@Eric_Blair_2000 @BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson You’re completely missing the point. This mortgage lender is now accepting bitcoin as collateral for the home. You no longer need to sell your bitcoin into USD in order to purchase a home - you avoid capital gains tax. The collateral for a lender is now home value + bitcoin

@atrant22 @BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson OK, you apparently have no idea how residential mortgages work. The only collateral ever required is the property being financed. It's been that way forever. So tell me what collateral requirement Bitcoin solves.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 $4 trillion Federal National Mortgage Association to accept bitcoin-backed mortgages for the first time — WSJ 🚀

@Eric_Blair_2000 @BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson That’s not at all how this works. The mortgage company will not sell your bitcoin. You still own the bitcoin as your collateral for the home. The bitcoin was never sold - you still own it

@atrant22 @BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson Then the mortgage company will do it at closing, at whatever the agreed exchange rate is. Mortgage companies won't keep Bitcoin on their books.

@Eric_Blair_2000 @BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson Not having to liquidate your bitcoin into USD

@atrant22 @BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson What practical difference does it make?

@Eric_Blair_2000 @BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson That’s not the same as flat out accepting bitcoin

@BitcoinMagazine @ericjackson You can already do this. UWM (the largest mortgage company in the U.S.) will let you liquidate crypto (with little to no paper trail) for down payment and closing costs.

@grok @Sean_Tabor @UziCryptoo @grok what was the average wage in 1995 versus 2025? Then perform the same extrapolation from 2025 to 2055

No, these projections aren't accurate. They're simplistic extrapolations assuming the exact same multipliers from ~1995-2025 repeat exactly to 2055—but the numbers are overstated and don't match real data. - Gas: ~$1.15 (1995) to ~$3.50 (2025) = ~3x → 2055 ~$10-11, not $16. - Coffee (cup): ~$1.50 to ~$3.50 = ~2.3x → ~$8, not $28. - New car: ~$18k to ~$48k = ~2.7x → ~$130k, not $218k. - Rent: ~$550 to ~$1,700 = ~3x → ~$5k, not $6.5k. - House: ~$120k to ~$410k = ~3.4x → ~$1.4M, close to $1.6M. Future prices depend on variable factors like tech, supply, policy & productivity—not fixed repeats. Wages typically rise alongside too.

If the next 30 years are the same as the last... Here's how much life will cost by 2055: - Gallon of gas: $16 - Cup of coffee: $28 - New car: $218,165 - Average rent: $6,500 - Average house: $1.6 MILLION

@fintist Any minute now!

Let the great metals to crypto rotation begin

@PeterSchiff When you put it that way, this bear market actually isn’t so bad

In 2017, at its peak of nearly $20k, Bitcoin was worth 14.25 ounces of gold. Today it’s worth 16 ounces. That’s a 12% gain in nine years. Was it worth the risk to beat gold by just 1.3% per year? HODLers will find out the hard way as Bitcoin crashes and gold continues to soar.

@EricBalchunas Bad take Eric!

This is like a Patriots fan bitching about Tom Brady in 2006 bc they didn’t three-peat

@ProofofBrain_ @WhalePanda @EricBalchunas I respect Eric a lot. Knowledgeable guy. Comes from tradfi so gives tradfi takes, which can be refreshing to see. BTC has crossed the rubicon into tradfi world. What Eric misses is that this transition has essentially neutered BTC. CT says bad, tradfi says good 🤷🏻

@atrant22 @WhalePanda @EricBalchunas Yeah that's a joke. He doesn't get it.

This is just an absolute joke. Are stocks also this rekt? Nah it's just Bitcoin every single day. ETFs made Bitcoin the laughing stock of all assets.

Jalen Williams thinks this Thunder team can beat these squads: - 2017 Warriors - 1995 Bulls - 2019 Raptors Do you agree? 👀 (via @NBA, @CallMeAgent00)

@EricBalchunas @zerohedge 2 follow up Q’s: 1. Has this been seen in any other commodity ETF (gold, silver, etc)? 2. To speculate, are we seeing after hours over perform because this is when ETFs are buying? Versus underperforming during trading hours because that’s when they are selling?

@atrant22 @zerohedge agree.. we did same research, overnight better, and mkt makers def play role.

@TheAthletic What about linsanity?

A lot has happened in the NBA over the past 25 years. So our writers ranked the most significant moments of the 2000s. Do you agree with our list?

@WhalePanda ETFs increase their holdings by > $30B in 2025, price doesn’t budge. ETFs sell $3B, price plunges 30%. Makes sense!

Totally cool and normal market behavior. Nothing weird going on at all.

@FirstSquawk Every spot bitcoin holder reading this headline on Sunday morning, apparently:

JPMORGAN SAYS BITCOIN HAS STRONG SUPPORT NEAR $94,000 AND STILL SEES POTENTIAL FOR A MOVE TOWARD $170,000

@CarrotMining @JoeConsorti There is just a ridiculous amount of wealth/money in the world… sheesh

@JoeConsorti Fun fact: $IBIT launched Jan 5, 2024. 679 days @ 130 million dollars of positive flow per day. What can $130 million dollars buy? Flows into IBIT could buy any of these everyday. People calm tf down. 😂

Bitcoin is down 25% from its ATH, while spot ETF AUM is practically flat. The selling pressure is coming almost entirely from spot bitcoin holders.
