@big curt Bubbles are traditionally a one and done market phenomena. Think dotcom, shitcoins, etc

Bitcoin itself is not a bubble; rather it’s been a hype cycle driven boom-bust asset, now in it’s 5th cycle of adoption and price discovery. Oversold and overbought at times (mvrv us one way measure this) but calling it a bubble is misuse of the word imo

#Bitcoin feels like it's holding its

breath

Price is pressing right up against the top of that descending channel — you can almost feel the tension.

The Ichimoku cloud's still catching it from underneath

A clean breakout here could light the fuse

But a rejection? More sideways pain

This moment matters.

Something's about to give. #BTC #NOSTR

To the people who tell me this isn’t a bubble.

There are early signs everywhere for people paying attention. @NVK

I produce energy.

.. have a little bit of redundancy and import once. Been offgrid for 11 years. I lived in Hawaii for about six months, Oahu, My biggest problem was everybody I met was leaving.

Volatility is good. We likey.

Paying a property tax of 2% in the state of Texas for example on a home valued at 750k will cost you in upwards of over a million dollars over 40 years.

Take your gooberments, put them on their knees, and bleed them into the streets.

Seriously, contemplating moving to an island where property tax is not a thing. There aren't too many countries that do, but if you were going to have a home base, it would be nice to be sovereign at the least.

Real estate is literally one of the biggest shitcoins known to man

What are everyone's current favorite NOstr clients?

Everyone should increase their quality of life at some point. Otherwise, they’re just in love with having money.

There’s more than enough fables, parables, and history lessons to cover how that turns out.

Utah actually, but I do live about 10 minutes away from the border of Arizona

gentlemen: what does it mean for you to be chosen by (or desired by) a woman?

Texas just became the first U.S. state to publicly fund a standalone Bitcoin reserve. Here's the status update as of June 23, 2025:

---

🔹 Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SB 21)

Signed into law: Governor Greg Abbott approved SB 21 on June 21, 2025 .

Funding:

$10 million has been appropriated for buying BTC .

No cap on total allocation—statute allows unlimited investment so long as BTC’s market cap stays above $500 billion (currently only Bitcoin) .

Potential exists to funnel up to billions (e.g., ~10% of the $21 billion Economic Stabilization Fund ≈ $2.1 billion) .

Governance & Oversight:

Managed by the Texas Comptroller, outside the main treasury .

Backed by HB 4488, which shields the reserve from budget sweeps .

A five-member advisory board of crypto professionals ensures oversight .

Purpose:

Treated as a hedge against inflation and economic volatility .

Biennial public reporting on holdings and performance ensures transparency .

---

🔹 Comparison with Other States

Arizona, New Hampshire: Passed Bitcoin reserve laws, but did not allocate public funds; their reserves remain unfunded .

Texas vs. peers: Texas is the first and only state to commit public dollars and create an independent structure just for BTC.

---

🔹 What’s Next?

1. Initial BTC purchase: Comptroller's office can now move ahead with the first $10 M buy.

2. Future appropriations: Legislature could approve more purchases—potentially scaling into hundreds of millions or billions.

3. Biennial reports: Expect public statements every two years on BTC holdings and performance.

4. Policy evolution: With the cap lifted, further buy-ins hinge on legislative and political support.

---

TL;DR

Texas has launched the first publicly funded Bitcoin reserve, with $10 M ready for purchase and legal frameworks in place for scaling dramatically. Governance is insulated and transparent, using BTC as a strategic financial asset outside normal budget channels.
