Look, I think it’s only a matter of time before China pulls a complete 180 on its Bitcoin ban. Yes, they outlawed trading and mining back in 2021, but honestly, a lot has changed since then — especially this year. Bitcoin’s momentum globally has been insane. We’ve seen US President-Elect Donald Trump calling to stockpile Bitcoin; Bitcoin ETFs get approved, Fed Chair Jerome Powell calling Bitcoin “digital gold,” Larry Fink flipping pro-Bitcoin, and even Putin saying nice things about it. With all of this happening, I wouldn’t be shocked if China has already started quietly stacking sats (buying bitcoin).Here’s why I…

When I saw Nic Carter’s recent Bloomberg interview, I couldn’t help but shake my head. Nic, who’s been a long-time Bitcoiner and someone I respect, said that the US shouldn’t—and won’t—buy Bitcoin for its strategic reserves because it would supposedly signal weakness in the dollar on the global stage. I get his argument, but I completely disagree. In fact, I think it’s the exact opposite.In my view, adding Bitcoin to the US reserves would be a massive show of strength. It would send a message to the world that the US sees Bitcoin for what it is: a financial safeguard,…

Nicole Eggert made a surprising revelation about her days starring in the iconic TV series “Baywatch.”For over a decade, fans around the world tuned in to watch the show’s team of red swimsuit-clad lifeguards run in slow motion down California’s sun-soaked beaches. While the weather on “Baywatch” appeared idyllic, Eggert, 52, told Fox News Digital that in reality, she and her co-stars frequently endured frigid temperatures during filming. “The cold days you have — the bad always outweighs the good,” she said with a laugh when asked what she remembered most about her time on “Baywatch.”Eggert continued, “So, it was like…

Follow Nikolaus On 𝕏 Here For Daily Posts Yesterday, BlackRock released a new video aimed at educating people interested in Bitcoin on the asset class.The video is quite good, honestly. I think they took inspiration from Saifedean Ammous’ book “The Bitcoin Standard,” which discusses the history of money from the beginning of time and how it has changed and evolved throughout history. Launched in January, IBIT has now topped $50 Billion in assets as investors are increasingly using the ETP to get efficient exposure to bitcoin’s price. Yet many investors are still relatively new to the digital assets space. For…

One counter-argument against pushing for greater scalability with Bitcoin is that “most people won’t self-custody anyway, so why bother?” This is a wildly assumptive, arrogant, and outright fallacious argument. It is the same type of logical fallacy that human beings can’t help but make. The current state of the present is an indicator of what the state of the future will be. “It’s not raining today, so it won’t be raining tomorrow.” It’s exactly the type of thinking that led Bitcoiners during the last market cycle to take for granted we would hit 100-200 thousand dollars as a peak then.…
