⚡ Parents & Bitcoin Families: We’re putting together a Bitcoin Today Show - X Space - this Wednesday June 17 (4pm MST / 7pm EST) focused on how families are teaching their kids about sound money and Bitcoin. If you’re a parent willing to share your experience, whether you’ve just started the conversation or have been raising Bitcoiners for years, we’d love to hear from you. Interested in joining as a speaker? DM @natalievarty, @tiffany_varty or @CH2BF. 💡The goal is simple: share ideas, lessons, and stories that can help other families navigate Bitcoin at home.

Why $BTC Is Valuable Bitcoin is not valuable because you can buy coffee with it. That was never the highest-value use case. Bitcoin is valuable because it solves a balance-sheet problem. Cash gets diluted. Bonds repay in the currency being diluted. Equity can be diluted. Real estate is local, levered, and illiquid. Gold is scarce, but slow to verify and move at scale. Bitcoin is different. Fixed supply. 21M hard cap. Global settlement. Portable wealth. Auditable on demand. No issuer. No board. No central bank. No one who can print more. That is the value proposition. But the bigger story is the adoption stack. Bitcoin starts as a scarce digital asset. Then it becomes a store of value. Then a balance-sheet reserve asset. Then ETFs and custody rails make it institutionally accessible. Then corporate treasuries begin absorbing supply. Then capital-stack products get built around it. Then institutional collateral markets develop. Then advisors, pensions, insurers, and sovereigns start treating zero allocation as the risk. That is how an asset moves from owned to financialized. Deeper insight: A reserve asset sits on the balance sheet. A collateral asset powers the balance sheet. That is why BTC does not need to become the world’s payment app. Stablecoins may win payments. Banks may keep deposits. Fiat may keep tax settlement. Bitcoin can still win the highest-value role: Scarce, global, digital collateral. The power law is the observed structure. The adoption flywheel is a candidate mechanism for why it can persist. Credibility grows. Larger capital pools enter. Liquidity improves. Custody and collateral markets deepen. Larger allocators can justify owning it. Which raises credibility again. At the margin, the math is simple: Bitcoin issuance is inelastic. As conviction rises, reservation prices rise. So demand shocks resolve in price, not quantity. The question is not: “Can I buy groceries with Bitcoin?” The question is: Who has to own it next? Bitcoin adoption is not people spending BTC. Bitcoin adoption is balance sheets realizing they cannot afford to own zero.

Rules always change. Prioritise self custody. Supplement, don’t substitute.

One has to become more and more patient with time. This is a log-log-log chart. The y-axis price is logarithmic, the x-axis time is logarithmic. And unlike what you have probably never seen, the time interval width of each candle is logarithmic. First candle width 0.37 years, last one 3.7 years. That’s scale invariance, that’s the power law. Age increase 50%, price up 10x. All along the curve. You want a 10 bagger, ask yourself what Bitcoin’s age is now, divide by two, and wait that long.

Focus on being a sats multi-millionaire and don't worry so much about the SpaceX Trillionaire

This isn’t isolated to only white and black. Every society has examples of people treating others differently based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or tribal identity. (We all have a story, and we all feel deeply.) We should aim to better understand one another, listen more, and judge people by their character, value, and actions… It’s also one reason I love Bitcoin. It’s neutral. The rules apply equally to everyone. In a world increasingly divided by labels, Bitcoin offers a common ground built on open participation and shared incentives. Love, empathy, and understanding will always take us further than resentment.♥️

A serious point to consider; 25 trillion transactions are done by visa and mastercard, none of which are FINAL SETTLEMENT, NOT for at least 180 days. Bitcoin is a SETTLEMENT system and did 25 trillion dollars of settlement transactions, versus Visa and MC's 26 TRILLION OF unsettled transactioins, of which 7% will lead to refunds and 1% will lead to a reversed transaction from disputes, fraud and chargeback claims.

29 sats in orbit? Bro that’s 0.00000029 BTC. Bump those numbers up lol

EXACTLY!

Bitcoin bear markets are for lowering your cost basis. The more it falls, the better.

Trezor Academy is doing amazing Bitcoin work in Africa with @JosefTetek I had a wonderful interview with Josef at @BTCPrague and we will be working with Trezor to bring Bitcoin education and self custody to women in Africa🧡⚡️@NigeriaWomenBTC @PreciousNodumo @RMurathime @MrlamilamiKosch @CH2BF

h/t Bitcoin Ranger Hodl AND Spend … IF YOU WANT FIAT TO END Hodl and Spend, It’s the only way to end, Fiat’s reign, Which is the freeman’s Bain. YOU. ARE. THE. CHANGE. Hodl and Spend, Means you keep what you stack. But when you go to spend Bitcoin it’s a fiat attack. Take energy from the old and put it into the new, Buying Bitcoin to spend strengthens businesses who, Need the foundation of Bitcoin to be resilient and strong. Spending Bitcoin is a kindness that brings others along. HODL AND SPEND Is the mantra we say. Make yourself strong, and show others the way. If you know that you’ll go for a coffee today, Don’t spend your stack! but intentionally say, “I’m going to spend Bitcoin, convert from dollars to sats. Then I’ll spend that bitcoin and not have to pay tax. “ Because I’ve just bought this bitcoin there’s no gain or no loss, I’m changing the world while still stacking like a boss. So change your mindset, Bitcoin’s a tool we can use! To take energy from one system and build the world that we choose. We MUST spend Bitcoin if we want Fiat to end… And that’s why from now on we will HODL AND SPEND! Bitcoin Ranger

The AI data center boom is exposing what bitcoin miners have argued for years: flexible load matters on an increasingly stressed grid. From @DSBatten

Someone just bought a $4.2 million house with Bitcoin, and didn't sell a single coin. Everyone's watching the crash and calling Bitcoin dead. They're missing the most bullish development since the ETF. Bitcoin is now pointed at the $50 trillion U.S. housing market.

@ProofOfMoney has done some outstanding educational videos. This one is top tier.

CNBC REPORTED THAT WALMART WILL NOW ACCEPT BITCOIN, ETHEREUM, AND OTHER CRYPTO PAYMENTS IN-STORE FOR ITS 1 BILLION MONTHLY CUSTOMERS. THIS IS ACTUAL ADOPTION.

⚡️The old system requires trust neutrality and it no longer has enough of it. The dollar system was built on one giant bargain: The U.S. provides the reserve asset, the deepest capital markets, military protection, payment rails, and legal enforceability. In exchange, the world accepts U.S. liabilities as the center of the financial system. That bargain worked when the U.S. balance sheet looked unquestionably credible, when globalization made everyone dependent on the same rails, when sanctions were exceptional rather than routine, when Treasuries were treated as neutral savings instruments, and when foreign countries believed holding dollars was safer than building alternatives. That world is gone. The old system can keep operating mechanically. Dollars still clear. Treasuries still trade. Banks still settle. The Fed still sets rates. The U.S. still dominates global finance. But the old system cannot keep producing the same kind of unquestioned belief. That is the fracture.
