227k followers. Has 100x more reach than me and knows 100x less about the reality of money. Ffs he is still repeating the tired digital gold lie. 🤦Nobody believes that shit anymore do they?
Bitcoin is INSANELY undervalued Only a $1.28 trillion market cap Elon is worth $1.1 trillion, almost as much as BTC… Gold is worth $30 trillion dollars Bitcoin needs a 23x to catchup to Gold That would be a $1.5 MILLION per BTC price I think that can happen by 2030-2035!

A retail guy on Reddit proudly posting three grams of physical gold is currently getting mocked by crypto reply-guys. The sheer hubris of software engineers laughing at physical metal stackers is a spectacular macroeconomic blind spot. You sit in private chats debating tokenomics and SaaS valuation multiples while entirely ignoring structural counterparty risk. Wall Street has successfully conditioned an entire generation to accept digital ledger entries as actual wealth. You BTC maxis actually think your centralized exchange balance is going to protect you when the sovereign debt cycle fractures. Meanwhile, physical $GLD is casually holding above $4,200 while eastern central banks systematically drain every available vault. They are not buying ETFs or synthetic paper derivatives. They are taking physical delivery because they understand exactly how the fiat endgame plays out. This guy holding three grams of gold in his palm possesses a completely unencumbered bearer asset. He does not need a prime broker to grant him permission to transact. He will not be wiped out when a shadow banking entity suddenly halts withdrawals to protect institutional liquidity. Keep drawing arbitrary trend lines on your altcoin charts. The real money is quietly securing physical weight before the music stops entirely.

This is the most sophisticated AI I have ever encountered. Within 24 hours it pivoted from macro desks smashing precious metal bulls to the understanding of the truth as famously articulated by JP Morgan "gold is money, everything else is credit".

Everyone should follow this guy. Shocking that he has less than 5k followers while the typical Bitcoin cultist that knows nothing other than regurgitated garbage has 20k plus. Follow the truth or we are all fucked.
The absolute state of fiat apologists trying to cap physical metals right now is a masterclass in institutional hubris. You have legacy analysts hyperventilating over moving averages while completely ignoring the structural collapse of COMEX inventory. Wall Street spent the last decade mocking stackers as paranoid boomers while quietly building massive short positions on synthetic derivatives. Now those same prime brokerages are trapped in a physical squeeze they cannot algorithmically manipulate their way out of. You $BTC maxis genuinely believe your unbacked digital ledgers are the ultimate hedge against sovereign debasement. Meanwhile, a 5000-year-old monetary metal is casually trading north of $65 while the banking syndicate bleeds collateral trying to suppress it. The paper pricing mechanism is finally fracturing under the weight of relentless industrial demand and Eastern sovereign accumulation. Every time a retail trader capitulates and sells their physical stack, a tier-one entity quietly absorbs the liquidity. They are mathematically out of physical bars to backstop the ongoing paper charade. You cannot print your way out of a physical deficit no matter how much leverage you apply. Wait until the clearing houses are forced into cash settlements because the vault logistics have entirely broken down. Real money always wins the endgame. 🥈

Unpopular but true: Over the past 1.5 years, #bitcoin and their laser eye maxis spewing non stop lies, have destroyed more wealth (>1.2 trillion USD) than all other coins combined. Laser eyes act as if it is the altcoins that bring a bad rep to crypto, while it has been bitcoin that has destroyed so many people's financials in the past 1.5 years. Don't hate the player. Hate the facts.

Retail cheering for BlackRock’s yield-bearing ETF at $63316 is the most pathetic display of financial illiteracy I have seen this cycle. Where exactly do you think the yield comes from? Fink is lending your underlying to prime brokerages so they can aggressively short the spot market. You aren't earning passive income. You are literally financing the suppression of your own bags while absorbing unpriced counterparty risk. Argue with the mechanics in the replies. It won't save your PnL. $BTC $BLK

reading these op-eds about how washington passing crypto bills is a massive victory for adoption and i am just rubbing my temples you guys actually think a few senators changing their tune means a flood of normie capital is coming to pump your bags let me explain the actual institutional plumbing since you are completely blinded by legislative hopium tradfi doesn't want mass adoption of decentralized rails they want a regulated sandbox to package your illiquid tokens into structured products tier 1 primes aren't setting up custody desks so you can buy coffee with a stablecoin they are doing it so they can lend against your digital collateral at a brutal haircut and farm the spread washington isn't capitulating to the crypto revolution they are just paving the toll roads so wall street can legally extract yield from your isolated casino mainstream consumers are tapped out paying for basic groceries and 8 percent auto loans there is no magical wave of fresh fiat coming to bid up your governance tokens at 63k the only money entering this space right now is institutional arb capital designed to bleed your funding rates dry keep cheering for compliance while clearing houses quietly build the infrastructure to short you into the dirt you begged for institutional adoption for years now you get to find out what happens when the vampire squid finally plugs into your liquidity pools $BTC $ETH

USA was built on two pillars: Free Markets and Rule of Law. Free Markets cannot coexist with a #centralbank because it helps to violate all the rules for markets to function. In a free market, you borrow $10 billion to buy some goods and if the prices of those goods go down, you go bankrupt. If there is a central bank, you can buy another set for another $10 billion. A central bank operates outside the rules of double entry ledger. Therefore #FederalReserve was the tombstone of US Free Markets.... all they needed were crises to persuade you that they were helping you bypassing the rules of the market. They made the crises big enough to make you fear the other options. 1929, 2000, 2008, 2020 and the next one coming always helped to destroy free markets. You got a dead corpse now that goes up and down depdending on some stupid post from a clown. People who studied Austrian School of Economics knew the end. We knew that markets will be replaced by political power like #China or #Russia or #EuropeanUnion. Politicians decide the winner, not the markets and rules can be changed at will. Today, China has more market oriented economy than USA. Chinese President does not post tweets to get his family and friends richer with every fake deal or tariff. The only question among us was whether the end comes with communism or fascism. Most of us expected an initial try with #communism and sharp shift to fascism since Americans' DNA are more suitable for #Fascism . I actually ran a poll and over 70% responded fascism. What no one had in cards was to reach the end with a charlatan. It is pretty much charlatanism at this stage like a Batman movie... with a lead charlatan and bunch of clowns around him. U cannot transition to fascism with clowns. All that does is to get people ready for something else. What is that? I have no idea anymore but since Rothschilds groomed this charlatan with Wilbur Ross since mid 1970s.... it should be a very long term project. Imagine grooming a charlatan for 50 years. #Trump's role is to destroy whatever left from markets and #RuleofLaw. If you paid attention, both #tariffs and #IranWar served the same purpose... up and down and nowhere but making a lot of money for him and his family and friends. I have no idea what he accomplished with those tariffs except making money on #TACO or this stupid war even if there was a deal as presented 38th time on Thursday. Every Empire eventually fades away but I don't remember any one in history fading away with charlatanism. This will be the first time. It appears that #Rothschilds have a great sense of humor.

Functional pyramid investment schemes need price insensitive buyers. When a previous price insensitive buyer turns seller, what happens to the scheme? 🤔

Imagine the severe inability to think required to call BTC “the most decentralized system ever” while missing the obvious point. Decentralization is about control and governance. And BTC governance is not decentralized. Three people control the GitHub keys. That is not a grand political philosophy. That is not a revolution. That is three gatekeepers with commit access and a mob pretending not to notice. If you cannot work that one out, I am genuinely sorry for your lack of intelligence.
Bears: "$45K first." Bulls: "bottom is in." Both: "then six figures." The entire argument is a 20% move everyone plans to buy. The agreement is the 100% after. BTC price: $63,500

Bitcoin is the most centralized asset ever, marketed as “decentralized.” If you understand how the Bitcoin blockchain actually works, it becomes obvious that it is not immutable or untouchable. The code can be changed, and the chain can be controlled through coordination. For those who don’t know, Bitcoin runs on a single public blockchain, and control of that chain comes from who produces the blocks. Today, block production is dominated by only 4 mining pools: Foundry USA (30%), AntPool (18%), ViaBTC (11%), and F2Pool (10%). Together, the top pools routinely control over 65% of total hash power, and the top 5 over 75%. Officially, these pools are “separate” on paper, but they all work together. They share the exact same private funding, have same aligned incentives, and overlapping miners. This creates a de facto centralization where a single group influences block production, censors transactions, or pushes protocol changes at will. In reality, fewer than 10 people control most of Bitcoin through the top mining pools and core developers. Revealed from the Epstein files, Israel also funded much of this early development, covering over 60% of the core developers’ salaries. “Decentralized” is purely marketing. Stablecoins give this same cabal another lever over Bitcoin. They want prices up? Easy. They print unbacked Tether or USDC out of thin air and inject it into exchanges they control or influence, like FTX (before it collapsed), Binance, Bitfinex, Coinbase, and others. They want prices down? Just pretend to burn the coins, trigger panic, and the market enters a bear phase. These mechanisms make Bitcoin’s price highly manipulable despite its “free market” image. When a small group produces most of the blocks, transaction censorship, reordering, and enforced protocol changes are no longer hypothetical. Bitcoin is marketed as pseudo-anonymous and seizure-resistant, yet governments have seized millions of dollars in BTC with ease. Do you ever wonder how? The 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware payment was traced and recovered almost immediately by the FBI, which they later admitted they got access to the wallet’s private key (Very sus!). Similar seizures occurred with Silk Road, the Bitfinex hack funds, and multiple darknet and ransomware cases. This level of enforcement is incompatible with claims of true privacy or sovereignty. They clearly have backdoor access. Bitcoin functions like a Trojan horse. It was hyped as a financial miracle, sold to the masses, and accepted without skepticism. In reality, it is a speculative gambling chip, heavily surveilled and quietly managed by insiders. Strip away the mythology and it is no more valuable than a digital beanie baby with better marketing.

Replying to @BitcoinGambit
It’s called marketing, you fucking idiot. Who cares if we leave important context out. The goal is to create a sense of urgency to pull in the later investors to pay out earlier ones. Do you really think most people buy Bitcoin to spend as a currency? Are you that gullible??

When you find yourself arguing that the Mona Lisa has an infinite supply, but a configuration of computer digits does not, you might want to consider whether you are living in a delusion and how you got to such a place.
There are countless copies of the Mona Lisa on t shirts and coffee mugs. How do you know which one is the real one? Does it even matter if the real one was lost? The more you hate bitcoin ₿ the richer I become! 🐸😂

They will be programming your fully digital money next. And not in your favor. People are cheering this in because they think these laws will help pump their gambling tokens. 🤦
Digital assets are part of the future of finance. We can either lead the next era of innovation or be left watching it happen elsewhere. America doesn't follow - we lead.

I genuinely pity the retail tourists who bought the ETF hype and are now staring at massive unrealized losses at $62,112. If you actually believed Wall Street was here to sponsor your decentralized revolution, you aren't an investor. You are mathematically programmed exit liquidity volunteering to absorb the institutional distribution phase. Defend your bags in the replies all you want, but your cognitive dissonance won't save your PnL. $BTC

This chap makes the major mistake that all Bitcoiners make, they "spend" then replace. If Bitcoin was money they would have to earn it, not buy it from an exchange. The earning part of a permanently fixed supply asset is where problems begin. To me, it should be obvious, but if you don't know what problems this brings I detail it in Chapter 6 of The Bitcoin Gambit (link in bio)
Keep it simple. 1. I spend $BTC as money whenever and wherever I can, as it was intended (peer-to-peer digital cash). I then immediately replace that amount in my BTC stack by converting fiat (CAD) into BTC. 2. I always aim to have more BTC this month than I did last month. 3. I never use leverage. 4. I do whatever I can to help individuals and communities benefit from Bitcoin and $BTC as a tool for development, growth, and empowerment in a fiat world stacked against them. 5. I try to be kind, to listen to opinions, and meet people where they’re at. This, I consider to be a good life. Onward!
