[Saturnalia @SaturnaliaWorld]

Good explaination.

[Dom Kwok | EasyA @dom_kwok]

it's the most misunderstood concept in crypto right now.

hardly anyone can explain it.

yet everyone's asking it.

"why are prices down despite so much bullish news?"

the truth is that crypto isn't trading on what the tech does today. it's trading on what the market hopes it might do tomorrow.

and the wild price swings we see today are merely the market trying to price the potential of the rails being built (ie speculation).

the real wealth will be made once real adoption arrives, and crypto becomes boring everyday tech.

so what does this mean?

to understand this concept, we need to travel back in time to 1999, the dot com boom.

back when adding ".com" to a business plan meant an instant billion dollar valuation. back when stocks traded on pure speculation about what the internet would become.

valuations had very little to do with real-world usage.

and when reality hit, the bubble burst. amazon crashed over 90%. nvidia plummeted 85%.

the headlines claimed the internet failed. but it didn't.

far from it - everything today runs on the internet.

so what happened?

the speculation phase was simply washed out to make room for the utility phase. amazon eventually reached a trillion-dollar valuation because it built useful, everyday tech on top of the newly laid digital rails (the exact kind of utility @easya_app is helping build today).

the real winners, like amazon, survived because they crossed the chasm from "speculative hype" to "everyday utility." (remember the s-curve from my previous post?).

crypto is in its 1999 era.

the market is pricing the idea of a decentralized network, not its daily reality.

and prices will continue to swing wildly on hype and speculation until blockchain tech reaches the point of mass adoption (ie people use it everyday, without even realising it).

but when this invisible tech finally does underpin the multi-trillion dollar global financial system?

you better lock in.

because by then you'll be kicking yourself for not having seen it coming.

[Saturnalia @SaturnaliaWorld]

Good response.

[Kal M @kalmworld]

@dom_kwok lol or it’s because interest rates are high…. But yes the utility usage stories will be timed to come out when the interest rates go down and crypto pricing readjusts due to rates coming down

[Saturnalia @SaturnaliaWorld]

Not so good response.

[Dom Kwok | EasyA @dom_kwok]

@kalmworld why so pessimistic?

[Saturnalia @SaturnaliaWorld]

Even better response.

[Kal M @kalmworld]

Why such a generic, lack of detailed, emotional response? All of you twitter accounts blame price suppression and think the big guy is screwing the little guy over. Facts are interest rates went up and you can see crypto prices are copying the exact same chart decline from when interest rates went up in 2022.

@MadelonVos__ Daarnaast, waarom nog sparen op je rekening als dat ook belast wordt boven een bepaald bedrag.. alles tot x bedrag op de rekening en de rest wellicht weer onder het matras? Willen we dat wel?

[Saturnalia @SaturnaliaWorld]

@MadelonVos__ De koekjes in de pot belasten tot er alleen maar kruimels overblijven is onverstandig.

Wie gaat de belasting dragen als velen verkassen naar het buitenland?

Kijkend naar #miljoenenjacht loop ik naar de keuken waar de gong van onze deurbel is, vlak voordat we winston op tv in een straat zien lopen. Ik druk op het knopje van de gong, ringtone van de deur gaat af. Hart in de keel van me vriendin, om zich te realiseren dat het niet onze voordeur was. Ze praat niet meer met me😂

It’s funny how a proposal like that can quickly become law, yet "Kok’s surcharge" remains tacked onto fuel prices. Or other laws that serve the state rather than the ordinary person. It seems—and I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist—as if there are double standards at play.

Border controls seem "unfeasible" all year round, yet suddenly become possible when fireworks need to be checked.

And speaking of fireworks: the plan was initially to phase them out by 2030 so that business owners wouldn't lose their investments, yet the ban is now set for 2026.

If the government could tax masturbation, you’d be getting screwed twice over!

I always say: with the Left, you get screwed, but they use Vaseline so it feels good; the Right claims they use a condom, so you’re left with nothing to show for it (financially).

Anyone figured out the playbook yet? Scare everyone about AI. Call your buddies @CNBC and ask them to put your toadie on to scare them further. Tell Gary you’ll put him in as a regulator to go after AI once you regain power. Same playbook they used on crypto. Next up AI and prediction markets.

@tibet_sar @stierdetector @AFCAjax “The fact” you are still clinging on got settled by both parties. Therefore no rules are violated. Try harder.

[Saturnalia @SaturnaliaWorld]

@digitalassetbuy I can not remember this much of explaination by the democrats why they voted no. They know exactly what they did and what consequences it might have on their career. If its not the USA, we in the European Union will do it for you. I rather see the USA do it, o well…

@PharaohX33 Congrats! ❤️ hopefully it went all good and smooth. Take care of your wife as she needs it more than ever at this moment.

[Stephanie Starr @StephanieStarrC]

@schnell_sc @BENNYL297485 I figured if he filed a motion to have an hour break to negotiate and debate that they would come back and vote afterwards, but apparently that's not the case. They could come back tonight and vote they can come back tomorrow and vote.

🇺🇸 Elizabeth Warren’s message to Congress:

Don’t pass the crypto bill that could benefit Trump’s crypto empire.

Pass my bill the Ending Presidential Corruption in Banking Act.
