Chinese demographics in one image. In 2000, there were 10 workers for every retiree. Today, there are only 5. The same issue will eventually be faced by aging-population countries, such as those in Europe. A decline in consumption that will be countered with monetary debasement and stimulus…

Bitcoin Wallet Begins Charging ‘Inactivity Fee’ to Users; Amounts Reach Up to $30,000 Users of a Bitcoin wallet are accusing its developers of moving their coins without permission. Numerous reports about the issue can be found on social media. The transfers are reportedly an “inactivity fee” charged by the wallet, which operates on both the native Bitcoin network and the Lightning Network. The fee is outlined in its terms of service. Unlike other well-known wallets, such as Electrum or Ledger, this wallet offers a shared custody solution. As a result, the developers also have access to the funds. As an example, a user shared a screenshot showing that the developers deducted $200 in Bitcoin from their wallet. The invoice cites an “inactivity fee” as the justification. In another post, several similar comments can be found. While some question the motivations behind these transfers, others threaten to sue the company. “All the money in my @Alby was transferred, can you fix this? It was transferred by the official.” “You bastard” “Thief” “All the money in my @Alby was transferred, can you fix this?” “Why did you transfer my money without warning? Please provide the refund method.” “Get ready for a lawsuit, you damn fraudulent company.” Other screenshots show deducted amounts of $42, $117, $1047, and even $30000. In other words, it is not a fixed-value fee. “The Alby wallet redefines the meaning of: ‘Your money is my money.’ My goodness, a new way to steal money!” “The main reason is that, according to @Alby terms of service updated in March 2025: to more efficiently manage accounts inactive for long periods, the platform withdraws the entire remaining balance from accounts that have had no transactions for 12 consecutive months,” wrote the user KuiGas.

Someone is still using the original Bitcoin software and just never upgraded.

Nearly \$800 million was liquidated yesterday in the futures market. 🔥 Bitcoin accounted for about \$267 million of the total liquidations. A X spat triggered one of the biggest liquidations of 2025.

Another Bitcoin Treasury Company is born. 🔥 Know Labs, Inc. (\$KNW), a U.S.-based medical materials company, has announced a Bitcoin Treasury Strategy with an initial purchase of 1,000 BTC following its acquisition by Greg Kidd. It’s becoming routine at this point, isn’t it?

The U.S. Treasury has just repurchased $10 billion of its own debt. 🚨 Just to be clear: this is the largest debt buyback operation in history. Probably nothing. Brrr 🖨️

Few people really know this, but as of today, there are already 223 entities — including 124 publicly traded companies — that have declared Bitcoin on their balance sheets. 🤯 In just the past month, 19 new companies have joined this group. But how are they custodying these BTCs? Most large companies use institutional custodians. In other words, they delegate the custody of their BTC to third parties, much like they would with a bank vault. But this solution comes with high costs and concentrated risks. After all, whoever holds the key… holds the Bitcoin. And we’re not talking about just a few bitcoins. If we combine private companies and publicly traded ones, we’re talking about more than 1.1 million coins. In total, institutional and corporate adoption of Bitcoin already holds over 3.39 million BTC in circulation. Several custodians are used, such as BitGo (Galaxy Digital, Fidelity Digital Assets, Anchorage Digital, and NYDIG). But Coinbase Custody is currently the largest, having reported $114 billion in assets under custody in 2024. For example, MicroStrategy uses Coinbase.

++ CIRCLE SURGES +186% AT THE OPENING OF ITS IPO. 🔥 Wall Street is starting to realize the power that stablecoins hold, but the most incredible thing is that a large part of the market is still asleep. Just imagine the volume of capital that will flow in through synthetic dollars…

First they attack and reject it, then they adopt it. JPMorgan will offer loans collateralized with Bitcoin ETFs to its clients. #Bitcoin is the ultimate collateral, and this is just the beginning of this trend.

An obvious step for any mining, energy, oil, and gas company. 🤯 Converting commodities from the fiat world into a scarce digital commodity in an era of monetary dilution. Bluebird is the first gold mining company to adopt a Bitcoin treasury strategy.

Yesterday, @jack mallers revealed the 5 Bitcoin addresses of TwentyOne Capital, confirming the capital flow we had been observing on Bitfinex. Currently, the company’s Proof of Reserves holds 37.23K BTC (about $3.9 billion). Hey, @Michael Saylor, you’re watching this, right? 👇

Today, June 4th, 2025, marks the 21st anniversary of the KILLDOZER — one of the most infamous acts of rebellion and defiance against government authorities. Marvin Heemeyer owned a small muffler shop in his town. The local government approved the construction of a concrete plant directly in front of his business, effectively blocking access and causing severe financial harm. Marvin repeatedly sought solutions through legal means, appealing to the city council to halt construction or allow partial access. Every request was denied. At one point, Marvin even offered to build an alternative access road at his own expense — he had purchased the necessary materials and machinery. Still, the city refused. To make matters worse, the concrete plant disconnected Marvin's shop from the town’s sewage system. Instead of helping, the city fined him for having improper sewage. 🤡 With his business failing and his personal life in ruins, Marvin meticulously planned his revenge. Over the course of 1.5 years, he secretly modified a bulldozer he had originally purchased for the road project. He fortified it with steel armor, installed bulletproof glass, and equipped it with a sophisticated camera system — state-of-the-art for the time. On June 4th, 2004, Marvin locked himself inside the armored bulldozer and began his mission, first demolishing the concrete plant that had devastated his livelihood. Over the next few hours, he drove through town, systematically destroying government buildings and the homes of public officials he held responsible for his plight. The SWAT team was deployed, but their weapons, including rifles and explosives, proved useless against the heavily armored KILLDOZER. Nothing seemed capable of stopping Marvin’s fury against the system — until the machine became trapped in the debris of one of the buildings he was demolishing. Surrounded and with no way out, Marvin took his own life — the only casualty of that day. Today, we remember the day of the KILLDOZER and Marvin Heemeyer — the last great American anti-hero. A simple man who decided to fight back after his life was destroyed by an indifferent government. Among his notes, one quote stood out: “I was always a reasonable person until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.” 🫡

In #Bitcoin terms, almost everything keeps getting cheaper — even the massive U.S. deficit. This year, the estimate is $2.5 trillion. Every dollar of deficit is a dollar taken from private economic activity to fund the machinery of the state. Since 2008, the system’s solution has been negative interest rates (not allowing sustainable assets that yield more than real inflation) — so instead of nationalizing all economic activity, it simply wipes out anyone holding fiat.

#Bitcoin closed May with the HIGHEST monthly close in history at around ~$104,600. 🔥 When in doubt, zoom out.

#Bitcoin Bonds being launched in Russia. 🚨 The debt security is being issued by Russia’s largest bank and uses the future price of bitcoin along with the euro/ruble exchange rate to generate returns for investors. So, what now, USA? Are you going to try to catch up?

@Ross Ulbricht “sending” #bitcoin to himself would be the ultimate demonstration that bitcoin is truly unconfiscatable—a powerful act of defiance against the state. You can take away a man’s freedom, but you can’t erase 12 words from his memory.

Yesterday, the whale trading leveraged Bitcoin at 40x was LIQUIDATED, resulting in a total loss of almost $15 million. But the most curious part is that he was sitting on $82.5 MILLION in PROFITS and lost all of it.

We’re living through history! Excited for this “node war.” I need more #Bitcoin.

#Bitcoin is a machine that turns distrust into consensus. This process happens at the most fundamental layer of the network, with effects that ripple through the entire system. When participants disagree, the immutable ledger acts as the arbiter, recording the true consensus. Ultimately, any and all disagreements are resolved by the protocol. Everything built on top of Bitcoin — from the simplest to the most complex systems — ultimately reduces to the basic rules of the protocol, which everyone must obey. Don’t trust. Verify.

The $1.2B hedge fund founder of 10T Holdings predicts that #Bitcoin is on its way to $180,000 🚀
