Perhaps humans should learn to be a bit more humble, before they claim to own a part of something they absolutely can't comprehend ?

I think we would like to know more facts ?

How many of those actually start believing buying #Bitcoin.

Big price jumps give #Bitcoin more media attention, more people start investigating it.

But the thing that matters is how much of those take action and even more interesting how many got to understand #Bitcoin.

I think we are past the point of no return.

But also think the real explosion has still to take place.

We are not yet in the same territory, yet..

But for sure are going that way 🤷‍♂️

Who cares ?

The ledger part is important but definitely not the only thing that makes #Bitcoin what it is.

You with a pen and paper can create and maintain a Ledger, every computer can do that even better.

Still not close to what #Bitcoin is.

Some thoughts.

#Bitcoin available in OTC pool have reduced to some 150k, that is not much considering just Microstrategy buying scheme..

#Bitcoin only exchanges have reduced to some 2.4 million but since these are owned by someone can't reduce to zero.

2025 was supposed to be the ATH year looking at previous cycles, making the above 100k recent top an anomaly (caused by ETF inflows ?).

So let's see where 2025 will get us ?

Another 6102 event doesn't affect those who understand "not your keys not your coins" or know a thing about history.

And then you have those idiots who both understand and know history.

In short "bring it on".

I think you should compare interest and gains against inflation (real inflation, not what is reported).

What they charge you for a loan, mortgage or CC-debt is just a measure how hard you are being fu.... combined with how stupid someone is.

#Bitcoin is an answer to most of this, hint why they don't like it......

Of course we all agree.

But realize that many purchases, house, land, car etc. require you (the law does) to be able to declare where your money is comming from.

Let's leave behind what we think of this, it is reality.

Your #Bitcoin being perfect private also implies such purchases are not possible or will cost you a lot !

Just check your legislation on this.

My rule of tump, it is easier to make money go dark, than the other way around.

Uhum I would have no issue with it being anti-government...

"Believing in god does not cost you anything, but has the possibility of eternal life an object of infinite value. "

Not sure if God will judge positive on this when you arrive at the gate ?

Using is not the same as selling in my book.

My being bored attempt:

Don't worry, it will work out.

People will get smarter or lose their corn.

At some point price has to move up.

Don't just assume the crazy days must be behind us.

I keep it short these days.

I mention I see #Bitcoin as the best Money available, and mention fiat being bad due to inflation.

Usually I have a copy close of "The #Bitcoin Standard" they can read if they want to.

If that doesn't trigger them, next please.

Yes that triggered me as well.

They don't have a clue what they are talking about !

I always had the idea that OTC would be limited/ending.

Having observed last year I start to doubt.

What if it is a self regulating mechanism, higher prices will mean more who are willing to sell.

OTC had some 500k #Bitcoin in 2021 and some 150k beginning this year.

First thought is big decrease.

But without knowing total in and outflow during that same period a lot of guessing is left.

Exchanges have some 1 million #Bitcoin in custody.

But how much of those can they sell without getting into problems ?

Mining numbers are known and very rough, Microstrategy is buying that full supply on its own (just to give an idea what is roughly happening at this moment).

Apparently the demand can still be supported at ~$100k.

But the real test will be if this hold for long and what if even more demand shows up from Governments and other huge players ?

Will OTC get enough inflow to keep Exchanges free from a demand explosion, or will it be fought out in the open where everyone can see the huge demand candles and an empty supply side ?

It is the bless and curse of being early.

Legislation is changing fast and in my jurisdiction they just decided it is needed to see an exchange from #Bitcoin to fiat as taxable event at the rate of 30% tax.

This changes my planning drastically.

Not that I can't life of it anymore, but I just don't want to pay for a system that treats me as a slave and is now openly talking about building up an army and go to war with Russia.

It just proves again Government is not a trustworthy partner.

The problem is where to go.. ?

Laughing my ass off.

Hi IQ people....

They should simply tell that it doesn't matter at all.

Budget neutral is completely nonsense.

The only thing that matters is who can get the most #Bitcoin before the other competitors get them.

And the other competitors are; every single person, every company, institution, Government and all the rest we don't even have words for yet.

As long as this has not landed we are EARLY.

End of broadcast.

Every town and village should have a weekly bus service.

Those in favor of that war, or any war for that matter, should hop on and brought to the Frontline ASAP.

It would solve a huge problem pretty fast.
