Bitcoin as a solution

Cash is a liability, not an asset. Therefore, every fiat instrument based on cash should be discounted at 15% per year, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.

While Bitcoin is volatile short-term, it is always worth more over five years.

If you generate cash flows in fiat currency that are growing slower than the hurdle rate, you can fix the problem by putting your cash into Bitcoin. Conservative bitcoin growth is estimated at 20% per year; consequently, the yearly income will surpass the company value.
