I was one of the early users of the Internet back in 1993, I've been part of 3 tech companies that exited, and helped another 4 achieve exits. I've personally seen close to 1000 different technology ideas pitched over a 20 year period. But nothing, including the Internet comes remotely close to Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining, which are by some distance the most innovative and promising technologies for humanity in the last 100 years. Nothing else comes remotely close. Bitcoin mining is incentivizing renewable energy, mitigating methane, stabilizing grids, obviating gas peaker plants around the world at a pace that almost no other climate technologies have been able to replicate even across one sector source: x.com/DSBatten/status/200935… Bitcoin's usecases are not simply about more efficiency convenience or faster commerce, but existential need: it is already helping 100s of millions of people around the world who before bitcoin were stuck with high inflation and hyperinflation, unbanked, or lived in autocratic regimes source: x.com/DSBatten/status/183387… Bitcoin is also the first technology I've ever seen that helps the Global South first, the West second (which is why so many in the West don't see it's utility: ie, a lack of empathy and imagination on the part of the evaluator, not a lack of value in Bitcoin) It's the most inspirational technology I've seen in 20 years of technology investment by some distance across a range of social and environmental metrics. But, as with all other disruptive technologies, you'll unthinkingly retort things that make you look stupid in years to come if your source of information on Bitcoin is either : a. the media (who have a 100% perfect track-record of dismissing every disruptive technology since the Telegraph) b. other people who have also not used or researched Bitcoin (of which a. above is a subset) The predominant media narratives on Bitcoin typically have only one common denominator: stupidity. As soon as one stupid narrative fails ("will use all the world's energy", a new stupid narrative like "uses a swimming pool of water" is already in the queue to replace it. Once that is debunked, another stupid narrative will replace that. The narratives are never true, but they are funny, and they do fool people tend to have poor filters for information quality. Would you have been one of the laggards who trusted the opinions of others about the Internet who had never used it, or would you have talked to people who used it and then tried it yourself? Rather than digesting new flavors of stupid from the media and others who have never used Bitcoin, you could try this crazy wacky idea: listen to the opinions of people who have used actually Bitcoin and know something about it. Paul Krugman saying "The Internet will be no more valuable than the fax machine" in 2005 was a statement about the value of his opinion, not the value of the Internet Similarly, the opinions of those who have never studied, never used, or have a vested interest in opposing Bitcoin are a statement about the value of their opinions, not the value of Bitcoin. Onwards!

As if by magic. ✅ Run it back turbo. 📈
Binance Liquidation Levels 🧪 The majority of liquidity is now ABOVE market. ✅ Downside coincides perfectly with the $72 - $74k region I’ve spoken about previously. 🤌🏼 Potential grab, then up only to the CME Gap around $84k. 📈

in the same way some us territories could be national security issues for other countries. Would you agree to gift them part of your land? Us would be nothing but a British colony without French intervention. Are you fit to decide whether a country needs it’s territory?

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION: BOYCOTT JPMORGAN. JPMorgan under-reported Jeffrey Epstein-linked suspicious transactions prior to 2019. The bank maintained a client relationship with Epstein (a convicted sexual offender) well after criminal proceedings. The failure to act has been publicly linked to potential enabling of Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. Senate Finance Committee: "It’s impossible to believe the decisions that led to this disaster never reached the very top of the executive suite." “Given the scale of Epstein’s trafficking operation, it’s clear that many more powerful people were involved. My staff have seen a paper trail with their own eyes. Banks that helped enable him should be investigated. As should anybody involved in Epstein’s trafficking ring.” - @RonWyden #BOYCOTTJPMORGAN.

The GOLD/COPPER ratio bottoms have marked the transition into increased manufacturing, and risk-on macro. This is now a multi-decade low Fade at your peril, but its reversal has pinpointed the beginning of every parabolic Bitcoin run in history

Netanyahu & his cabinet of war criminals are planning for "voluntary" migration of Palestinians from Gaza. Having starved them and bombed their homes, schools and hospitals, how can it be voluntary? This is ethnic cleansing. It's a war crime. NO MORE US MILITARY AID TO ISRAEL.

Continue to see signs that "this time is different" Behaviorally this market has changed. Coins were sent to exchanges in past runs, now on this run, coins are leaving exchanges. Do with this info as you wish. #bitcoin

So you think we're in a bull market? We're not, this has been the warm up. A full fundamentals driven bull market is marked by a break of the upper blue band. When it breaks, TradFi is in for a shock.

6. Indicators Turn Bullish #Altcoins have just crossed the upper band of the Gaussian channel, that turned green. This happened only in 2020 and 2016 followed by an altcoin season. This is a very bullish signal.
