Pray, lend me your attention, dear reader, for I am about to recount a most extraordinary discourse delivered at the Bitcoin Asia 2025 conference by none other than Balaji Srinivasan-an entrepreneur of no small repute and author of works both profound and perplexing. With an air of confidence that bordered on theatrical flair, he proclaimed not *if* Bitcoin shall prevail, but *when*. And yet, this victory, he warned with a sly smile, would merely herald the commencement of a fresh and formidable skirmish.
The Demise of the Federal Reserve’s Dominion
Mr. Srinivasan, in his infinite wisdom-or perhaps it was mere mischief-asserted that the ascent of Bitcoin shall inevitably dismantle the mighty U.S. Federal Reserve’s dominion over global finance. “When Bitcoin wins,” said he, with all the gravity of a Shakespearean soliloquy, “the Fed loses its grip.” For while central banks may freeze accounts and print currency as whimsically as one selects bonnets at a milliner’s shop, they cannot seize Bitcoin nor mint more than its steadfast limit of 21 million coins. Oh, how droll!
He then proceeded to extol Bitcoin’s virtues, describing it as offering “algorithmic and predictable monetary policy,” which, he assured us, is nothing short of revolutionary. Unlike the capricious machinations of central bankers-who appear to operate on little more than intuition or what Mr. Srinivasan mockingly termed “just feels”-Bitcoin provides certainty. Certainty, mind you, for businesses and markets alike who must plan for futures fraught with uncertainty. How quaintly ironic!
A Network Without Borders, Adoption Without End
Continuing his sermon, Mr. Srinivasan likened Bitcoin transactions to the transmission of data across the internet-a borderless network where payments become mere packets, unencumbered by banks or states. He cited Lebanon’s recent currency collapse (a tragedy turned triumph) as evidence of Bitcoin’s rapid adoption, declaring that usage there “just went vertical.” One might say it soared like a phoenix from the ashes of fiscal despair. Or perhaps, like a particularly ambitious kite flown during a gale.
The Upheaval of Economic Order
With the dramatic flourish of a playwright unveiling his final act, Mr. Srinivasan foretold the downfall of long-standing financial systems. “When Bitcoin wins,” quipped he, “Keynesianism falls like communism.” Government bonds, once deemed safe havens, are now branded “the return-free risk.” Real estate, bloated by years of Fed intervention, shall deflate in real terms as individuals choose to store value in Bitcoin rather than bricks and mortar. Fiat currencies, too, shall lose their local monopolies, competing against stablecoins and national digital currencies in an open arena. Local newspapers crumbled under the weight of the internet age; so too, he predicts, shall most national currencies crumble under the weight of blockchain innovation. How delightfully dystopian!
The Billionaire Flip and the Printer’s Last Hurrah
Amongst his many prophetic declarations, one stood out as particularly striking-the so-called “billionaire flip.” At Bitcoin prices ranging between $100,000 and $1 million, half the world’s billionaires, he claimed, shall transform into crypto magnates, thereby diluting fiat wealth and shifting capital toward those daring innovators unafraid of risk. Truly, a plot twist worthy of Austen herself!
Furthermore, he declared an end to the era of limitless money creation, proclaiming with great fanfare, “When Bitcoin wins, the printer runs out of toner.” Governments, he argued, shall finally face constraints and accountability in their expenditures-a notion so preposterous it almost beggars belief. Almost.
Battles Yet to Come and Visions of the Future
Despite his rosy prognostications, Mr. Srinivasan issued a cautionary note, warning that governments will not go gently into that good night. Nay, they shall retaliate fiercely, targeting coders, networks, cryptography, software, and even communities. He drew parallels to FDR’s infamous gold seizure of 1933, advising sagely, “Your physical location is much more important than your portfolio allocation over the next 10 years.” Wise counsel indeed, though one wonders if such pragmatism suits the romantic spirit of our age.
In closing, he invited builders to the forthcoming Network State 2025 conference in Singapore, painting a vision of a world comprising “a thousand city system” where individuals select their communities as effortlessly as they choose colleges. “If you wish to build,” he concluded, “if it is time to build, then come to Singapore… we can use all of our cloud capital to rebuild the land and to construct cities and communities.” A stirring call to action, though one suspects Jane herself would have raised an eyebrow at such utopian aspirations.
