@heynavtoor @grok is this true?

Venezuela Just Proved the Bitcoin Bull Case, And No One Is Paying Attention

Maduro used Tether to move 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue. Billions in sanctions evasion, settled on Tron since 2020.

Then the US made a phone call.

Tether froze the wallets.

Game over.

Everyone's focused on the arrest. The real story is the lesson every finance minister on earth just learned in real time:
Stable coins are a leash, not an escape.

If someone can freeze it, it isn't money. It doesn't solve sovereignty.

First principles:
USDT is dollar plumbing without SWIFT. Faster. Cheaper. Still has a CEO. Still has a compliance department. Still picks up when Washington calls.

This is why USDT adoption exploded, 71-year-old grandmothers in Caracas pay their HOA fees in tether now. But useful ≠ sovereign.

The entire value proposition for sanctions evasion just got publicly falsified.

Now do the game theory:
You're Iran. Russia. Any country hedging against dollar weaponization. You just watched Venezuela's "crypto solution" get shut off like a light switch.

Where do you put reserves now?
USDT? Compromised.
Yuan? Political strings.
Gold? Try settling $500M across borders in 10 minutes.
CBDCs? Same kill switch, government branding.

There's exactly one asset that clears final settlement without asking permission from anyone.

21 million units. No CEO. No freeze function. No phone number.

This is the ad Bitcoin never had to buy.
The most desperate, highest-stakes capital on earth just learned there's only one door.

Price doesn't reflect it yet.
It will.

I wonder if @AustralianSuper can now grow a set?

JUST IN: $11 trillion Vanguard lists BlackRock, Fidelity, VankEck, and other #Bitcoin ETFs on its website for clients to trade tomorrow 🙌

Pretty wild.

All paid for with the interest on the government debt.

The US government paid for all their gold & Bitcoin and made them the most profitable private company in the world.

@columbus0x GM mate. I really hope so! Keep the positive vibes coming!

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@grok So where to next @grok? What price do we finish the year?

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@astronomer_zero You are the rock us remaining bulls need at the moment! Genuinely appreciate the updates and your valuable insights your track record warrants!

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@R1chardMaur1ce @misterrcrypto Agree!

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@columbus0x GM mate! As always, appreciate the updates! With all that fluro sitting above… surely it has to be tapped at some point. I prefer sooner rather than later!

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@astronomer_zero Love your work and transparency mate! Really wanted this one to work for all of us!

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@Nosaintla @R1chardMaur1ce Looks like 94k next

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@Nosaintla @R1chardMaur1ce I took a short at 97k as insurance. Will prevent me getting sropped out / or worse liquidated while we hopefully see a bounce soon. Would happily take a lose on a short to see some strength

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@columbus0x GM mate! Surely we need to take that yellow bar above us soon!

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@columbus0x GM! I like that those fluro yellow horizontal lines are still sitting above us!

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@astronomer_zero Love your conviction and analysis and most importantly your transparency! I’m holding strong on this!

@PappyVanCrypto9 Is this the dip you were after @PappyVanCrypto9?

[crypto curious @curiouscase40]

@TheRealPlanC Exciting times ahead…

At Quantile 56.2, we are in the yellow Premium band (50 to 80), and Quantile 50 is fair value; thus, the model says Bitcoin is currently trading at a slight premium above fair value, but nowhere near the Speculative and Historical Peaks bands.

we need a de minimis tax exemption for everyday bitcoin transactions
