@Leo_Traydes Lots of miners, many have pivoted to data centers/AI but $RIOT, $MARA, and $CIFR to name a few. Then there is all the Web3 companies that are drying up but should make a comeback eventually.
If Bitcoin is worthless, then send me one.
A classic challenge to those who don’t understand Bitcoin.
But it goes deeper.
Bitcoin is the first money in 5,000 years that exists purely as knowledge. Nothing else comes close.
Money isn’t a rock you can hold. It never was.
Money is a social construct. A shared hallucination we agree on. But Bitcoin is the first money in history that exists entirely as cryptographic knowledge.
You don’t store Bitcoin. You know it.
Ownership isn’t physical custody. It’s possession of a private key.
I can write 12 words on paper, bury it in the desert, destroy every device, disappear for a decade, and the Bitcoin is still mine.
Not because it’s stored somewhere.
Not because a server tracks it.
Not because a bank vouches for me.
Because I know the key. That’s the entire model.
No counterparty. No permission. No trust.
The network doesn’t hold my coins. Miners don’t custody them. Nodes don’t approve ownership.
Math alone verifies control.
To spend, I broadcast a signed transaction.
To hold, I depend on no one.
Gold is bearer money. You can bury it and it’s yours.
But it has limits:
• Hard to move
• Hard to divide
• Hard to verify
Bitcoin keeps gold’s bearer nature and adds superpowers:
• Instant global transfer
• Perfect divisibility
• Cryptographic authenticity
Gold is analog bearer money. Bitcoin is digital bearer money. Fiat is the opposite.
You can’t truly possess dollars without banks, central banks, and payment rails. Even cash is a liability dependent on policy and trust.
Fiat is a claim.
Bitcoin is proof.
Bitcoin isn’t a database entry assigned to you.
It’s a scarce cryptographic artifact secured by proof-of-work.
Back to the challenge: If Bitcoin is worthless, send me one.
To do that, you must:
• Control a private key
• Sign a real transaction
• Broadcast it globally
• Have miners burn energy to confirm it
You can’t fake this. You can’t shortcut it. You must trade, sell, or work to earn Bitcoin.
Stop thinking of Bitcoin as something you store.
Start thinking of it as knowledge you possess.
• A seed phrase is pure information
• That information grants control over scarce units
• No one can debase, freeze, or dilute it
This is why Bitcoin is sovereign money.
Gold required physical custody. Fiat required institutional trust.
The real question isn’t whether Bitcoin is real money. It’s how long you’ll keep holding inferior versions.
8/8: Risks: Counter-coup, sabotage, Russia blocking assets. But base case = fast rehab. Markets underprice speed.
Bottom line: This is the Western Hemisphere’s biggest energy reset in decades. Heavy oil bearish, Venezuela beta bullish trades?

🧵1/10: 🚨 Venezuela JUST flipped. US op extracted Maduro (“Nicholas Monroe”) & his key partner in 72hrs. Regime over. World’s biggest oil reserves (303B barrels) unlocking FAST. This is a massive commodity shock & investment pivot. Alpha incoming. #Venezuela#Oil#Investing
