This document discusses the evolution of money and society. It argues that money is the foundational layer of society and the most important human resource. Bitcoin is presented as an emergent form of digital and scarce money that could become a multi-trillion dollar asset class. The author advocates accumulating Bitcoin over the long run through dollar cost averaging as the greatest wealth transfer in history is currently happening through the rise of digital assets.

- 31. @TheAmberApp amber.app Scarcity Why is it so important? It ensures value is maintained, across the dimension of time. It’s at the core of how we intuitively define value, eg: • Close friends / family members • Personal trinkets (from your great, great grandma) • Art • Time You get ONE shot at digital scarcity

- 35. @TheAmberApp amber.app Bitcoin is not its code, or its community, its miners, its block size, or its history - it’s all of these things, all mixed together. This emergent, complex nature makes Bitcoin the only one that matters. It’s why no other money, network or copy- cat clepto-currency can ever replicate it. Why Bitcoin
