"Bitcoin isn't backed by anything."
Let me stop you right there.

Bitcoin is backed by energy. Real energy. Kilowatts. Heat. Physics.
The kind of backing you can't print, fake, or vote into existence at an emergency Fed meeting.

Every block mined is a thermodynamic proof of work. Not a promise. Not a policy. Proof.

The issuance schedule has never been amended by a committee. Not once. Not ever. Because there is no committee.
There's just math. Cold, indifferent, and immune to political theater.

The network is secured by more raw computing power than anything humanity has ever built. Hundreds of exahashes per second standing guard. Every single day.

Now let's talk about what is backed by nothing.
The dollar.

It's is backed by confidence. Specifically, confidence in the institution that printed $6 trillion in two years while telling you 3% inflation was healthy and you should be grateful for the soft landing.

In the same people who can't pass an audit.
Who fund wars with a credit card.
Who promise solvency while sitting on $39 trillion in debt and accelerating.

"Backed by nothing" isn't an attack on Bitcoin.
It's a confession about the dollar.

Follow if you're serious about building wealth they can't print away.

LATEST: More than half of all $BTC in circulation is now held at an unrealized loss, a signal that has coincided with every major bear market bottom in history.

[Ripple @Ripple]

$RLUSD is institutional-grade infrastructure for payments and tokenization.

Through @wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT), $RLUSD can now move natively across multiple blockchain ecosystems, supporting cross-border payments, institutional on/off-ramps, and tokenization use cases.

For developers and institutions building onchain, that expands access to compliant, USD-backed liquidity across supported networks.

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

Exactly 15 years ago today when Bitcoin was trading at $15, Hal Finney said:

"Every day that goes by and Bitcoin hasn't collapsed…increases the chance of Bitcoin's eventual success and justifies a higher price."

One day people will ask how you saw it coming. The answer will be simple: I paid attention.

When marginal Bitcoin holders sell to chase AI he sells his BTC. This sell off has nothing to do with fundamentals of those of us who have a business built around BTC.

patience feels difficult now.

it usually pays later.

[Alex 👽 @AlexesNakamoto]

People are overthinking the 32 BTC sale.

“Why sell?”
“Why not just buy less next week?”
“Is this bearish?”

Michael @saylor already explained the logic:

• If Bitcoin can’t be sold, critics say it has no value.
• If it has no value, the balance sheet value is zero.
• If the balance sheet value is zero, credit rating agencies ignore it.
• So you sell a tiny appreciated portion to prove Bitcoin is liquid, valuable, and real.
