Imagine winning a national championship with your boys in college and then getting together to win an NBA championship a few years later.
Just an insane story for the Nova Knicks
@parkeralewis@kanemcgukin@BTCPrague If you're at @BTCPrague and you hear any one from Zaprite talk, just repeat this line in your head "they are trying to get me to buy their company and not bitcoin" and everything will make more sense.
“If all it takes to kill bitcoin is a bullish entity that likes it enough to buy, then go home.”
It’s time for the haters to accept that MSTR is not a problem for bitcoin:native
My bullish/bearish take on bitcoin is that we shouldn’t blame any entity for buying too much of it, because if bitcoin can be killed by an entity buying it, then it wasn’t meant to be.
If all it takes to kill bitcoin is a bullish entity that likes it enough to buy, then go home.
The absurdity of blaming Saylor.
He’s been the single most consistent and ardent buyer in the market for years.
I shudder to think what Bitcoin price would be right now without him.
You should be thanking him.
“Bitcoin can’t touch capital markets because custodians are risky.”
Okay. So the plan is to leave 640 million retirees funding sovereign debt instead?
Income-seeking capital exists.
If we cannot orange pill these 640 million boomers by next Tuesday, it will either fund governments, banks, fiat corporations, or Bitcoin-native balance sheets.
The idealists are unserious.
Bitcoin wins through pragmatism.
But but but - BITCOIN… *IS*… MONEY.
You’ve never had such money before. 🤯
Why re-create another fiat derivative as *money* (MoE) on top of the *real* money (bitcoin), to use *as* money?? when it already exists?? https://t.co/lcCfQuRpeR
Imagine you're in 1995 and someone shows you the internet. Early websites, dial-up, the whole nine yards.
You wait four minutes for a JPEG to load.
Halfway through loading, it disconnects.
You think "this is stupid, this will never work, I'm going back to the Yellow Pages."
That person lost the century.
Bitcoin's short-term price is set by the most emotional participants in the most leveraged 24/7 market in human history.
Futures traders, retail tourists, ETF arbitrageurs, guys who got tipped off on Reddit... these are the people setting the price on any given Tuesday. They are not the story.
The story is that banks are building custody infrastructure.
Governments are discussing strategic reserves in official policy documents.
Accounting standards got reformed.
Advisors can now put Bitcoin in client portfolios through their existing platforms without calling their compliance department and causing a medical event.
The people who called the internet dead in 1996 were technically correct about AOL's stock price and completely wrong about everything that mattered.
The marginal seller is loud and the structural integrators are quiet.
History belongs to the quiet ones.
