regardless of the absolute stupidity of this tweet, he's also fundamentally and mathematically wrong. that 1 bitcoin is not a fixed percentage of the future economy because bitcoins keep getting lost and therefore 1 is a greater and greater percentage of his fantasy football economy.

your money is only a fixed number if you never use it for anything i know this particular flavor of brain damage isn't new or rare among bitcoiners, but i can't stop being baffled by it

there's 17.5 million bitcoins currently all of them are either currently in someone's possession or lost until magic computers break all of encryption forever i just don't understand how they think that somehow the 3 or so not lost bitcoins get to be averaged out over the entire global money supply. like how does that even begin to make sense?

its like the market cap, just take all the money in the world, divide it by the number of bitcoins and see how many trillions of lambos you can buy in the future with your 3 micro satoshis

i really dont get how so many people don't understand that something being rare does not automatically make it valuable. there are way less than 21m of TF2 hats that there will never be more of and only a few people suggested basing the world economy on the max head. and even if cryptocurrency was adopted as world currency there is no reason for them to pick bitcoin specifically since anyone can create new blockchains with any number of coins. and even if they still did pick bitcoin the miners could vote to raise the limit.

so the world economy collapses and all money turns to ash...how do people get bitcoin? this is the thing i don't understand, it isn't like you have the holders then all the other bitcoins are just floating in the aether waiting to get picked up, all bitcoins belong to someone. in this scenario who in their right mind would accept a bucket of money dust for precious precious bitcoins. idk they way some of them talk it seems like the economy would be the same now but only in bitcoins and they own a large percentage of itmy brain is melting tryig to understand themhlpme

mining is already centralized. bitmain has overwhelming control of both the current mining power (because they own a lot of miners) and the intermediate-future potential mining power (because they have the best miner design and the most expertise in making them). the only real check on their absolute power over bitcoin is the health of the ordinary financial system: if bitmain seriously abused their power, people would have options. in a world where somehow bitcoin is the transaction network of record, who is going to stop bitmain from giving themselves a larger block reward or demanding extortionate fees when they can just 51% attack any altchains into oblivion? ...i mean the real answer is men with guns, who are not going to tolerate some random chinese company having total control of the world financial system
