Amid the volatility of the cryptocurrency market, one question persists: “Is Bitcoin just a passing trend — or is it the real future?” In TechCut EP.7, Bee - Peeranat Thoonsaengngam from Muze and Moo - Nattavudh Pungcharoenpong decode this question through a technologist’s lens — examining why this digital asset has proven remarkably resilient and remains compelling over the long term.
1. The Mechanism “Programmed” to Beat Inflation
One of Bitcoin’s defining properties — what separates it from the fiat currencies we use every day — is a scarcity that is enforced by computer code that no one can change.
Limited Supply: Bitcoin is hard-capped at 21 million coins globally. Unlike the US dollar or Thai baht, no government can print more.
The Halving Phenomenon: Roughly every 4 years, an event called the “Halving” automatically cuts the number of newly mined Bitcoin in half. This mechanism creates a Supply Shock that drives long-term value according to the laws of Supply & Demand.
2. The Power of Decentralization: A System That Requires No Trust
As a software builder, Peeranat offers a compelling perspective: Bitcoin is a system that “cannot be hacked” — and is arguably more trustworthy than certain financial institutions.
Trustless System: We don’t need to trust any intermediary or individual. We trust the “mathematics” and “open source code” — transparent and verifiable by anyone.
Satoshi’s Legacy: Even Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, cannot stop or shut this system down. Once the programme was set in motion, it will persist as long as the internet and computational power exist.
3. The Generational Shift (The Wealth Shift)
Part of why Bitcoin has a long future ahead comes down to a fundamental shift in consumer behaviour across generations.
Digital Native: Ask a young person today to choose between gold and crypto — they’re far more likely to understand and be comfortable holding a digital asset. It’s the same generational shift as moving from television to TikTok.
Opportunity Cost: In an era of significant inflation (where a comic book that cost 20 baht now costs 85 baht just a few years later), not holding an appreciating asset is itself becoming the greatest risk.
4. The Survival Strategy: DCA and Investment Discipline
Both Moo and Bee emphasise: even with a bright future, Bitcoin’s volatility is a given. For new investors, the recommended strategy is DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging).
The 4-Year Rule: Historical data suggests that anyone who has held Bitcoin through a full 4-year Halving cycle has never ended up at a loss — regardless of the price they paid.
Discipline Over Emotion: Investing a consistent amount at regular intervals averages your cost basis — picking up cheaper units during downturns without getting trapped at the peak during periods of market greed.
Closing Thoughts from Muze
At Muze, we see Blockchain and Bitcoin technology not as speculation, but as the new financial infrastructure of a world built on “transparency” and “efficiency.”
Our interest in Bitcoin didn’t start from an investor’s perspective — it started as Tech People wanting to understand a complex and powerful system. When we truly “understand” something, we can “believe” in it — and turn that knowledge into Solutions that help businesses stay ahead of the future.
