About to be another record day of Bitcoin buying by the $STRC ATM. 1038 BTC already! What a time to be alive. STRC.live

The petrodollar was built on one premise: you need dollars to buy oil. Iran is currently controlling the Strait of Hormuz, 20% of global oil supply, and charging a $1/barrel transit toll. They're not accepting dollars. They're demanding Bitcoin. A sovereign state is bypassing SWIFT, bypassing sanctions, and bypassing the Fed entirely. They assess the cargo, issue the toll, and give vessels seconds to pay in BTC. Wall Street is still debating CPI prints and rate cuts. They're completely missing the signal: a nation-state just repriced access to the world's most critical energy chokepoint in absolute scarcity. The country the US cut off from SWIFT in 2012 spent a decade building Bitcoin infrastructure. The sanctions didn't break Iran. They accelerated Bitcoin adoption. You can't print more Bitcoin to get your tankers through the strait. You can't sanction a math equation. You can't freeze the wallet that collected the toll. The petrodollar was born in 1974 when Kissinger tied oil to the dollar. It may be dying in 2026 in the Strait of Hormuz, settled in seconds on a timechain nobody owns.

FOUR things that everyone here should HATE that Trump did (if you like actual freedom): 1. Zero justice with the Epstein files. I mean what the heck... Sexually abusing and eating babies and no arrests? 2. War with Iran. Don't promise no more wars if you are planning on starting WW3 and don't threaten to commit genocide on Twitter. 3. Selling out to Israel. I don't care if you are Christian, Jewish or any other religion—if you are a US president your priority is the US. 4. Privacy. He is obliterating privacy with Palantir. Stop pretending this is for anything else other than intrusive data collection on civilians. And to top it off, in his last Palantir tweet he put in the stock symbol. What else am I missing?

Purchasing Power of Bitcoin in one image

PRESTON PYSH: If Bitcoin "goes to $1 million, it's going to $10 million, it's going to $100 million, it's going to look like a Zimbabwe note of 100 trillion units."

What a wild timeline we live in. It's really happening, isn't it? The #PetroBitcoin

As @saifedean brilliantly explains in The Bitcoin Standard: when your currency loses 3-4% yearly, saving becomes mathematically irrational. Prudence (the cardinal virtue that orders all the others) requires a future worth saving for. Fiat severs that link. The result? You get a generation that: -Can't delay gratification (no point) -Accumulates debt (incentives are inverted) -Collapses into hedonism (present consumption seems like the only rational move) -Loses the ability to build — children, communities, skill, institutions

Gm gm! This was definitely an unexpected use case, but Iran demanding Bitcoin for Hormuz tolls proves that BTC isn’t just for speculation. It shows that Bitcoin is the only currency that’s truly censorship-resistant, unstoppable, neutral, and borderless.

There was $2.4 billion in spot Bitcoin ETF volume today, Morgan Stanley launched the first Bitcoin ETF product by a bank, Iran demanded Bitcoin for passage through the Strait of Hormuz and Michael Saylor raised $150 million to buy more Bitcoin. Most bullish bear market ever

Out of hundreds of currencies, Iran chose to take payment in a dying Ponzi scheme that will be destroyed by quantum computers and is backed by nothing.

Hormuz just made Bitcoin easier to understand. A $1 per barrel toll on pre-war Hormuz flows would generate about $20 million a day. At current prices, that is about 281 BTC. Bitcoin only issues 450 new BTC a day. If stablecoins can be frozen by the U.S., then neutral settlement matters. Bitcoin is the obvious candidate. So one geopolitical chokepoint could theoretically absorb about 62% of all new Bitcoin supply. Scarcity matters more as the world gets more fragmented.

Iran demanding $BTC for Hormuz tolls proves it: censorship-resistance IS the intrinsic value. - USD? Frozen by SWIFT. - Yuan? Beijing's control. - Stables? Issuer blacklists. - Gold? Try emailing it. Bitcoin is the only truly unstoppable, neutral money on earth.

@BitcoinMagazine @Polymarket Weren’t they just convinced it was going to drop to 40k a few days ago. Gambling is no good when you can just keep stacking.

JUST IN: Odds of Bitcoin pumping to $80,000 rise to 74% on Polymarket! 🚀

STRC just absorbed 101% of today's Bitcoin mining supply 453 BTC — every coin mined today, plus 3 more Third straight day of full absorption STRC.live

This and the Morgan Stanley ETF going live today. How could you ever be bearish anon? Good news on good news everyday. The future is #Bitcoin

In the last month, Morgan Stanley, Charles Schwab, and Citadel — among the world’s largest wealth managers, broker-dealers, and hedge funds — have announced plans to build Bitcoin capabilities. Probably nothing.

@CashApp Still waiting on mine 🫡

Confirmed receipt 🧾

People think Bitcoin is about timing. It’s really about how long you can sit with uncertainty without quitting.

@BTC_for_Freedom Claiming intellectual superiority from here on out 😂🫡

According to Grok you need between 125-140 IQ to fully grasp Bitcoin.
