An OG with 50k coins will have more power than most countries do now.
~150 of them will have half the world's wealth.
By far the most people will not have any money at all.
Bitcoin will bring about a new feudal technocracy.
But first, complete chaos.

That very well may be, but how exactly would you exert that wealth without spending precious bitcoin and thereby, reducing your bitcoin stash?
Bitcoin lending? Why would some lend a deflationary asset? Borrowing cash against your btc stash? That can turn ugly at 80% drawdown.
Bitcoin interest-a ridiculous idea that is not even practical without someone rehypothicating bitcoin, which should be a bad habit.
I am close to 100% certain that blockFi will kick the bucket at one point or another.

You could do lending  crypto to crypto with a smart contract with assets put on the line as collateral but of course this would need to be all cleared by the government as binding before anyone would risk it.

Yes, my point is that you cannot do anything without spending or somehow lending it out, so OGs will have difficulty influencing much, unless some secondary markets develop.

They could buy stock in Volkswagen as they own Lamborghini and that shits going to spike. That might be a safe bet actually 😉

LOL..so that 2008 superspike in Volkswagen stock was maybe a premonition of things to come? JK

bitcoin was the second time in my life that i tried to invest in something. first time was ... well... the dotcom bubble. i had $10k to invest, went to my bank and told i want to invest in tech companies. my banker gave me a list of stocks he would recommend. i invested $9k in internet stocks and told him i want to put $1k in something as far away from internet stocks as possible. he did not like that idea and tried to talk me out of it. i insisted and picked volkswagen. wasn´t a hot stock at that time, the banker shook his head.
a few days later the dot com bubble bursts and within just a few days my portfolio went down from $10k to $1k (the VW shares did not move a bit), all tech stock i had was worth only pennies. i bought the very very top of a multiyear bubble. man, i got so mad. i swore to myself i would fucking hold that those vw shares until they 10folded, so i would come out clean.   everyone told me it was a stupid idea because stocks of car companies never 10fold. 8 years later (!) the vw shares made a sudden 10fold and i sold right away. the banker never looked into my eyes again and i had learned a big lesson.
when i bought my first bitcoin it again was at the very top of a bubble. bitcoin started a 90% nose dive one day after i bought.
i still own the dot com bubble stock. still worth only pennies. in harsh contrast to the btc i bought.

What a cool story, thanks...
I first made quite well on internet stocks (being an investment newbie back then), then lost almost EVERYTHING, apart from money I cashed out during 1997-2001 on family expenses and a house downpayment. Had to rebuild my stocks back from a low number, mostly in retirement accounts, but, hey, I got a house out of it back then.
The propensity for "risky" bets reared it's head again with btc, lol.

His other scenarios (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4919568.msg51061990#msg51061990) are quite reasonable, but the one above is a bit hard to believe even as a possibility.
Albeit, who knows.

JP Morgan is telling people that the trade war between the US and China could boost safe haven currencies.

Bitcoin is the best safe haven currency in the world.

Nervous about global chaos??

Buy the strongest non-sovereign currency.

For those who didn't read this or visit the discussion thread, this is one of the scenarios posited by Anonymint (Shelby) - that BTC will reach $78,664 within a week or so, followed by a crash to $1,700.

Man, I just cannot get into the hard wallets..

a. the best and brightest individuals design these devices
b. man is flawed and ALWAYS looking to benefit for himself.  we are not "hive" minded by default.

a + b = untrustable deliverables.   I just do not think there is any way you can be 100% assured that the device will not send your private information on to another device or the "network" at its earliest opportunity.   I have just seen too many con jobs from too many "trusted" and "honest" folk.

Note:  I have seen easter eggs make it into software that was peer reviewed and verified.   You would have to work hard to convince me to put my savings on an electronic device.     I know.. I purchase crypto with the internet and PC wallets... but I get my stuff to paper the first chance I get.   I find the challenges of keeping paper from flood and fire much less stressful than the alternatives.
