What is it: This shows bitcoin's ROI vs other potential inflation hedge assets.

Why it matters: As with the historical bitcoin price table, we see bitcoin's extreme outperformance vs other assets here as well. Bitcoin's relatively small size, plus fundamental properties, yield extreme outperformance when even relatively small funds-flows find their way to BTC.

Louisiana State Legislature Passes Resolution Commending Bitcoin


 

The US State of Louisiana passed a resolution yesterday "To commend Bitcoin for its success in becoming the first decentralized trillion dollar asset and to encourage the state and local governments to consider ways that could help them benefit from the increased use of this new technology."


The resolution focuses on bitcoin, but makes one reference to a local 'community currency', which may be part of the legislature's underlying motivation. In any event, the resolution goes on to reference various aspects of bitcoin's design, its relationship to gold, and even specifically commends Satoshi Nakamoto:

WHEREAS, Bitcoin, which could potentially replace gold as a monetary reserve, is limited and finite and there is a maximum capacity of only twenty-one million bitcoins allowed to be produced; ... WHEREAS, not only has Bitcoin proven to be a critical tool for businesses, it has proven to be a critical tool for citizens around the world to protect themselves from currency debasement. THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby commend Satoshi Nakamoto for his contribution to economic security. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby commend Bitcoin for its success in becoming the first decentralized trillion dollar asset and encourage the state and local governments to consider ways that could help them benefit from the increased use of this new technology.

tldr

  • The resolution specifically notes that bitcoin could replace gold as a monetary reserve
  • Whatever the LA legislature's motivations, an official resolution commending bitcoin is an interesting development
  • This is yet another data point against common bitcoin critique #2
