Background
Bitcoiners,
On February 27th, 2021, Jordan Peterson reached out to Gigi about Bitcoin.
Who is Jordan Peterson?
Taken directly from Dr. Peterson’s website:
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson is a professor of psychology at the University of Toronto, a clinical psychologist and the author of the multi-million copy bestseller 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, #1 for nonfiction in 2018 in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the Netherlands, Brazil and Norway, and slated for translation into 50 languages.
Jordan Peterson is one of the most famous philosophers alive today. Currently, his social media following is at:
Youtube: 3.5 million subscribers
Twitter: 1.7 million followers
Facebook: 1.1 million followers
Who is Gigi?
Taken directly from Gigi’s website:
Hi, I'm Gigi.
I'm a bitcoiner and software engineer, writing words and code for Bitcoin. My first book, 21 Lessons, is one of the most recommended books among bitcoiners. I launched various projects in the bitcoin space and am currently working on my second book, 21 Ways. My main focus is on privacy, security, free software, and education.
Gigi is one of the most humble educators in the Bitcoin community. Gigi does not have a very large following yet, but he is quickly gaining followers by the day.
Quick Story
I first heard of Jordan Peterson when he came on the Joe Rogan Experience Episode #1006 back in 2017. I was very skeptical of his preachings. At the time, he was tackling issues that made it seem like he was on the wrong side of the argument.
Dr. Peterson came on the Joe Rogan experience a few times since 2017. In one of the episodes, I learned he suffers from multiple autoimmune illnesses. I also suffer from autoimmune illnesses such as Psoriasis and Crohn’s disease. This parallel between Dr. Peterson and myself opened my mind to what he had to say.
Since then, I have read and listened to lots of his work. He made me challenge some of my prior assumptions. I am now a much better free thinker because of Dr. Peterson and his work.
Why is this Important?
Ok, enough of this background info on Dr. Peterson, Gigi, and myself.
Dr. Peterson has a massive following. He is beginning the Bitcoin journey as of today. As he understands Bitcoin with the help of very smart people such as Gigi, he will open the Bitcoin door to a whole new audience.
As Bitcoin’s popularity grows, the demand of owning Bitcoin will grow. Supply of Bitcoin is increasingly going down as people are moving their Bitcoin off of exchanges and into their own private custody. So, what happens to the price of Bitcoin?
Supply - Down
Demand - Up
The price of Bitcoin will increase.
The effects of Dr. Peterson embracing Bitcoin and exposing his audience to Bitcoin might take some time, but this event screams a bullish case for Bitcoin. At the time of this writing, Bitcoin is trading around $47,000 US dollars per Bitcoin. It might seem overpriced to most people. I think it is incomprehensibly undervalued.
I think I am going to buy more Bitcoin after publishing this article!
Happy Saturday,
