Let's go back to 2010 ⌚You have $100 💰, Pick 1 🚪behind door 1 = iPhone 📲 or door #2 = Bitcoin 🟠? I ask you, what would the world look like now ✌ Ryan Moeller Ⓜ️, #OPEN_TO_WORK Ryan Moeller Ⓜ️ Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Strategic Business Partner @Amazon (AWS) | Specialize in Driving Exponential Growth for $100M+ Companies July 15, 2025 A CFO's Perspective on New Ways of being, thinking and interacting. In 2010, the world was introduced to two revolutionary technologies: the iPhone 4 and Bitcoin. One transformed the way we communicate, work, and entertain ourselves, while the other promised to revolutionize finance and the global monetary system. But what if the world had embraced Bitcoin as a new standard of economic and monetary exchange instead of the iPhone as the focal point of our digital lives? What would today look like if instead of the iPhone revolutionizing communication, Bitcoin had been universally adopted as the global standard? Let’s explore the potential impact of a world where Bitcoin became the new backbone of society’s digital infrastructure, instead of Apple’s iconic smartphone. As businesses, we constantly face challenges related to inflation, currency debasement, and financial stability. Let’s take a moment to imagine what the world might look like if Bitcoin had been adopted globally back in 2010—and how that would have impacted our financial strategies today. 1. Dollar Debasement: The US dollar has lost significant value over the past decade due to inflation and government printing. From 2010 to 2023, the US dollar has lost over 25% of its purchasing power. For instance, $1 in 2010 is worth around $0.75 today due to inflation. Now, let's compare that with Bitcoin's growth: In 2010, 1 BTC = $0.10. Fast forward to 2023, and 1 BTC = ~$30,000. That's a 30,000x increase in value. If you had bought 1,000 BTC in 2010 for just $100, today, those 1,000 BTC would be worth $30 million. 2. Loss of Purchasing Power: While the US dollar has steadily lost purchasing power, Bitcoin has gained value, providing a store of value rather than losing it. Imagine holding your savings in Bitcoin instead of dollars. Today, you'd be able to buy 30,000 times more with your Bitcoin compared to holding the same amount in cash. 3. Impact on Global Financial Stability: Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins means it cannot be "inflated" like fiat currencies. If Bitcoin had been adopted in 2010, we’d likely have seen: More stable global currencies, since Bitcoin doesn’t rely on central banks or governments. Lower cross-border transaction fees, as Bitcoin could replace traditional international payment systems that charge high fees. Companies would have been able to hedge against inflation by holding Bitcoin in their reserves, instead of relying on cash that loses value over time. 4. Real-World Example: Cross-border Transactions: Companies paying international suppliers in Bitcoin would have saved on high bank fees and exchange rate costs, which average around 5-7% per transaction. Corporate Reserves: A company holding $1 million in Bitcoin in 2010 would now have $30 billion in reserves, compared to a company holding the same amount in dollars, which would now only have $750,000 due to inflation. Conclusion: If Bitcoin had been adopted back in 2010, it could have fundamentally reshaped the way we think about money, purchasing power, and financial stability. As CFOs, we might have seen a more secure, inflation-resistant financial environment with better opportunities to hedge against the debasement of fiat currencies. The simple math speaks for itself: $100 invested in Bitcoin in 2010 is now worth $30 million. Wouldn’t that be a game-changer for your balance sheet? #Bitcoin #CFO #Finance #Cryptocurrency #DollarDebasement #PurchasingPower #GlobalFinance This version simplifies the concepts while adding real-world math to make the impact of Bitcoin’s potential adoption in 2010 more tangible for CFOs and financial professionals.
