Hey guys 🥹 CZ is making Bitcoin move: in the next bull cycle, it might even surpass gold.

At the Bitcoin Asia Summit, CZ candidly said:
Gold’s total market cap is currently about 10 times that of Bitcoin,
but closing this gap isn’t just a matter of price.

It’s a global reshuffling of the mindset behind the question: “What counts as a reliable reserve asset?”

This line made Lizi think of the book *The Sovereign Individual*.
Back in the 1990s, it predicted something:
with the development of information technology,
individuals would gradually break free from nation-states’ control over wealth.

Power would shift from the “monopolists of violence”
to assets and individuals that can move freely
and cannot be forcibly seized.

The book argues that the internet and cryptography will give rise to a class of “sovereign individuals” —
people who don’t rely on any government credit endorsement,
who can survive anywhere in the world with their own technology and assets.

Back then, it sounded like science fiction.
Now, looking at Bitcoin itself, its existence is the most accurate realization of that prediction.

Gold’s credibility comes from the momentum of 5,000 years of history,
plus a certain independence rooted in the idea that a nation can confiscate it but cannot completely destroy it.

But in the end, gold is physical.
It can be sealed up, restricted for cross-border movement.

Bitcoin’s credibility comes from mathematics and protocols.
Your private key is in your own mind.
As long as you store it properly, no government can take it away without knowing the password.

This is the core of CZ’s “cognitive shift”:
the yardstick for reserve assets is moving
from “established by history”
to “cannot be deprived of it.”

So he was willing to state plainly in public: “In the future, Bitcoin will be more important than gold — and it may even complete the surpassing in the next bull run.”

No one can guarantee it.
But the logic written in *The Sovereign Individual* three decades ago
is being fulfilled in this generation’s hands.

Uncertain is the timing.
Certain is the direction.

All in all, let’s firmly 🐒 hold the big pie,
and punch out the S key!
