"The short term price of Bitcoin is now controlled by Wall Street. And they want your Bitcoin." Simon Dixon (@SimonDixonTwitt) spent a decade watching the same institutions that dismissed Bitcoin quietly move to capture it. He came on to explain the plan for the coins you're holding and the one move they can't stop. "They don't want you to self custody it. They want you to borrow against it. They want you to trade perpetual futures." His framework is sovereign vs subordinate: either you hold Bitcoin you can access with no permission from a bank or a broker, or you're in debt to the system for everything you own. We cover: - Why Wall Street now controls Bitcoin's short-term price and what they actually want with your coins - How Bitcoin gets captured: custodians, ETFs, lending products - The unrealized gains tax and how it's used to strip assets - Why he says you cannot vote your way out of this - Where you actually sit on the sovereign vs subordinate spectrum - Why self custody is the one thing they can't touch Thanks to Simon for coming on @new_era_finance.

It doesn’t get more obvious than this




#Bitcoin / bitcoin:native Chop a bit more into the end of the summer, then wick to the high 30s / low 40s in late August or early September and print the bear market lows. Buy the fear, and run it back to new all time highs in 2027.
