Yeah, nothing new about a permissionless digital-signature-secured decentralized currency being rapidly monetized in an age of global stagnation and quantitative easing / printing money.

So you can use this for what? Btw, I don't think you know what quantitative easing is. Explain to me why the value of USD remained strong all throughout the period of supposed money printing.
Because it hasn't fallen yet. It will. The Federal Reserve is insolvent. As the dollar falls from global usage, it can't buy all the real assets necessary to stabilize the dollar using printed money that no one wants.
Quantitative easing is not money printing, and the Federal Reserve pays about 100 billion dollars in profit annually to the US Treasury.
What can you use Bitcoin for? What year are you from, 2012?
I have never heard a coherent value proposition that justifies thinking of bitcoin as an asset.
