Former Wall Street options trader Scott (@DarkSide2030_) explains his "Big Long" thesis - how Bitcoin's unique properties as a digital bearer asset will trigger an unprecedented derivatives crisis. Unlike gold or traditional assets, Bitcoin can be verified on-chain and taken into self-custody within hours, creating impossible dynamics for Wall Street's rehypothecation schemes. As institutions adopt Bitcoin and derivatives markets expand, the system faces a liquidity crunch when investors flee to self-custody during the next financial crisis. This feedback loop could cause systemic collapse as banks struggle with counterparty risk while Bitcoin becomes increasingly scarce and unavailable for borrowing.
