I had to fact check this video from @SenLummis, when she stated that gold certificates held by the Federal
Reserve are valued at 1970s price.
She is right, and it is nuts. I looked it up...
Gold certificates held by the U.S. Treasury are still valued at their 1973 statutory price of $42.22 per ounce, rather than the current market price of gold.
How Gold Certificates Are Valued in the U.S. Reserve:
- Fixed Price of $42.22/oz:The U.S. Treasury values its gold reserves based on a statutory price set in 1973 ($42.22 per troy ounce).
- This valuation remains unchanged despite the market price of gold being significantly higher (currently around $2,000+ per ounce).
Gold Held at Fort Knox and Other Depositories:
- The U.S. holds 261.5 million troy ounces of gold.
-At the outdated valuation ($42.22/oz), this gold reserve is reported as ~$11 billion on the Federal Reserve's balance sheet.
-If marked to current market value, the reserves would be worth over $500 billion.
Why Doesn’t the U.S. Update the Gold Price?
- The statutory price is a relic of the Bretton Woods system, which ended in 1971 when the U.S. fully transitioned off the gold standard.
- Adjusting the value would affect monetary policy, Treasury accounting, and international financial agreements.
Is #Bitcoin just another bubble? Unlike past bubbles that popped and disappeared like the tulip mania of the 1630s, Bitcoin keeps coming back stronger each time. In this video, @JoelBomgar explores why Bitcoin is NOT a bubble. 🚀
Why is #Bitcoin so addictive?
24/7 markets keep you hooked
Volatility fuels adrenaline
Ownership feels empowering
The 21M cap triggers FOMO
It’s a rebellion against the system
A ticket to freedom & wealth
Once you dive in, there���s no going back.
Bitcoin, not the S&P 500, is your new benchmark for investing. It’s the ultimate store of value. The sooner you understand this, the sooner you’ll preserve your wealth and time in the most effective way.
#BTC
As we enter the first year of institutional Bitcoin adoption, I review $MSTR capital markets strategy, shareholder value creation via operations, investments, and acquisitions, Nasdaq 100 and possible S&P 500 inclusion, $MSFT financial strategy, & more.
Bitcoin isn't afraid of Google's Willow chip.
In fact, Satoshi predicted the quantum computing threat 14 years ago.
While critics scream 'crypto apocalypse'...
Bitcoin developers are already quietly building quantum resistance.
Here's what everyone's missing 🧵:
JUST IN: 🇦🇺 Australian Pension fund giant AMP breaks barriers with a $27M #Bitcoin purchase, becoming the nation’s first major pension fund to adopt the asset. The institutional wave is here. 🌊 #BTC
$MSTR is joining the Nasdaq-100 ($QQQ), backed by the ultimate strategic reserve: #Bitcoin.
The question isn’t if we’ll surpass Microsoft’s market cap, it’s how fast.
#MSTR#BTC
So you have a quantum computer with 1 million physical qbits. Can you break Bitcoin?
1. There is a difficulty adjustment every 2,000 blocks. So even if you mined 99% of them in say an hour, the difficulty adjustment would kick in and slow you down to a screeching halt. The next 2,000 blocks would take you the same 2 weeks as it does today.
2. You think you can break ECDSA using shores algo? You need the public key. Which you can only get for an address that has a spent transaction but not for one with only an unspent UTXO. There is no algo for breaking an address that has never spent any Bitcoin. This is part of why Satoshi said never re-use addresses.
Today…
Jerome Powell: “It’s just like gold only it’s virtual. It’s digital. People are not using it as a form of payment or as a store of value. It’s highly volatile. It’s not a competitor for the dollar. It’s a competitor for gold.”
Vladimir Putin: “For example, Bitcoin, who can prohibit it? Nobody. Who can prohibit the use of other electronic means of payment? Nobody. Because these are new technologies and no matter what happens to the dollar, these tools will develop one way or another because everyone will strive to reduce costs and increase reliability.”
In November, $MSTR raised $13.5 billion and acquired 149,880 BTC for ~$90,231 with a BTC Yield of 38.7%, providing a net benefit of 97,500 BTC to our shareholders, or 3250 BTC per day. At ~$96K per BTC, that would equate to ~$9.4 billion for the month, or $312 million per day.
