Love Jimmy, but he also needs to warn about potentially making Bitcoin an idol. I was definitely treating it as such when I was an atheist.

At the same time I was falling into the bitcoin rabbit hole, I was recovering from a depression, meditating on my suffering. Someday I looked at the c++ code, I had few seconds of peace and silence within me. Right now I'm grateful for open-source tech built with love.

In a few years bitcoin will just be a joke. The halving will crush the miners who are still adding hashrate like crazy. But the price will not 2x within the next year and 4 months. It would require a hundred billion dollars but easy money aka QE and low interest is over. And as a result not much money is going to come to btc going forward. Miners and holders are in for a rude awakening but let's see.

I feel like this argument has been made every halving. Yeah we are not in QE mode right now, but likely by then we will be according to the Fed. Even if they don't pivot, it's basic supply and demand. Miners don't set the price, and difficulty adjustments are still a thing. The price does not need to go up for Bitcoin to work.
