Capturing true value in Bitcoin

Recently, I had the realization that any form of value you create consists of immediate and long-term effects.

Consider this scenario: you spend 100 hours developing a consumer product from scratch and receive $5,000 for your efforts as compensation. The immediate outcome of your 100 hours translates into this $5,000 – that’s the direct, tangible value. Most people stop their assessment at this point. However, the true value of those hours extends much further – the product goes into production, it’s used by consumers, and the company may make millions in profit. This represents the long-term value generated by your initial investment of time.

Grasping this concept has reinforced my view (once again!) that Bitcoin represents the most superior form of store of value. It uniquely captures the value you create without the risk of dilution. As the Bitcoin network’s value increases, so does the value of the Bitcoin you hold. This growth reflects Bitcoin’s capacity to encapsulate both the immediate and expansive impact of value creation.
