I think @jvisserlabs was right about Bitcoin having it's IPO moment. What everyone is saying about SpaceX is literally what happened after the Bitcoin ETF's launched. Price runs up, early insiders sell into that strength, price depresses, then rebuilds based on it's value and new holder base.

Why are you still paying 1.5% to hold $GBTC? 143,983 Bitcoin live in this ETF. That's over $9B in USD value. Translates to ~$140M in expense ratio costs. (These numbers grow with the Bitcoin price too) @Swan just created your escape hatch with RBX.

Cool to see Swan launching a service to let investors convert their paper Bitcoin directly into onchain coins. Weird that more companies haven't launched this. IMO this is the logical next step in institutional adoption because the ETF will always be just a temporary onboarding wrapper for traditional capital. Institutional investors are not noobs. They know that holding a paper share in a BlackRock fund is not the same as owning the underlying asset.
Swan RBX is live! Get out of $GBTC and into real on-chain Bitcoin swanbitcoin.com/rbx/

Hear me out.... Everyone talks about data centers in space. Is anyone researching "under-water" data centers?

Is it just me? or does the AI trade look & sound very similar to Bitcoin last year. Chips & memory are usually cyclical, has the AI boom created the constant demand many are modeling in?

Bitcoin is the only unstoppable system of money. Anonymity is still in the works. Things like ZCash & others will fail because they're not unstoppable even if anonymous. "It's almost impossible to build unstoppable systems. Almost impossible to build anonymous systems. Both? That's the holy grail." - Max Hillebrand On @_DannyKnowles podcast - What Bitcoin Did

A Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is the most asymmetric bet the U.S. Treasury could make. The downside is manageable. The upside is generational.

Producer Prices in the US rose 4.7% per year over the last 5 years and nearly 26% in total. 2% inflation is a myth. They won't do it, but the Fed should be hiking rates at the FOMC meeting next week.

"The Sovereignty Multiple" - How much more value do you ascribe to Bitcoin in self custody vs a stock? I personally believe self custody BTC carries a premium and will continue to grow as more coins are acquired/held by custodians. Another amazing term coined by @CorySwan on the @MilesFranklinCo show.

Now that the Altcoin War is behind Bitcoin, the Dollar War is upon us. Specifically, the dollar’s massive network effect will continue to incentivize companies and people (including Bitcoiners) to further the dollar at the expense of Bitcoin.
