Great article @CarlBMenger.
It’s impossible to measure any value, when the supply of money is varying and unknown. Bitcoin is the solution to this, finally having a constant to determine real value.
Unfortunately the elder generation and brainwashed academics has difficulties understanding the true value of Bitcoin.
Although there is a lot of apps and solution to get your Bitcoin into your own custody, it is not as easily understood as a regular bank account - at least not from a western developed country perspective. You do need spend time and energy to learn how to really own your Bitcoin and cases like FTX just incentivized people to learn this.
It is going to take some tough learnings, but eventually everyone will get there. A lot of people in the space including yourself is already making a massive impact teaching people about this.
