โBitcoin is one of the only functioning free markets we have left.โ
@jack mallers dropped this pearl of wisdom during our chat at @npub167n5...zu3r.
โThereโs not enough filthy fiat to support all this debt and spending.โ

"Bitcoin OGs, NOT MINERS, are the real BTC price setters."
This insight from @npub1hxwm...40pf suggests Bitcoin OGs have been dictating BTC price since 2024:
"Bitcoin price went up because of demand from ETFs and the Trump election, which triggered a supply cascade from OGs after hitting that psychological achievement of $100,000."
Rochard said that there's a clear supply and demand imbalance which was typically dictated by miners in the first 3 Bitcoin halvings.
"If we just go back to economics 101, we've always talked about the mining getting halved, right? So then the supply is getting halved. The reality is that if you look at the marketplace, the exchanges, the volumes, they far surpass the quantity of Bitcoin getting mined," Rochard said.

"We either adopt Bitcoin or we embrace chaos."
Episode 1 of The Lumen Podcast with @npub1hxwm...40pf is an absolute banger.
"Bitcoin is going to $1M, $10M, $100M, $1T." ๐คฏ

"People said @npub15dql...lm5m is going to choke and sell all the Bitcoin. When Bitcoin goes up, $MSTR is going to rip."

This made me so bullish on Bitcoin.
Iโve earned ~9000 sats posting content on @npub12vkc...pugg this year.
I just used that Bitcoin to pay for coffee at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
Earn sats creating content, then let the Bitcoin flow with Lightning โก๏ธ
@npub1lr2z...dl6a did I do this right ๐
"Why would I spend my Bitcoin? It's your one chance to save generational wealth." โ
You'll often hear that from Bitcoiners in the Western world.
But in ๐ฟ๐ฆ, we have a different relationship with money.
"When you do start spending Bitcoin, you buy more Bitcoin so you can spend it as well, then you end up saving more as well. So you actually end up in a better position," says Carl van Wyk from @npub1y0fv...m5py.
It's even more powerful in Bitcoin circular economies, as Hermann Vivier from @npub1zkr0...k6ec explains.
"What we're trying to do is to get Bitcoin to flow within the local community. It's not about how many merchants you onboard. It's about what happens to the sats that you spend," Vivier explains.
"It's not about going out and onboarding shops. It's about onboarding one shop and then playing detective and finding out what they are doing with the sats that they are receiving."
"You want to try and circulate the sats in the local community. You don't want those sats to leave the local community as far as possible. And with the effect being that when people are spending sats in our local circular economy, the value stays within the community."
This was one of my favourite Bitcoin-focused #CHAINREACTION shows to date.

Probably an unpopular opinion - but we need to get Bitcoiners actively involved in the World Economic Forum ๐๐๐
My experience in Davos this year made it evidently clear that Bitcoin remains misunderstood and undervalued as hard money.
Naturally, itโs also the antithesis of how a globalist institution like the WEF wants the world to operate.
Getting the right people speaking inside the forum is crucial to changing the perception of Bitcoin and informing politicians and heads of industry to change their thinking.
Iโd love to see @npub15dql...lm5m @npub1qg8j...24kw @npub1exce...n72a @Saifedean Ammous and others talking on an exclusively Bitcoin focused panel next year
