I mean, you do believe in Bitcoin, so I have a large grain of salt ready. (I kid I kid)

well, it's a solution to a problem most people don't care about: secure, permissionless, trustless (but slow) transfer of value.

whether they should care...not sure. That said, I think the problem is big enough that the innovation is here to stay. salt is good

I want someone who believes in the risks of deflation to explain Bitcoin to me.

I'm not an economist, so I'm not your guy. But deflation is risky. Wages are sticky, you don't tend to get paid less as $ increases

right. Sticky wages + hoarding are both risks. BTC is deflationary on purpose. Seems problematic.

right, so more like gold (store of val) vs cash (highly liquid IOUs). It's a weird vehicle - trans vol is at an all time high atm

hoarders want gold but need it to carry cashlike utility (so there are reasons to spend it) so demand increases, so price val inc.
