The Bitcoin Matrix
Jimbo: The Intersubjective Value of Bitcoin
- Jimbo's four-book series on Bitcoin starts with *Orange Coin Good*, which frames Bitcoin as three inseparable components: programmable money, a computer network, and a social phenomenon driven by human behavior.
- Fiat currency devalues purchasing power by roughly 55% over a 40-year working life, functioning as an invisible tax worse than explicit taxation.
- Bitcoin is the first rival and excludable digital good, solving the problem of digital scarcity that no previous technology achieved before its invention.
- Reciprocal altruism and the detection of cheaters are core human behaviors that money encodes; Bitcoin removes the need for trust in centralized institutions.
- At $1 million per Bitcoin, sat-denominated pricing (one cent per sat) will trigger mainstream adoption and a shift away from shitcoins due to unit bias correction.
- Bitcoin will eventually become the metric of intersubjective value against which all other investment opportunities are measured in Bitcoin terms.
