@saylor This make me sad 34k will never know what security and sovereignty looks like

Bitcoin allows people to own their own money, like cash and gold, without a custodian, and can be used globally. It enables person-to-person transactions on an “innocent until proven guilty” basis, unlike any money that relies on a custodian. BTC has a fixed supply that will never change, allowing me to plan decades ahead without a central banker altering the rules or diluting my value. It also provides a way to capture value from otherwise wasted electricity, a small price to pay for the benefits it offers to anyone. It’s the most net-positive form of money for society since cash. Gold was a natural gift. Bitcoin is an invented gift. It’s arguably the only real way to exit the financial-industrial complex and boycott the harms that traditional financial products may support. How is that a net negative?

@YourFriendAndy @Parasite_wtf Well done Kev…

A person just solved a BTC block on @Parasite_wtf with only 4.8TH 👀 Probably something like a NerdQAxe++ And they just earned 1 full Bitcoin! $76,000 from a $380 home miner. Not bad.

@SoloSatoshi Thanks…..if it’s decent pay I’ll be buying another bitaxe from you….💪

@jcoatesuk I believe it's supposed to be equally split amongst all other miners after the miner that mines the block gets 1 BTC.

Parasite Pool finds block #2. Block 945601 - Subsidy + fees 3.12 BTC | $239,608.95.

@NoLimitGains I highly respect a touch of humility from anyone who has been around a while

Every shitfluencer on here was bearish last month and bullish again this week. Next week they’ll flip back and pretend the last thesis never happened. I went bearish two months ago and I’m still bearish. That’s not going to change because SPX tagged 7,145 or because some account with $163 in their brokerage thinks I’m wrong. It changes when the data changes, not when the price does. I spend hundreds of hours going through flow, positioning, credit, macro, and internals before I form a view. I’d rather trust the numbers than some guy on X repeating whatever thesis is trending that day. Being bearish doesn’t mean I’m sitting in cash watching the market go up without me. If we rip to 8,000 from here I still make money on the way up. I just make less money than if I was heavily invested. And let’s be honest, Trump choosing peace this week instead of violence doesn’t suddenly make these accounts good investors. It made them lucky, and lucky isn’t a strategy you can repeat. Welcome to Vegas. Anyone who’s actually traded for more than a year knows you don’t change your entire thesis every week. You get chopped to pieces doing that. But on here it’s rewarded because the algorithm doesn’t care if you were wrong last week, it only cares what you’re screaming about today. Was I early? Probably. Wrong? We’re about to find out. Last bear standing.

@BobLoukas @m0dest___ Nice… where do you buy quality nfts from these days? Was opensea in 2021?

Picked up these four 1 of 1's from @m0dest___ Been following his development closely (have some other pieces) and impressed with the originality of the pieces and his work ethic and drive.

@SimonDixonTwitt I’m pretty sure Peterson backed up on his comments in some way

🇨🇳🇮🇷🇺🇸🇶🇦 Reuters suggests Washington may release around $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil revenues held in Qatar and other foreign banks. Iran is reportedly pushing for access to much larger sums, with total frozen assets potentially exceeding $100 billion worldwide. Anybody else remember when Jordan Peterson asked Netanyahu to “give the Palestinians hell” and blamed Biden for releasing $6 billion to Iran? 🦗 Now the land is ready to build new LNG pipelines. Remember my comments in week one. Those who were negotiating a deal before the war are the ones still negotiating a deal today. They were not killed. This war was part of the negotiations. Iran’s pragmatists accepted the ceasefire, honored it, and came to the table ready to negotiate, likely trading the resistance axis for a seat at that table. The Gulf states absorbed the hits and immediately shifted to calculating reconstruction terms, renegotiating old contracts, funding new security frameworks, while Saudi Arabia collected record oil premiums throughout the war. The damage wasn’t just destruction, it became a business opportunity. Pakistan repositioned itself from a debt-stricken, unstable state into a central broker of one of the most consequential ceasefires, backed by China. October 7 was meant to happen, and world leaders knew it was coming. It was funded through Qatari banks, and Hamas had an office in Qatar. Qatar is a major U.S. ally, but its LNG future is tied to China, now its largest buyer, locking in long-term supply for decades. The GCC had their U.S. bases targeted so a new world order could be renegotiated, alongside a 70% stake in Golden Pass, a major beneficiary of LNG contracts in Texas, USA. This wasn’t Trump’s plan. This was China’s plan as part of the “Trade War”. Securing energy, brokering influence, and anchoring the next phase of the global order through long-term LNG contracts. This was a managed transition. Trump was funded by Affinity Partners, funded by the Gulf Sovereign Wealth Funds, managed by Jared Kushner (who is negotiating all deals), as well as receiving a Boeing aircraft from Qatar. And I know you may find it hard to believe, but Israel is the major loser. Trump took money from everybody. And that was his goal. The financial industrial complex got new energy contracts and likely got insider information before every social media post. The military industrial complex got a stimulus cheque from one trillion to a trillion and a half. The technical industrial complex will get QE stimulus for their AI & Data centre’s after the recession. The big print will end the dollar as world reserve currency. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz ends the Breton Woods agreement if it opens with a toll. Follow the money. 💰

@AdamBLiv @grok stop showing me the saylor MSTR grift on my feed. I’m not going to ever give my BTC to Wall Street no matter how hard the algo tries to push it

Saylor is winning so hard... this is getting ridiculous and the game is just getting started. What a visionary. Seriously. A man who bought Bitcoin, likely wanted Bitcoin to go to $1 million, and saw the $300 trillion global debt market and thought... "Maybe I should take this?" This is the most exciting story happening in the financial world today and the world is totally asleep. This isn't even being covered by anyone except a few podcasts and some guy who calls himself the Bitcoin Wizard. The headlines that we're going to get are "Michael Saylor's Bitcoin Bet Pays Off as Bitcoin Rises above $100k". We are so early. The amount of wealth that will be generated for Bitcoiners and MSTR shareholders is going to be absolutely absurd over the next decade. Strap in, kids. This will be a gloriously volatile and bumpy ride but ORANGE GLORY awaits.

@ThisiswhyweBTC Short term fools game. No way Wall Street lets you take this margin for very long. They want plebs to stay quiet on low single digits at best

Let me tell you about the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in the history of financial markets.🧡 $STRC , Strategy’s preferred equity, has been trading for less than 9 months. This past week its price ranged from $99.99 to $100.01. Read that again: TWO BASIS POINTS OF VOLATILITY. While paying an 11.50% monthly dividend. A tax equivalent yield approaching ~20% for anyone living in California or New York. The Sharpe ratio doesn’t have a number for this. The formula breaks. The model errors out. The quant stares at his screen in silence. This is not a financial instrument. This is engineering. This is someone sitting down with AI and deciding to build the perfect product and then actually doing it. Michael @saylor and @Strategy didn’t just discover Bitcoin. They discovered Digital Credit, and STRC is its purest expression. A AAA-grade yield machine wrapped in 2 basis points of weekly volatility, trading on NASDAQ like it has somewhere better to be. Finance textbooks will need a new chapter. Then a new book. Then an entirely new curriculum. Because in 2026, a 9 month-old instrument is already eating Wall Street’s lunch. Imagine 2036…. By then, Strategy won’t be a company. They’ll be Godzilla, showing up to the global capital markets playground, breaking every benchmark, every model, every assumption the old world of fixed income ever built its house upon. History is being written. Right now. In real time. 🟢 $STRC $MSTR #Bitcoin #DigitalCredit #Strategy

I’m sorry but this is absolutely ridiculous

@RMessitt I feel bad for all that fall for the bitcoin wrappers gangsters

Quite a lot of UK Bitcoiners got upset at me for suggesting you might not want to gamble your entire pension on this.... C'est la vie... 🤷‍♂️

Great question When a bank issues a loan, it does not loan out deposits. It creates new money as a credit entry     You sign a loan agreement & it becomes an asset for the bank     Bank credits your account & the new deposit becomes new money in circulation Banks are credit creators rather than intermediaries Bank-created money is created with interest Because the interest is not created in the money supply, the system requires perpetual growth, constant new debt or defaults This is why the private credit system is inherently inflationary & extractive over time Governments do not create new money to spend directly They instead issue bonds purchased by banks, pension funds, foreign governments, or the central bank This is government borrowing which is printing by selling promises Government-issued money is also interest-bearing, which means it has the same inflationary dynamic as private bank credit creation Tax serve 3 functions in a fiat system 1 Prevent inflation from excess government spending. If governments printed unlimited money, it would raise spending power without increasing production & create inflation. Taxes remove money from circulation, acting as a drain on the system 2 Give the currency value. If the government requires taxes to be paid in its currency, that alone creates demand 3 Redistribute and fund services. Funding services are not the main monetary reason, that’s the political justification. The monetary purpose is inflation control & currency demand Governments spend money into the economy & taxes destroy part of that money to keep the system alive This is the part people misunderstand the most If new money is printed but does not create new goods, new services, new infrastructure or new real output, then you get more money chasing the same amount of goods, which raises prices Examples:     Money printing for bailouts, war spending not tied to productive output, stimulus without corresponding output growth, interest-bearing credit expansion for consumption This type of money requires taxation to remove excess money & prevent inflation If new money is issued to create new productive output, the money supply increases in proportion to real wealth Examples:    Building infrastructure, funding energy projects, paying workers to produce real goods & services or capital investments with measurable output If production rises faster than money supply, no inflation occurs In such cases, taxation is not required to offset the issuance, because real-world value backs the currency expansion After the Weimar hyperinflation & Great Depression, Germany introduced Mefo Bills in 1934     It was a government-created promissory note issued to construction & industrial companies     They were not backed by gold, not borrowed from banks, backed by future labor & productive output & used to fund public work    Money was issued only when workers produced output     Idle labor was turned into productive labor     Factories, infrastructure & goods increased alongside the money supply    The credit carried no compounding interest & money was created only to mobilize productive capacity, not consumption or speculation When money creation matches real productivity, inflation does not occur Germany reduced unemployment from 30% to 0% in a few years without runaway inflation Inflation problems emerged later only when issuance shifted to unproductive military expansion Today’s system is a public–private hybrid Banks create most money via credit, charge interest & expand the money supply Governments issue bonds purchased by banks & central banks, borrow the currency they themselves issue & tax to control inflation created by both government & private banks The government effectively outsourced money creation to private banks & then taxes you to stabilize the system for banks profit They socialize the losses & privatize the gains. It’s a ponzi scheme & you pay taxes to service the interest on banks debt.

$STRC live on Trading212. Anyone buying?

@nicrypto BTC dropping is a great start to the weekend

Not looking good for Bitcoin. We could be about to break below this bear flag which has formed on the daily. Also note that nearly the exact same fractal was formed in the fake rally from Nov - Jan. What's your next target?

@100AcresRanch Legend 💪

I’m still living in a camper that leaks when it rains. You didn’t see me crying when I had to shovel my panels out everyday for 3 months. No ragrets, I’m on a mission and I’ll do it alone if I have to. Gfy.

@GermanShepLoki @JasonBassler1 Thousands of years!

@JasonBassler1 Ridiculousness Ranchers do just fine without the tech and has for 100’s of years.

Peter Thiel just backed an AI system that can herd 600,000 cows with one tap. It’s called Halter. The system uses GPS collars and behavioral science to train cows to obey algorithmic sound cues while tracking their vitals, location, stress, and compliance. Makes you wonder about the push for “smart wearables.” Tech farming… or beta testing pop. management?

Deleverage your hard money. NOT leverage it. They are trying hard to get your Bitcoin.
