"Who voted for this?" #Bitcoin
Buy the dip. Sell the oil, convert to gold.
Turn your dirty profits into sovereign value, exploiting American taxpayers to fund it all.
Institutional capital flows through the path of least resistance, and OSL Group just opened the floodgates to China's sanctioned AI and semiconductor industries. TLDR; when you see the volume of USDGO(U.S. Treasuries) increasing while the U.S. stock market stagnates, it's the smoking gun that capital is fleeing the U.S.
In case you are not up to speed, OSL Group may as well be Ant Group, Alibaba, using Antalpha to custody XAUT (digital gold, settled in Hong Kong). Antalpha is the financial arm of Bitmain (hello Bitcoin).
OSL Group announced the launch of USDGO, a stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasuries and issued via Anchorage Digital Bank (a U.S. chartered bank).
These are not for retail HODLers, these are enterprise grade settlement layers for institutions.
Entities can hold USDGO ("stable", treasury backed) for settlement, then pivot into XAUT (gold backed) via Antalpha for long term reserves that are harder to seize or sanction than pure USD. It's a dual engine liquidity system that bypasses traditional SWIFT based restrictions.
USD and USD stablecoins can be frozen by the U.S. Treasury at the issuer level. If that capital is pivoted into XAUT and then redeemed for physical gold via Antalpha, the paper trail to a U.S.-controlled bank account is severed.
It turns the U.S. Treasury market into the very thing funding its own replacement. I call it, "How to use American tax payers as insurance for your global exit strategy."
So it wasn't inflation. What a coincidence.
Do you have a plan?
While you might laugh at QUBIC for minting 200 trillion coins, Bitcoin has considerably more at 2.1 quadrillion Satoshis.
I'd rather stack QRL, which only needs a low billion market cap to break $1000 returns on $100. No quantum threats, no hard forks needed, institution ready. Just works.
Except all the third party banks between you and the real money. Except the mining pools that could collude on consensus any time. Except the ISP that can block access to the network, ban your node, ban your miner. Except that Bitcoin has been frozen and seized previously. Except KYC makes everything permissioned, then there's AML, which only works because everything is tracked and monitored by default.
Have fun with that.
This virtue is why you'll need alternative coins in a functioning society. Inherently, the collective value of these alternatives will always exceed the value of Bitcoin.
This is what Litecoin shows us. How do you accrue APR without a rate, or APY without a yield?
What's on your mind that nobody is talking about? #asknostr
Bitcoin shows us that fiat is winning. Its value is directly leveraged from fiat assets. Why do you think fiat is failing? Is that what you're being told?
Running a node is only half the battle. You need to mine effectively too. If your miner is not contributing to the network, you are not contributing to the network.
I see this as a symptom of static equity becoming dynamic liquidity. When everything can be verified and sold, the rigidity of traditional finance collapses (like building a tower out of water).
The irony is that Bitcoin, being praised as the solution, exploits the same dollar system for value. Strategy is a direct example. They can only manage to leverage Bitcoin against the dollar, not replace it.
Let’s be real: If you were actually wealthy, strong, and intelligent, you’d be enjoying your life. Instead, you’re obsessing over the deli butcher. It's a personality disorder substituting for actual achievement. Your ego is so fragile, it requires the ignorant and unattractive for a sense of purpose. You've turned your own anxiety into a philosophy.
Truly powerful people are magnanimous. They aren't concerned about the weak and incapable; they're building rockets and solving genetic disorders, literally reshaping the human experience. You could never reach that level, so you retort to punching down.
Until you recognize this as weakness in yourself, the desire to project your own insecurities will consume you. Your own ignorance on full display.
And yet it remains a better store of value than Litecoin (the exact same miners). How could that be, when you're suggesting inflation drives value down?
When you own the liquidity, you own fiat too. Devaluing the dollar only devalues that extension of yourself. You could do a study on Litecoin and Dogecoin too; spoiler alert: the more valuable asset has continuously consistent inflation.
OSL Group’s acquisition of BANXA is currently targeting an effective date of January 2, after the "outside date" for completion was pushed back to January 29.
The acquisition creates a regulated bridge specifically designed to move capital between Western traditional finance and Eastern digital asset markets.
BANXA also picked up QUBIC over the past year (exposure to Africa).
It would be mighty convenient when this merger coincides with markets for Quranium(QRN).
Imagine the fee to live. Healthcare is already unaffordable for so many. Would there be an "Uncompensated Breather" fee, or should they go full extortion and charge up front.
Everyone would see these transactions on chain. They would see the flow of your funds, the farmers funds, and everyone you associate with.
Saving in Bitcoin requires running a miner at expense, and that still doesn't guarantee the security of your funds. Three pools have enough power to rewrite the entire blockchain. I'll say that again, three pools have enough hashrate to rewrite Bitcoin.
Is this a projection of the character you haven't built: calm confidence, being unmoved by external nonsense?
I'm not the one who wrote 6 paragraphs on gender stereotypes and relationships. I'm more interested in the moral courage required to post it.
That's a lot of words to say you've never dated before. To conditionalize women like the electrons of an atom; this is their behavior and how they respond, as if forgetting we're all individuals with personal hopes and aspirations.
Maybe the women you've met behave this way, which says a lot more about the culture you grew up in, or the algorithms you're exposed to. It could also speak on the types of women you choose to engage with, or simply the ones desperate enough to engage with you.
I hope you live long enough to escape the bubble you've made for yourself.
So what you're saying is that I shouldn't actually buy anything, unless I have the tools to profit off volatility like institutions. Tools which aren't being provided or made public.
Clearly you're not reading what I wrote.
NIST is deprecating ecliptic curve digital signatures by 2030, and disallowed in federal agencies by 2035. Institutions are being forced to adopt post quantum cryptography to comply with regulations. Even if Trump established a strategic reserve, Bitcoin's core code would need to adopt PQC, which is a whole dilemma in itself. Either case, it's much easier to sit this one out, invest in post quantum start ups, and wait for banks to issue stablecoins in 2028.
Even if time is discrete at the Planck length, the wave function is real enough at the atomic scale to run Shor's algorithm.
The problem is Bitcoin's logic; nothing exists in between blocks. Its ledger doesn't model entanglement as it exists in reality. The mempool is just a waiting room.
Unless you're moving millions, chains this size aren't necessary. Keeping your cores tight offers the most growth as new money flows in; offers more control over liquidity and price volatility.
I'm guessing Square doesn't provide liquidity services for these poor chaps. 12% of sales, still not bad. I've met some of these people and they don't have a clue.
Can we go back to casino chips? They have a nicer feel.
Normies are still using Bitcoin.
This discussion is beyond me because the opinions of what people need is a personal desire unique to each individual; not something I can speak on. I can assure you tho, the Sentinelese tribe have done a fair job sustaining themselves without any technology, science, engineering or math majors. I doubt they even have an economic model, but it most certainly doesn't involve Bitcoin.
I don't mean to be blunt or apparent, but you aren't even taking your own opinions seriously. Possessing the knowledge and experience of running an IT business to coach tennis. Have you ever considered teaching others what you've learned?
For myself, the resource I lack the greatest are mentors and guidance; because there is no lack of information online.
The relationship between LTC and DOGE should be enough to realize the value of printed money will always be greater than Bitcoin. Even in a trustless system, the asset with consistently constant inflation wins. Bitcoin is the shovel, cash is king.
This is like that "money doesn't buy happiness" nonsense.
Here comes the disappointment. They need to regulate and control this beast before releasing banks to it. Clocks ticking.
