Everything can shift under the surface.

Bitcoin price action is as flat as can be, but it feels like the decision to go up or down after this range has already been made.

My inclination is always bullish. I think we set a higher low on this dip, and invariably, Bitcoin is worth more than it is priced.

Then again, when DOGE was causing uproar last spring, I remember hearing that cutting spending, even if fraudulent, would trigger a recession. Fiscal Dominance is inescapable.

This time, I’m not hearing much recession fear, though I am sensing that people have a deeper awareness of how far the rot goes.

I’m not sure if that’s naivety or a disbelief that anything will ever be done to stop the fraud.

Maybe it's just that Trump can't afford a recession.

He will print the money.

I have no idea which way Bitcoin will go once the decision emerges, but I'm happy to hold it regardless. It is the only thing in the entire world that can't be debased.

Gotta be continuously extending the time preference

agreed... the shitcoiner-in-chief has already set in motion what is to come... according to him the fed chair sucked because he didn't print fast enough... iow incoming fed fuel for 2026... my crystal ball is not sure how bitcoin doesn't reach new highs in the coming year.

but, will nostr emphasize ngu over freedom tech? my crystal ball has no answer, but I will put my energies towards freedom tech.

btw, my family enjoyed your wine throughout the holidays... thank you for all your efforts!

Hey, nice I'm glad you liked it!

I doubt Nostr will ignore the NGU

Yep. In a system where you can’t simultaneously get re-elected AND do the fiscally responsible thing, Bitcoin wins.

I share the same feelings šŸ”„

Wise words

The more reason why we should stay humble and stack those precious sats. āš”ļøšŸ«”

Yeah it’s interesting reading the market. Ones emotions. The news. The experience of previous cycles. Technical indicators. Bitcoin hash rate and adoption. So many things blend together

And what is always so nice to come back to: fixed supply that cannot be debased

Boom

And that’s the key piece. In an uncertain world, we’re able to own a piece of certainty

HNY Ben!

I have a hard time buying the argument that cutting fraudulent spending is a net negative for economic activity.

To steel man it, the fraud goes into someone's pocket and then is spent into the rest of the economy.

Obvs anything that leaves the country to fund terrorists as some of the Minnesota fraud has is a net negative
