*“The $300 billion repricing was not random. It reflected investors accelerating their expectations around workflow substitution risk.
Feature competition compresses margins.
Workflow replacement redirects spend.
When workflows move, value moves with them.
Customers do not need to rip out legacy systems overnight for this to matter. They consolidate. They renegotiate. They reduce usage. Cash flow weakens before logos disappear. Markets understand this dynamic instinctively. That is why companies long considered “sticky” sold off together, regardless of near-term fundamentals.”*

*Bitcoin's claim to better money is a function of its attributes, not a function of how others are acting in the moment.
I do believe that whether Bitcoin's attributes will necessarily lead to widespread adoption and value accumulation is an open question. For various reasons, a socially preferable money may not be preferable at the individual level given current circumstances, leading to a "failure to launch" situation. So maybe what changed is the assessment of the launch probability?*

*The supply shock matters, but its impact depends on the structural adoption phase it coincides with—the size of the addressable market, the nature of new entrants, the macroeconomic context, the available use cases. What happens when you knock over the domino depends where they other dominoes are standing. A halving during sovereign adoption will have different magnitude effects than a halving during retail speculation, not because the mechanism changed but because the adoption phase changed.*

*If Saylor's buys truly don't move the market consistently in any direction, that suggests that exchange orderbooks are only a small fraction of the latent supply of bitcoins in the market, since Saylor is buying OTC.
The exchanges themselves may also be willing to sell Bitcoin on a very elastic basis, since they probably don't have a strong preference for either dollars or Bitcoin, they make money off volume and they only need enough holdings to cover withdrawal events.*
