This one is must watch
JUST IN: Tether buys 8,888 Bitcoin worth $750 million in Q1 2025 ๐
Crypto is in the process of dying.
This cycle has completely failed to deliver an alt season. No alt coin has anything to match the utility of lightning and nostr.
I personally believe that this what is holding the BTC price down.
There is insanely bullish news happening for Bitcoin, but many that hold bitcoin also hold crypto and are not fully aware of the difference. As their total portfolios are failing to meet their expectations, they are exiting their bitcoin positions.

The Paypal founder were trying to create something very much like bitcoin when they first started the company. They pivoted away from that, but that was what they believed in. Now that they have been instrumental in getting Trump to power and are actively participating the government, it seems that we are rebasing the dollar onto a Bitcoin standard.
"The PayPal Wars" by Eric Jackson provides interesting insights into PayPal's early objectives and evolution. According to the book, PayPal didn't start with the mission we associate with it today.
The company began as Confinity, founded by Max Levchin, Peter Thiel, and Luke Nosek in 1998. Their initial product wasn't a payment service but rather software for secure transactions between Palm Pilot devices. Their early vision focused on creating encrypted software that would allow mobile devices to become "digital wallets."
The pivotal shift came when they discovered that users were most interested in the email payment feature they had developed. The company quickly pivoted to focus on this capability, recognizing its massive potential. Their objective transformed into becoming the "new world currency" - they aimed to create a global currency system that could replace traditional banking and potentially even national currencies.
Peter Thiel often described their mission as creating "the WeaponizationOfMoney.com" - a financial system that would give individuals sovereignty over their money and protect it from government control and inflation. This libertarian vision guided many of their early decisions.

402 baby! We are so close.
The HTTP 402 "Payment Required" code was basically not used until bitcoin was a thing. It's exciting to be using it... just a nerd thing :)

News that Gamestop is going to invest their $4.6bn cash pile into bitcoin is insanely bullish for Bitcoin, but the price has not moved at all.
This is just one of many bits of news that would have sent the price soaring in 2021.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this might be the case?
What is wrong with the internet?

It looks to me like the USA government is moving onto a bitcoin standard.
Anyone disagree?
