The Hijacking of the Bitcoin Revolution Continues With the Complicity of Michael J. Saylor.

Michael J. Saylor is seen as a role model in the Bitcoin world with the bold strategy he has been following with MicroStrategy since August 2020.

There's no doubt that Michael J. Saylor has done much evangelizing in favor of Bitcoin and its adoption by companies in the United States as a treasury primary reserve.

However, it now seems to me that Michael J. Saylor has lost his way on the road to the Bitcoin revolution.

Apart from accumulating ever more BTC by taking advantage of flaws in the current system, what does MicroStrategy build/create?

How is MicroStrategy putting its thousands of BTC into action in support of the Bitcoin revolution?

How is MicroStrategy using its thousands of BTC to support the creation of a circular economy based on the Bitcoin system?

MicroStrategy holds nearly 245K BTC. That's huge, but what's it good for?

Michael J. Saylor says Bitcoin as a MoE is a distraction. Michael J. Saylor only promotes Bitcoin as a simple SoV integrated into the current system. Michael J. Saylor hasn't even bothered to manage his Bitcoin's private keys himself.

And yet, for more than 4 years, MicroStrategy could have decided to show how to secure its Bitcoin rather than delegating this to Coinbase, like most financial institutions. BlackRock is doing the same, of course, because they don't care about the liberating power of the Bitcoin revolution.

The only thing these players care about is the profit they can make from Bitcoin in weak money!

Is this the model you want to protect the future of the Bitcoin revolution?

Michael J. Saylor seems to me to be the perfect accomplice of BlackRock and the other financial giants who want to take control of Bitcoin to marginalize its revolution by integrating it into the current system.

It's quite terrifying to realize that we've gone from Satoshi Nakamoto and the Cypherpunks movement, who wanted to create an alternative system to the American dollar system, to Michael J. Saylor and Co. who only want one thing: to integrate Bitcoin into the current system to obtain maximum profit.

This is a major risk for the future of the Bitcoin revolution since its interest is not to end up controlled by Wall Street, but to remain at the service of those who need it most, all over the world.

Sudden realization or pure demagoguery in the run-up to the US presidential election?

"JPMorgan says bitcoin price could drop toward $42,000 after April halving"

Nobody can know. It is reality.

Obviously, after such an increase in the price of Bitcoin, we are used to seeing a strong correction afterward.

Will this still be the case in the coming weeks? No one can say, because these Bitcoin Spot ETFs seem to be game changers with demand that currently seems infinite and cannot be satisfied.

As long as this demand is at this level, the price will not undergo a major correction as JPMorgan predicts.

But the golden rule for the price of Bitcoin is clear: don't expect anything in particular and be ready for anything!

What innovations around the Bitcoin system are you most excited about?

Since the beginning of 2024, there's only one word on everyone's lips when it comes to Bitcoin: its price!

The entry of the financial giants into the world of Bitcoin has changed the game in terms of demand, with an ever-increasing demand for BTC that nothing can satisfy.

BlackRock, Fidelity, and the other Wall Street giants are now approaching 4% ownership of Bitcoin's circulating supply.

In the face of all this excitement, some would almost forget that the price of Bitcoin isn't the most interesting thing in the Bitcoin world. The price of Bitcoin in weak money remains important to play an essential marketing role and help more people get interested in Bitcoin, but in the end, there's much more interesting when you've understood the why of Bitcoin.

That's why I'd like to talk here about upcoming innovations in Bitcoin Mainnet or the Bitcoin ecosystem. The following come to mind:

- BitVM, with the potential arrival of smart contracts in the Bitcoin world.

- Stratum V2

- Machankura

- Miniscript and all the innovations that will build on it.

- Future developments around the Lightning Network.

- Enhanced confidentiality with BIP 47 and BIP 324

- BIP 119

- Fedimint and Cashu

- Nostr

- ...

I'll stop here, as the list is far from exhaustive.

So my question is simple: which Bitcoin innovations are you most excited about?

It's in France in 2024.

If you want to access your money, you have to provide a whole bunch of supporting documents.

Why do you have to provide these supporting documents when it is your money that is in the bank?

Or it might be time to remind yourself that your money in the bank:

❌ is not your money.

❌ is not actually in the bank.

❌ is not actually money.

❌ doesn't really exist.

Bitcoin is your way out of this debt-based system.

In just a few years, Marathon Digital has become one of the heavyweights of Bitcoin mining. The company headed by Fred Thiel has been communicating a great deal about this for some time, and it's easy to see why Marathon Digital's success on paper is so impressive.

In December 2023, Marathon Digital successfully mined 1,853 BTC! In January 2024, Marathon Digital had to adapt its operational production capacities due to certain constraints on its production sites. This brought its total down to 1,084 BTC mined. However, this is still 58% higher than what Marathon Digital achieved in January 2023.

At the heart of Marathon Digital's success is, of course, its mining pool, Mara Pool. Marathon Digital is the only publicly listed Bitcoin mining company in America to own its mining pool. This gives Marathon Digital flexibility that other Bitcoin Mining companies don't have.

Among the possibilities offered by owning its mining pool is the ability to offer a service like Slipstream, which Marathon Digital announced on February 22, 2024.

Slipstream aims to simplify the validation of so-called “non-standard” Bitcoin transactions.

In what follows, I'll explain in detail what these “non-standard” transactions are, what Slipstream is all about, and finally, why Slipstream is causing so much controversy in the Bitcoin world.

The first step is to understand that the current monetary and financial system is flawed.

Not easy when the educational system has done everything to leave you in blissful ignorance since ever.

Then, you will have to understand that since the injustice of the current system benefits those who run it, it is not fixable.

Once you understand the problem, you can really appreciate the solution represented by Bitcoin.

By studying Bitcoin seriously, you will come to understand that Bitcoin is an incredible monetary revolution that will change the world of the future for the better.

Obviously, with such a monetary revolution, patience is key.

The best strategy with Bitcoin is to take a long-term view. This means acting in days while thinking in decades.

You must learn to step back and see the bigger picture. Rather than letting the volatility of the Bitcoin price play tricks on you, you need to make it your greatest ally.

This is not easy at first, because Bitcoin is totally different from anything you've ever experienced before. But you'll get there eventually if you understand the why of Bitcoin and what Bitcoin can do for you in the future.

You could probably show them this video from Michael J. Saylor.

Do you remember this legendary moment in Bitcoin history?

Janet Yellen declares herself opposed to a Fed audit...

A man puts a sign behind her with Buy Bitcoin written on it.

No need to require an audit of the Bitcoin system. The system allows everyone to do a complete audit every 10 minutes on average!

This man then takes the photo with his legendary sign and will ultimately have received 7.03 BTC in donations!

Christine Lagarde:

"A hotter climate and nature loss are changing our lives. We must understand what this means for the economy to fulfill our mandate. With our climate and nature plan, we are intensifying our efforts to help underpin stability and support the green transition."

How to translate what the one who is at the head of the ECB has just said?

Out of thin air monetary printing of the euro will soon resume to finance this climate transition...

This will not surprise anyone because all excuses are good to further debase the currency.

On the other hand, what should surprise you is that the president of the ECB talks about the climate transition when her mandate as the head of the ECB is not linked to climate issues.

As a reminder, the ECB's mandate is to ensure price stability.

So why does the president of the ECB allow herself to go beyond the scope of the ECB's missions?

Why doesn't anyone say anything to her when she exceeds her prerogatives?

One can blindly trust one's politicians for only one thing: to always make decisions that go against the interests of the people.

Everything is being put in place for the arrival of the digital euro in the future.

This digital euro will be a catastrophe for the private lives of European citizens since it will also be accompanied by a gradual withdrawal of cash almost everywhere in Europe.

All pretexts will be used to justify this withdrawal of cash.

The dystopian future we've all been talking about is slowly but inevitably becoming a reality.

It's always the same thing with these bankers.

They fight against a technological revolution like Bitcoin by telling you that it is a scam.

And then, one day, when it becomes clear that nothing can stop this revolution, they start wanting to be part of it.

In a few years, Goldman Sachs will actively promote Bitcoin to its clients!

Don't listen to these bankers, and learn to think for yourself. This is the only way to take power over your life and not let yourself be trapped by the narrative of the powerful at the head of the current system.

With Bitcoin, the Key Is to Focus on the Real Signal, Leaving Aside the Ambient Noise Propagated by Those Who Want to Keep You Away From the Bitcoin Revolution.

The powerful people at the head of the current system have a vested interest in keeping you away from Bitcoin.

Why? Because Bitcoin gives power back to the people.

Bitcoin takes power out of the hands of governments and bankers and puts it back in the hands of the people.

Governments and bankers don't want to lose their power, which they use arbitrarily and unfairly. So everything is done to discourage the general public from buying Bitcoin.

You've heard the same false clichés over and over again:

"Bitcoin is dangerous"

"Bitcoin is used for illegal activities"

"Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme"

"Bitcoin is an ecological disaster"

"Bitcoin is too volatile"

...

I'll stop here, but this list of lies is very long.

Here I'll just dwell on the cliché "Bitcoin is too volatile".

Volatile with what? With the price of Bitcoin expressed in fiat currency!

But when it comes down to it, the ultimate goal of the Bitcoin revolution is not to measure your Bitcoin in fiat currency. The goal of Bitcoin is to enable you to do without fiat currencies.

We're still a long way from that, but it's the goal.

Bitcoiners want to foster the creation of a circular economy based on the Bitcoin system. As such, the Buy And HODL Bitcoin pattern must be gradually replaced by the Spend and Replace Bitcoin pattern.

This is the key to the future success of the Bitcoin revolution.

If we fail to do this, Bitcoin will remain a formidable store of value, but we will have missed something.

If you continue to focus on these clichés propagated by those who have a vested interest in seeing the Bitcoin revolution fail, you are wrongly focusing on the ambient noise rather than the real signal: the Bitcoin revolution.

The choice is yours.

Beware of FUD in the Bitcoin world.

Focus on the facts by always looking to dig into the rumors that pop up in the media or social networks.

This is the key to taking full advantage of the Bitcoin revolution in the years to come.
