“An anti-Bitcoin president might be better. It forces people to use it the right way. Anonymous. Sovereign.” @Knut Svanholm ∞/21M joins to discuss: 🔸 Why Democracy Leads to Tyranny 🔸 AI + Fiat = 1984 🔸 Creative Process in an AI world Watch on YouTube: Listen on Fountain:
Vanguard now lets 50 million clients access regulated bitcoin funds, a shift driven partly by new CEO Salim Ramji after years of citing bitcoin’s volatility.
Of course this is how Trump essentially announces that Kevin Hassett will be nominated as the next Fed Chair 😅
MSTR CEO: We are building reserves to withstand a drawdown in Bitcoin and sustained mNAV below 1 for three years. This means in the worst case, we wouldn't have to sell Bitcoin until 2029.
Strategy has NOT been approved to the S&P500. The fake news was originally posted by a parody account. image
Through partnerships with @PUBKEY and its local community, the @Bitcoin District Initiative will build a Bitcoin education hub and onboard 100 businesses in 2026 to a Bitcoin circular economy in Washington, DC.
Vanguard 2024: We don't plan to offer a spot Bitcoin ETF, and we're not going to change our minds. Vanguard 2025: Bitcoin ETF starts tomorrow on our platform
BREAKING: Vanguard, the world’s second-largest asset manager, will now allow ETFs and mutual funds that primarily hold cryptocurrencies to trade on its platform, reversing its longtime stance. The shift follows persistent retail and institutional demand, with spot Bitcoin ETFs pulling in billions since launch. BlackRock’s IBIT still holds around 70 billion dollars despite recent outflows and price weakness. image
OPERATION CHOKEPOINT 3.0: WHY THEY'RE ATTACKING SACKS, SAYLOR & TETHER For the past six weeks, Bitcoin’s price has been pummelled. Alongside that beating, we have been witnessing a coordinated, full-spectrum assault on some of the most influential pro-Bitcoin voices in America. We are talking David Sacks, Tether, Jack Mallers and Michael Saylor all taking major hits at the same time. Welcome to Operation Chokepoint 3.0. The bankers have declared Total War on Bitcoin. Let’s look at the battlefield. First, they came for the infrastructure. Jack Mallers, CEO of Strike, has his accounts at JPMorgan Chase shut down after calling Jamie Dimon Jeffrey Epstein’s banker. No real explanation was given, despite an executive order from Trump that explicitly prohibits this type of debanking. Next, they target the liquidity. Tether, the lifeblood of global crypto markets, was downgraded by S&P to a stability score of “weak,” claiming they are undercollateralized. Even Arthur Hayes has started throwing shade, saying a 30% drop in Bitcoin would wipe out their equity. But Paolo Ardoino fires back with the receipts: Tether has $30B more dollars in total assets than total liabilities. In a system full of insolvent fractional reserve banks, Tether is the only overcapitalized player. Then they pivot to politics. The New York Times drops a sprawling hit piece on David Sacks, the so-called Crypto Czar. They spent five months trying to manufacture a conflict of interest story. When they found nothing, they published a nothing-burger anyway. Why? To weaken the pro-Bitcoin voice inside the White House. And finally, they come for Gigachad himself, Michael Saylor. You have seen the Ponzi accusations flying around X. They want you to believe MicroStrategy is one dip to $74K away from liquidation. So let’s be clear. There are no margin calls. Saylor’s debt is fixed, long term and unshakeable. So you have to ask yourself: why now? Why is the FUD dial turned to eleven? The answer is simple. The legacy financial system has witnessed the legitimization of Bitcoin and they are scared. This is the monetary war we have been warning you about. The Trump administration is preparing to weaponize the Bitcoin and stablecoin flywheel to break the monopoly the banks have held over the money supply for a century. New bills like the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act threaten to shift money creation away from the Fed and the big banks and toward a more decentralized network. The banks are staring down the barrel of increased irrelevance as they lose control of the money printer. Vijay Boyapati called it. He said to expect maximum FUD right before the clean break upward because max FUD usually marks the bottom. They are trying to shake you out. They are trying to humiliate the loudest voices pushing Bitcoin forward. They are fighting for their lives because for the first time in a hundred years, people are beginning to believe there is another way to run this system. image
The global financial system, as currently built, struggles to function when Japan can’t push the price of money back down toward 0%. image
