Summary
Will De Michaelis, owner and operator of a crematory mortuary, shares how his experience with end-of-life care and the healthcare system led him to Bitcoin. He observed that people's biggest regret in life is not living authentically and that the fiat system often forces them into a life they don't want. Bitcoin, with its sound money attributes, offers hope and the ability to buy back time and freedom. Will started the BTC4Dummies Twitter account to contribute to the Bitcoin community and track the evolving narrative. In the long term, Will De Michaelis envisions a global Bitcoin standard where Bitcoin is acknowledged globally as money. He believes that fiat will still exist alongside Bitcoin, but it may take longer than 20 years for fiat to go away completely. Will sees Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, a unit of account for products, and even a medium for commodities contracts between nation states. He predicts that Bitcoin will be widely adopted in the Western world and most of the prominent Eastern world, with a general acknowledgement of Bitcoin as pristine money and capital.
