New essay explaining why permissioned networks are not blockchains, have little in common with them, and offer none of the desired features. Permissioned networks don't have tokens. Permissioned networks can't have smart contracts. Permissioned networks will eventually KYC and censor their users. This is a fairly technical argument, but I stand by it. Going forward, I will refuse to call any permissioned network a blockchain or the assets it contains tokens.

The era of: ‘ trust us, bro we looked into it’ is dead. Feds are going to have to show their work beyond the shadow of a doubt to gain acceptance from the American people. Decades of relentless lies and grotesque abuses of power got us here. We didn’t break the machine, they did. But now that it’s broken, these are the new rules.

Very interesting to see these unique details about Japan’s MetaPlanet’s long term bitcoin strategy… not just copying Saylor…
vincent@vincent13031925

English Version Part 1: In a recent interview, Metaplanet $MTPLF CEO @gerovich mentioned that they do not merely want to be a company that passively holds Bitcoin, but are planning to turn Bitcoin into the core collateral of the future global financial system, ultimately building a Bitcoin financial empire. This conversation clearly lays out a phased roadmap for expansion. I’ll first briefly outline the two phases, then analyze in detail how acquiring a bank and integrating Bitcoin ecosystem companies could profoundly impact the company’s future: ⸻ 🟢 1. Overview of the Two Phases 🔹 Phase 1: Bitcoin Gold Rush •This is the current phase, focused on accumulating Bitcoin as rapidly as possible. •They are not concerned with short-term profits or share price fluctuations. •The key KPI: the scale of Bitcoin holdings. •Metaplanet’s strategy: •Issuing common shares (equity issuance) •Leveraging a high mNAV premium to raise capital •Converting funds directly into Bitcoin reserves Essentially, this phase is about monopolizing the scarcest asset first. ⸻ 🔹 Phase 2: From Holding to Leverage & Financial Infrastructure •Estimated timeline: 3–7 years in the future. •By then, Bitcoin will likely be formally recognized as collateral by banks in Japan and globally. •At that point: •Banks will offer custody services for Bitcoin •Bitcoin will be used as collateral for low-cost financing •Bitcoin will circulate in the banking system like bonds or equities Bitcoin will evolve from “digital gold” into global liquidity capital. ⸻ 🟢 2. The Profound Impact of Acquiring a Bank and Ecosystem Companies Simon stated clearly in the interview: “Once you hold a large amount of Bitcoin as an asset, you can raise low-cost financing, and even acquire a bank. You can also invest in or acquire other Bitcoin-related businesses.” This reveals two major strategic ambitions: 1️⃣ Directly incorporating a bank into their structure 2️⃣ Integrating other companies in the Bitcoin ecosystem In other words, their roadmap includes: •Acquiring a bank or financial institution •Embedding BTC reserves into the bank’s balance sheet •Acquiring wallet providers, payment companies, custody platforms, and exchanges •Building a three-part closed loop of “assets + credit + infrastructure” This would transform the company in three revolutionary ways: ⸻ 🌟 1. From Asset Holder to Capital Creator •If you only hold Bitcoin, you still rely on external banks to borrow against it. •If you own the bank yourself: •You can design Bitcoin-collateralized loans, staking products, and notes •You are no longer dependent on traditional banks for credit •You fully control rates and liquidity •If you also acquire wallet and payment companies: •You control user flows and the transaction layer •Bitcoin becomes the core settlement and payment mechanism within your ecosystem This is equivalent to owning both “the printing press” and “the payments highway.” ⸻ 🌟 2. Creating Multi-Layered Revenue Streams In the future, Metaplanet would evolve beyond “Bitcoin capital gains” to five major sources of income: •Capital appreciation: the long-term rise in BTC price •Net interest margin: profits from bank lending •Fee income: custody, staking, transaction fees •Derivative income: innovative Bitcoin financial products •Ecosystem monetization: wallet, payments, and exchange fees + user asset float This is similar to how Berkshire Hathaway uses insurance float to invest—but even more integrated with end-users.
