@Goldmatters_ Less reward for people means frustration, but this minting reduction is necessary to protect value, people prefer short term reward instead of long terme value sadly
The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is a massive win for mankind.
The average person has no clue how much the existing fiat system has stolen from them.
While they save their hard-earned Dollars/Euros/Yen in their bank account, their leaders simply create more currency out of thin air.
Make no mistake: This is theft.
And Bitcoin fixes it.
Bitcoin is the first FINITE asset that can be easily bought or sold 24/7 by anyone, anywhere.
You don't need to be a hedge fund manager or investment strategist to understand it.
You just need to use it as a long term savings account.
Individuals who have steadily acquired Bitcoin with a long-term mindset have watched their purchasing power and quality of life dramatically increase.
The only cost has been volatility.
But the United States officially designating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, and signaling the intent to acquire more, has the potential to remove some of the most violent downside volatility associated with BTC over the long run.
Serious buying will need to come with congressional consent...
But so much of the "risk" associated with buying Bitcoin has already disappeared over the past year or so.
And this is a great thing.
Humanity should feel confident that they can save their hard-earned money and watch their life reliably improve.
It's the only way to restore long-term hope at the individual level.
The peace of mind that comes from knowing your future is secure will unlock a new level of human flourishing that we haven't experienced in the recent fiat age.
The financial insecurity associated with the current fiat system will become a thing of the past.
And a Bitcoin standard will unlock the full benefit of technological progress for individuals, corporations, and nation states.
We are entering a new era.
One whose significance few understand, yet whose rewards will reach everyone.
It's a totally unpopular opinion right now...
But I do genuinely believe that we are still in for one of the biggest overall Crypto market rallies we've ever seen.
The markets work on balanced forces, just like nature.
The higher something pumps, the lower it dumps.
What goes up must come down, and so on.
The fact is that we ARE, and have been in a bull trend, for a quite a while now.
But thus far, we have mainly experienced soul crushing dumps for alts, with a few relief pumps.
The cycle can't complete without an opposing force.
Dominance cant just keep rising, eventually, it will crash.
Just like any other chart.
And the higher it goes, the bigger the crash will be.
It makes sense to me that the darkest period in the altcoin market would precede the best period.
What you have to think of is this.
Many big players of many different kinds are now involved in the industry.
It is FAR too easy for us to see this and think we're just going to valhalla.
As I always say, this game is anything but easy.
Before they truly take Crypto to the moon, they need to destroy as many of us as they can first.
They will do anything they can to ensure the normies like us stay poor and stay working.
The system is designed to keep us down.
And this is done by grinding away at the ETH and alt market...
They know we're all holding alts... no one trying to truly make it from nothing is holding BTC anymore.
So it makes sense to totally crush alts before eventually sending them.
And sending them harder than you've ever seen once everyone is out the game.
Institutions, governments and presidents haven't got involved at the top with it being all over.
These guys dont lose... they make the rules.
We lose, and they make it so.
Imo, this cycle cant end without the opposing force we are yet to see.
And right now, we are in the thick of the darkest part.
The best part comes next.
And even if it doesn't we make some good frens, right?
Hang in there chads.
You didn't come all this way to sell the likely last line of the bottom now.
