Why Bitcoin's Scarcity Is Actually Its Greatest Flaw
Manage episode 500080261 series 3563829
Mike Green offers a compelling critique of Bitcoin, revealing how its artificial scarcity creates a system that fundamentally concentrates wealth and power while undermining economic mobility for future generations.
• Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins creates a permanently deflationary environment that makes debt-based economic activity impossible
• Unlike gold, Bitcoin has no mechanism to increase supply when it becomes too scarce, leading to ever-increasing concentration of wealth
• The price of Bitcoin is directly correlated to money flowing into Bitcoin ETFs, not any intrinsic value creation
• Companies like MicroStrategy are effectively creating synthetic Bitcoin exposure through financial engineering that resembles Ponzi schemes
• Bitcoin's inelasticity means that as more money flows in, the price rises dramatically, benefiting early holders disproportionately
• Young people in a Bitcoin-dominated future would face insurmountable barriers to economic participation
