@CryptoJelleNL
Expansion comes in waves.

A little chop after an aggressive breakout is completely normal.

Expecting a new leg higher soon - targeting $130k.

Pretty much bang on the nose where I will start selling off 25% of my stash.

Ready!

It's a very smart decision because the 25% ensures profits even as it reaches $130k because it becomes profits as it sells and the scenario is very prosperous to do so.

As long as the shorts continue to sell off, the price will continue to rise , people's Emotions will increase, new ATHs will be reached, and more options will continue to rise. So, good luck with your sales, and hopefully the plan will come to fruition.

A bent copper got caught with his pants down by the very same person he helped arrest.


A former National Criminal Agency (NCA) Officer was recently sentenced to five and a half years in prison after it was discovered that he stole 50 bitcoins from Silk Road 2.0 founder Thomas White while helping on the investigation. According to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the public prosecutor in England and Wales, Paul Chowles was part of the NCA team investigating Mr. White after he founded the dark web marketplace.

The initial post was from Homer and he was pointing out that the Steve Miller Band cancelled their tour for "Weather Conditions across the country".

And Phil replied with a lyric that was a play on Vapors middle name quip which incidentally also called out a middle name.

And I finished the lyric and linked the tune for those not in the know which brought it full circle to Homers post.

It was an excellently played out round.

I can’t say that I like this development, but if the United States is indeed sitting on way less Bitcoin than we thought, isn’t that somewhat bullish? The President has been saying over and over again in speeches that he wants the United States to lead. Right now we definitely aren’t leading China. Only one thing to do…

Sauces?
Because there are rumors that China sold off most cornz from 2020 on.

Found a sauce :

Yeah, but...
I actually asked about China's stash  

Didn't  get any source for China other than they've been secretly selling jaut as you've mentioned, they don't announce like US either https://www.theblock.co/post/350955
At the end, we just have to assume they do truly  have the 190kBtc  and for US to beat that they will be needing atleast 170k+ btc , doesn’t matter if their rivals already sold yet, if they did trully did sold  then China on the other hand,needs 190k+ to catchup ( just that it might not bee annouced once again ). Another speculation  could be that  they have more than that figure ....

Now they say 1.2 btc likely at 1 million a coin so they think in the USA you need 1.2 million in 2035 which is only true if you have social security medicare and a pension.

All these are hanging on the fact that bitcoin makes it to $1 million in 2035, which is a very big "if".
Not saying it's impossible, but it's certainly not a factor decisions should be based on because it's too uncertain.

Yeah, China doesn't like to play with open cards. Which has its disadvantages, not only for China's opponents, though.
If i only could find those old sources that shed a light on the China sells, but i failed until now.

EDIT: Still, there are articles covering the China selloff (2019, by the way).

According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, blockchain data shows that the seized Bitcoins were moved through coin mixers, a process typically used to obscure transaction trails, and subsequently deposited into centralized exchanges, including Huobi, in the latter half of 2019.

This movement suggests that the assets were liquidated soon after the seizure, in mid-2019, rather than retained by the state as part of any long-term reserve strategy. Although China is often listed among the top countries holding Bitcoin, the available data indicates that these holdings may no longer exist in government-controlled wallets.

The PlusToken case illustrates a broader challenge in estimating national Bitcoin reserves where seizure does not always equate to strategic accumulation. Without public reporting or wallet transparency, assumptions about government-held crypto remain speculative, especially in jurisdictions with limited financial disclosure.

It is 1 million plus or bust.

whether you think it takes longer than 2035 than shorter than 2025 is fine with me.

The design is basically made for endless price growth until 2050 or so.

I do agree that if is a big word in a small package. So maybe you are correct and we do not reach 1 million by 2035.

My point was more like 1.2 btc at 1 million a coin will likely fall short of retirement money.

Man I want to say everything is possible with Bitcoin touch this figure of $1 Million by 2035 is also possible without any uncertainty.

In last 15 years it's already touched from nowhere to $120K this is also possible to have this figure which is talked I am expecting at the end of this year $150K is going to be touched which could be turning point for this figure.
