Sea Shells By The Digital Shore: How We All Sell Each Other The Same Damn Story
👋 Let's play a game.
I have a rock. It's a special rock. There are exactly 21 million of these rocks in the world, and no one can ever make more. I will trade you food, shelter, and your labor for this rock.
You'd tell me to get lost.
🤔 Now, let's change the story.
I have a digital rock. It's a special digital rock. There are exactly 21 million of these digital rocks, and a global network of computers enforces the limit. I will trade you food, shelter, and your labor for this digital rock.
Suddenly, you're not talking to a crazy person on a beach. You're talking to a Bitcoin investor.
This is the magic trick at the heart of our entire civilization ✨🪄🔮: the story is the value.
We are all just advanced monkeys on a beach, trading shells.
🐚 Some shells are called "dollars," backed by the full faith and credit of a government that can print more whenever it panics.
🐚 Some shells are called "gold," backed by five thousand years of collective human obsession.
🐚 Some shells are called "diamonds" They sparkle nice, so we believe the "natural" ones are more valuable then the one made in lab. Because people died for that one diamond in the past, or some spoiled mad queen wore it around her elegant neck before she was hanged.
🐚 And some shells are lines of code in a digital ledger, backed by the full faith and credit of... people who really believe in lines of code in a digital ledger.
🤝 We’ve agreed that certain stories are worth more than others. The U.S. dollar’s story is a thriller:
💵 “The Mightiest Military on Earth Says This Paper is Good.” 💲
⚜️ Gold’s story is an epic saga:
👑 “Kings, Pharaohs, and Bankers Have Killed For This Metal For Millennia.”
🧑💻 Bitcoin’s story is a tech manifesto:
“Math and Code Are Your New Gods.”
And Satoshi. cause noone knows who he is.😉
👉 But if we all wake up tomorrow and decide the story is stupid, the shell is worthless.
Think about it:
If we all agree the dollar is just green toilet paper , it’s over.
If we all agree gold is just a dense, useless metal , it becomes a paperweight.
If we all agree diamonds are just shiny rocks that can be made artificially, they become as worth as a regular glass.
If we all agree Bitcoin is just a very expensive Excel spreadsheet, it evaporates.
The only thing backing any of it is our collective, desperate, frantic agreement to keep believing the story.
We built a global economy on this. We wage wars for it. We measure the worth of human life and labor with it. And at its core, it’s just a more complicated version of two kids in a yard arguing over who gets the shinier pebble.
We have long discussions "Gold or BTC" . We are looking the whole life's through this fake caleidoscop of broken images. Just because we believe the story we made up.
So the next time you see a chart rocketing to the moon or crashing to earth, just remember: it's not really about code, or mining rigs, or Federal Reserve meetings.
It's just the tide coming in and out on the beach 🌊
And we're all still just standing here, trying to decide which shells are the prettiest.🐚
Totaly forgetting to stop and apriciate the power of the very real sunset in the background.
Now pass me that shiny one. I hear it's going to the moon.
