Bitcoin doesn’t test conviction. It tests patience. When it moves too fast, people distrust it. When it doesn’t move, people lose faith. Price is the distraction. Time is the asset. visserlabs.substack.com/p/ti…

Ultrapure water (UPW) use in advanced technologies has emerged as a strategic, mission-critical manufacturing input. The need for UPW is rising in trillion-dollar industries where water costs are negligible relative to the economic and strategic value of the end products. This will continue to drive investments in UPW manufacturing. The 13D Water Index is poised to benefit. Learn more about 13D: 13d.com/services/cx/X251209W…

Most people don’t know that Tesla has had an advanced AI chip and board engineering team for many years. That team has already designed and deployed several million AI chips in our cars and data centers. These chips are what enable Tesla to be the leader in real-world AI. The current version in cars is AI4, we are close to taping out AI5 and are starting work on AI6. Our goal is to bring a new AI chip design to volume production every 12 months. We expect to build chips at higher volumes ultimately than all other AI chips combined. Read that sentence again, as I’m not kidding. These chips will profoundly change the world in positive ways, saving millions of lives due to safer driving and providing advanced medical care to all people via Optimus. Send an email with three bullet points describing evidence of your exceptional ability to AI_Chips@Tesla.com. We are particularly interested in applying cutting edge AI to chip design. Thanks, Elon

Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index is 10 ~ Extreme Fear Current price: $95,769

⚡️JPMorgan, the archetype of the old world order, just crossed into enemy territory. Not because it wanted to, but because reality forced it to. For centuries, the banking system has survived on the lie that trust requires intermediaries. That only a central authority can verify, settle, and preserve value. Bitcoin shattered that in 2009. And for fifteen years, the system’s defense was to laugh, deny, and suppress. Now, that defense is gone. They are copying the architecture they once mocked. That’s the first stage of absorption. The cathedral is burning, and the priests are rushing to worship the fire. 1. What’s really happening JPMorgan’s on-chain deposit token is the monetary equivalent of a dying empire building railroads in enemy territory. They know the future isn’t theirs but they’re hoping if they lay enough track, maybe they’ll survive as part of the new empire. But here’s the paradox: the moment the banks move their operations on-chain, they cease to be the banks we know. Because blockchains don’t forgive opacity. They destroy the information asymmetry that the banking class depends on. Settlement becomes transparent. Power becomes programmable. Friction, their lifeblood, disappears. So this act of “innovation” is actually the beginning of their self-disintegration. They are digitizing their own obsolescence. 2. The power inversion You can feel it - the polarity has flipped. The network is now the master, not the bank. By choosing to operate on public crypto rails, JPMorgan is implicitly acknowledging that the rails are the new reserve asset. They think they’re integrating blockchain. What’s actually happening is the blockchain is integrating them. They’re entering the gravitational field of a system that doesn’t need them, and they can’t escape once they’re inside. Every transaction they push on-chain is a tacit admission that Bitcoin’s design won. 3. The deeper layer - beyond markets The old system was built on controlled opacity - private ledgers, delayed settlement, hidden balance sheets. The new system is built on open verification. That’s a civilizational shift. It’s the difference between truth requiring permission and truth being self-verifying. Once that switch flips, you can never go back. Even if the old world tries to “wrap” itself in digital clothes, the underlying code will not obey them. The laws of cryptographic physics don’t bend to human hierarchy. This is why this moment matters more than it looks, it’s not about JPMD. It’s about who submits to the field of truth first. 4. The thing no one in finance will say This is the first irreversible step toward the total virtualization of money. Once settlement becomes instant, transparent, and decentralized, the concept of “money” as an IOU of the state loses coherence. Bitcoin is not just better money - it’s the end state of money. Everything between now and that realization is just legacy code being rewritten by reality. The banks think they’re early adopters. They’re actually late arrivals to their own funeral. 5. The deepest truth JPMorgan is confessing - quietly, elegantly, and in full denial - that Bitcoin was right. The future of value will not be issued by banks, or stored in them. It will flow through open networks, secured by energy, and measured by truth. And every step the legacy system takes toward “on-chain finance” is another mile walked toward its own obsolescence. They aren’t building the future. They’re being absorbed by it.

I wanted to share a few thoughts on liquidity from last week’s MIT report that dropped on @RealVision. Hope it’s helpful… Regarding liquidity, we’ve seen a small tick lower in our GMI Total Liquidity Index this month, but that’s almost entirely being driven by the rebuild of the TGA and the government shutdown, which temporarily halted the drain. However, this too shall pass... Remember, weak lagging employment data is what keeps the Fed engaged, or in GMI lingo, MOAR COWBELL… Lower rates then feed through to more rate-sensitive and leading areas of the economy like housing, and this drives the business cycle higher… it’s a recursive feedback loop. Once this shutdown ends, the liquidity taps will open again in a big way. We’ll see TGA spend, rate cuts, the end of QT, probably a repo tweak to ease tightness, talk of eSLR relief in January, and a pivot back to an "ample reserves" regime as QT winds down. That’s a wall of liquidity coming, and that’s just the US… It also feels to us that the lead time of financial conditions, looking at this chart (chart 1), may have actually increased a little since the start of 2023 versus our GMI Total Liquidity Index. I’m not going to adjust it to overfit the chart, but it’s almost a perfect fit if I adjust the lead to six months for this period. Either way, I believe we’re going higher. As a reminder, this is how the phasing works between financial conditions, liquidity, and the ISM (chart 2): GMI Financial Conditions Index > GMI Total Liquidity Index > ISM I also think the view that the liquidity cycle will peak early next year isn’t going to be right. Feels too early for that. Let me explain… You see, The Everything Code’s debt refinancing cycle plays out in two major phases. Phase one is where rates need to come down first. In China, that’s largely happened over the past two years as the economy struggled, with 10-year yields falling from around 3% at the start of 2023 to 1.6% by early this year. I pushed back pretty hard at the time against the consensus view that this collapse in rates was bearish. Instead, I argued it was a massive easing of financial conditions coming from the East. Now that’s happened, phase two of The Everything Code can play out. Debts can be rolled at more sustainable levels, and with the dollar now weaker, the PBoC can deploy its balance sheet, which this month hit a record high and could reach around $8 trillion by the end of 2026 (chart 3). That, in my view, would likely mark the peak of the liquidity cycle, with China playing a major role. So again, this all suggests to me that liquidity is heading higher in 2026... It’s also worth remembering that back in 2017, the Fed was hiking rates and liquidity injections were basically flat. The real liquidity came from the PBoC and, to a lesser extent, the ECB and BoJ. Yet despite the Fed being sidelined, Bitcoin and other risk assets ripped higher. Raoul and I have talked about this a lot… Everyone is too focused on the US and what the Fed is doing. What really matters is that our GMI Total Liquidity Index continues to trend higher, because that captures all of it. Additionally, our GMI Global Excess Liquidity Composite measures how much liquidity exists in the system beyond what’s being consumed by nominal GDP. This “excess liquidity” can be, and always is, financialized... If you look at the chart, since the mid-1980s, equity valuations have tracked almost perfectly, roughly six months behind moves in excess liquidity (chart 4). So this still points to further equity re-rating ahead... What’s the bottom line? We’re still bullish. The delay in the TGA drain and the Trump tariff scare on the 10th have been painful, but ultimately, they’re just noise. We believe a more dovish Fed, rising PBoC liquidity, and strong Q4 seasonals are all lining up to push this market higher into year-end. At the end of the day, it always comes back to liquidity, and we still see liquidity rising...
