In the recent podcast between @npub15dql...lm5m and @Danny Knowles what Saylor is completely missing with his “Bitcoiners are overreacting” take is that he isn’t pricing bitcoin ATHs in gold. Yeah we’re doing fine in dollar terms, but 2025 was brutally bad for Bitcoin when priced in gold.

Just sending my gold and silver bling through to an exchange, so I can a bit of liquidity to treat myself this evening and buy some cheap corn. Oh wait, bollocks.
Starting to wonder if the day will ever come…
Silver? Really? The original shitcoin is someone outperforming bitcoin and we think people are actually going to wake up anytime soon?
What makes Bitcoin safe?
If I have physical gold hidden somewhere and someone physically tortures me to make me give up that location, what would stop them physically torturing me to give up my seed phrase?
Genuinely, if shit hit the fan you wouldn't be concerned with online purchases, gold silver Bitcoin or whatever else would be used for local trade in that scenario.
And if it's because people don't know you have Bitcoin, the same applies for gold or silver.
Nobody would need to know until it starts getting spent in which case people know.
The whole stock market side of it is just a scam, that's not real gold, it's not real Bitcoin either.
It's just IOUs.
I wouldn't be surprised if half the gold and Bitcoin on the stock market or crypto exchanges doesn't exist.
It'd be interesting to see a bank run event take place on crypto exchanges, bet most would run out.
the gold bugs have been dreaming of this "bank run event" for decades. it is very unlikely.
with governments that have money printers and economies that are dependent on the house of cards, they can paper over any bank runs.
Incredible insight as always! High time preference often blinds people from the bigger picture. While the markets fluctuate today the fundamental strength of Bitcoin remains untouched. We are still in the early stages of this global shift. Patience is a virtue and Im here for the long haul. Keep preaching the truth Matt!
So you're saying if everyone removed their Bitcoin from exchanges and put it into self custody that the exchanges would "paper over" it?
What does that even mean?
