But now I'm wondering if embracing accelerationism might be the fastest way to end this civilization and give us the reset we so desperately need. If so, bitcoin and AI would be the way to go.
On the other hand, chances are high it will only end civilization for the common people.
What makes you think that Bitcoin holder would want your worthless US dollars to exchange for something they have that is increasing in buying power literally every minute ( and has for the last 15 years)
So basically whatever price bitcoin is going for, subtract 25% due to inflation over the last 3 years and that is what it would be worth in January of 2020. The value hasn't gone up, just the price.
You can buy gold bullion with Bitcoin if you like.

I have zero use for gold. The only metal I could possibly use would potentially be various extruded aluminum shapes. No projects needing that at this time though.
The only reason I can think of to support bitcoin is if it were guaranteed to end our civilization, but it's far more likely to lead to total human slavery.

You can buy more with Bitcoin today than you could 5 years ago.
But you can buy less with dollars.
Bitcoin is valued in buying power

I've had a bitcoin tab open on my computer since it was $32. What makes you see it as something to get involved with?
