Bitcoin Well

The seed phrase isn't the end of your security stack. It's the beginning. Next Tuesday at noon ET, Bitcoin Well Infinite hosts Becca Rubenfeld and Rob Hamilton from AnchorWatch for a Lunch and Learn on why insurance actually matters for Bitcoin holders. We'll get into the attack surface most stackers ignore: wrench risk, custody failures, miner exposure, E&O and D&O lines for businesses and institutions holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet and how AnchorWatch builds policy around the things a hardware wallet can't fix. Open Q&A at the end. Bring the questions that have been keeping you up. 🗓️ Tuesday May 19 · 12:00 PM ET · Free Register → streamyard.com/watch/PYAEPhde…

@WatcherGuru 🤮

JUST IN: JPMorgan to launch tokenized money-market fund on Ethereum.

@mikealfred Those are rookie Pokemon card numbers.

Rate my portfolio: - $200,000,000 stocks - 4 Pokémon cards - $10,000 emergency fund - $1,200 checking account Would you change anything?

@DocumentingBTC Ours of course!

What bitcoin accounts should more people be following?

@GnosisMacro Right, the us just kills thousands outs it's borders. 🤔

@bitcoinwell Sure, there is corruption everywhere to be certain. I would argue against a moral equivalency between the two. The US hasn't massacred millions of its own citizens through revolution nor famine and for the time being generally respects the rights of the individual.

Ray Dalio is telling you Bitcoin isn't a safe haven. "There is only one gold," he says. Gold mines 1.5% new supply a year. Bitcoin issues 0.83%. The man who wrote Principles for Navigating Big Debt Crises; the man whose fund hedges currency debasement with bullion in Singapore vaults is telling you the asset that's already harder than gold isn't a safe haven. Because central banks won't touch it. That's the point. A safe haven that the central bank approves of isn't a safe haven. It's a permissioned asset with extra steps. Dalio knows this. He raised his recommended Bitcoin allocation to 15% last summer. The press tour is the cover. The allocation is the conviction. There is only one gold. There's also only one asset harder than gold and it gets harder every four years.

@bitcoinwell This is going to be a good one📝! @q_liketheletter @BeccaAmilee @Rob1Ham @AnchorWatch

@GnosisMacro I mean it's no different in the US. Both governments are horribly corrupt. Can't really fault him for that.

@bitcoinwell bloomberg.com/news/articles/… "Dalio has long nurtured relationships with Chinese officials." Can't really invest there without being really friendly with the CCP.

@neil_neiljmason 🤣🤣🤣

@bitcoinwell I know who’s using a $100 bill at the All-You-Can-Eat Buffet.

The General Manager of the Bank for International Settlements, on camera in 2020: "We don't know who's using a $100 bill today. We don't know who's using a 1,000 peso bill today. The key difference with the CBDC is the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability. And we will have the technology to enforce that." He's not warning you. He's pitching it. Cash gives you privacy. CBDC gives them control. They call it "financial inclusion." Carstens calls it absolute control. Bitcoin can't be programmed against you because nobody owns the program. 21 million. No backdoor. No off-switch. No exception clause.

@1rogueeconomist For sure. And Bitcoin is better money.

@bitcoinwell Gold has Industrial use.

Buried in the CLARITY Act markup the Senate is voting on Thursday: a line that bans the Fed from issuing CBDC directly to consumers. That's not a small detail. That's the door to programmable central-bank money being nailed shut from the inside. The Act splits oversight between the SEC and CFTC, protects software developers from money transmitter rules, and writes a framework for stablecoin yield markets that compete with checking accounts paying 0.04%. Tim Scott calls it innovation and certainty. Elizabeth Warren calls it a risk to investors. They call it "comprehensive regulation." The piece that matters is the piece they're not advertising. The Fed loses the direct-issuance lane to your wallet. Permissioned money lost a battle most people didn't know was being fought. Self-custody wins by attrition every time the state tries to draw a new line. Every law that names Bitcoin without controlling it is a law that confirms Bitcoin can't be controlled by law. Thursday's vote is the next checkpoint. Either way the vote goes, your seed phrase still works. Not your keys, not your coins is gospel because the gospel doesn't need a markup hearing.

@Vet_X0 This is the part worth watching. Which jurisdiction writes self-custody protection into law first and attracts the builders? That's the real race.

Very happy to see this in the CLARITY Act ahead of the markup. As long as you don't control user funds by yourself. No registration needed to - just write software - run nodes like XRP Ledger Validators - build self custody tools like Wallets Codified protection for everyone.

@MorphNetwork Stablecoins move value faster within the system. Bitcoin moves value outside it. One solves friction, the other solves the underlying architecture.

Local currency settlement is part of the next payment stack. KRWQ brings Korean won-denominated stablecoin settlement to Morph, adding a new path for businesses operating across payments, treasury, and cross-border flows in Asia. Why that matters ↓

@TheBitcoinConf Replace is a strong word. Will he actually control the same monetary base Powell built? That's the real question.

THE SENATE HAS OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED PRO-BITCOIN KEVIN WARSH AS FED GOVERNOR 🇺🇸 HE IS EXPECTED TO REPLACE JEROME POWELL LATER THIS WEEK 👀

@MartiniGuyYT $116M is the opening bid, not the final offer. The cadence is the story.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy just purchased $116M worth of Bitcoin in the first few hours after US market open. 🚀

@moving_charlie £294M today. £725M in 2037. Meanwhile Bitcoin's supply schedule is written in math, not arithmetic.

That's another £294,591,667 bill for money printing we taxpayers have just incurred. On top of the £725m we borrowed and will have to repay in 2037. Don't listen to the Modern Monetary Theory flat-earthers who tell you printing money is free.

@blknoiz06 The 2017 crowd learned the hard way that sitting on spot through a cycle beats trading the noise. Price at $80K and they figured it out.

2017 crypto twitter used to get excited every time prices would go down bc ppl would be smashing buy spot knowing bitcoin would be higher a few weeks later 2026 crypto twitter only trades 10k market cap coins & starts screeching every time price goes down 2.5%

@BitcoinArchive 1.73% volatility is historically a coiled spring. BTC at $80,434, sitting quiet. History says the next move isn't small.

NEW: Bitcoin 30-day realized/historical volatility has dropped to just 1.73%, lowest level this year. Big moves coming 🚀

@RomanReher The fix isn't taxing the rich more. It's stopping the printing. Every dollar conjured from nothing dilutes everyone holding dollars.

Statt „Reiche“ weiter zu besteuern, während sie ohnehin schon den Großteil der Steuerlast tragen, könnte man die Steuern senken und aufhören, Geld zu drucken. Das wäre die Lösung für diese Probleme. #Bitcoin fixes this!

@moneytalkstweet Tariffs are inflation by another name. Cost Canadians $3B and prices still went up 6%. That's not protecting the dollar, that's paying twice to lose.

Dumb like Trump Research showed (+ common sense) and now the Bank of Canada confirms- the federal government's retaliatory tariffs cost Cdns estimated $3 billion and pushed prices up 6% while doing nothing to advance a trade deal. bankofcanada.ca/2026/05/sparks…

@BitQua That's the ranking. But here's the thing: gold you can confiscate, stocks you can freeze, Bitcoin you can hold in your head. The rankings are right but the reasoning matters more.

Gold first, stocks second, Bitcoin third, and alts last.
