Why does the world need #Bitcoin?

GPT-4: While it's a matter of perspective whether the world "needs" Bitcoin, there are several reasons why Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have gained popularity and are seen as valuable by many people:

1. Decentralization: Bitcoin operates on a decentralized network, meaning that no single entity, such as a government or financial institution, can control it. This decentralization can provide more freedom, autonomy, and resistance to censorship or manipulation.

2. Financial inclusion: Bitcoin can provide access to financial services for individuals who are unbanked or underbanked, particularly in regions where traditional banking infrastructure is limited or unavailable. With a smartphone and internet access, anyone can use Bitcoin for transactions, remittances, and storing value.

3. Lower transaction fees: Bitcoin transactions can have lower fees compared to traditional financial services, especially for cross-border transactions. This can benefit both consumers and businesses by reducing costs associated with international transfers.

4. Transparency and security: Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public, tamper-resistant ledger called the blockchain. This provides transparency and security, as transactions can be easily verified and traced, reducing the risk of fraud and corruption.

5. Limited supply and inflation resistance: Bitcoin has a capped supply of 21 million coins, making it a deflationary currency. This limit reduces the risk of inflation, which can erode the purchasing power of traditional currencies over time.

6. Privacy: While not fully anonymous, Bitcoin offers a greater degree of privacy compared to traditional financial transactions, as transactions are only linked to a public address rather than personal information.

7. Investment and diversification: Many people view Bitcoin as a valuable investment and a way to diversify their financial portfolios. As a digital asset, Bitcoin has shown the potential for significant growth in value over time, although it's essential to note that it also carries risks and volatility.

8. Programmable money: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies enable programmable money through smart contracts, which can automate and streamline various financial processes and transactions, leading to increased efficiency and new business models.

It's important to note that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies also have their drawbacks, such as volatility, scalability issues, and energy consumption. The perceived need for Bitcoin can vary depending on individual perspectives, financial situations, and regional circumstances.

I need your honest reply. If I send you 500K, what will you buy RIGHT NOW?

ETH at $1670

XRP at $1.13

SOL at $66

ADA at $0.16

SUI at $0.7

TAO at $198

LINK at $7.6

LTC at $44

[Ripple @Ripple]

$RLUSD is institutional-grade infrastructure for payments and tokenization.

Through @wormhole’s Native Token Transfers (NTT), $RLUSD can now move natively across multiple blockchain ecosystems, supporting cross-border payments, institutional on/off-ramps, and tokenization use cases.

For developers and institutions building onchain, that expands access to compliant, USD-backed liquidity across supported networks.

Welcome to 2026! Milady is back.

Ethereum did a lot in 2025: gas limits increased, blob count increased, node software quality improved, zkEVMs blasted through their performance milestones, and with zkEVMs and PeerDAS ethereum made its largest step toward being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of blockchain (more on this later)

But we have a challenge: Ethereum needs to do more to meet its own stated goals. Not the quest of "winning the next meta" regardless of whether it's tokenized dollars or political memecoins, not arbitrarily convincing people to help us fill up blockspace to make ETH ultrasound again, but the mission:

To build the world computer that serves as a central infrastructure piece of a more free and open internet.

We're building decentralized applications. Applications that run without fraud, censorship or third-party interference. Applications that pass the walkaway test: they keep running even if the original developers disappear. Applications where if you're a user, you don't even notice if Cloudflare goes down - or even if all of Cloudflare gets hacked by North Korea. Applications whose stability transcends the rise and fall of companies, ideologies and political parties. And applications that protect your privacy. All this - for finance, and also for identity, governance and whatever other civilizational infrastructure people want to build.

These properties sound radical, but we must remember that a generation ago any wallet, kitchen appliance, book or car would fulfill every single one of them. Today, all of the above are by default becoming subscription services, consigning you to permanent dependence on some centralized overlord.

Ethereum is the rebellion against this.

To achieve this, it needs to be (i) usable, and usable at scale, and (ii) actually decentralized. This needs to happen at both (a) the blockchain layer, including the software we use to run and talk to the blockchain, and (b) the application layer. All of these pieces must be improved - they are already being improved, but they must be improved more.

Fortunately, we have powerful tools on our side - but we need to apply them, and we will.

Wishing everyone an exciting 2026.

Milady.

Buy bitcoin near the 200-week moving average.

Don't overthink it.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

People still think (or feel) because Bitcoin is down crypto is down.

Derivatives/perps, stablecoins, prediction markets, etc are all up in crypto.

Crypto touches every area of finance, and is much broader than Bitcoin now. It will take some time for this to sink in.

(And yes - Bitcoin is going to do great and is as important as ever - one of many cycles we've all been through.)

[Ted @TedPillows]

Stocks are dumping.
Gold is dumping.
Silver is dumping.
Crypto is dumping.
Bonds are dumping.
Even Oil is dumping.

If everything is dumping, where the hell is money going?

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

Four ideologies shape the Bitcoin community. Maximalists bring conviction. Capitalists bring integration. Technologists bring innovation. Fundamentalists bring preservation. Bitcoin reaches its full potential when these four forces work in harmony.

If you're still in crypto you must be very loyal in relationships

Capital markets are funding the AI buildout at historic scale: ~$400B over 6 months. Bitcoin ETFs have seen ~$4B of outflows since May 14, pressuring $BTC. This is a capital rotation, not a Bitcoin impairment. Volatility creates opportunity.

[RYAN SΞAN ADAMS - rsa.eth 🦄 @RyanSAdams]

The Ethereum not ETH stuff is the mental fallacy that triggered me into writing and podcasting in the first place.

There is no strong Ethereum without an ETH worth trillions. Without ETH as a global store of value, Ethereum is a failed project. Full stop.

ETH is economic bandwidth for DeFi. It is the only asset maximized for CROPs, fail at high value ETH, fail at CROPs, fail at Ethereum.

Saying you’re bullish Ethereum not ETH is like saying you’re bullish America not the American economy. They are one and the same - economic engines.

Better to admit Ethereum is a failed project than “Ethereum not ETH”.

So spew that weak blockchain not crypto stuff out of your mouth, it doesn’t make sense for BTC, ZEC, ETH, or any truly crypto native project.

[DonAlt @DonAlt]

Why is crypto not going up while everything is?

Because a large majority of you cunts spent the last cycle promoting garbage negative sum meme coins to newcomers
Now those people hate crypto and your meme coin is worth zero regardless while some scamming cunt drives a new lambo

[Beamable Network @BeamableNetwork]

You can be an ETH bull.
You can be an AVAX bull.
You can be a SOL bull.

But if you think web3 gaming is inevitable, you’re a Beama-bull.

$BMNR will issue $300 million in preferred shares. Borrowing a page from @Saylor's Ponzi playbook, @fundstrat will offer a 9.5% yield to raise money to buy more Ethereum. But with $MSTR's preferred yielding over 12%, and $ETH tanking, this offering will blow up on the lauch pad.
