β€œThis is interesting because it's really a story about the financialization of Bitcoin, right? We've seen the kind of same trajectory that we've seen with other assets with Bitcoin. First, it's completely dismissed. It's nonsense. Think about, you know, gold before there were ETFs. So you had to literally trade physical gold. Complicated, right? When Bitcoin got an ETF, we saw that it was the most successful ETF of all time.”

Is A Bitcoin Supply Crisis Incoming? Michael Saylor Is Buying Everything!

    STRC is buying massive amounts of Bitcoin daily

    β€œYesterday, he bought 14,834, which is more than all of last week, which was a billion dollars last week, which is $1.57 billion just yesterday, added to the 7,800 the day before. I mean, we're talking about right now a floor of 1 to 1.5 billion, seemingly only increasing, we know will be bought every single day in real time and completely trackable.”

    STRC uses infinite money glitch to accumulate Bitcoin

    β€œBut now he seems to have found the infinite money glitch. I hate that term. It makes me feel like the top is in and that we're all exceptionally euphoric. But here we are with the infinite money glitch. So last week, he bought almost 14,000 Bitcoin, 13,800 and something was about a billion dollars worth. Then on Monday, we saw STRC volumes absolutely skyrocketing.”

    Ethereum outperformance signals a risk-on market environment

    β€œTo me, it means that A, people are more willing to take risk. Within the circular crypto economy, we know that you can basically view Bitcoin as like a bond, right? It's the risk-free rate. It's the benchmark that you need to beat to do anything else. So when there's a flight to quality or flight to safety within the crypto community, people sell their altcoins and they buy Bitcoin.”

    Goldman Sachs files for a Bitcoin income ETF

    β€œThe bank is moving deeper into crypto with a Bitcoin ETF that generates income by selling options on Bitcoin linked funds following BlackRock's push into similar yield focused products. Well, BlackRock recently announced that they will be doing a similar Bitcoin income ETF. And now Goldman Sachs, who until now has not been really a part of the ETF race... they're going to create this product.”

    TradFi is rapidly financializing the entire Bitcoin ecosystem

    β€œThis is interesting because it's really a story about the financialization of Bitcoin, right? We've seen the kind of same trajectory that we've seen with other assets with Bitcoin. First, it's completely dismissed. It's nonsense. Think about, you know, gold before there were ETFs. So you had to literally trade physical gold. Complicated, right?

Quantum Threat by 2030. Crypto Ready? #CryptoTownHall

  • β€’

    Quantum risk to Bitcoin is overblown FUD

    β€œFirst of all, if quantum computers do come to a point to where they can hack networks, everything's done. It's all over, you know? It's not just crypto. That's the last of our concerns.”

    Defenses evolve alongside new technological threats

    β€œThings don't develop in isolation. There's always defenses developing alongside of it. People aren't going to, I mean, the big players, the banks, the billionaires that have crypto, they're not going to sit on the sidelines and just wait to be hacked. They're working on solutions right now.”

    Vulnerable old wallets could cause market haircuts

    β€œIn that latter scenario, which I think people kind of are what they're terribly afraid of, I actually think that that's about a 40 percent haircut to Bitcoin, which we've already had. And the fact that people haven't bought, aren't buying and are concerned about it is a big deal.”

    Banks are softer targets than encrypted blockchains

    β€œI mean, for crying out loud, you still have the majority of banks that are providing consumers two-factor authentication over SMS text message. Are you really going to deploy that much compute power against the Bitcoin blockchain when you have so many softer targets you could exploit?”

    β€” Carlo

    Bitcoin developers lack urgency for quantum upgrades

    β€œI think it's something that should at least be considered in the response from the Bitcoin community, is that it's so far off that we shouldn't even consider it. Or that they take it as religious criticism against the cult and religion, that there could ever be anything wrong with Bitcoin, and don't even address it because it's too emotionally difficult.”
