Having your money stored in your head is something that no other commodity can beat

[Jack Mallers @jackmallers]

Bitcoin is a neutral, open-source public utility. Like fire, water, or the internet.

It is not a person. It is not an institution. It has no secrets.

Corrupt people do not get to rob humanity of our chance to fix the mess we inherited. Bitcoin is the solution, not the problem.

[Kenneth S Rogoff @krogoff]

Almost a decade ago I was the Harvard economist that said that bitcoin was more likely to be worth $100 than 100k. What did I miss? I was far too optimistic about the US coming to its senses about sensible cryptocurrency regulation; why would policymakers want to facilitate tax evasion and illegal activities? Second, I did not appreciate how Bitcoin would compete with fiat currencies to serve as the transactions medium of choice in the twenty-trillion dollar global underground economy. This demand puts a floor on its price, as I discuss at length in my new book Our Dollar, Your Problem. Third, I did not anticipate a situation where regulators, and especially the regulator in chief, would be able to brazenly hold hundreds of millions (if not billions) of dollars in cryptocurrencies seemingly without consequence given the blatant conflict of interest.

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down.

@SenateDems could learn something from that.

@zerohedge True.

That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

Bitcoin's next catalyst has arrived:

Simply put, institutional capital can no longer ignore the returns that Bitcoin is providing.

When an asset provides a return of 90% in one year, it can be ruled an "outlier."

However, when an asset provides a 90% CAGR for 13 years (Bitcoin), it can no longer be ignored.

Last month, we were invited to @Coinbase's annual State of Crypto Summit.

Even the "conservative" funds we talked to were allocating "1% of AUM" to Bitcoin.

And, the straw that broke the camel's back was the US Government's sudden adoption of crypto, largely supported by @Brian_Armstrong's battle with the SEC.

Currently, there is an estimated ~$31 trillion in institutional AUM in the US.

If just 1% of US institutional capital flows into Bitcoin, this could drive another ~$300B+ into the asset.

Factor in global institutional AUM and we could see $1 trillion+ flow into Bitcoin.

Bitcoin has simply become too big to ignore.

Everyone expects Yield Curve Control.

But Japan already tried YCC and look at what it got them.

A spectacular bond market implosion happening right in front of us.

Now every Japanese bank, pension fund, and insurance company that trusted the Bank of Japan is holding a massive bag of flaming excrement.

And so if this is the end result of YCC, why would any rational investor hold sovereign debt from severely indebted nations?

It's possible the music is stopping and we may be about to jump straight to the end, folks.

Central bank credibility is shattering in real time.

Scarce neutral reserve assets (Bitcoin and Gold) need to be repriced dramatically higher to reflect a world where investors suddenly realize en masse that sovereign debt is worthless without the backing of the biggest money printing the world has ever seen.

Global sovereign debt bubble burst and capital flight into Bitcoin.

It's no longer a prophecy. It's an observation.

MASSIVE BREAKING: NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS BECOME THE FIRST STATE IN THE NATION TO PASS A ‘STRATEGIC BITCOIN RESERVE’ BILL INTO LAW.

HISTORY HAD BEEN MADE.

WE DID IT.

America will be the Bitcoin superpower of the world.

Strategische Bitcoin Reserve

Was ist passiert? Was hat das zu bedeuten?

Vorsicht: Längerer Post.

Was ist passiert?

- Die Bitcoin-Reserve ist da.

- Lutnick SOLL sich Strategien überlegen, mehr BTC zu akkumulieren (neutral für Steuerzahler).

- BTC und Altcoins werden klar getrennt und unterschieden.

- Konfiszierte Altcoins werden vorerst gehalten (müssen aber nicht). KEINE weiteren Altcoins werden gekauft.

Rhetorik:

- BTC als digitales Gold in der EO anerkannt.

- BTC als „einzigartiger Wertspeicher, den man für sich nutzen muss“ anerkannt.

- Spieltheoretische Sprache im Text: „Bei 21 Millionen ergibt es Sinn, unter den ersten zu sein.“

Was bedeutet das?

Im Rahmen einer Executive Order geht es kaum besser!!

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass die Bundesstaaten jetzt auch ihre Bitcoin-Reserve anlegen, steigt enorm durch die EO.

Wenn die USA Millionen Bitcoin akkumulieren wollen, bräuchten sie den Senat und das House dafür.

Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Senat und House einem möglichen Kauf wie im Lummis-Vorschlag zustimmen, ist gesteigert, wenn mehrere Bundesstaaten schon eine Reserve haben.

(Weil beide Kammern von Mitgliedern der Staaten bestückt werden ;))

Diese Ankündigung ist der letzte Ritterschlag für Bitcoin.

- Kein Vermögensverwalter kann es sich jetzt noch leisten, Bitcoin zu ignorieren.

- Kein Staat kann es sich leisten, nicht mittelfristig über Bitcoin nachzudenken, geschweige denn, welche zu verkaufen.

- Das Spielfeld ist eröffnet, und als Bitcoiner kennt man die Züge, die passieren werden.

Alles ist vorbereitet.

- Die ETFs sind etabliert.
- Banken können BTC halten.
- Institutionen positionieren sich.

Und jetzt hat das Weiße Haus zugegeben, dass es Bitcoin braucht.
Nicht irgend ein Staat, sondern der mächtigste Staat der Welt.

- Die Unterscheidung von Bitcoin zu Krypto wurde klar getroffen.

- Die strategische Relevanz wurde hervorgehoben.

- Eine strategische Reserve wurde aufgesetzt.

- Weitere Bitcoin sollen in die Reserve folgen.

Das sind die Züge welche die aktuelle Weltmacht auf dem Schachbrett getätigt hat.

Die Spiele haben begonnen.

“This all stops in April.” “This all stops in June.” “This all stops in December.”

No, it’s not stopping.

If it didn’t stop when the world ostracized us and most “bitcoiners” abandoned us, it won’t stop now, and it won’t stop in the future.

Proof of work > proof of whining

[Rene Pickhardt @renepickhardt]

I always thought #bitcoin is useful as it gives us transferable property

Given the current war retorics of our politicians & geopolitical shifts, I think #bitcoin is much more needed than I ever imagined

Btw: Austrian economics always said a Bitcoin standard would prevent wars

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

Today, Bitcoin's market cap of ~$2T represents about 11% of gold's market cap of ~$18T.

Bitcoin is a better form of money. It has the decentralization and scarcity of gold, but better divisibility, portability, and (i think) even fungibility. It's relatively harder to tell if gold is pure, or contains some lead in the middle of the bar.

All this leads me to believe that any country with Gold reserves, should be holding at least 11% of that amount in Bitcoin reserves. And I believe in the next 5-10 years Bitcoin's market cap will likely surpass Gold. So these reserves should grow to exceed Gold.

If the US leads here with a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, I think many of the G20 will follow. Coinbase is available to help any country that wishes to do so. Get in touch.

Eine Beobachtung zum Trump-Coin-Launch:

Der Markt differenziert eindeutig zwischen Bitcoin und Crypto.

Während allen anderen Cryptos zugunsten des Trump-Coins Liquidität entzogen wurde, bleibt Bitcoin leicht positiv.

Kaum jemand, der denkt, Bitcoin sei mit Crypto gleichzusetzen, besitzt Bitcoin.

Kaum jemand, der denkt, Bitcoin sei nicht Teil der Crypto, besitzt Kryptowährungen.

Die Schönheit des freien Marktes ist, dass er langfristig immer die Wahrheit findet.

Schönes Wochenende ☀️
