@BTCoptioneer @BitPaine sounds like schroedinger's cat

@BitPaine Quantum fud is a like zombie. It's neither dead or alive.

🪦 RIP $BTC QUANTUM FUD 2009-2026 🪦

@C_Balbin @sentdefender Thought the same lol

@sentdefender Was this Claude Mythos lol ?

According to CNN, citing people with direct knowledge of the situation, a hacker accessed a Chinese supercomputer and was able to acquire a massive amount of data, including renderings of bombs and missiles, advanced simulations, and troves of other data belonging to defense agencies and aviation corporations. The group that the hacker belongs to reportedly accessed the data with the intention of selling it for cryptocurrency, according to cyber experts who have viewed previews of the data.

@tootmcboots @danheld @StevenTDennis No, they have become the de facto necessary alternative to staying in cash and seeing your purchasing power inflated away...which is why everyone's grandma is essentially forced to buy index funds, just for a shot to narrowly beat inflation

@danheld @StevenTDennis stocks and gold aren't being sold to the public as a viable form of currency in 2026

How can it be “inflation-proof” if it’s worth far less than it was last year?

The dread I see from bitcoiners (and the football spiking from the haters) is very short-sighted to me given that since 2022 (right before the BlackRock ETF filing) Bitcoin is up 429%, gold 177%, Silver 350%, QQQ 140%. In other words bitcoin spanked everything so bad in '23 and '24 (which ppl seem to forget) that those other assets still haven't caught up even after having their greatest year ever and btc being in a coma. IMO what happened was the 'institutionalization' narrative got priced in very quickly and ahead of it all actually happening. So it had to take a breather so the actual narrative could catch up to the price. Feel better now? You're welcome.

@kwistenkim @litetraveler4 @ehjovan Called zillenials

@litetraveler4 @ehjovan elder ....

there are lowk two versions of “gen z” the ones with older millennial siblings and the ones without and theres a big difference tbh

@BitBuyer313 Gold ripping is actually so bullish for bitcoin… gives narrative cover and makes it more obviously analogous once it starts catching up.

A lot of you don't seem to comprehend how resilient Bitcoin is, and it's fucking annoying.

@scottastevenson @BloomOne It sounds like “be here now” type presence .. trainable. Feels like you could squeeze a book out of it

@BloomOne I have thought a lot about this myself after being criticized for this kind of behaviour 😂

People do this kind of thing when they feel they are experiencing reality at a high frame rate. It does not feel risky to hold a laptop by a corner if you feel like you have an “agency frame” every half second. It feels risky if you have an “agency frame” every 60 seconds. You’d be betting that a hand you do not have control over for 60 seconds will keep gripping. Our conscious frame rate can vary dramatically throughout the day, and it’s hard to perceive the difference because we can only sample ourselves at our conscious frame rate, we can’t oversample ourselves. People drunk drive because they fail to perceive their slower frame rate. Their frame rate feels normal because it matches their sample rate. But we do get a subtle sense of when we’re “switched on”. Everything seems to go easier, everything feels less risky and more easy to correct. A lot of people toward the autistic side of the spectrum are experiencing reality very granularly with a “high agency frame rate”. This is why their social interactions can seem overly forced and awkward, they can be bad at dancing, etc—because they are exerting conscious control over their body and language at very tight intervals—you get a sense that they are extremely “self aware” and not “letting go”. “Letting go” in the social sense is actually about reducing your agency frame rate. That’s why alcohol is good for socializing and bad for driving. With a reduced agency frame rate our speech and body language feels more natural, less forced. More like we are flowing with the social group mind rather than being an island of constant awkward agency.

@BitmundFreud @BTC_broo

@BTC_broo Bart price action wrecking leverage up and down

At 9:48 EST bitcoin was $87k. At 10:21 EST bitcoin is $90k. This is why you just DCA and HODL.

@haremfinacer @SantiagoAuFund @DonaldW60852684 Perspective, damn

The biggest problem with the debasement trade as a thesis (even though it may be correct) is that it simplifies everything in a way that indicates there is an easy solution. The years ahead are not going to be easy...

@marketnewsnet @StealthQE4 So use a cold wallet then? And how do big funds “control” it? Ownership =/= control

@StealthQE4 Everything Bitcoin was created for originally is no longer applicable. Not anonymous - polar opposite now heavily tracked taxed and traced. Not decentralized - big funds and exchanges control most of it now. Can be seized/frozen by government (except with a true cold wallet)

Bitcoiners who think it takes over the world are retarded. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

@MICH__ELE @MacroScope17 It’s more like an Easter egg for lulz than a market moving event

@MacroScope17 If so, he has an interest in keeping the price low until the acquisitions are completed. Why turn up to PubKey in that case?

It’s been a while since we heard anything about the BTC strategic reserve. Or the US government possibly buying BTC. When something in the market gets very quiet, but you know it hasn’t gone away, it can be a good time to start paying attention. Here’s what I’ve started to watch for. Scott Bessent is a markets guy, a trader by nature. He knows the legislative route to purchase BTC is slow and very public, so it’s likely to get front-run, especially by other nations (I think legislation is very important for long-term reasons, and will eventually happen in some form, but this is solely about price and Bessent’s thinking). It’s not hard to imagine Bessent watching the recent BTC selloff with an opportunistic trader mindset. At some point, would it really be surprising to get a public statement along these lines? “Consistent with this administration’s stated goal of supporting US leadership in technology, the US Treasury has acquired…” Activity by the Exchange Stabilization Fund (ESF) is not disclosed in real-time; Treasury posts annual reports and monthly statements on its website. But as a practical matter, Bessent would certainly make a public statement on this long before it showed up in any disclosure. It’s been hard to forget him showing up for the opening of PubKey DC in the teeth of BTC’s current selloff.

@GlenBradley @Kooondziu @leo75177580 @Bricktop_NAFO You know your shit! And agree it’s generative/sus/slop

@Kooondziu @leo75177580 @Bricktop_NAFO No. The SRT has speed sensors on all four wheels, and wheel slip would register radically different speeds on different wheels, and the ECU would interpret that as slip, and only show the lowest speed, being the front non-driven wheels, not subject to torque slip.

It’s time to face the truth. Not only can’t American cars turn corners, but they also can’t go in straight lines.

I love these dips. These moments of pure terror. Like jumping out of an airplane and feeling the ground fall away. 30% of your net worth gone in a week. Do I cut my losses? What if I was wrong? Doomscrolling through a feed of red charts. Listening to panicked traders call for terrifyingly low numbers. Zero, perhaps? Another mathless blowhard tells us how Saylor is about to be liquidated. This time, surely, is different - or just like all the other times? It’s in these moments, dear bitcoiner, that you earn it. That you learn to tune out the noise, and listen to your conviction. Without them, as it has for the last two years, Bitcoin feels too easy. It cant be a straight line up, or it would already be priced in. These moments are why the future belongs to you, and not to those too timid or too weak to jump onto this orange roller coaster and hold on for dear life. Because you earned it in moments like this. You held on. You bought the dip. You set the floor. Its chaotic. It’s terrifying. It’s nerve racking. This journey we’re on together. But how did you think it would feel, remaking the world?

@DzambhalaHODL This makes almost too much sense

This is a great proposal that creates an SBR funded by tax payments, paid in capital gain free Bitcoin, which is then held for 20 years in the SBR No clue on odds of passing but would be a major milestone

@vldprz @WhalePanda or diversified real estate portfolios

@WhalePanda People rotating capital from Bitcoin to Stocks?

At this point you have to wonder who is still selling billions of Bitcoin while stocks are up 2.5%.

@Gutter___Rat @BitcoinIsaiah first rational comment I've seen all day

Bear market bottoms: 2014: $200 2018: $3,200 2022: $15,500 2026: $58,000 ??? 58k really doesn’t sound that crazy anymore does it.

@TexasBryan @MelMattison1 Good for engagement either way

@MelMattison1 You know Mike is kidding right?

This is the 4th or 5th post like this out of top 25 in my feed. BTC is going to boom next week. Monday, first day of new futures contract, probably up $5k at least. I still see 150k BTC within 3 months.

@MoonriseBill @ErikVoorhees @sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 Yes agreed. Fiat, much like credit probably had some positive externalities like that. I don't know. But I think that overlap will be in stablecoins, which should serve as an extension strategy for US reserve currency hegemony. Have you seen this before? wtfhappenedin1971.com

I haven’t quite made my mind. Up but world hunger declined round the same time fiat was introduced I think it had to do with less scarcity as opposed to the gold standard… most people attribute that reduction to to the introduction of fertilizers but I really do feel fiat hd an impact… I still feel there is place for fiat alongside crypto and what comes next

Billionaires do NOT create wealth, they extract it. Very important distinction to make

@MoonriseBill @ErikVoorhees @sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 haha well I wasn't around but my point is merely that this system isn't sustainable indefinitely, which it sounds like you agree with given china & co challenging it

@PassivActivist @ErikVoorhees @sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 I don’t know where you been since the end of World War Two, but that’s exactly what happened until china challenged the global order

@MoonriseBill @ErikVoorhees @sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 Maybe. Can't violently coerce the dollar into retaining it's purchasing power over the next 50 years though.

@PassivActivist @ErikVoorhees @sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 It’s backed by more then bitcoin
