Once you see inflation for what it is (fiat devaluation), you realise the design of it all. You recognise many who got wise before you. All other things aside, you're now financially enlightened. #Bitcoin

The Saylor clips from Prague are getting out of control 😅

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

$STRC and $MSTR shareholders have approved the amendment to move $STRC dividends from monthly to semi-monthly. Under the new cadence, the first record date is June 30 and the first payment date is July 15. Thank you to every shareholder who voted. https://t.co/3sIqqF3FCR

Buying @Strategy $MSTR right now is like getting $STRC for free!
WTF #Bitcoin #BTC @AdamBLiv

[IgnoranceWasBliss @getdjmac]

Every #Bitcoin holder for the past 5 years!
#Crypto like dragging deadweight.

@BTCsessions serious talk about $STRC $ASST derivatives crashing the market in the future.
It's hard to disprove hypotheticals. However, it's not clear to me how a fire sale on STRC or ASST would flow through to Strategy & Strive #Bitcoin #BTC stacks.

Bitcoin is better money than gold. It has superior monetary properties.

In fact, Bitcoin beats gold on 25 different dimensions.

1. Portability: Move billions across borders with 12 or 24 words. Gold needs guards, vaults, trucks, customs, and prayers.

2. Divisibility: Bitcoin divides into 100 million sats per BTC. Gold is awkward to divide, verify, and spend in small amounts.

3. Verifiability: Anyone can verify Bitcoin supply and ownership with a node. Gold requires assays, trust, and specialists.

4. Scarcity certainty: Bitcoin has a hard cap of 21 million. Gold supply expands with mining, new discoveries, and potentially asteroid mining.

5. Supply auditability: Bitcoin’s total supply is publicly auditable in real time. Nobody knows the exact amount of above-ground gold.

6. Settlement speed: Bitcoin can settle globally in minutes. Gold settlement is slow, expensive, and institution-heavy.

7. Custody sovereignty: Bitcoin can be self-custodied without a vault. Gold self-custody is physically dangerous and logistically annoying.

8. Confiscation resistance: Properly secured Bitcoin can cross borders invisibly. Gold is obvious, heavy, and historically confiscatable.

9. Storage cost: Bitcoin can be stored for near-zero physical cost. Gold requires vaulting, insurance, security, and transportation.

10. Transport cost: Bitcoin travels at the speed of information. Gold travels at the speed of armored logistics.

11. Programmability: Bitcoin can integrate with multisig, time locks, Lightning, smart custody setups, and financial infrastructure. Gold is inert metal.

12. Global liquidity: Bitcoin trades 24/7 globally. Gold markets still rely heavily on traditional financial rails and business-hour settlement layers.

13. Settlement finality: Bitcoin can provide direct bearer settlement without trusted intermediaries. Gold often settles through paper claims.

14. Resistance to counterfeit: Bitcoin units are mathematically validated. Gold can be plated, diluted, faked, or rehypothecated.

15. No trusted issuer: Bitcoin has no central issuer, board, treasury, or refinery bottleneck. Gold custody often depends on institutions.

16. Easier inheritance: Bitcoin can be structured with multisig and recovery planning. Gold inheritance is physical, messy, and theft-prone.

17. Collateral efficiency: Bitcoin is easier to pledge, move, audit, and financialize digitally. Gold collateral is slower and more custodial.

18. Transparency: Bitcoin’s monetary policy and ledger are open. Gold’s market is opaque, with hidden reserves, paper claims, and unclear leverage.

19. Censorship resistance: Bitcoin can be sent peer-to-peer globally. Gold needs physical handoff or trusted transport.

20. Energy-to-scarcity conversion: Bitcoin turns energy into digitally verifiable scarcity. Gold turns energy into heavy rocks guarded by men with sunglasses.

21. Monetary upgradeability: Bitcoin can absorb software improvements at the network edges. Gold cannot become more useful without wrapping it in trust-based systems.

22. Unit consistency: Every bitcoin is perfectly fungible at the protocol level. Gold varies by purity, form, assay, and bar history.

23. Lower friction: Bitcoin is easier to buy, sell, send, receive, verify, split, secure, and integrate into modern finance.

24. Digital-native compatibility: Bitcoin fits an internet economy. Gold belongs to a world of vault receipts, musty central bankers, and men named Klaus guarding basements.

25. Personal sovereignty: Bitcoin lets one person hold immense wealth directly. Gold makes you become your own medieval castle.

Seems the global ramifications of the war in Iran are, in fact, the reason for the war!

The pace of progress on the Stright of Hormuz is too slow.

A significant, global financial fallout will follow.

Whatever happens then, was the plan! #Bitcoin #BTC #cdnpoli #uspoli

@cryptofergani If you follow this guys investment advise, you've been his exit or entry liquidity, period! He couldn't care less about you.

People always ask what's the biggest risk associated with #Bitcoin
I now believe it's that not enough people will enter the protocol before price goes parabolic! #BTC

[IgnoranceWasBliss @getdjmac]

The role / message of today's informed #Bitcoin YouTuber or podcaster is taking on a necessary, far, more serious tone. @BTCsessions well done!

🚨WARNING: This interview will be the most important 8 minutes of your life.

If you can’t get to the end of this clip without understanding the value proposition of Bitcoin, you are a sheep living in the matrix.

The loudest dog whistle ever sounded. Do you believe this is a coincidence? No, this is the signal. If the powers were to simply say it, the disturbance would be too great. #Bitcoin #BTC

@saylor I'm genuinely interested. Will we ever be able to self custody #STRC? Is it technically possible #Bitcoin #BTC

[IgnoranceWasBliss @getdjmac]

That was fast! Thank you..

[IgnoranceWasBliss @getdjmac]

Who wouldn't love a #STRC counterpart with a two week, ex dividend date offset. #STRC.B ish #Bitcoin #BTC @saylor

WE MUST REFUTE FUD WITHIN HOURS OF IT COMING OUT

STRC = FUTURE OF FIXED INCOME
MSTR = FUTURE OF AMPLIFIED BITCOIN
BITCOIN = FUTURE OF CAPITAL

[IgnoranceWasBliss @getdjmac]

@AdamBLiv Ima call it. It's only a matter of time before we see @Strategy issue STRC.B with an ex dividend off set by 2 weeks.
@saylor @phongle ??

[IgnoranceWasBliss @getdjmac]

@CorySwan Strategy can deploy as much $STRC as they want, at, or above par, and never dilute the original promise $MSTR #Bitcoint
