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.

Bitcoin - The Libertarian Introduction
This is one of the older articles explaining bitcoin, but still very useful, especially to those who are interested about bitcoin from a political perspective.
Topics include:
- What is Bitcoin, and how does it work (very high level overview)
- Why is Bitcoin valuable? (scarcity, seizure resistance, zero counterparty risk)

- Private money and the concept of "backing"
- How to obtain and store bitcoin (some examples outdated, but concepts still valid)
- Bitcoin vs The State
- Bitcoin and Disruption
EXCERPT
