-- Discuss the following quote from the Fiat Standard
-
-    > While many
-	people would be tempted to exit fiat debt entirely and shift to holding hard
-	bitcoin savings, the continued existence and wide availability of fiat debt
-	will offer a strong incentive to borrow fiat and use it to accumulate bitcoin.
-	One of the smartest and most far-seeing analysts of bitcoin, Pierre
-	Rochard, had identified this phenomenon as early as 2013, outlining how
-	bitcoin allows investors worldwide to carry out a speculative attack on all
-	national currencies similar to what George Soros and beneficiaries of low
-	interest rate lending have been doing to weak national currencies for
-	decades, with spectacular success. The speculative attack strategy is to
-	borrow the weak currency, and use the proceeds to buy the stronger
-	currency. As the borrowing of the weak currency causes an increase in its
-	supply, selling it to buy the strong currency causes a decrease in demand
-	for it, and results in the decline of its value next to the stronger currency.
-	This reduces the value of the loan the attacker owes, and increases the
-	value of the currency he holds, a highly lucrative combination. With bitcoin
-	a harder currency than all national currencies, it could serve as the perfect
-	launchpad for attacks against national currencies. It is a natural evolution
-	of the interaction between the two forms of money: hard bitcoin is
-	optimized for appreciating as it is held, while fiat is optimized for devaluing
-	as it is inflated and lent. The likelihood of speculative attacks casts doubt
-	on the monetary upgrade scenario discussed above. How long can fiat
-	survive if people can keep inflating its supply by borrowing it to buy harder
-	bitcoin? We have never seen a similar situation and it is hard to estimate how this will unfold.

-- For episode 6: we got our altitude, now get ready to glide to our destination
-- Make a series on the planning behind Operation Saylor
-  - On why it makes sense to borrow in weak currency to buy strong assets
-  - On the simulation of it
-  - On why it's not such a big deal. People take crazy loans to buy houses, acquire cars and pay for weddings. 
-	Buying a hard asset is unlikely to "go to zero", and it's rather more probable to simply lose a small % of the 
-	total value.
-  - Show the simulation notebook
-- On orange pilling friends and family
-- Compare the decentralized nature of marijuana production and consumption

+- Introduce the exit value metric. (Episode 22)
+- Formalize the success measurement metrics: (Episode 23)
+  - Final exit value
+  - Time in positive exit value
+  - Percentage of positive exit value against DCA exit value
+  - Integral of exit value through trapezoidal rule for approximation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p0NHR5w0Lc)
+- Compare the success of Operation Saylor against Operation Pleb (DCA strategy) (Episode 24)
+- Simulate what would have happened (Episode 36)
