Hey guys 🥹 Why does 2026 definitely require us to invest heavily in BTC through DCA?
Because in the future, money will roughly take three forms:
1. Money controlled by the state (fiat, etc.)
2. Money controlled by big corporations (USDT Tether, etc.)
3. Money that almost nobody can control (Bitcoin)
The fundamental differences between the three kinds of money
It’s not that the forms are different—it’s that the source of trust is different.
1. The trust source of fiat is the state’s coercive apparatus:
You trust it because you have to use it to pay taxes; if you don’t accept it, you’re forcibly governed.
This is the oldest and most fragile form of trust. It depends on the state not collapsing, not printing money recklessly, and not freezing your account.
Historically, only a handful of countries have managed to achieve all three.
2. The trust source of stablecoins like USDT is commercial credit
You trust Tether because in theory it has U.S. dollar reserves behind it.
But this trust in theory can be broken. Tether can face a financial crisis, can be shut down by the U.S. government, and can even collapse due to a bank-run-like event.
In essence, it outsources trust in the U.S. dollar to a single large corporation.
The profits Tether earns are constantly used to accumulate gold, making it the third-largest reserve institution besides sovereign states. It also layers additional trust endorsement and anchors for itself.
3. Bitcoin’s trust source is mathematics and energy
No CEO can sign to change the rules,
No government can print an extra coin.
As long as you store it properly, no one can freeze your private keys.
The object of trust isn’t a person—it’s the protocol itself.
The three kinds of money will coexist in the long term, not in a mutually exclusive, replacement relationship, but in a layered way.
Just like gold, the U.S. dollar, and stocks exist at the same time today.
Different people, different scenarios, and different needs will lead them to choose different kinds of money.
As state-controlled money becomes less trustworthy (inflation, control, sanctions),
And as big-corporation money becomes increasingly concentrated (Tether, Circle holding too much power),
Finally, the demand for “money that nobody can control” will grow bigger and bigger.
BTC doesn’t need to defeat the first two. It only needs to become the choice for the 10%, 20% of people.
Out of 8 billion people worldwide, even if only 5% choose to hold BTC as a store of value—and with a supply of only 21 million coins,
This mathematical answer, ah r999’s conclusion, may be infinitely close to the truth.
A million-dollar BTC is just the starting point.
