Bitcoin is Demonetizing Other Asset Classes

As Bitcoin matures into a globally recognized store of value, it's starting to absorb monetary premiums from traditional asset classes. Real estate, gold, bonds—even equities—are being re-evaluated as capital no longer needs to hide in inefficient or inflation-prone instruments. This session explores how Bitcoin is gradually demonetizing other assets, reshaping portfolio theory, and forcing both institutional and retail investors to rethink capital allocation in a Bitcoin standard world.
