the people who bought bitcoin at $16k in 2022 felt exactly like you feel right now scared, uncertain, wondering if the thesis was broken they were rewarded with a 600% move

@BitcoinSapiens $300K sounds insane… until you remember people said the same thing about $20K and $100K. BTC moves in phases: disbelief → acceptance → euphoria. Most people only buy during the last one.

@Rakeshhkumaar Hey bud. Los Angeles spends a fortune on homeless people... it just all ends up in the hands of the NGOs that have no desire to solve it.. because they get paid to not solve homelessness. Try again.

I hold 1 BTC. No loans. No noise. My coworker bought a $900K house with $820K debt. Everyone praises him for “stability.” No one praises me for sovereignty. Funny how the system claps for chains, not freedom. Who do you think is actually safer long-term?

The cryptic announcement that Iran will allow tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz if their cargo is paid in Yuan has many problems. Unless there are more details offered, view it as propaganda and not a workable idea. --- If you're interested in why, some thoughts... No operational mechanics were explained How exactly does Iran verify what currency a cargo was paid in before granting passage? Oil trades involve a chain of counterparties — producers, traders, refiners, end buyers — often with multiple legs of financing and settlement. There's no manifest line that says "paid in yuan." Is Iran proposing to inspect banking records at the Strait? Demand SWIFT confirmations from Chinese banks? This isn't a tariff booth, it's one of the world's most complex commodity markets. There is no operational framework described because there likely isn't one. The Saudis tried exactly this in 2022, and quietly killed it When Saudi Arabia floated yuan-denominated oil sales to China, it generated huge headlines in 2022. It went nowhere. Once you collect yuan, what do you do with it? China's bond market is partially closed to foreigners, capital controls limit repatriation, and yuan-denominated assets globally are a tiny fraction of what dollar assets offer. Oil exporters need somewhere safe, liquid, and deep to park revenues. That somewhere is US Treasuries, not Chinese Yuan-denominated bonds. Chinese capital markets are not deep enough The US Treasury market trades $800B+ daily. That depth is why the dollar is the oil settlement currency, not politics, not the petrodollar agreement, but pure market structure. If every barrel transiting Hormuz (roughly 15-20 million barrels/day pre-war) suddenly needed yuan to purchase, the demand shock on a managed, partially-closed currency would be enormous. China's capital markets cannot absorb that recycling flow. A surging yuan could actually hurt China Massive forced yuan buying would likely send the currency soaring, and that's the last thing Beijing wants. China is already battling deflation. Its export sector is under tariff pressure from the US. A sharply stronger yuan erodes export competitiveness. China has spent years carefully managing a gradual appreciation of the Yuan for strategic reasons. A shock appreciation forced by an Iranian is not in Beijing's interest. There's no indication Beijing has endorsed or agreed to this plan. Further, China has carefully avoided being drawn into the military conflict. Suddenly becoming the financial clearinghouse for the Hormuz passage, with all the secondary sanctions that come with it, is exactly what Chinese banks want to avoid. China buys Iranian oil through shadow-fleet intermediaries specifically to avoid formal yuan-settlement mechanisms that would expose Chinese banks to US sanctions. ---- This reads like a trial balloon from Tehran, not a workable financial architecture. It suffers from the same structural reasons that killed the Saudi yuan-oil experiment in 2022, with the added complications of US sanctions and the absence of Chinese buy-in. The dollar's dominance in oil markets is a function of capital market depth and convertibility, not something a Strait closure can unilaterally rewrite.

🇮🇷 Iran is now considering a wild move: only letting oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz if the cargo is paid in Chinese yuan ditching the US dollar for most trades. This would be a massive shift as ~80% of global oil is priced & traded in USD. If Iran pulls it off, it’s a direct middle finger to the petrodollar system. If Iran starts demanding yuan for passage through the world’s most critical oil choke point, that’s not just economic warfare, that’s trying to rewrite global finance mid-war. Source: @sentdefender

@SLagonia2626 @bruhguy7 @BBGreatMoments Ryan has openly explained why he went in as a ranger. His 5k strikeout, 6th and 7th no hitter, and 300th win happened in that uniform, combined with the fact that he is from Texas.

@MacroSphereIO @BitcoinSapiens He's not terribly wrong... given that US debt is heading toward $65 trillion and BTC is a liquidity sponge. It'll likley hit $40k... and then we'll do more QE. Then it'll brrrr
