I like JD Vance and they are doing great things by taking down the barriers to Bitcion development. But his criticism of Gary Gensler is misguided. A head of the SEC he attacked shitcoins and tried to get exchanges to provide a proof of reserves. He defined bitcoin at a commodity did nothing to stop it. Chokepoint 2.0 was not his work. Gary Gensler has a deep understanding of technology and finance. He recognises the difference between bitcoin and crypto. Something that Vance and Trump have yet to figure out. We can forgive them though, it took some of us a while!

With all the buying that is going on it is really surprising to see that the price is not higher. The only thing that can be suppressing it is a large amount of selling. The question is, are the sellers selling their own bitcoin or bitcoin that they hold in custody for someone else? Self custody bitcoin is the only real bitcoin. Get off of coinbase and other exchanges.

If it goes any higher then Michael Saylor might start using it as a currency!

The artificial separation between monetary systems and content systems represents a division that digital technology has rendered obsolete. When both money and content exist as digital information, the systems for managing them naturally converge. @Fanfares

Pay for AI with subscription and your data can be correlated and added to your social graph and sold. Get free AI through a platform and you are paying with your data. Results will be filtered to keep you on the platform. Pay anonymously per question with bitcoin lightning and the AI is working for you. Digital freedom or digital slavery?

Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor and part of the Trump administration says that Bitcoin is not a currency. The Trojan horse is inside of the gates!

With the invention of the internet we have quickly descended into a situation of manipulative surveillance where every system we use is recording everything that we do and using it to make us do things that we wouldn’t otherwise want to do. All of this has been made possible by the fact that we expect to get internet services for free and the normal method of funding for these services has been to allow advertisers to control the content that we see. We have seen the advent of a new monetary technology that many believe will change the world. Though many of them argue about whether it is a currency or just a store of value. Might it be possible that we could use this new system to pay for content online? Thereby extracting ourselves from the increasingly hypnotic prison that we are building for ourselves.

Don't leverage your bitcoin. If you use it as collateral, then you are giving up ownership of your bitcoin. In all markets, the price tends to go where it causes most pain for most people.

Crypto is in the process of dying. This cycle has completely failed to deliver an alt season. No alt coin has anything to match the utility of lightning and nostr. I personally believe that this what is holding the BTC price down. There is insanely bullish news happening for Bitcoin, but many that hold bitcoin also hold crypto and are not fully aware of the difference. As their total portfolios are failing to meet their expectations, they are exiting their bitcoin positions.
