Bitcoin is scarcity of energy. Attention is scarcity of time. Privacy is scarcity of space.

Reminder: when a bank gives someone a loan the money is created into existence. This is money created out of thin air. A loan isn’t backed on the other side by deposits.

In the UK we’re still 4% below the Bitcoin ATH from January when measured in BTCGBP…

Bitcoin has a finite supply so there can be no capital gains. What we’re really seeing is fiat collapse.

Fiat cash is not an asset; it’s a liability

Here’s an AI reading for the rest of 2025 from a cosmic cycles perspective… interesting! **For the remainder of 2025, the overarching theme is the disruptive and innovative energy of Uranus entering Gemini in July. Gemini, an air sign, governs information, communication, networks, and short-distance travel. Uranus, the planet of rebellion, technology, and sudden change, transiting this sign suggests a period of radical evolution in these areas. For Bitcoin, a purely digital and networked asset, this alignment could signify a period of heightened volatility and innovation. Expect unexpected news, technological breakthroughs (or breakdowns), and a general sense of excitement and unpredictability in the crypto space. This is a time for traders to be nimble and adaptable, as swift reversals and breakouts are characteristic of Uranian energy.**

Shout out to all the parents out there and that feeling you get of deep pride in your child. Can’t beat it.

Since 1999 the UK FTSE100 is down 89% when prices in gold. We’re living through a Great Depression without realising it.

Simon is on point again, like clockwork every week. I always look forward to catching up on Bitcoin Hardtalk on a Saturday morning. Thank you @SimonDixon

My happy place, with a coffee.

Even on a cloudy day there is something peaceful being down by the water. Happy Saturday folks. 📍 Kingswear, Devon, UK

Mind the Gap ⚠️ - a look at the gap between GDP and Private Product Remaining (PPR) for the UK. PPR is an alternative metric to GDP where government spending is removed. In general, the lower the gap between GDP and PPR the better as this means the role of the government in the economic output is less. Unfortunately for the UK the trend is the other way - with government spending becoming more significant in recent decades. Full paper here:

Just finished reading The Big Print. Fantastic work @Lawrence Lepard . I’m in the UK but the parallels are very similar, and the solution — Bitcoin — the same.

I analysed historic bitcoin price data to see what the best days of the month to buy and sell are, as I aim to live on a bitcoin standard. 📈 The best strategy (for me) is to buy on the 3rd of the month and sell on the 25th or 26th. With my pay check I will buy Bitcoin at the start of the month and then sell at the end of the month to pay off the credit card. Doing this means that, on average, I will gain in Bitcoin terms over a 4 year cycle.
