The Missing Piece: Why Most People Still Don’t Get Bitcoin
(and What Comes Next)
Crypto’s Most Influential Event
This May 5-7 in 2026, Consensus will bring the largest crypto conference in the Americas to Miami’s electric epicenter of finance, technology, and culture.
Celebrated as ‘The Super Bowl of Blockchain’, Consensus Miami will gather 20,000 industry leaders, investors, and executives from across finance, Web3, and AI for three days of market-moving intel, meaningful connections, and accelerated business growth.
Ready to invest in what’s next? Consensus is your best bet to unlock the future, get deals done, and party with purpose. You can’t afford to miss it.
Some ideas are too big to grasp without the right lens
Bitcoin is one of them. Tokenization will be the next.
Why Most People Miss It
Why Most People Miss It
Michael Saylor said it best:
“If you’re an engineer without knowledge in history or finance, something will be missing.
If you’re an economist without knowledge of physics or engineering, something will be missing too.”
Understanding Bitcoin - and what it unlocks - requires a multidisciplinary view.
I’ve realized that personally.
In hindsight, my education feels like a roadmap:
Economics taught me the game theory of markets
Finance and econometrics gave me the tools to measure value and volatility
History of Economics showed me the cycles of money, gold, inflation, and collapse linked to political decisions
Physics gave me the systems lens: energy, thermodynamics
All of that is now converging, like a puzzle coming together.
Because Bitcoin, tokenization, and the new on-chain economy aren’t just financial tools.
They’re systems. Monetary. Technical. Political. And deeply philosophical.
A Broken Financial System
Let me give you a stat that Michael Saylor shared:
📉 Only 4,000 companies are publicly traded in the US.
That’s 0.01% of 40 million businesses.
Let that sink in.
→ What if only 4’000 companies had bank accounts?
→ What if only 4’000 had access to the internet?
That would be considered a humanitarian crisis.
But when it comes to accessing capital, markets, and investors, this is today’s reality.
99.99% of businesses are shut out of capital markets.
Why Tokenization Matters
Here’s the opportunity:
Blockchain and tokenization let us flip that paradigm.
Instead of gatekeeping access to capital, we can open it to the 99.9%.
Instead of central exchanges, we use smart contracts.
Instead of relying on trust, we verify on-chain.
This is not hype. It’s overdue financial justice.
Imagine:
A family business in Morocco issuing a tokenized sukuk to finance new equipment
A real estate fund in Indonesia onboarding global Muslim investors via regulated RWAs
A zakat fund issuing verifiable impact reports using on-chain transfers
That’s the world we’re building.
But to build it, we need:
Sound money (Bitcoin)
A programmable settlement layer (Ethereum & L2s)
Shariah-compliant structures (wakala, mudarabah, sukuk)
Trustworthy screening and advisory (what we do at Swiss Islamic Finance)
We Are Early, But Not Too Early
Most people still don’t get Bitcoin.
They will miss tokenization too, until it’s too late.
That’s why we’re here.
To:
✅ Educate on first principles
✅ Screen halal projects and infrastructure
✅ Help investors enter early, ethically, and strategically
Final Word
What if the internet of money was already here, but most people weren’t invited?
Well, now they are.
And if you’re reading this, you’re part of the first wave of believers, not the last.
Let’s build a world where finance isn’t just strange, but on-chain, inclusive, and exponential.
