@elonmusk Main: price is higher than expected once fees are added, charging times are long compared to fueling, few seller locations nearby make viewing and support harder, and limited Supercharger/energy stations make long trips less practical.
Today, Bitcoin's market cap of ~$2T represents about 11% of gold's market cap of ~$18T.
Bitcoin is a better form of money. It has the decentralization and scarcity of gold, but better divisibility, portability, and (i think) even fungibility. It's relatively harder to tell if gold is pure, or contains some lead in the middle of the bar.
All this leads me to believe that any country with Gold reserves, should be holding at least 11% of that amount in Bitcoin reserves. And I believe in the next 5-10 years Bitcoin's market cap will likely surpass Gold. So these reserves should grow to exceed Gold.
If the US leads here with a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, I think many of the G20 will follow. Coinbase is available to help any country that wishes to do so. Get in touch.
📌 Some thoughts on $TRUMP and #MELANIA:
Why drop another coin when #TRUMP was killing it? And why does MELANIA’s coin feel so rushed?
1. Distract and protect: $MELANIA splits the focus. If $TRUMP tanks, the fallout isn’t as brutal.
2. Milk the hype: They’re squeezing every drop of $TRUMP’s frenzy before the buzz dies down.
3. Internal hedge: If one coin flops, the other catches the cash. It all stays in the family.
4. Build the brand: This isn’t just about Trump—it’s about the dynasty. This is power, not crypto.
5. Test loyalty: $MELANIA is a trial balloon to see just how deep the Trump fandom runs.
6. Deflect criticism: Two coins mean if one gets heat, they can pivot attention to the other.
7. Flood the market: They’re choking the space so no one else can breathe. It’s all Trump, all the time.
8. Normalize launches: They’re prepping you for the next move. Ivanka or Barron coin, anyone?
9. Spread the risk: If $TRUMP blows up, they’ll pivot to $MELANIA. Plan B locked and loaded.
10. Political play: This isn’t about crypto; it’s about power. The coins are just propaganda wrapped in blockchain.
In the end, this isn’t about coins or markets—it’s a power game, plain and simple.
$TRUMP and $MELANIA aren’t just crypto projects; they’re tools to stay relevant, harness loyalty, and position the Trump brand as a juggernaut in every space they touch.
If you see it as strategy, it’s genius. If you see it as an investment, it’s a circus. Your move.
The murderous dictatorships of Maduro and Chavez killed Venezuela’s oil industry decades ago. They’ve killed the Venezuelan economy with socialist policies, and they’ve taken freedom and democracy away from their people. This has to end. Today, I’m reintroducing my STOP MADURO Act to raise his reward for arrest to $100M. We must get this passed ASAP.
Aplausos para Cayetana que demolió en solo 2 minutos el verso del lenguaje inclusivo y el populismo. Subí el volumen y dale RT hasta que exploten las redes. 🔥👏🏻
Después de 6 días de brutal represión, creyeron que nos iban a callar, a parar o atemorizar… miren la respuesta.
Hoy, la presencia de que cada ciudadano en las calles de Venezuela demuestra la magnitud de la fuerza cívica que tenemos y la determinación de llegar hasta el final.
#GanóVzla
La decisión del pueblo SE RESPETA, eso significa cobrar.
El mundo y todos dentro de nuestro país deben reconocer que el presidente electo de Venezuela es Edmundo González Urrutia!!
