The 3-Letter Agencies are running the show. We all know that, right? So we don’t have a Country anymore.

That’s an awkward statement, and I’m wondering if it is translated properly. View quoted note →

“If they are playing around with viruses that have this kind of mortality rate…it needs to get exposed.” On the BTC blockchain. Watch this video. o7 Marty.

The final test in Bitcoin is always to understand and embrace the Cypherpunks. This is what so, so many Bitcoin tourists never grok, and why they can’t abide, no matter how many smarts they briefly extol upon the world. Bitcoin isn’t an influencer gig. Quite the opposite. It’s a slog. A humble side-gig. Forever. View quoted note →

We’re losing. Bitcoin is out of our control, pleb-cycles are broken, even if it the Institutions haven’t $58k’d it yet. There is no “rally the troops” because plebs don’t matter in the markets any longer. We’re just guys discussing news on social media now. That Bitcoin roller-coaster meme - that’s us now. We’re just along for the ride. The Institutions control our future, and we can do nothing about it, except to hope Bitcoin was built to endure this. Even fucking Quantum fud is back. Jeezus. This is why OG’s have been selling. They understood - and had incentive to cash out - on recognizing the change of Scale that would come at Institutional market-cap levels. So they moved to El Salvador and traded BTC for real estate. As all early adopters do. The Kaiser’s of the world knew you might front-run the Banks, once, but you can never out-smart them in a head-to-head game. View quoted note →

10% up move incoming this week. Fuck Hollywood’s Grinch marketing.

From Redditor Apprehensive_Shoe_86, a brilliant summation of why the Keisers of the world have fled to non-taxation areas to dump their BTC for real estate and lambos: “IF I PUT $100 IN BITCOIN IN 2010 I’D HAVE $2.8B NOW.” No. If you bought $100 of Bitcoin in 2010 and watched it go to: $1k → $100k → $1.7M and did nothing Then watched $1.7M go to $170k and still did nothing Then watched $170k go to $110M and still did nothing Then watched $110M wither to $18M and still did nothing Then watched $18M surge to $390M and still did nothing Then watched $390M deteriorate to $85M Then watched $85M climb to $1.6B and still did nothing Then watched $1.6B shrink to $390M and still did nothing Then watched $390M surge to $2.8B and then for some reason finally decided to do something… Then yes, $100 in 2010 would be worth $2.8B today.

Volume has been abysmal this year compared to last year. Yes, selling has been heavier than buying this year, but the massive Institutional buying from last year has largely been hodled. And continued selling into ATH breaks is signature Institutional manipulation. Expect more of the same until something breaks, but then Bitcoin will break to the upside, because that’s where the greatest pain lies. 2026 should be about stumbling something “too big to fail”.

Are we still arguing that Bitcoin needs “more use cases”? Let it go already. View quoted note →

Bitcoin was never about the people who bought early. It was always about all of us, the people who bought “too late”.

What’s up with Sam Bankman Fried? Still under “House Arrest” right?

The perpetual thing about fiat market crashes is that when nobody has money to buy anymore, everyone waits for the Federal Reserve to print more money. It’s the same with Bitcoin. Bitcoin will wallow until the brrrrrr….

Head’s up…this hits as a Red Flag for me: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oil-worst-monthly-run-since-020503915.html “West Texas Intermediate was near $59 before trading on Nymex froze in the Asian morning. Live trading of commodities futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has halted due to technical issues, according to a notice on the CME Group website. Nymex is part of the CME Group.”

This is a Weekly snapshot of aggregated exchange price/volume. Price and Volume are all that matters in any asset. Note how volume… Until the recent decline. I won’t tell you what to make of this. But this is Bitcoin Signal.

Volume (bottom bar) is the sign things are changing. (Weekly chart) This whole last year has been just fiat and Retail.

Sometimes I see something done remarkably well by someone I will never know. And I appreciate that I am human. there is no image here, you need to conjure your own.

The ridiculous elephant in the room problem for anyone who thinks $USD Stablecoins are any kind of future, is simply that you can never have any One. And one $USD Stablecoin. You will always be swimming upstream of a million shitcoin stablecoins, airdrops, nft’s et al et al et alllll…. I mean, USDC broke its peg back in the 2021 bear market…and went begging for funding to get back to stable. Investors back then were complete Idiots, so they supported it, but since the aftermath of that bear market they won’t the next time. There can be only ONE stablecoin. And it must be USD. So choose your winner very carefully, because the rest go to zero, as the US Dollar will eventually. In time.

Not to be the white cat, but it’s truly such a different ride when you’ve ridden it before, right? View quoted note →
