Prague didn't become one of Europe's richest cities in the 14th century because of its castles. 🪙🦋🍄
It became rich because of silver.
In the 13th century, enormous silver deposits were discovered near Prague in Kutná Hora. The Bohemian kings quickly understood what that meant: if you control the silver, you control the market. 👀
They turned that silver into the Prague groschen, a currency so trusted that it spread across Central Europe and helped fuel centuries of trade.
History keeps teaching the same lesson:
Whoever controls the money supply shapes the economy...
For most of civilization, that power belonged to kings, emperors, governments, and eventually central banks. They decided how much money existed and when more could be created.
The problem is that when money can be "expanded" without a hard limit (brrr), the value of everyone else's savings depends on the decisions of a small group of people.
Silver is scarce by nature.
Gold is even scarcer.
But Bitcoin takes it to the next level.
It's not only scarce but also transparent, inclusive, borderless, decentralized, and censorship-resistant.
No new discoveries.
No surprise printing.
No central authority.
This is the first time in history that money isn’t controlled by the few.
That’s why I'm here for the long run. 🔥
