Latest notes and follow hashtags doesn't do it.

I'm loosing a lot of interesting notes and seeing a lot of shitposting, if i could i would change that.

Seems just the promise of free speech isn't enough to get them here. They don't really care that much about free speech.

JUST IN: 🇩🇰 Denmark's Supreme Court rules #Bitcoin profits are taxable.

The blue check is the first step in Elon's plan to bring the chinese social credit score system to the west.

If you verify your phone number and pay with a credit card - which is linked to your social security number and other personal info - you get more reach.

🇭🇰 Hong Kong regulators encourage banks to finance #Bitcoin  and crypto companies in effort to become a digital asset hub - Bloomberg

So, I started reading Jason Lowery’s Softwar.

Initial thoughts pt 2:

The first central bank that starts printing money to buy up the remaining bitcoin on exchanges and move it to their nation’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserves will be the most powerful nation in the post fiat world.

Who will it be?

Seen very little discussion around BoJ which is going to make these European banks look like a crash for ants

Deflation is inherently good, with a sound money. It means increasing productivity/technology is making prices lower.

But a high-debt system built upon inflation, cannot withstand deflation.

States like Texas and Wyoming are what give me so much hope. The decentralization of the States is Amazing!

A couple things:

1. Every 10 minutes, 6.25 new Bitcoin are produced which must be sold onto the market to cover mining costs. That means if there isn’t sufficient demand at a certain price for those new Bitcoins, supply will correct downwards. Bitcoin is a highly liquid market and this isn’t the main driver by any stretch, but my point is just that you still need demand to maintain price.

2. Many people who own Bitcoin are still Wall Street trader types who legitimately don’t understand what they own. They still see it as a tech stock and think “hawkish fed means dump”.

3. If economic conditions really do get bad enough (high unemployment) then many people may have trouble finding USD which they can use to buy Bitcoin. Along with increasing crackdowns on on/off ramps, this is still an issue for many. Until we are in a Bitcoin denominated world, people will still need to service dollar debts and payments and will therefore need to sell to the “safety” of the dollar from time to time.

In todays case though, I speculate that it’s just a simple example of the market flushing out longs. We were in “fuck you banks” euphoria mode and I’m sure some bozos leveraged up at 29k and now need to be liquidated before we can resume moving higher.

After saying all that, just stay humble and stack sats 🫡

There’s nothing to get, it’s just a price

Combination of supply/demand, highly irrational (voting machine) in the short term but over the long run is a great tool for weighting values against each other

The only time Bitcoin/USD should matter to you is when you’re trying to get the most sats for your dollar; or god forbid, the most dollars for your sat
