Steve Jobs once said, “You know who shot the iPod? I did.” It was Apple’s best-selling product — and he killed it because he knew it belonged inside the iPhone. That’s leadership. You disrupt yourself before someone else does it for you. We did the same thing when we leaned into Bitcoin. That wasn’t comfortable. It wasn’t a consensus. It was a conviction about where the puck was going. Right now, banks have a choice. Innovate — shoot their own iPod — or lobby to stall the future. History is brutal to incumbents who protect yesterday instead of building tomorrow.

Bank of America has over 15,000 wealth advisers. None of them were allowed to recommend Bitcoin (products) until today. Now they are encouraged to recommend a 1 to 4% allocation beginning January 5, 2026. Yes, these will be ETFs. It's a start. It's also huge.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Bank of America officially recommends clients put up to 4% of their portfolio in Bitcoin and crypto.

One of the best explanations of #Bitcoin I have ever seen.

Trump on bitcoin. Are you comprehending what’s about to unravel? 🤯 x.com/Cointelegraph/…

The US Government is about to put a 200,000 #Bitcoin yearly buy order into the market. Valued at $14bn per annum or $57.4m of daily purchasing. Add this to MSTR’s daily purchase of $20.4m a day. And you have a combined daily “floor” - buy at any level - price of $77.8m per trading day. Which is a “floor” price of $172,889 per mined #Bitcoin. What happens to the long tail on a truly FINITE $75,000 asset when the world knows just TWO players from one country will guarantee you a price of $173,000 for a year - for 5 years? And the next halving? The floor rises to $346,000 per coin. WE HAVE NOT EVEN BEGUN YET.

Wembley. Not as good as the old days.

@TomJenkns Don’t like the price, don’t buy him. Simples

Rasmus Hojlund- £70m Jadon Sancho- £75m Antony- £80m Harry Maguire- £80m Casemiro- £65m Mason Mount- £60m Fred- £50m Hilarious that they think they are entitled to a 6’5 left footed 21 year old centre back from one of the PL’s best defences for £45m in this market

Left: Nigel Farage insults John Bercow on the first day or parliament Right: John Bercow tears into Nigel Farage on gb news "With Nigel, instead of taking it on the chin and recognising that in fact to date Brexit has been a grotesque blunder on the biggest foreign policy mistake in the post war period" "What Nigel wants to do, because he can't abandon the religiosity of his life long support for Brexit, is to blame someone else" "It's mysterious forces. It's a fifth or sixth estate. It's those machiavellian types working night and day to frustrate the will of the British people" "It is nonsense on stilts, and to be honest, I say to you in all politeness and candour: you can do a bit better than that" "Why not start by admitting first that people are poorer, wages are down, foreign direct investment has slumped, sterling has taken a permanent 10% dip, the economy has been hit to the tune of £100 billion a year"
