I agree being prudent is a smart idea, especially in the face of such economic uncertainty. At the end of the day, I think we all need to fend for ourselves.

But it seems like we have a stock market comprised of 5-10 companies earning most of the revenue, the Wild West in crypto, the inflating and devaluing dollar, and sky-high real estate to choose from. Unfortunately, saving money isn't really an option.

This is why I am optimistic Bitcoin will succeed. Once people recognize that it's a savings device and a financial insurance instrument, I think the narrative will be stronger and volatility will be reduced.

I was playing an old song for my kids today (the MTA by Kingston Trio). It's a song I hated being forced to listen to as a child so I wanted to provide my kids with a similar experience. In the song, they mention the main character getting a nickel, and my daughter said, "A nickel? That's nothing."

I think that story sums up how our dollars are going to be worth a lot less in 50 in years than Bitcoin. But, hey, I could be wrong. Thank you for reading and commenting.
