Mid-MO Bitcoiners

If you're still on the sidelines, this headline might just be the nudge you need: Even Larry Fink—the CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager with $13.5 trillion under its belt—is now singing Bitcoin's praises. At the New York Times DealBook Summit yesterday, Fink joined Coinbase's Brian Armstrong to squash fears of another "crypto winter" after a rough market dip. Fink didn't hold back: "I see a big, large use case for Bitcoin." He called it "an asset of fear" in today's volatile world but highlighted how legitimate long-term investors—like sovereign wealth funds—are piling in. BlackRock's already launched a Bitcoin ETF (approved by the SEC last year) and offers multiple crypto products to clients. With crypto's market cap soaring past $4 trillion this fall, thanks to Wall Street's embrace and a pro-Bitcoin shift in Washington, this isn't fringe anymore—it's mainstream momentum. Armstrong echoed the vibe: No way Bitcoin hits zero, and with bills like the Genius Act for stablecoins on the horizon, regulation is catching up. Fink even warned the U.S. to speed up digitization or get left behind globally. Bottom line? If the king of fiat finance sees Bitcoin's truth as the ultimate store of value—scarce, borderless, and inflation-proof—you should too. It's not just money; it's the soundest one we've got, and its value will only climb as more eyes open. Time to stack those sats and join the revolution. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/business/dealbook/blackrock-coinbase-crypto-dealbook-summit.html

🚨 Heads up, Mid-MO Bitcoiners! The Fed's money printer is revving up once more. They've just injected a whopping $13.5 BILLION into the banking system overnight as Quantitative Tightening wraps up. This is the second-largest liquidity flood since the COVID era, signaling tight liquidity and potential stress in the system. Remember, when fiat gets diluted like this, inflation isn't far behind. Brace yourselves and safeguard your hard-earned wealth in the ultimate sound money, #Bitcoin! https://relay.monetapro.xyz/add4d53672c0768b2509cd8c6c6544ca2b601edc40172baf57de567b549b0310.mp4

U.S. House lawmakers just dropped a bombshell report on "Choke Point 2.0," exposing how the Biden admin tried to strangle digital assets by debanking firms and leaving regs in the dark. While Trump's team is rolling back some of that nonsense, the fight for financial freedom rages on. This is why Bitcoin stands alone as the hardest money: decentralized, resilient, and unstoppable. https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/12/01/u-s-house-lawmakers-detail-grievances-over-government-s-choke-point-2-0

Big news! 🚀 Texas just "bought the dip" with a $5M investment Bitcoin purchase, kickstarting their Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This is a massive step toward states recognizing Bitcoin as the ultimate sound money with its unmatched scarcity and resilience. As fiat falters, more will see the truth and stack sats. Who's ready for Missouri to join the revolution? https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2025/11/25/texas-buys-usd5m-in-btc-etf-as-states-edge-toward-first-government-crypto-reserves

Bitcoin fixes that. It lets you be your own bank. No gatekeepers. No permission. No political pressure. The old system fears freedom. #Bitcoin delivers it. https://www.theblock.co/post/380099/strike-jack-maller-jpmorgan

The independent audit of Bitcoin Core is a perfect example of why open source matters. Bitcoin was designed so no one has to take anyone’s word for anything. Every line of code is public. Anyone can verify how the system works. This audit highlights the strength of that model. There is no back room. No hidden process. No corporate secrecy. No mystery firmware. Just transparent engineering that can be checked and challenged by the entire world. Compare that to closed systems that rely on trust. Compare it to companies that hide their code or their hardware behind NDAs. That is the difference between Bitcoin and everything else. Auditing Bitcoin Core reinforces confidence in the network. It strengthens the ecosystem. It shows again that sunlight is not a threat. It is a foundation. https://www.theblock.co/post/379656/bitcoin-core-audit

The Bloomberg report on Bitmain facing a US security review should be a wake up call. Bitcoin was built on the idea that no single company or government can control the system. That only works when everything is open and verifiable. Closed source mining hardware goes against the very foundation of Bitcoin. If you cannot inspect the code or the firmware you have to trust the company behind it. That is not Bitcoin. That is centralization. Open source protects miners. It protects the network. It protects American sovereignty. Bitmain never embraced that philosophy and now the consequences are catching up. Serious Bitcoiners should demand transparent hardware and open design. The network stays free only when the tools remain open. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-21/chinese-manufacturer-bitmain-faces-us-security-review

A new bill would let you pay federal taxes in Bitcoin and put that BTC into a national reserve. This treats Bitcoin as real money and gives people more choice. The government would hold a scarce asset instead of printing more paper. #Bitcoin #SoundMoney https://decrypt.co/349373/proposed-bitcoin-america-bill-enable-btc-tax-payments-reserve

🧠 When Harvard decided to “buy” Bitcoin, they got the idea but missed the asset. If you believe in Bitcoin’s fundamentals, you don’t just allocate “some BTC,” you hold its essence—the sovereignt and permission-less money. #Bitcoin #SoundMoney https://jashap.substack.com/p/dear-harvard-you-bought-bitcoin-wrong
