US national debt has surpassed $39 trillion.
In just the last 18 months, it has grown by another $2 trillion. To put that into perspective: even earning $1 million every single day, it would take roughly 5,500 years to accumulate $2 trillion.
The uniqueness of the system is that it doesn’t need to reach into everyone’s pocket directly. It simply expands the money supply, calling it “liquidity growth,” “quantitative easing,” or “balance sheet expansion.” The result is the same: each unit of currency gradually loses purchasing power.
This isn’t a bug of the system. It’s a feature of how the system operates.
As a result, purchasing power slowly transfers from savers to issuers of new money and owners of scarce assets.
The biggest paradox appears during market corrections. When scarce assets like #Bitcoin become cheaper, most people see them as dangerously risky. Yet the asset that can be created in virtually unlimited quantities is still viewed as a safe store of value.
Not everything that looks safe preserves wealth. And not everything that looks risky is the real risk.

In 2011 I mined 214 #Bitcoin on a dying laptop.
Sold 14 for $4.20.
Wrote the rest in a notebook. Blue cover. Cat on the front.
Then I forgot about it.
The notebook disappeared during my mom’s move.
I searched for three weeks.
Nothing.
I drank for ten days. Then built a wall around it in my mind and never spoke about it again.
2017.Bitcoin hits $20,000.
I’m lying next to my wife at 2am unable to breathe.
$4,000,000.
I had it. In a notebook. With a cat on the cover.
I start snapping at my kids. She asks why. I say work stress.
The shame is too heavy to explain.
February 2020. 11pm. Mom calls.
“Dima, I found an old notebook. Blue. Little cat on the front.”
I don’t remember getting dressed.
I don’t remember the drive.
I sat in the car outside her building for 22 minutes holding page 34.
12 words. Pencil. Barely visible.
200 BTC. Every single one. Untouched. Nine years.
I locked the door and cried like a child.
Told no one. Not even my wife.
Bought a Ledger with cash. Slept 4 hours a night for three months.
The paranoia was a living thing.
2021.$60k per coin.
I paid off the mortgage. Called it a bonus.
Bought my mom an apartment. Said I’d been saving.
My wife looked at me sometimes with an expression I couldn’t read.
2024.She finds the Ledger in my jacket doing laundry.
Sets it on the table. Says nothing. Just looks at me.
I sit down and tell her everything.
All of it. Two hours.
When I finish she’s quiet for a long time.
Then:
“You carried this alone for four years?”
She reaches across the table and puts her hand over mine.
The way you touch someone who survived something you didn’t know was happening.
160 BTC still on the cold wallet.
The notebook is in a fireproof safe.
I’ll never throw it away.
People ask me if they should buy Bitcoin.
I don’t answer.
I just think about grief.
About how I lost everything twice - once to carelessness, once to giving up.
The coins were always there.
I was the one who disappeared.
