If you’re trying to figure out what’s actually happening, you have to know who to listen to. @npub15dq…lm5m is speaking to a different audience. He’s speaking to Wall Street and government treasuries. @npub1qny…95gx, @npub1guh…6hjy, and @npub1s05…eyhe are speaking to plebs. This is so important as we move to hyperbitcoinization.

I think you’re on to the right idea. Truth is what corresponds to reality. Anything else is fantasy. If God exists, then it makes sense that morality comes from him. Intuition may be accurate but it can also be corrupted. Therefore it is unreliable for determining truth.
If intuition was always accurate, everyone would be incredibly rich. But others intuition makes them make bad decisions a lot. For instance, no one would say that an addict’s intuition is correct.

I think you’re right but if this cycle looks more like earlier cycles because the ETFs are selling so much Bitcoin, bye bye Coinbase. And there the next FTX. I think these ATH “glitches” are Coinbase going into supply shock.

2024-03-09 12:13:26 UTC

Coinbase Conspiracy
They don’t actually have the #Bitcoin they’re selling. This cycle Bitcoin is moving so fast that exchanges are running out of Bitcoin. They don’t have to prove reserves so they can continue to sell paper Bitcoin.
The big crash that ends this bull cycle for Bitcoin is Coinbase going down.
Again, don’t use Coinbase. If using KYC exchange, use Strike.

You're assuming a lot in most of your points. Biggest assumption is that the US dollar will continue to be strong. This is highly unlikely. Every world currency eventually is replaced. Watch some videos by Ray Dalio talking about this. I believe weare right on the dividing line between an emerging new world currency. IMO, it's either the Yuan or it's Bitcoin.

I think ecash and/or fedimint solutions is the best way a bitcoin standard is implemented.
In the future:
L1 - Settlement layer and place where major funds are moved. Equivalent to wiring funds today. Basically too impractical for your everyday needs but critically important as this runs the whole thing.
L2 - This is the credit card layer. This is the rails that the regular economy is built on.
L3 - Ecash/Fedimint - This becomes the operability layer which is the UI for the Bitcoin standard.

The Fed thinks it will pay this off in 2027!! Imagine any business that operates in a loss that long!
“But what happens when its costs exceed its income? In this case, the Fed creates a “deferred asset,” which is a negative liability whose value is the cumulative value of the shortfall in earnings. Once the Fed returns to earning a positive net income, it will pay down the value of the deferred asset until it reaches zero, at which point the Fed will resume sending remittances to the Treasury. As of Nov. 8, 2023, the Fed had accumulated a deferred asset of $116.9 billion. In April 2023, the New York Fed estimated that the Fed will return to positive net income in 2025. Combining those New York Fed projections with the latest data on net income, we estimate that the Fed will carry this deferred asset until mid-2027, after which it will resume transfers to the Treasury.”

Beauty is that you can/should and that should be encouraged. However, especially at certain amounts it’s going to be impossible at some point for the normie user to self custody due to fees and technical know how. Fees alone are already through the roof and this is just the beginning. So, what do you do when the cost of fees exceeds the amount you are putting into cold storage?

2024-01-14 01:29:14 UTC

I think this exposes the need for us to work hard at L3 solutions (fedimint, cashu, liquid). Scaling custody with normies means we need solutions that uphold as much sovereignty as possible while promoting incredibly easy UX designs.

This…
I believe the crapshow that FTX demonstrated was not only allowed to happen but it was sanctioned to happen by higher ups in the federal government. They know that Bitcoin will continue to rise and they know it’s going to eventually go like crazy. They want fractional reserve Bitcoin because they think they can control Bitcoin.
In the long term picture, they are fighting windmills and chasing the wind. In the short term/mid term they might be moderately successful in suppressing some price action relative to fiat.

That’s one thing the Fed has been successful at doing

2023-03-25 16:05:23 UTC

US banks borrowed almost $500 billion last week and depositors have moved $500 billion since Silicon Valley Bank collapsed. The WSJ reported that over 200 banks are in a similar situation as SVB. If all this hits before the US can raise the debt ceiling, we’d be looking at a catastrophic default. If they manage to raise it in time, we are still looking at the same outcome.
The Fed is out of solutions and can’t kick the can down the road anymore.

This is interesting. Don’t get hung up on the word “crypto.” This is good for Bitcoin. As the Fed Govt starts to make it harder to buy and sell Bitcoin, one potential game theory is that states will rise up and lead the way causing a split between the US Fed Govt and Bitcoin friendly and even possibly states that use a Bitcoin standard. This may be the catalyst to turn the US to exit fiat into a Bitcoin standard out of necessity. But it could lead to Civil War.

Sats do equal sats as in they count the same economically. I’m very aware of privacy and the complexity of KYC sats. Your question was unclear and was asking if non KYC sats and KYC sats can be on the same wallet, and the answer is yes because sats are sats.
However, privacy is a different issue. Your KYC sats are not private and won’t be unless you do some work as I stated earlier. One option would be to route those KYC sats through Lightning channels and then bring them back on chain. You effectively change the coins. Coinjoins through services like Whirlpool would also be a nice edition to making them private.
If you don’t understand that KYC sats and non KYC sats can be on the same wallet, I would respectfully suggest that you have more to learn. The smug attitude is unnecessary to someone who was just trying to help.

I really think Bilajis thesis is plausible even if it isn’t probable in the timeframe he has tossed out.
However, here is how Bilajis $1M Bitcoin price in 90 days could be accurate.
1. Unrealized losses from long term Treasuries at ridiculously low rates are held by many banks.
2. Stock prices fall as a result of these liabilities growing on banks balance sheets.
3. Falling stock prices create distrust in banks.
4. Distrust creates bank runs causing failing banks.
5. Fed tries to stop contagion with inflationary QE measures.
6. Due to inflation being severe still, Fed increases rates only intensifying the problem.
7. Smart money starts to exit banks into hard assets (Bitcoin being most attractive).
8. Bitcoin price starts to moon.
9. As banks fail and Fed keeps inflating currency, Bitcoin decouples from dollar and moons like crazy.

Just depends on what you want to use it for? If you expect on routing payments through your node, you’re going to need channel sizes that are larger and good inbound liquidity. If you’re just wanting zaps from Nostr, you can get by with smaller channel sizes.

My best advice:
1. Open up a few decently funded channels with trusted peers. Don’t worry about inbound liquidity unless you plan on opening some kind of store or bank with it. As you spend sats, you’ll naturally get inbound liquidity.
2. Utilize Zeus and a VPN so you can control your node away from where it’s located.

I actually don’t think the crux of Balaji’s argument is that crazy. His timeframe seems insane, but isn’t that exactly how something like this will go?
When hyperinflation hits, it will hit fast. Most people won’t be expecting it and will be surprised by it. Just like the COVID shutdowns. We were all caught off guard. Most of the world will be caught off guard with the collapse of the global fiat system.
Many Bitcoiners have tried to time and trade through Bitcoin cycles but there will be a time when it’s too late. Are we there yet? Maybe. But how would you know?
