You are contorting words and definitions to rationalize your own economic incentive, falsely suggesting there is not objectivity (merely different frames) and you have a misunderstanding about volatility. Bitcoin is volatile because it is in the process of being adopted as a new form of money. Every new adopter is pricing bitcoin for the first time, with limited information. The volatility you are trying to engineer around is circular in its logic. The only path to stability is through mass adoption, which necessitates volatility (new adopters pricing it for the first time). Bitcoin will not be volatile when incremental adoption can only represent a fraction rather than a multiple or order of magnitude. Rather than helping people understand bitcoin, your solution is to get them into a bitcoin derivative product that you're selling as not volatile but it will be in any event of market stress, maybe less so than bitcoin but still volatile because it is expressly and inextricably linked to bitcoin and bitcoin adoption. When the bitcoin price goes down significantly, there will always be an incentive to sell your preferred and buy bitcoin because the market interest rate of bitcoin has reset higher when it declines. And related to that is why there's no real long term holder basis for the preferreds (it's a temporary holding pen for everyone) but it does create a permanent capital base for your corporation, if you can sell it. Rather than help people understand bitcoin and manage volatility very logically with an allocation to bitcoin that mutes its volatility, you want people to buy your corporation's stock. And the piece about bitcoin payments is a misnomer. It's a spend vs. save dilemma and spending bitcoin is downstream from someone first coming to understand why bitcoin stores value. But you do not have an incentive in that because you're just trying to justify people buying your corporate stock rather than bitcoin. I'd encourage you to be introspective and to read this piece on volatility to reconsider your rationalization. nakamotoinstitute.org/library/gradua…

@parkeralewis In a hyberbitcoinzed world you wouldn't need preferred stocks that pay fiat you would just transacts in SATs. Am I missing something here or are these speculators just here for the fiat gains and overlook the sound money freedom that #bitcoin is embedded with.

The psychosis is real! We will not get hyperbitcoinization without buying SEC regulated public company common equity and preferred stock rather than bitcoin.

@AnthropicAI $TAO me all about it!...

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

@Washigorira Feels very 2022 bear market so i am DCAing on steroids right now.

$Bitcoin can still move lower or range. Yet both structure and momentum are starting to resemble previous cycle bottoms.

I’ll admit I’m not up to date on the diversification of Adobe. But what they have, like Premiere Pro and Photoshop, already has cheaper AI counterparts. Why would I use Adobe Firefly (their AI) when other models do the same for less? There’s a lot of uncertainty with AI making software obsolete in some aspects.

@BryanBTC_eth @NoLimitGains Adobe is not just stupid PDF creator. 🙄

The man who predicted the 2008 collapse just doubled down on 2 deeply beat-down stocks. Here’s what he bought:

Did you ever notice... in these crazy upside-down times, the most rebellious BADASS thing you can do is follow Jesus? What strange days, my brothers and sisters. Right there with it? Buying #Bitcoin 50%+ off the highs — staring down the fiat overlords (those modern money-changers) working for satan trying to shake you out. Keep the faith. Stack the sats. This is how free men resist

@Washigorira Aww my one and only #altcoin. Seriously not $SOL not $ETH, just $TAO and $BTC.

bittensor:native Surge +16% 🚀 TAO is already doing what Bitcoin is trying to do.

@IanMalcolm84 @SenWarren irst time seeing this one, and I literally had a huge smile on my face when I saw it 🤣 Henry Ford brother. Back when men were men.

@SenWarren Maybe, we need to revisit Henry Ford’s comments on stakeholder capitalism, and how employees, not capital, should benefit from company successes? While at it, maybe we should consider some of his other positions?

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.

@SenWarren Have you done the math with Pelosi-style insider trading factored in? I’m sure that would even it out for you. Personally, I would rather you and your cronies stop politicians from insider trading than focus on someone else’s wealth. But hey, that’s just me.

@NoLimitGains He’s the first public trillionaire. The 13 families full of trillionaires who hoard the planets resources would like a word…

It blows my mind how many people are complaining that Elon became the first trillionaire. First, most of it is paper wealth tied to equity in his companies. He could not turn it into real cash without dumping shares, which would crash the price and shrink his net worth massively. “But he can borrow against his shares.” Sure he can. That does not make him richer. A loan still has to be paid back, the shares stay pledged as collateral the entire time, and if the price drops he gets margin called. He’s just leveraging paper. You would be much richer holding $1 million in cash than owning 25% of a company worth $4 million, even though both equal $1 million on paper. Second, come on. He actually changed the world. A lot of these people complaining drive electric cars because they care about emissions. Those cars would not be mainstream if Elon had not built Tesla. Millions of people in rural and remote areas have internet because of Starlink. SpaceX is the only reason NASA is not still paying Russia to send astronauts to the ISS. You can hate the man. You can hate his politics. But pretending he is not one of the most consequential entrepreneurs of our lifetime is just dishonest.

Is it time to nibble? I feel like I can hit the next bull cycle without ethereum:native in my portfolio. As #Bitcoin is like the S&P 500 of crypto meaning just that one investment can represent exposure to the whole crypto space as $BTC is what really moves the whole #crypto market.

#ETH Channel support hit 🎯 Holding so far.

@LawrenceLepard @idahohodl @btcbourne The road to a sound money victory will not be a straight line but rather a back and forth of momentum, patience, and long term vision.

You don’t see it. He is Machiavelli and Sun Tzu rolled into one. He is involved in a financial war with the largest criminals on the planet: the Fiat Lords. You think he isn’t going to fight somewhat dirty? You think his strategy (pun intended) isn’t going to evolve? He wants to win. And I believe for the right reasons. I believe his motives are pure and I trust him. A sound money world would massively benefit mankind. Can you nit pick some moves. Sure. But don’t lose sight of the big picture.@saylor @CJ_Bitcoin

How does Saylor becoming "the richest man in the world" belie the "piss on our head and tell us it's raining" shit he did this week? It means his lying about his philosophy ultimately didn't matter? I suppose... but this kind of hubris/bad karma rarely ever ends well.

@FinanceLancelot I only put $1000 in and I can't imagine more than that. I heard of others putting in 10's of thousands of dollars even 100's. Good luck to them, vaya con dios.

I probably won't be posting much today. The SpaceX IPO is actually boring AF What's really interesting will happen 3 weeks from now.

@LawrenceLepard @ttmygh I hope so nothing better than a Bitcoin maxi being the richest in the world. But i also wonder how his huge stash held by custodians could be seized 6102 style by big brother government in crisis. Rather be optimistic and wrong on this one.

@ttmygh You folks are all going to eat crow when Saylor is the richest man in the world in the 2030’s. Bookmark it.

4/4 Not. Your. Coins. Self-custody or get ready to get bodyslammed! Stack sats, hold your keys like a real man! Tell the suits to snap into a cold one — because the Macho Man Randy Savage of Bitcoin ain’t playin’ around! Drop a 🔥 if you self-custody like a champion. #Bitcoin

3/4 Same damn scenario brewin’ with Coinbase and $COIN prime custody. You think those pretty apps are your fortress? Dig deeper, digger! Whose name is on the deed when the heat turns up? Not yours, brother.

Thread on Self - Custody 🧵 1/4 In the back of my mind, I always knew it was comin’… You ever notice how “they” — those slick suits in the ivory towers and regulators with their clipboards — keep eyein’ your Bitcoin like it’s their next meal ticket? Oh yeah, brother! 🔥

In the back of my mind, I always knew it was comin’… You ever notice how “they” keep eyein’ your Bitcoin like it’s theirs? Oh yeah, brother! They’re gonna try and SEIZE that #Bitcoin NOT in self-custody. Not your keys? Not your coins, pal. Same story brewin’ with Coinbase and $COIN prime custody. Think those apps are safe? When the heat hits, whose name is on the deed? Not yours.
