Tell me how many BTC a new TV is going to be in two years, I'll tell you how many USD it'll be. As a stable, inflation-resistant currency, the BTC value should be easy to predict


The simple moving average for 1BTC should be around $50,000, so a $500 TV will be about 0.01BTC.

Hype or fear may drive the price higher or lower than that, but if you regularly buy and spend bitcoin then the swings average out back to the simple moving average over time, which reliably increases against USD.

I get paid a fixed USD amount of Bitcoin every month regardless of price so my exposure to it similarly averages out.


Why don’t you get a fixed BTC amount? Why anchor it to USD if BTC is the more stable option?
