Read_479 – The Greatest Game, Part 1 [Jeff Booth]
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete” – Buckminster Fuller
Today we are digging back into The Bitcoin Times Vol 3! Our read is a brilliant piece by Jeff Booth, author of The Price of Tomorrow, titled “The Greatest Game.” Paradigm shifts, why they are so hard to see, why capitalistic failure is a critical component, and how the old system compounds its own imbalances that make it unable to compete with the new challenger. A lens to view our changing world, this is not to be missed.
Don’t forget to check out the original with that hilarious graph showing just how horribly off mark the CBO yield estimates have been for the past decade, plus the other great work from the author & The Bitcoin Times:

Read_478 – Bullish on Bitcoiners [John Vallis]
“After all, Bitcoin is just a tool, and it’s only revolutionary in so far as its unique attributes generate novel possibilities for action — that is to say, new behaviors.” – John Vallis
Before continuing our ride through The Bitcoin Times, we have a fantastic piece from John Vallis as part of the End of Year 2020 series with Bitcoin Magazine. One of numerous excellent articles looking back on 2020 and what it brought to Bitcoin, and what Bitcoin brought to it. John Vallis gives us a perspective of the change that Bitcoin instills, after all its just a tool, what really makes a difference, and where the change truly lies, is in us.
Don’t miss a wonderful piece on the human element of Bitcoin’s societal revolution. Bullish on Bitcoiners:

Guy’s Take_039 – Bitcoin is the Pin
We are in the midst of one of history’s greatest financial bubbles, represented both in a global debt crisis, as well as a bloated, subsidized financial sector that is many times greater in size than it naturally should be. Rather than Bitcoin being the bubble that everyone claims it is, on the contrary, the financial system is a “greater fool” bubble, and Bitcoin is the pin.
Don’t forget to check out the great reads that were mentioned and shed tons of light on today’s take:

Read_477 – Bitcoin is the Great Definancialization [Parker Lewis]
“The greatest trick that central banks ever pulled was convincing the world that individuals must perpetually take risk just to preserve value already created (and saved). It is insane, and the only practical solution is to find a better form of money which eliminates the negative asymmetry inherent to systemic currency debasement.” – Parker Lewis
Let the Gradually, Then Suddenly series never die! Installment #17 comes to us in the 2020 edition of The Bitcoin Times. Parker Lewis hits it out of the park again with a piece detailing the process by which our monetary system has led to a massive, bloated, and over-financialized economy, forcing people to fight just to keep the value they already earned.
“Bitcoin is the Great Definancialization”

Read_475 – The Sovereign Company Thesis [Christian Keroles]
“Today, bitcoin is still an alternative treasury asset, but as larger and more powerful organizations begin to use Bitcoin directly, they will begin to tear away from the overreach of governments. This in and of itself will challenge the dynamics of governance and the nature of nation states as we currently know them.” – Ck_snarks
We all know that Bitcoin creates sovereignty and protects the individual’s right to own and use money without the permission of government. But everything it provides to the individual, it can provide to a company as well. With the BitMEX example giving us a taste of what could be, Christian Keroles takes us through a great, quick read on the sovereignty of business enterprise in a Bitcoin world, and how it fundamentally changes the dynamics of governance, and removes the power to shut down the capital of the world.

Read_474 – The Fraying of the Petrodollar System – Part 2 [Lyn Alden]
“As a decentralized and open source project, adopted by many programmers and proponents around the world, many intelligent people have dedicated their careers to Bitcoin. It’s hard to find a more voracious group of people than those in the Bitcoin community, and increasingly over time, Wall Street money has poured in as well.” – Lyn Alden
Today we conclude the awesome piece from Lyn Alden breaking down the petrodollar system and get some time to explore just how entering Bitcoin into the field could change the path going forward. Does it become a niche asset that serves a small market for specific use cases, or does it become something much bigger? Listen to find out, we have got a marathon of one today, and you don’t want to miss it.
Don’t forget to explore the absolute treasure trove of graphs and data to accompany this piece, and obviously the other amazing work from Lyn Alden as well:
