The bankers/politicians (globalist elite) and the nationalists (primarily the commercial real estate junta) are at war over the money.
It's the European-style autocratic types on one side and the likes of Trump on the other.
One side will burn civilization down to remain in control. The other side believes you have to be able to defend it to "own" it.
Whoever picks #bitcoin will win, but it probably won't be a pure solution for longer than I'll be alive.

Been buying bitcoin since 2018. I particularly like http://river.com. The Bitcoin White Paper http://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Bitcoin didn't flunk a thing. It's being acted upon to slow it down. On one side you have the bankers who want to hold on to their hegemony. On the other side you have the people in high places who know we need a monetary reset but know if we go too fast too many people get left behind.
Bitcoin isn't tied to liquidity. It's tied to will. It's the escape hatch that will open when they are ready for it to open. This is the time to quit looking at it as a financial instrument that is a part of the curreng system and realize that it is the new system.
Gold and silver are the great aunt and uncle who traveled a lot and have good stories. But they didn't have kids and didn't end up producing anything lasting. That rug will get pulled at some point, and everyone who thought they were hedges will be dumbfounded.
Bitcoin will run and will eat everything. It won't be excess liquidity that will do it. It will be the decision that the fiat system is over that will.

It will be Dec 26 soon.
I've been in this long enough to know that #bitcoin always recovers because it's the best money, but I hate these retractions as much as the next guy.
Time for a balmy Christmas walk down my road. 

I can't say 2025 was a bad year. It was fast, a lot happened personally, but it was solid.
Been back on my property in Texas the past few days. Sorry Ohio, but it is so much better down here.
By early 2030s the dollar should be all but dead, and Trump will be gone. So tell me again about this distraction of a plan?
