People seem to forget that the other way the #MSTR premium can resolve is that #BTC goes up.

Senator Lummis proposing a strategic #BTC reserve of 1,000,000 BTC amounts to .003 BTC/citizen. RFK’s 4,000,000 BTC (unrealistic?) proposal is still only 0.012 BTC/ person. That shows the significance of building to even just 0.01 BTC on your own. 0.01 BTC is significant.

I think we have 12-18 months before #BTC gets 12x-18x more expensive to own. 24 months max. Do your homework now.

No one: “Hey I bet you can’t tank the market, keep inflation high, and print billions of dollars at the same time.” J. Powell: “Hold my beer.”

So we could have all of this happening within months of each other: 1) Bank failures 2) Bank bailouts 3) Rate pause or even easing 4) Russia trading internationally with #BTC  5) More QE (money printing) 6) Spot BTC ETF in USA 7) BTC halving BTC may not go sideways much longer.

With the advances in AI making it so easy for fake/misleading videos to be created and circulated, is there any way we can implement proof of work to create some sort of verifiable news outlet instead of having to filter through all the junk ourselves to find truth? No specific suggestions here, just questions. I feel like we are heading down a path to a ‘1984’ world very quickly and having some verifiably reliable source of truth would change the world significantly for the better. I just have no idea where we would start to do that. Ideas?

So many people would love to tell us WHAT to think. Our only defense is to learn HOW to think. Learning how to solve problems, analyze data, and come to our own conclusion is our only hope in the world of deep fakes, chat GPT, and other manipulation technologies that already exist or are yet to come. Don’t trust, verify. Learn HOW so that YOU can determine the true WHAT.
