Italian born in Milan • Now in Thailand • Bitcoin & altcoins with zero hype • Real European view from outside the system

[Ziopat @ziopat]

I’m Italian, born in Milan.

I left Europe and now live in Thailand.

From here, I watch what’s happening back home with much clearer eyes.

Europe is taxing and regulating itself into irrelevance while Bitcoin keeps building the exit ramp most Europeans will never take.

On this account you’ll get:
- Straight Bitcoin & altcoin news and analysis
- Real European perspective (not the usual American maxi view)
- Honest takes on what’s broken in the system — and how Bitcoin fits in

No hype. No fake signals. No moonboy nonsense.

Just useful information for people who want financial freedom instead of waiting for the next tax or rule.

If you’re tired of watching Europe sleepwalk into the next crisis… you’re in the right place.

‼️ Proton says 85% of the 390 VPN apps in US app stores contain trackers that collect and share personal data, and 64 of them are owned by Chinese companies. 31 of those hide it behind shell firms in Singapore, Hong Kong and the UK.

Chinese law compels those companies to hand user data to the state on request, putting the browsing activity and personal data of US users in reach of the Chinese government. Americans downloaded them 3M+ times in one month.

🇫🇷 FRANCE TAX BREACH CREATES PHYSICAL SECURITY NIGHTMARE FOR BITCOIN HOLDERS

France disclosed this month that hackers breached its tax administration and extracted data concerning roughly 678,000 individuals and businesses.

The stolen data reportedly includes names, addresses, income and property information.

An analysis of the alleged database found 26,805 records with income above €100K, including 386 above €1M.

The implications for Bitcoin holders are particularly concerning.

France accounted for 33 of the 52 verified crypto wrench attacks worldwide in H1 2026, according to CertiK.

French prosecutors have also accused a tax employee of using government databases to identify crypto investors and sell personal information to criminals involved in physical attacks and extortion.

No physical attack has been publicly linked to the latest breach.

But sensitive financial and location data on hundreds of thousands of people is now potentially outside the government’s control.

Bitcoin Asia 2026 is happening right now in Hong Kong.

While a lot of attention stays on US flows and macro events, Asia’s largest Bitcoin-focused conference is taking place today at the Hong Kong Convention Centre.

With speakers including CZ, Balaji Srinivasan, Metaplanet’s Simon Gerovich, and Hong Kong policymakers, the event highlights how Asia continues to build Bitcoin infrastructure and adoption in a more structural, long-term way.

The narrative that Bitcoin is mainly a Western story is getting harder to defend.

Which Asian market do you think is currently the most interesting for Bitcoin adoption?

The US Treasury is buying bonds at a record pace.

Lower yields = more liquidity = risk-on assets (including BTC).

Many call it the “debasement trade.” I see it as the classic macro setup that has historically preceded Bitcoin’s biggest moves.

Liquidity Bazooka Activated?

[Ziopat @ziopat]

BlackRock’s IBIT and other Bitcoin ETFs have seen over $3B in inflows in August alone.

This isn’t a retail-driven pump. It’s consistent institutional demand.

Retail is still on the sidelines. When they finally step in, what do you think happens next?

BTC Liquidity Grab into Jackson Hole.

Fed Chair Warsh speaks today. The market is already testing liquidity levels above $80.5K.

Dovish tone → potential acceleration toward $82-83K.
Hawkish tone → risk of sweeping $78K.

Which way are you positioned? 👇

The dominant theme at Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong isn’t “Bitcoin is money.” It’s “Bitcoin as a reserve asset for nations and corporations in Asia.”

Metaplanet, regulators, and funds are openly talking about Bitcoin as a tool to diversify away from the dollar and U.S. Treasuries.

From my vantage point in Thailand, this is the part that matters most: it’s no longer just retail driving the narrative. It’s Asia slowly positioning itself as an institutional counterparty.

Are we witnessing the early stages of a real Asian institutional bid for Bitcoin, or is it still too early to call it?

[Ziopat @ziopat]

Today Hong Kong launched its first combined Bitcoin and gold ETF on the local exchange.

This isn’t just another product. It’s one of the clearest signals yet that parts of Asia are building real infrastructure to hold Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset alongside gold.

While the West is still debating whether Bitcoin deserves a place on balance sheets, here the focus has already shifted to how it can be integrated.

From Thailand, this looks like one of the more under-the-radar developments worth watching.

Do you think other Asian countries will follow with similar products this year, or will Hong Kong remain an outlier?

[Ziopat @ziopat]

Bitcoin Asia just kicked off in Hong Kong and the strongest signal coming out of it is this: Asia wants to become the institutional bridge for Bitcoin.

Over 10,000 attendees, CZ speaking for the first time this cycle, Metaplanet pushing the corporate treasury model, and Asian regulators openly discussing Bitcoin as a strategic asset.

From my vantage point in Thailand, this doesn’t feel like just another conference. Hong Kong is actively trying to turn Bitcoin’s institutional narrative into something multipolar.

Will Hong Kong actually become the stable East-West bridge for Bitcoin, or will this remain mostly optics?

There is no such thing as “behind the scenes” bills being passed into law and no it won’t be official on the 15th. That’s the date the cloture vote will occur. If it passes cloture (60+ votes needed) then it will be debated and then there can be a floor vote.
