No more debt ceilings after 2025 - a part of the debt deal struck today. Not priced into #bitcoin that for sure!
Bitcoin, as a decentralized cryptocurrency, operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no scheduled downtime. Its blockchain has been running continuously since it launched on January 3, 2009.
The S&P 500, on the other hand, trades during standard U.S. market hours: from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET, Monday through Friday, not including public holidays and special circumstances.
To calculate the total operating hours for each:
1. **Bitcoin**: From January 3, 2009 to June 1, 2023, there are exactly 5212 days (including the start and end days). Bitcoin is operational all 24 hours of these days, so the total operating hours would be 5212 * 24 = 125,088 hours.
2. **S&P 500**: For simplicity, let's assume 252 trading days per year (which accounts for weekends and holidays). From January 3, 2009 to June 1, 2023, there are approximately 14.4 years (including the start and end days). So, the total trading days would be approximately 14.4 * 252 = 3,628.8 (rounded to the nearest whole number to 3,629). The S&P 500 is open for 6.5 hours per day, so the total hours would be approximately 3,629 * 6.5 = 23,588.5 hours (rounded to the nearest half hour to 23,588 hours).
So, comparing the two, the Bitcoin network has been available for approximately 101,500 more hours than the S&P 500 during this period. This increased availability reflects one of the key features of cryptocurrencies: their ability to be traded at any time, not just during standard market hours.
How about a call to remove both mandates from the Fed?

Statists like Mike Green - whose saltiness toward Bitcoin emerged when Bitcoiners piled against for his lack of understanding while opining incorrectly - continues showing ignorance, now suggesting CBDC’s have come about because of Bitcoiner’s missteps. Dhows that even smart people turn vengeful when Bitcoin exposes their agendas. https://twitter.com/martybent/status/1658579108484218882?s=46&t=GRPfNDp6_6IKlzPgAdGKBA
All this talk about an extra trillion here an extra trillion there… to not forget the scale of the number, when you hear trillion think one million, millions… doesn’t sound do little that way, right? And that it can be printed with such ease — astounding!

The balance of power between people and their governments will never be healthy and primed for prosperity until governments are precluded from taking more than their fair share of the value created by people through their own time, effort and intellect. That is the paradigm shift that must be obtained by the generation now coming of age. Anything short of that dooms us to a dystopian future

New Spain law 2023-8576 mandates that starting Jan 1 2024 all digital assets balances held by individuals and companies and all transactions be reported in detail to local tax authorities — so a register of who owns how much bitcoin their names and addresses custodied in the “capable” hands of the Spanish government (hence Europe given data sharing)… what could go wrong?
Regardless of the sacrifice required to acquire or the price I paid for each of my Sats, I love them all the same. With the passage of time they are each equal to the other in my cold storage
