What if the price of gold is rising because the gov is spending so much money to hold the price of bitcoin down, that they can't afford to suppress gold anymore?

The govt will need to get bitcoin income. I don't like the privacy implications of taxing bitcoin, and I don't like the incentives to decrease the security of networks if the govt relies on stealing bitcoin. That leaves direct mining by govt. They need to just buy mining rigs and run them to fund operations.

GM. Block 835665, 1499 sats/$, 104590 sats/gold gram. I'm feeling positive about the future.

Guys, it's time to talk about how the federal government wastes energy. The green movement attacks on bitcoin energy use can be redirected to benefit bitcoin by reducing the size of agencies

I wonder if these ETF buyers realize the potential gains they may make, are payment for the risk they take in exposing their BTC holdings to the authorities, and as they achieve these gains, the risk is reduced (by their act of holding). By holding a BTC ETF they run the risk of having *all* their holdings seized (not just bitcoin), and simultaneously reduce the risk that everyone's holdings may be seized. The final achievement in this line would be an actual authority ordering an ETF to turn over their bitcoin, and the ETF deciding to distribute bitcoin to holders in non-compliance.

Reminder, the dollar is a fungible pan-bank liability backed by toxic debt.

In a couple years JP Morgan forks Bitcoin to Proof of Stake verified by a federation of big banks, raises the cap of issued coins, pays bounties to carbon sequestration, and notarizes your ID on chain. Oh and you need to use it to receive EBT food stamps which they operate. Which ETFs will follow this chain and call it Bitcoin?
