Why Everything's Changing
When building an economy on top of a global settlement layer, that currency or bedrock cannot deflect. For the past 40 years, that bedrock has been the US treasury market (it's massive - tens of trillions of dollars). And for 40 years, anyone who saved…
Why does everything feel like the world is falling apart, yet the stock market has looked like this since 2009?
Well, here's a thread w/ some interesting charts that will help you understand: what you see is NOT what you get.

I'm sorry, but after watching, Blackrock, Fidelity, Citadel, Schwab and now Deutsche Bank, all apply for
#Bitcoin
ETFs, spot exchanges, etc. only a few days after the SEC drops a TRO on Binance and sues Coinbase... how can't you think this entire past year was a giant inside job…
The fact that the IMF is making threatening statements to a country with a GDP of only 24 billion annually tells you more about their fear of
#Bitcoin
than anything else. Good luck stopping it. The mind virus keeps spreading.
But professor...
When you told me
#Bitcoin
was a Ponzi scheme you left out the part about the four-year halving cycle and two-week difficulty adjustment...
How does that work?
//Thread Post 1
The MicroStrategy treasury (193k Bitcoin), jumped in fiat value by $470,727,000 USD since 5 hours ago.
If the software business makes $75M per year, that means 6.3 years worth of work by the entire company was potentially captured in just 5 hours.
Things getting spicy out…
The magnitude of China's mistake is going to go down in the history books as one of the biggest blunders they have ever made in history.

If anyone's interested in learning about

, I highly recommend this free, 24 course video lecture series brought to you by MIT.
The teacher is professor Gary Gensler - the incoming SEC Chairman. Enjoy.

He purposely stole 9 billion in buying power from customers.
Then he gave 8 figure donations to the opposite political party as the person mentioned in your post.
Who’s paying for this blatant propaganda?
@SenWarren
Exactly the opposite. It makes the grid significantly more robust because any excess power can now be instantly turned into profits by power producers. And the capacity to have excess power is always needed to handle peek demand. It's hard to get any simpler than that.
Preston do you own any ETH?
No. Here's why. A Thread.
First, I don’t trust the decentralization of the ETH protocol. In the past, ETH has been governed by the direction of a few key influencers. If you haven’t discovered yet, the essence of this entire movement is removing 1/
Sorry, but this is business as usual. You can’t have 200% CAGR upside for ten years without massive volatility in route. During the last bull run we saw 6 correction of this magnitude or more.
@elonmusk
No one person can make or break
#Bitcoin
. Elon can tweet everyday for the rest of the year & it won't change the fundamentals of full nodes that enforce the consensus of the protocol. His emotional volatility only makes the network stronger whether he's for it or against it.
Oh my fucking goodness: Canada's Deputy Prime Minister says that, as part of the Emergencies Act, they are broadening Canada's "Terrorist Financing" rules so that they cover crowdfunding platforms and cryptocurrencies to the Canadian Freedom Convoy
If you know anything about Bitcoin, you’re about to be bombarded with questions from friends and family in the coming months. As a result, I have written a 1 pager that should assist in those engagements. If you don’t like mine, make your own, and share.
Hey Wall Street.
Not only did we NOT sell when the price went down by 55% in 1 month, we stopped going out to eat just so we could buy that much MORE
#Bitcoin
.
We aren't leaving. We aren't your slaves.
@nypost
@bradmillscan
New York Post editors & writers are psychopaths that that write click-bate, hit-piece, salacious hack articles that get engagement so they can sell ads at an expense of real research and intellect.
Remember it's not about nominal fiat gains. It's about protection and growing buying power. If there's one thing I'm confident of, it is this: the manipulative actions of central banks will continue to accelerate and fiat debasement will keep getting worse. Plan accordingly.
By the way, this
#Bitcoin
ETF will suck. The tracking error will suck, the fees will suck, the counterparty risk will suck...
Unless you have serious account restrictions on how you can get access to owning Bitcoin, buy the real stuff.
And learn how to take self-custody of it.
I think a lot of people don't understand that we are witnessing 2 MAJOR, once in a lifetime events, simultaneously.
1. A global pandemic
2. The melt-down of fiat currency and subsequently the global bond markets
I can't take the misuse of this terminology any more.
Inflation....Deflation....
Here's my point of view.
Central banks are aggressively "inflating" the fiat monetary base. Since 2008, the US federal reserve has expanded their balance sheet from .8T to 7.1T. Post 1
Here's
@nayibbukele
announcing the Bitcoin City project for El Salvador. A city with 0 income tax, 0 CGT, 0 property tax, 0 payroll tax
Funded with 10% sales tax, and Bitcoin bonds.
@Excellion
joined to talk about structure and using liquid.
People are totally underestimating how psychopathic the
#Bitcoin
buyer of the last year and a half has been.
They aren’t interested in selling…like ever. 😘
I love how the price of
#Bitcoin
didn't even budge on the EU vote. It didn't matter...never will matter.
You can't change Bitcoin, you can only ban yourself from using it - like a moron.
Blackrock isn't making the fiat price go up!
The countless psychopaths that have held through 70% drops AND bought MORE is why the price goes up.
#Bitcoin
56 million users. Over a billion in revenue in just 1 quarter. AND, this is just one of many exchanges...globally. And you still got people running around saying
#Bitcoin
is going to be banned.
Remember this tweet when the mainstream news tells you Bitcoin is evil because Russia is using it to bypass sanctions.
#bitcoin
is like a knife to a surgeon or a knife to a criminal. Like any valuable technology throughout time, its value comes from the intention behind its use.
Stand with the people of Ukraine. Now accepting cryptocurrency donations. Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT.
BTC - 357a3So9CbsNfBBgFYACGvxxS6tMaDoa1P

JUST IN: Tim Buckley is stepping down as CEO of Vanguard at end of year. Kind of a shocker tbh although he has been there 33 years. Greg Davis appointed President. Board on search now for new CEO.
Here's the beauty folks.
#Bitcoin
gives 2 sh*ts about the approval of a spot ETF. It costs nearly nothing to custody and it settles in 10 min. They are fighting a clock - tick, tock, tick... This thing literally feasts on corruption and manipulation and boy is the plate full.
Hey
@Visa
and
@MastercardNews
are you paying attention? No fees to route 5 cents of value, INSTANTLY, and without permission from anyone….And it can be to anywhere in the world. 🤯🔥
People saying Bitcoin is just replacing gold, total miss the big mark.
This is ALL about bonds.
Good luck convince the people owning 100 trillion in bonds - which yield nothing - to keep holding when their future face value & coupons are locked in fixed fiat “value”.
For 6 years people have told me that when
#Bitcoin
gets too big “they’ll shut it down”.
Well, here we are & this is one of the many Senators specifically talking about the game theory of NOT participating in this unstoppable network. 45 million+ Americans already own it.
Russia is going to treat
#Bitcoin
as a currency. When are policy makers going to realize this is the most urgent strategic importance. This is like owning a piece of the internet itself + global settlement layer..you don't get any do-overs for the size of your opening position.🤦♂️
Hey
@jack
I'd love to record a podcast or spaces chat about inflation. I know you're a very busy guy, but if you could even spare 30 minutes I think the discussion could be very valuable.
You mean the
#Bitcoin
network can immediate clear transactions for coffee...without permission from anyone.
I thought
@elonmusk
&
@mcuban
were collaborating on some new banana technology on Dogecoin to do this?
So what can you expect? Volatility. And lots of it. And if you think it'll be predictable, good luck. Predicting cascading credit impairment is akin to predicting avalanches (complex systems). I own
#Bitcoin
because it's the one thing they can't manipulate or control.
When you steal $20 it’s a crime.
When 20 people in a room steal trillions without representation or accountability by buying the bonds of zombie companies, it’s called monetary policy.
Capitalism without bankruptcy is like mathematics without subtraction.
There's a massive shock in economic markets brewing (& really soon) that's going to cause central banks around the world to aggressively reverse course in their "tightening" talk. The 40 year trend line in bond yields is breaking down and YCC in the US is right around the corner.
Just watched a boomer storm out of the barber shop, furious, because 4 people showed-up after him but checked-in via App before driving to the shop. Just wait until they see what we do w/
#Bitcoin
.
The point is this. Central banks are trying to do everything possible to keep the global economy afloat. Through their constant manipulation of the currency supply, they are obliterating the middle class & adding immeasurable systematic risk to the system. These actions...
Who wants to sign this contract with me?
You give me $1000 today, and then I'll give you back $990 in three years.
There are $15 trillion dollars worth of contracts like this - Right, Now.
Hey
@jack
if people don't want to accept their Bitcoin tips on twitter, they should be able to toggle their settings off so all funds then flow straight into a
#Bitcoin
developers donation account. Just an idea.
@elonmusk
@ChainLinkGod
@PeterMcCormack
Elon doesn’t even understand the difference between the participants running mining rigs and the participants running full nodes. Pathetic!
I'm not sure Wall Street's ready for what comes next if
@100trillionUSD
's S2F model continues to be valid.
Most market participants are accustomed to looking at things in linear terms...not log terms.
Just Released!
My interview with
@100trillionUSD
.
We covered all sorts of topics, but he provides his opinion on whether the S2F model will eventually fail. Give it a listen & let us know what you think.

@elonmusk
do you have a $4,819,136,400 billion USD
#Bitcoin
buy order “wall” set at a $69,420 USD? Might be a historic opportunity that the simulation might enjoy. It was also the previous all time high..so you got that going for it too. It just seems to make a lot of sense.
There is signal within the noise if you actually understand what this movement is all about.
Here’s a professional scammer - SBF.
Wonder why he didn’t like
#Bitcoin
?
Because that was the one thing on FTX he could NOT control and manipulate… Bitcoin is NOT “crypto”.
The irony of the art is comical. If people actually want to understand why Bitcoiners are so amused, this is why (2 minute read):
Demand response programs are essential for balancing electricity supply and demand, increasing grid efficiency, and integrating renewable energy…
@zerohedge
What. You think they’d attack our military head-on?
“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”
“Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness.”
“The wise warrior avoids the battle.”
“Victorious warriors win first and then go to war”
You gotta love watching two American mayors from NYC and Miami flexing at each other on how much of their personal paycheck is getting converting into

@SenWarren
& 104 other members of congress wrote a letter to the President about their concerns that crypto was financing terror. Then FinCEN published a major policy initiative in what appears to be a coordinated effort.
Here's my response.
@WSJ
wake-up.
Jack Dorsey has one thing listed in his bio on twitter.
So here’s the question for people that think BTC won’t work:
What the hell does this guy know about
#Bitcoin
that you don’t?
@GaryGensler
Save, and save early. Because at 1.3% interest and inflation at 5.3%, you might be able to pay off your college debt by 87 years old. Or never. Enjoy sheeple.
