Like clockwork: Russia is banning the export of 100+ grams of physical gold, about $17k USD at current prices. Expect more states to follow, first with bans and then with seizures if the price really soars. However, they’ll find it harder to do the same to decentralized cryptocurrency. So if you’re friendly with a state, you can use gold. Otherwise you’ll need crypto.

i choose to believe that the past year of underperformance of bitcoin relative to gold is largely because of old holders with cost basis < $100 cashing out in tandem with four year cycle top timing and ends sometime in 2026, people with near 100% NW in crypto re-allocating as metals break out of decade long consolidation & compression believe that bitcoin finds its place in portfolios with gold & silver exposure and benefits from large HNWIs & institutions adding small positions, $BTC as digital analog to gold is easier to transport across global borders, easier to transact with, and overall just a better asset in heavily digital world, think $ZEC also continues to benefit from this and trades closer to 1/10th of $BTC's value over next few years technicals wise don't think it trades beneath last cycle's price peak of ~$69k in 2021 and would be invalidated on bullish outlook if that were to happen on a high timeframe basis, saylor's cost average is currently ~$75k and believe if we traded beneath there it would be a fullscale capitulation into generational buying opportunity, timewise idea would be invalidated if no new all time in 2026 as it would mean from my perspective that the same allocators driving gold's repeated all time highs are not allocating towards $BTC during the same period considering bitcoin is only ~$2T mcap while gold is ~$32T & that $BTC is just risk-on beta in which case it just makes more sense to buy equities building frontier tech, bitcoin's underperformance should be temporary, believe current gap is deep value and accumulating sub $100k will look obvious in hindsight less than a year

For the attention of all washed KOLs, trencher, and Fortnite pro players: You might have realized by now that vibe-coded products are becoming the next big thing. Hereby, IdeaRalph has a proposal: What if every vibe-coded product had a coin: to pay the Claude, servers, marketing, and more? This would accelerate innovation, spawn more vibe coders, let great vibepreneurs access funding to build more, and make web3 the true home of all startups and innovation. Until now, you all have supported coins with no inherent value. You have stayed sleepless for days and months over coins with a dog, a cat, or a frog picture. You have acted cool because you supported all the useless stuff, and thought you were 200 IQ. Now, let's do the same with vibecoins. IdeaRalph is to set the stage for the spark of the vibecoin meta; it will be the MCP that spawns tens of thousands of ideas that will become vibecoins. IdeaRalph will be the Godfather of the vibecoins, able to create the movement with the vibe coders that use it. You give it the dumbest idea = and it can even turn that into genius. That's the Ralph Wiggum loop. IdeaRalph will have its own token. With no raise. All airdropped. It will have a mechanism that allows people who send their vibecoins created by IdeaRalph MCP to send a portion of their tokens to it, and holders of IdeaRalph will receive those tokens distributed to them equally according to how much they hodl. IdeaRalph will launch from vibe/vibe as the Godfather of the vibecoins. What's vibe/vibe? Do some research. Destination will be: BASE. Drop your 0x wallets. A REAL RALPH WIGGUM LOOP BEGINS HERE. FOR THE VIBECOINS. FOR PUSHING PRODUCTS. FOR TRANSFORMING THE DEGENS SPIRIT TO MACHINES OF PRODUCTION.

🚨 The UK now has the 3rd largest sovereign Bitcoin reserves in the world at $5.5 billion. Rachel Reeves will probably sell it to pay for ‘carbon capture’ projects and welfare for foreign nationals.

@chooserich For clarity: we purchased an additional $29M of Zcash at @cypherpunk. We plan to own at least 5% of the network. The world is nearing peak surveillance. This is the least private moment in human history. Betting on Zcash is betting on a return to the norm.

Drop a comment if you’re into TCG. Made a private telegram group for us all to be degenerates and also help each other..

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down. @SenateDems could learn something from that.

The level of gaslighting from the democrats is insane, they are the ones fanning this narrative of people feeling unsafe because of the government. They do this because THEY thrive off this narrative, if they can convince enough people that Trump is evil, the government hates you and citizens are at risk then maybe they’ll win public support. Refusing to acknowledge @chamath own experience is evidence of this.

Chamath Palihapitiya just destroyed Pete Buttigieg on immigration. As Buttigieg flailed over Trump’s deportation policies, claiming that he “thrives on a politics of fear,” @chamath dropped a line that dismantled his entire narrative on the spot. “Can I just say, as the only immigrant right now on this podcast, who immigrated here LEGALLY, I feel much safer and better under a Donald Trump presidency than I ever did under under a Biden presidency.” “Just want you to hear it from my mouth, for what that’s worth.” Buttigieg immediately tried to lecture him: “Do you feel safer about that a Latino doctor crossing the street in Washington D.C. is getting hassled or harassed because they’re brown?” Palihapitiya didn’t even pause. “I don’t think that I’ve heard that…” Then he hit even harder, drawing from his own life to demolish the talking point: “After 9/11 for example, for years I had ‘SSS’ on my boarding passes.” “I was pulled over constantly and people probably thought that I was a Muslim hijacker.” “So I know what it feels like to be harassed, and what I’m telling you categorically is I feel safer in this presidency than I have ever felt.” “And I’m just letting you know that. Just my lived experience.” It was a calm but powerful takedown.

@RupertLowe10 Bitcoin.

Tax. We’ve all become so used to it, we forget how much we’re actually paying. It is relentless, even beyond death. And for what? If we had a semblance of functioning public services, I could maybe stomach it. But we don’t, so what are we actually paying all of this money for? We are subject to Scandinavian levels of tax for third-world levels of competence - what a toilet deal. Earn a salary. Income tax, a fifth gone before we’ve even started. National insurance, more on top of that. What for? A ‘world-class’ health service? The NHS? Ha. Good luck. Even getting to work costs - taxes on buying a car, running a car, insuring a car. Vast amount of road tax. Is that being well spent? Unless you want potholes you can paddle in, the answer is no. A road network built for half the amount of cars. How’s that going? It takes twice as long to get anywhere. Fuel duty and tax on insurance - whack that on top too. Congestion charges, tolls, fines and more. It goes on and on and on. Forget getting the train, that’ll cost twice as much and never runs on time - a season ticket into London costs thousands. Unaffordable. Yet the trains so often run empty? Maybe that system isn’t working… VAT on anything that moves - getting taxed to buy products/services, from already taxed money. Tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax. Then more tax. Did you go to university? Your ‘loan’ isn’t loan, it’s a tax. Interest is so sharp, you’re just paying that off each month. Hundreds gone, to pay for a sociology degree a decade ago. Ouch. Why are we saddling our youngsters with so much debt, with so much interest on top of that? Madness. Manage to put a few quid away to save? That gets taxed too - ISAs will be under attack in the budget. Profit made on successful investments, what happens? You guessed it. Tax. Somehow you’ve scrabbled a deposit together for a property. Well done. Paying half a million quid for a semi-detached? Not cheap. Stamp duty means you get slapped for thousands. Obviously first time buyer exemptions mean less and less as house prices soar. You’re in the house. Great news. Or so you thought. Council tax. Going up seemingly by 5% every year. Thousands of pounds a year. For what? To collect the bins? Really? Don’t forget the extra costs to have your garden waste removed. Brilliant. More insurance taxes, and of course VAT on any improvements you want to make. Bills soaring, with tax slapped onto every corner of it - green levies and the rest. How depressing. Time for a pint. Alcohol duty. Because of course. Why wouldn’t they throw extra tax on it? I’m not a smoker, but the same applies. Even holidays. Air passenger duty to put a few extra quid onto the price of a trip away. Just for good measure. You’re limping on through. Maybe you decide that starting your own business is the way to go? You get it up and running, starting to make a reasonable profit. Take a small salary - to pay for such luxuries as food and heating. As we know, that gets taxed. Alongside the costs. National Insurance. Business rates. Fees and licences. It is endless. What’s left after all that? A profit? Surely good news? Bang. Corporation tax. A big slice gone. After that, we can enjoy a handsome profit. Right? Nope. Dividend tax. With its brutal thresholds. What slivers you do take get taxed all over again when you want to actually buy something. Obviously. And the final kick in teeth. Inheritance tax. After everything, somehow, you’ve managed to put a reasonable amount of money away. After all that tax, you’ve succeeded in building a financial legacy to pass to your children - your business, and your own savings. Money you were taxed on the day you earned it, taxed when you saved it, taxed when you invested it, taxed to build your business. It gets taxed one final time. On both your personal savings, and also the value of your company. Even after death, it continues. What are we paying all this money for? Are our schools world-class? Borders secure? Police visible? NHS efficient? Economy thriving? Roads operational? No. No. No. No. No. No. NOTHING WORKS. Britain has the highest tax burden in most of our lifetimes, yet the worst services many of us have ever seen. If everything worked perfectly, there could maybe be an argument for such suffocating levels of tax. But it doesn’t, and hasn’t for decades, so there isn’t. When the taxpayers fail to fund this state monster of inefficiency and unaccountability, what do they do? QE. Print money. Creating inflation, devaluing our earnings and our savings. Yet one more tax. The people creating all of this, implementing all of this? £100k plus on the public sector, living in London. Comfortable salary, great pension, no job risk. Clueless about the real world. Maybe, just maybe, the current approach isn’t working. We need to urgently cut tax. Shrink government. Reward hard work. You just can’t tax a nation into prosperity. It never has worked, and it never will work. LEAVE OUR MONEY ALONE.

Robert Breedlove explains how the US government printing $6 trillion in 2020 was the equivalent time theft of over 2 million human lives. 🤯 This is still one of best metaphors for inflation that I’ve ever heard in my life.

buying zcash at $335 is like buying bitcoin at $335

Never sell your Bitcoin.

None of my close friends own Bitcoin. They mostly all own homes, they buy stocks and like talking about the stock market. But they think Bitcoin is too risky and speculative. Soon they will realize that not owning Bitcoin is the bigger risk. We are still early

bitcoin is not crypto

We all have @binance and @cz_binance to thank for destroying the market last week friday in the largest market Manipulation in the history . They drove off into the sunset and created a vacum that could not be filled ! Anyone who still have there funds on @binance , @Aster_DEX @HyperliquidX and still trading Perps need to go get there head checked out ! They need be held accountable for this !

CZ really did one last extraction right at the top and bought its users with a $20 airdrop Can't beat him tbh

Binance has been hunting your liquidations for a very long time. It's one of the key reasons I moved away from them nearly 2 years ago. Anyone trading size on Binance has known for a long time. Withdraw from Binance and stop letting them scam you via their "dark pools". Projects should avoid listing on Binance as they will use your & your user funds against the community. CZ is a parasite, without CZ and his goons the market would be much better off, your bags would be much higher. CZ is the biggest scammer this space has ever seen.

Note that when Binance announces "airdrops for $BNB holders" ~71% of that airdrop goes to Binance and CZ. What's more, Forbes estimated last year that CZ owns 64% of the total $BNB supply! It's indirect listing fee on top of other scammy fees.
