Hahahahaha 😂🤣🤣

Reform UK want to get on the Bitcoin bandwagon. Mr Yusuf might not see any reason why Bitcoin can’t end up being a meaningful chunk of Britain’s wealth, but I can. Their announced bill is merely to formalise capital gains at 10% and accept tax receipts paid in crypto. That’s not going to get them much corn.. So then they’re in the nation state race and not accumulating much. Oh no. They’re falling behind! Shit! Their Sats per Capita is really low! They have revenue targets to meet! They promised to be world leaders in the space! Guess they’d better start knocking on doors of all these people who bought KYCed corn and start ensuring they’re not dodging those taxes which they can’t enforce via normal mechanisms.. Once this kicks off in earnest, things are going to get squirly for Bitcoiners. These people have not yet truly understood what a fixed supply means, they’ll find out the hard way, and then so will everyone else. View quoted note →

Frank, like all other Goldbugs, misses step 2.5 Step 1…print money to buy gold Step 2…revalue gold to a much higher price Step 2.5…You’ve just made all of your competitors like China, Russia, India etc who are sitting on a shitton of gold in their vaults, let alone massive untapped deposits, that much wealthier The only way a gold revaluation works is to do it, and then immediately dump it and pump the Bitcoin stack. First half you do super loud, second part as quiet as possible. Step 3 then becomes peg to #Bitcoin Personally I don’t want this to happen and I still thinks odds are low, but if a gold revaluation does happen in the next 12-18 months then this is how I expect it to play out. Goldbugs will mock Bitcoiners and feel vindicated for a few weeks/months and then get massively rugged as it’s value collapses to that of industrial use commodity and Bitcoin moons permanently. The US wants to dominate the global (as much of the globe as possible at least) financial system and they’re simply not positioned to do that with gold, they don’t have nearly enough control, and they’re going to pull back from policing the entire world making it far riskier for gold-backed international trade. That last point is the biggest thing everyone ignores - they project the current status quo into the new scenario and fail to account for the US Navy now only protecting the US security sphere (those under the dollar umbrella) rather than the whole globe, and the amount of piracy that would ensue.

Full video of Saylor’s nonsense answer for why Microstrategy won’t publish Proof of Reserves. Every time he opens his mouth of late, he’s giving more reason for Bitcoiners to be skeptical. It might fly with financebros, it won’t with anyone who has studied #Bitcoin. View quoted note →

An excellent visualisation of the #AUStriches #HousingPonzi No idea when the music stops. Buyers have to come from somewhere and it’s clear that is not average Australians any more.

Everywhere power structures are disrupted, the ensuing vacuum seems to result in massive unintended consequences. Is it better the devil you know? Or the lack of accountability allowing even greater degeneracy?
