This is a fascinating article just seeing the differing percentiles of what's considered "wealthy" in other countries It really puts things in perspective. People who complain about being poor in the US would be considered rich elsewhere. Though I suspect that much of the 95th percentiles in those other countries are distorted by Western presence, i.e. US retirees, wealthy expats, etc.

Lately, I've begun to see wealth less as a number, and more as a function of political stability within a given region. And that's because wealth can be confiscated or redistributed very quickly by a corrupt government. This makes Bitcoin very attractive as a safe haven, as it can literally be transported in your mind (assuming you can access a wallet at some point). Even China's ban on Bitcoin mining did little to stop its momentum in global adoption.

I'd like to see Bitcoin adoption grow because people see it as a check on bad-faith government/centralized banking activities, rather than growing because traders manipulate the price with high leverage schemes. The latter seems to be more the case now. But nonetheless, I'll keep stacking.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing this.
