Read_891 - The Rise of Bitcoin Stocks and Bonds

"In order for something to be used as ubiquitous money,
the spender has to already have it, and the recipient has to want
to hold it. Notably, people usually want to receive more of what
they already have. After all, if a potential recipient wanted to
hold it, they likely would have already bought some. So, if a new
type of ubiquitous money were to arise, the majority of people
would likely first encounter it as an investment."
~ Lyn Alden


If Bitcoin is freedom money, what happens when corporations and
governments start buying it? Is it captured—or is that exactly
what success looks like?


Lyn Alden’s new piece lays out the full arc of Bitcoin's
monetization path, and I dig into her framing of situational vs.
ubiquitous money. We talk leverage, ETFs, treasury strategies,
and how Bitcoin is infiltrating the legacy financial system not
despite its cypherpunk roots—but because of them.
