Amid the market noise today, there is signal.
Please meet my new project, @defidevcorp. It’s a public crypto company with a new strategy going live today. I like to think of it as Microstrategy For Everything Else… and we’re starting with Solana.
It’s a team run by Kraken alums like @0xinliberty and @TheOtherParker_ and Kraken backed us financially. We’re keeping the squad together.
@PanteraCapital , @Arrington_Cap and @ProtagonistXYZ got an early look as well and seeded us with over $40 million.
We launched today and we’ve tripped Nasdaq’s circuit breaker twenty-three (23) times already. So far so good.

The best thing about USG acquiring a strategic bitcoin reserve is that it will now learn the concept of opportunity cost.
Dollars have an opportunity cost of ~0 since USG can print them on demand, so everyone in USG has for decades learned to never worry about costs, and never have to make trade-offs. That's why USG spends trillions of dollars every year on horrific things.
But there are only 21 million bitcoin, nobody can make more, and everything you spend comes at the cost of more bitcoin. Once you start calculating the opportunity cost in terms of bitcoin forgone, and the appreciation of the market value of these bitcoin, the vast majority of USG spending begins to look really stupid.
Most bitcoiners can tell you many stories about how finding bitcoin has helped them eliminate all kind of frivolous and wasteful spending. Now apply that to USG, and you could conservatively estimate that 90% of its spending would not pass the bitcoin opportunity cost test. Everything will be weighed against bitcoin and almost all of it will be found wanting.
Most bitcoiners imagined that bitcoin would destroy the value of the dollar and bankrupt USG. But if bitcoin merely teaches USG to spend responsibly, that on its own could go a very long way toward eliminating most of its evils.
Truly, bitcoin fixes everything.
A non-governmental organization, an NGO, that relies on government funding is by definition, not an NGO. Rather, it is a subterfuge for the then leadership/controlling party of the government to effect change that it desires without the disclosures and approvals required if it attempted the change directly.
For all of the obvious reasons, this needs to stop now.

In a new interview, Michael @Saylor was asked the question by a member of the audience, “Bitcoin reminds me of tulips. What if Bitcoin disappeared tomorrow? How many lives would actually change?”
Listen to Michael’s response 👇
I have not seen a single initiative by rightsholders, taking a proactive stance with significant funds behind (!) to tackle this evident wave of disruption appropriately. Please, comment or post here, if I am wrong.
Our Music and Entertainment Industries should be more aware. Do not make the mistake that somebody will come up with a saving solution for you. AI will just become a huge Black Hole. Invest , Innovate and Regulate yourself. Fast.

@PeterSchiff@saylor You are leveraging the "misallocation" of capital to your own benefits, since your social media strategy is based on these comments. BTC is your host just to show its immutability. That is truly noble tech.
Agreed on the undervaluation. However, US vs. Amsterdam is less the issue than market structure. @umg has the leverage needed to drive that change for exponential growth. Why not finally starting to get bold on the business side again?

Music Industry CEOs control neither the capital or political markets, nor the consumer-facing economics. The result is a constant decline in music asset value per unit. Any Music Artist needs to store their own assets value to escape that vicious circle quickly. I recommend to start here, by reading the "Bitcoin Standard" by @saifedean@GBBCouncil@saylor@BillAckman
