Summary

The most widely misunderstood aspect of Bitcoin is its role as a monetary asset and a reliable store of value. Many people still don't trust Bitcoin or understand its potential. Bitcoin is not just a payment app or a platform; it is a monetary protocol that is being monetized faster than any other monetary good in history. The trust network of Bitcoin is growing and providing positive feedback for its adoption. Bitcoin is a fundamental protocol that is core to our communication layers, and it has the potential to reinvent the internet. Bitcoin's adoption and trust-building process will be slow and long. In this conversation, Guy Swann discusses the potential timeline for a complete Bitcoin standard and its impact on society. He explains that trust in Bitcoin is a slow network effect that takes time to gain. He references Alex Fetzky's three generations theory, which suggests that it may take 25-30 years for Bitcoin to become the base of a new growing economy. Swann also discusses the acceleration of technology and the disruptions that occur on top of disruptions. He believes that a Bitcoin standard will remove the misinformation and friction caused by fiat money, leading to a renaissance and a more productive society.
