8 predictions bitcoin maxis got right

LISTEN TO THOSE WITH A GOOD TRACK RECORD Trying to forecast the future is no easy task. Reality is too complex, too many variables interact with each other creating unforeseen chain

reactions that result in exponential change. However, one group of people that get just about everything right is the Bitcoin Maxis. They can be arrogant, toxic, and obnoxious at times, but

they have a point. Here are some of the predictions they got spot on when everybody else thought they were crazy. 1. INFLATION When governments started printing money like there was no

tomorrow many in the Bitcoin community predicted the consequent rise in inflation. Central banks, politicians, and economists counterattacked by claiming that printing money doesn’t

necessarily lead to inflation and everything was under control. Well, it does. We are now roughly at 10% CPI, something not seen in the developed world since the 70s, and let’s keep in mind

we are not done yet. The temptation to print is just too strong in a system that is designed to grow forever or crash, and those at the wheel with no skin in the game don’t seem to care

about the consequences. We have become junkies addicted to low-interest rates, high liquidity, and easy credit. No one has the guts to break this vicious cycle and time is running out. Also,

let’s not forget that CPI is a lie, the real inflation figures can be seen at the supermarket, petrol stations, and utility bills and they are at least double the official number.

Bitcoiners keep reminding us: “I told you so” 2. CBDCS There has been a lot of denial from governments about the advent of Central Bank Digital Currencies. At first, only China admitted to

being working on it. Bitcoiners said every government will issue CBDCs in less than 5 years. Now we are seeing how the BIS, the IMF, the ECB, the UK government, and others jurisdictions are

changing the narrative and getting ready to release their spy coins on us. This was obvious to Bitcoiners but apparently not to everyone else. CBDCs are coming and will destroy whatever

little we have left in terms of sovereignty and independence. You have been warned. 3. CRYPTO SCAMS There has been a number of crypto projects that were too good to be true and despite

constant reminders from Bitcoiners, no one listened. Perhaps the most notorious is Celsius, a lending platform promising generous rates of return with very little downside. Well, it was too

good to be true after all. Bitcoin Twitter had been warning us about Celsius many months in advance, and thanks to them, many people managed to save some of their assets just in time. When

you hear a bitcoiner crying wolf, pay attention, run fast, and don’t look back. 4. SHITCOINS It’s only natural to come to the Bitcoin world and get distracted by the unending stream of

altcoins offering better, faster, and cheaper performance with the intention of killing Bitcoin forever. All those amazing projects eventually go to zero and disappear forever. Luna is the

most infamous example but there are many more. Had we listened to the toxic maximalists our money will be safe and growing steadily in the Bitcoin network and not disappearing into thin air

by a rug-pull or scammy project created by dishonest teams. Listen to the maxis, they are right. Shitcoins are not worth the risk. 5. WEAPONIZED FINANCE When the Ukraine war started, the

west reacted by sanctioning Russia financially. They were expelled from the swift system and all Russian accounts held in dollars were effectively confiscated. Then Bitcoiners predicted a

worldwide reaction. Many nations realized that a weaponized dollar couldn’t be trusted as a neutral currency and started making a move. Ever since, BRICS countries have been working on

developing a new reserve currency backed by commodities in order to break the dollar hegemony. It was pretty obvious in hindsight, yet nobody saw it coming… except Bitcoiners. Now we are

heading into a world with at least 2 or 3 global currencies where the dollar is no longer the reference. The US shot itself in the foot. 6. DEVELOPING NATION ADOPTION One of Bitcoin’s

strongest selling points is the ability to trade in a permissionless and censorship-resistant manner. This is steadily becoming a lifesaver in countries where human rights are not respected

and censorship is often used as a tool for oppression. Following this narrative, Bitcoiners predicted that those countries with hyperinflation and politically corrupt regimes will be the

first to adopt Bitcoin to escape poverty, devaluation, and oppression. Well, it turns out that countries with the highest adoption are exactly those with the weakest currencies, broken

financial systems, and low democratic values. Venezuela, Argentina, Vietnam, Ukraine, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, and others are leading the world in Bitcoin adoption. They don’t have the luxury of

choice, for them, Bitcoin is a necessity. It is beautifully working just as predicted. 7. ETHEREUM DEMISE There has been an intense debate between Bitcoiners and the rest of the world about

the necessity of the Proof of Work Mining mechanism used by Bitcoin in order to mint coins in a secure and decentralized way. PoW uses a fair amount of energy and this has been weaponized by

many institutions in order to label the network as environmentally unfriendly. Those same institutions were pushing their agenda and defending other protocols like Ethereum as more ESG

compliant due to the switch from PoW to a less energy-intensive method like Proof of Stake. However, as predicted by Bitcoiners, PoS is just a voting system in which the elite have the say

in the protocol and can push any changes making it much more centralized and therefore insecure. Ever since the merge, the ETH blockchain has become 99% OFAC compliant, meaning that most of

the transactions could be canceled, censored, or ban by the government, Amazon Web services, or even their own elite. Yes, they are saving some energy but at the price of creating an

enormous danger to the network and investors’ money. PoS is a flawed system that can’t guarantee the integrity of the protocol and it’s not that clean either. This was predicted by

Bitcoiners and it is happening as we speak. 8. ESG POLICIES FAILING In recent years we have seen a strong tendency from governments, the WEF, and the IMF to push the green agenda. Nothing

wrong with that. However, in order to replace the legacy system there must be some planning, preparation, and a steady implementation program. Otherwise, we run out of energy and the whole

situation becomes a mess. That is exactly what’s happening in Europe and particularly Germany where they have been closing nuclear power plants for not being clean enough. Now they are

burning coal. This is what happens when politicians are free to pursue their fantasies without any anchor to reality. Engineers are much better suited to design systems that actually work

instead of succumbing to a political agenda. Bitcoin has been built by engineers and this is why it works. Those same engineers are the ones that warned us against the mistake of closing

nuclear plants. Once again they were right. CONCLUSION Bitcoin Maxis can be obnoxious, arrogant, and toxic. However, if you want to participate in the most secure monetary system ever

created, if you want to be able to make censorship-resistant transactions, if you want to send money peer-to-peer permissionlessly, if you want a protocol that is bulletproof, then you need

to listen to them. Bitcoin is in itself a prediction. It predicts the end of fiat money, and the beginning of a new era of transparent, immutable, scarce money where the rules are written in

stone, controlled by math and cryptography where no one can manipulate the system to their advantage. Whenever you hear a prediction from maxis about the fiat system, inflation, pensions,

war, shitcoins, or various other scams you better listen. Your money and your life are on the line. Even if you are not interested in BTC, you should pay attention to macroeconomic trends.

Your subsistence depends on it. Bitcoiners understand money and finance better than most so-called experts. If you want to maintain whatever wealth you have generated over the years, you

better read between the lines about what’s going on in the world. Watching the news, and listening to politicians or economists pushing their agenda won’t do you any good for you. Only those

who have skin in the game are worth following. But perhaps the biggest lesson here is that the fiat system is broken, pensions are a scam, whatever investment you can do within the fiat

system is deeply flawed and therefore you should find an alternative before it’s too late. The tsunami is coming and you are playing by the shore with your kids. Some crazy maxi is warning

you about the imminent danger. Would you listen this time?
