 See, that’s where I tend to differ with some bitcoiners. This might not land on what you’re saying but I’ll still share…

I think a lot of “profitable” media businesses on a fiat standard won’t be profitable on a bitcoin standard. Consumption won’t be as valuable. The media model developed for digital economy & streaming will implode under the weight of sound money.

Effectively with a much higher discount rate (I.e. price of money), future consumption won’t be as valuable AT ALL as it is today. The concept of brand value will change dramatically from what it has been since the 70s. The focus will be how much is someone willing to pay UP FRONT for quality.
