Gradually, Then Suddenly: Why Bitcoin Fixes Money 💡 | Book Summary

This video summarizes Parker A. Lewis’s Gradually, Then Suddenly: A Framework for Understanding Bitcoin as Money. The book presents Bitcoin as a superior monetary system created to fix the flaws of fiat currencies. With the 2008 financial crisis and endless money printing as a backdrop, Lewis argues that Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million units makes it the ultimate store of value.

Structured around essays written between 2019–2020, the book explains Bitcoin’s core principles, clears up common misconceptions, and contrasts it with the US dollar. Lewis introduces the idea of a “Great Definancialization” — a shift away from speculative investing toward true saving, powered by Bitcoin’s sound money properties.

Rather than hype, the essays rely on reason and logic to help readers understand Bitcoin’s role as the future of money.
