💯…the proper frame of reference is the US Dollar is a sinking ship.
#Bitcoin is a super tanker that showed up willing to take on as many people as would like to get off the sinking ship.
Bitcoin didn’t break it, the US Dollar was broke when it got here.

Blackrock requesting in-Kind redemption on its #Bitcoin ETF is another huge catalyst for #Bitcoin. Currently moving out of the ETF is cash and a taxable event. In-Kind would allow authorized participants to take position of the Bitcoin…mostly banks. Couple that with repeal of SAB 121 allowing banks to custody Bitcoin and you have FAR less friction which will attract more capital to #Bitcoin.
SELF CUSTODY is still preferred but this opens up options such as Bitcoin lending with low interest rates, LOC on ETFs, etc for those wanting it. This is BULLISH people.

Politics 🤢🤮 but it’s a reality and the recent ending of SAB 121 will be HUGE for #Bitcoin in 2025 as it will allow banks to custody.
Self custody #Bitcoin is preferred but banks being allowed to custody will be the gateway for people to gain exposure to #Bitcoin. Collateralized Bitcoin loans with reasonable interest rates will also be the result.
It will be interesting to watch.

Regarding the strength of the case made, agree to disagree. I e seen FAR stronger cases made for Hal Finney although I think neither is Satoshi. It’s a great documentary on other fronts. But to your point, my opinion is irrelevant. 🤝

Bitcoin is the topic of a new documentary on HBO called Electric Money. It claims to reveal the true identity of the creator of #Bitcoin. Their conclusion is wrong. Satoshi is NOT Peter Todd (who is that?…doesn’t matter).
But what is most interesting is the timing of this documentary. We are likely entering a time of significant price appreciation for #Bitcoin with the FED easing, global liquidity rapidly increasing and this time of year post halving tends to be VERY good for #Bitcoin.
And who owns a massive stake in HBO? Blackrock…which also has the most successful ETF IN HISTORY; their #Bitcoin ETF. Plus Blackrock has been going on a massive campaign lately to promote the #Bitcoin. All these are tail winds for #Bitcoin. Stay humble and stack sats.

If you own #Bitcoin, you need to connect with the tax experts at @satoshipacioli . They understand account, tax and #Bitcoin. A RARE combination. 🫡

I feel his pain. The realization that taxes are paid on money you worked for BEFORE you and your family.

Zimbabwe just devalued it currency massively overnight. Why should you care? The FED is doing the same thing in the US just slower and more nuanced.
Central banks are NOT to be trusted.
This is “Why #Bitcoin?”

Concerned about price controls or freedom of speech? #Bitcoin is here when you need it. No need to live in fear. You can be sovereign starting with #Bitcoin. Peacefully opt out of the system driving an unnecessary wedge in our country through broken money.

@npub1cj8…rz4u absolutely nails it here. Campaign promises are so fiat. They need us more than we need them. Make them work for it. Great episode and worth watching the full version.

Agreed...NGU or cheap sats? That is the question. Trying to get my family and myself as much opportunity to stack as possible. I am just grateful to have found #Bitcoin, kept researching and didn't dismiss it when I had every incentive to do so.

2024-07-11 18:30:42 CEST

With all the noise, it can be easy to forget that #Bitcoin is a blessing. It's emergence has gifted us permissionless, stateless sound money. If you are reading this, you know about #Bitcoin which puts you in truly rare company. Be grateful...I am. https://m.primal.net/JNFD.png I am.

New to #Bitcoin and a bit overwhelmed? It is many things, but a useful start is thinking of #Bitcoin as savings technology. If you save in USD, it WILL loss money due to inflation. If you save in #Bitcoin and hold it, you will experience volatility BUT will likely VASTLY outperform inflation. Volatile savings technology (Bitcoin) is superior to guaranteed inflation losses (USD).

Once the US Dollar was no longer limited to the amount of Gold in the possession of the United States Treasury, it lost its limitation on its supply. Once that happened, we had to “trust” that the US Treasury and Federal Reserve Bank would not create too much additional money. This is ”Why #Bitcoin.”

Saudi Arabia deciding to end the 50 year petrodollar agreement is a huge blow to US Dollar as the global reserve currency. This plus the continued debasement will further weaken USD. Perhaps it’s time to look into #Bitcoin
I believe the Saudis ditching the petrodollar system is MAJOR step away from USD fiat hegemony. I also believe the US can maintain its global leadership roll by fully embracing #Bitcoin. #Bitcoin mining defending cyberspace (see Jason Lowery) and stacking #Bitcoin in the US Treasury.

I am genuinely hopefully Nostr can be that platform. I think it can be. Only time will tell. I’ve decided to engage more here.

Jamie Dimon the CEO of Chase Bank is an "Authorized Participant" for BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF. According to him #Bitcoin's only use case is illicit activity. If Chase is associated with #Bitcoin as an AP and it is only for illicit activity then what does that Chase? By his definition it make Chase a money launderer by association. Can't have it both ways Jamie. Not impressed with him or Chase!
