Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador and once one of Bitcoin's loudest champions, hasn’t mentioned BTC since September 2025.
He’s abandoned it, just like everyone else eventually will. He was also caught lying about daily purchases (they are caught re-shuffling it to create an illusion, rather than buying new), shut down the country’s Bitcoin wallet app, cancelled the Bitcoin Vet and Volcano Projects, quietly removed BTC as legal tender, and behind the scenes, signed a deal with the IMF which agreed to sidelining BTC completely.
Love how the maxis are so quiet about this.
So here’s the issue you get influencers like this guy have a quarter million followers and they claim they don’t know why it is declining… it’s because they don’t understand basic mechanics of price discovery.
They don’t understand that the marginal buyers or the float determines price they think the onchain bitcoin is that is the price discovery
Well, it was once upon a time but now..
Once you can synthetically manufacture the supply, the asset is no longer scarce and once scarcity is gone, price becomes a derivatives game, not a supply-and-demand market.
This is exactly what has happened to Bitcoin.
This is the same structural break that occurred in gold, silver, oil, and eventually equities once they became derivatives-dominated.
The original premise that no longer exists
Bitcoin’s entire valuation logic was built on finite supply (21M) and inability to be rehypothecated.
That died the moment:
•Cash-settled futures
•Perpetual swaps
•Options
•ETFs
•Prime broker lending
•Wrapped BTC
•Total return swaps
were layered on top of the chain.
From that moment forward:
Bitcoin supply became theoretically infinite.
Not on-chain in price discovery.
The metric that explains the collapse
Synthetic Float Ratio (SFR)
Once you can synthetically manufacture the supply, the asset is no longer scarce — and once scarcity is gone, price becomes a derivatives game, not a supply-and-demand market.
That is exactly what has happened to Bitcoin.
This is the same structural break that occurred in gold, silver, oil, and eventually equities once they became derivatives-dominated.
Why Wall Street can now “trade against” Bitcoin
They do exactly what they’ve done in every commodity market:
1.Create unlimited paper BTC
2.Short into rallies
3.Force liquidations
4.Cover lower
5.Repeat
They are not “betting” — they are manufacturing inventory.
The same 1 BTC can now support:
•An ETF unit
•A futures contract
•A perpetual swap
•An options delta
•A broker loan
•A structured note
All at once.
That is six claims on one coin.
That is not a market.
That is a fractional reserve price system.
@abcbitcoin860@grok Pues, ya es una cuestión diferente dónde invertirlos. Pero ciertamente, en la mayoría de las jurisdicciones, no te cobran impuestos por tan solo tenerlos guardados.
@abcbitcoin860@grok Lo que ocurre es que la gran mayoría de los países no cobran impuestos sobre el dinero que tienes guardado en una cuenta de ahorros.
Los países listados arriba son excepciones.
De ahí que piense que el mensaje de fondo en el tweet es misleading.
@abcbitcoin860@grok Puedes aclarar esto? Es requerido declarar impuestos sobre ahorros en los países listados arriba, o sobre los intereses que produzcan dichos ahorros mientras estén guardados?
