Peter is correct, there is a HUGE difference between Bitcoin & Gold:. Only Bitcoin is digitally verifiable, provably scarce, efficiently transact-able, cheap & efficient to store, easily sub-divisible & natively digital - ALL without having to trust intermediaries….
There is a huge difference between a store of value like gold and a highly speculative digital token like Bitcoin, which has no real value to store. Yes, the price of Bitcoin went way up, but prior speculative gains don't qualify Bitcoin as a store of value for current buyers.

Jack speaks the truth. BUT, it is FAR more important than most Bitcoiners realize. The LARGEST pools of capital limit the size of all of their positions based on their estimates of the cost to liquidate if necessary. THIS proved those assumptions WAY too conservative.
The market absorbing 80,000 BTC (~$10B) in days with barely a blip is a big deal. Bitcoin isn’t fragile. Armchair analysts warning about treasury selloffs crashing Bitcoin might want to think again. Going to take orders of magnitude more than 80k BTC to stop what’s coming 📈.

THIS is what the process of mass adoption looks like: OG Bitcoiners passing the baton to the investing public. (did anyone really think that Bitcoin could replace Gold as THE store of value without a substantial broadening of the holder base???).

WTF happened to @Forbes???. This article is so flawed, that it might not pass muster at the BABYLON BEE. The FUNDAMENTAL crime committed by SBF was to allow a backdoor (which he LIED about repeatedly), used by his own fund (Alameda) to employ FAR more leverage in trading.

Matt explains our frustration with financial system incumbents well. Its a system where bank losses are socialized, cartels are supported by the government & advances in information technology have been ignored by regulators, to maintain the status quo. DIGITAL IS the.
These articles make sad. People are trapped in the current financial system, and can't imagine a better future. Our financial system is actually not that great. Banks pay an average of 0.01% interest on checking accounts. Checks clear in five days. Stocks settle T+1 and not on.

If you think this is a random musing, you are asleep. When the Secretary of the Treasury starts talking about a re-alignment of the financial system, pay attention, because PRINTER IS COMING.
.@SecScottBessent: "What we need to do is examine the entire Federal Reserve institution and whether they have been successful. All of these Ph.D.s over there, I don't know what they do. This is like Universal Basic Income for academic economists."

Great thread explaining why Marxism is the ULTIMATE example of "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", with a dollop of "absolute power corrupts absolutely.". The TLDR is forced redistribution requires unchecked government power that ALWAYS results in human misery. .
🧵 1/ Marxism inspires people to wield government’s coercive power against their fellow citizens—inevitably causing immense harm—all while insisting that the harm is justified because “it’s for their own good”

I repeat. THIS is why perpetual futures are going to explode when approved. Like options, they provide limited loss leverage, but are MUCH cheaper to trade.
Starting to think we're either very near a top, or about to experience an absolutely massive, vertical, face-ripping blow off top. Someone I know who just buys 0-1DTE calls on big tech every day.IV? Greeks? Bid-Ask? Earnings? P/E?. Don't know em, don't care- just buy calls.
