A new scientific truth is usually not propagated in such a way that opponents become convinced and discard their previous views. No, the adversaries eventually die off, and the upcoming generation is familiarized anew with the truth. - Max Planck #BTC

@MilkRoadMacro What do you expect its Mark Cuban. The guy can wait for BTC to rip to $400k buy it all back and still be better off than all of us. I think he can afford to sell some bitcoin if he wants to. Lol.

Mark Cuban has sold majority of his Bitcoin. Cuban originally bought Bitcoin with one thesis in mind: "It was a better version of gold than gold." A hedge against fiat currency losing its value. When the dollar weakens, Bitcoin should go up. But that thesis just blew up in his face. During the Iran war, when geopolitical risk was spiking and the dollar was sliding, Bitcoin dropped. Gold went to $5,000. Think about what he was expecting. Bitcoin is priced in dollars. When the dollar falls, Bitcoin becomes cheaper for buyers around the world. Global demand should kick in and push the price up. It didn't happen. Gold did exactly what it was supposed to do as a macro hedge. Bitcoin didn't. And for Cuban, that was the line. The whole premise of holding it was gone. He's more disappointed in Bitcoin than Ethereum. He had already written off memecoins as garbage entirely. This matters beyond just one billionaire's portfolio decision. The "Bitcoin as digital gold" narrative has been the backbone of institutional adoption for years. It's the reason pension funds, family offices, and corporate treasuries started buying. If that hedge thesis is broken, the next buyer at these prices needs a different reason to hold. The honest reality: Bitcoin is still trading like a risk asset. It correlates with tech stocks in a downturn and doesn't decouple when it matters most. Gold doesn't have that problem.

@JoeCarlasare because everyday is Bitcoin day Joe

Why are there 9 different spaces that call themselves BITCOIN TODAY 😂

@TheBTCKnight I like the orange coin more.

If you own the S&P500 you own bitcoin. -Tesla, Inc. $TSLA -Block, Inc. $XYZ -Coinbase Global, Inc. $COIN These companies are in the $VOO and eventually that number will grow exponentially. There is a lot in the $QQQ too. Eventually you won’t be able to get away from bitcoin:native

Its a variable yield that will decrease overtime as Bitcoin demand and sentiment climbs. Dividends paid at the companys discretion. The board can adjust and suspend payment at any time theres no legal obligation. Will they? probably not but those are the terms. That said you can prob do the strat and itll still work depending where we are in the Bear/Bull cycle.

Please explain this to me like I'm 8 years old... You can literally get a loan for let's say 5-6% and put it in $STRC and get an 11.5% annualized yield? Is this real life cheating? What's the best reason NOT to do this?

@BTCoptioneer nice bait.

$MSTR is a safer bet than Bitcoin itself. MSTR BTC yield 13% since the bottom in February. This means MSTR outperforms Bitcoin in Bitcoin terms even during bear markets. Why aren’t more Bitcoin maxis buying Strategy?

Bitcoin is on a need-to-know basis. Most people in 1st world nations dont care about BTC because they are financially privileged and have access to bank accounts and brokerages. If you got a savings account and your credit card works and you've never been de-banked or had your money withheld from you or had your bank account frozen/seized, the chances of you getting Bitcoin are very low almost zero. Because you never had any reason to question the system that silently manipulates and robs you via taxation and monetary debasement. You're comfy. When the system is working for people, they are taught and in many cases paid to look the other way. Bitcoin is on a need-to-know basis. There's a reason behind every individual that took Bitcoin seriously, and it always starts with questioning the system. But if the system is all you knew and it did right by you, would you really question it? $BTC #Bitcoin

This question should be a wake up call.

@kit_sats in school. lol.

At what age did you realize the "9-5 until 65" plan was a scam?

@kit_sats People think Bitcoins competing against guys like Visa/Mastercard not realizing its actually designed to replace archaic system like Fedwire and International Bank Settlements. Hal called it in 2010.

Bitcoin Fun Fact: While people complain about layer-1 speed, the Bitcoin network settled over $15 trillion in value last year alone. It’s not a "credit card" competitor; it’s the ultimate settlement layer for the planet.

@Vault256Hash $100k BTC at 2035 would mean Bitcoin has failed its function as a Store of Value. I wouldn't be rooting for that tbh.

everyone screaming 500k 1 million 10 million hardest timeline is bitcoin chilling at 100k in 2035 prediction guys disappear orange pill crowd goes silent hodlers still win by the way 100k is still up from here

@LongTermLuke does your family tell you its a scam/bubble/zero too? mine does. you get used to it after a while.

I started buying Bitcoin in 2020. Everyone I knew told me it was a scam, a bubble, or about to go to zero. None of them have apologised. None of them have bought any either. That's the trade.

@palmbtcX It will also be the most hated stock the entire time. The most hated rally.

We are going to look back and realize $MSTR was the most obvious investment the world has ever seen at these levels.

@CedYoungelman because they said so.

Ok. I'll bite. Why is a $100 bill worth 100 times more than a $1 bill?

@RoaringHammy I buy the $1000+ phone but never paid more than $1000 because of trade-ins. also I like to go a couple years before upgrades.

Have you ever bought a $1,000 phone? 🤔🤔 I don't recall ever spending more than $300 🤣🤣

@SparkingFIRENC are u 5-days in office? mines hybrid schedule and got a standing desk which helps. getting out moving around exercise is crucial, otherwise yeah u end up bedrotting after work.

I can’t tell you how much my 9-5’s take away from my hobbies After 9 hours in a cubicle I don’t even want to do anything but rot

@mechanakamoto Gas station hotdogs

Pick one: Gas station sushi or Gas station BBQ?

@EvanAldo we make our own luck in this life.

No matter how successful you get, part of you will always doubt yourself and think it might have been luck. I'm willing to bet there's even billionaires who think it was all luck.

@mechanakamoto I have somewhere between 1 and 2.1 quadrillion sats

How much bitcoin do you have?

@mechanakamoto a friend and a colleague. the friend I gave a book on bitcoin and he actually read it. I have no idea if he bought or not but every once in a while he'll ask if im still into it. the colleague bought IBIT in his brokerage account and has a DCA running. no one else cares.

What percent of people in your world really care about Bitcoin? I’m talking real life…family, friends…co workers etc How many?

@TheBTCKnight my broke 20 year old self actually bought some bitcoin so my advice to him is dont sell it and figure out what it is.

What investing advice would you give your 20 year old self?
