Good morning ☕⬛🌞⬛

The bitcoin quantum FUD is just another iteration of “can the devs do something?!”

A bunch of LARPing by people not close to protocol development who have overlooked that “the devs” have been talking about and researching solutions to this “problem” for years.

It seems to me that general sentiment in bitcoin land is worse now than it ever has been—even compared to the bottom of the last bear market. I think a lot of it is because bitcoin is “not doing what it’s supposed to be doing,” in multiple regards, but imo most importantly because gold is going up and bitcoin isn’t, while USD debasement becomes more and more obvious. I think this happened because the newcomers in the last cycle (wall street) were not mission aligned with the bitcoin mission. They don’t even understand anything about bitcoin. The only reason they bought bitcoin was to make more fiat. All they care about is fiat. So they buy gold for the debasement “trade” and when their paper bitcoin ETF isn’t making them money, they dump it. It’s no wonder this “cycle” sucks.

Streets & buildings on every side, but the wave keeps rolling 🌊 Throw buckets, reset, repeat ⚡🏄‍♂️📷

BITCOIN PRINCED IN TECH STOCKS

If you price bitcoin against Nvidia, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Google and tesla combined you get the following chart.

Bitcoin is below 2017 levels, down 41% FROM ITS 2021 ATH.

Of course I don't see bitcoin as a tech stock but there is people that do and they should be looking at this chart. It's a good proxy anyways.

Bitcoin is cheap AF anyways... If you have ANY of this SHIT stocks then you are financing the modern military industrial complex and you know what you should be doing...

That's right, I'm retarded.

Think it’s on now 🙏

Buy it, build on it, transact on it, and all prices will fall forever against it.

Here's the "No BS" macro news for today.

-The Fed projected, back in early 2024, that they would likely end balance sheet reduction around this time and transition toward gradually increasing their balance sheet in line with nominal GDP (so that banks' fractional reserve lending remains unaffected with current regulations).

-It got pulled forward slightly, perhaps two or three months, by the government shutdown overfilling the Treasury cash account (i.e. sucking cash out of the broader financial system).

-The Fed previously announced they would stop reducing their balance sheet. Today they said they would start gradually increasing it. Powell said the baseline is $20-$25 billion per month, but due to current liquidity shortages and April tax day (which drains liquidity), they plan to increase it by $40 billion per month through April (which afterward in May, conveniently, is when Powell will be replaced as chairman with a presumably more dovish chairman).

-They're focusing on printing money to buy short-term duration Treasuries, not long-term. This is for the financial system, not economic stimulus per se, and so they won't be calling it QE.

-The Fed will now be structurally expanding their balance sheet while inflation is above their own target.

-This is a gradual print scenario. It's bullish for liquidity and liquidity-correlated assets, in general. It's not explosively bullish, but it does lean dovish.

-Nothing stops this train.

What does XXI do?

cloudflare outage stopped the selling

turns out bitcoin does have circuit breakers

Zero NaN - is it that bad? 😂

Activity on here does seem to be dwindling

Anyone got the stats on Nostr growth atm? Feels quieter week on week!

The most radical thing you can do in our current moment is to choose joy over outrage, building over tearing down, hope over cynicism.

When you prioritize your marriage, invest in your children, create excellent work, serve your neighbors, you’re not just living well, you’re demonstrating an alternative vision that’s far more compelling than any political manifesto.

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING

Do you know what soak means?

I was about to go on a rant about middle aged dating “experts” just now and then I realized…

There are so many things wrong with western culture, that it’s not even worth discussing anything in specific.

The best thing you can do is to realize it’s all broken/evil/pathetic/weak/diseased/parasitic/corrupt and to build a new model of life for yourself.

Drawing on established principles from the past and combining them with modern technology and understanding.

When a system is sick and diseased you must step outside of it in order to building something healthy.

By doing so, we can create lives that are resilient, meaningful, and free from the corruption of the old order.

This is less about escape and more about foundation building and embodying a way of living that others can see, feel, and perhaps be inspired to join.

Living is pain.

Most people trade the sacred for the profane and then wonder why their lives are meaningless.

Thinks it’ll pay off his credit cards.

Step one: buy bitcoin

Step two: buy more bitcoin

How many people do you think know that inflation is done on purpose? That it is a process that is by design.

I would guess less than 20% of people know this fact. Maybe I’m wrong and it’s more common knowledge.
