Microstrategy is ready to invest again, but I think today is the 12th week of Bitcoin buying, and I think they will invest in Bitcoin again on January 27, 2025. Because they are only concerned with increasing their Bitcoin portfolio investment in the future, this pattern suggests an imminent Bitcoin purchase.

This is the wrong thread for your post. There's another thread created by the OP for MicroStrategy updates here.





Trump likes the idea of Federal Stockpile. Coming from New York news.
The crypto industry is pushing for a "strategic reserve". This will definitely send bitcoin price to the moon.

Before Donald Trump came up with the idea of setting up a Strategic Reserve, I am sure he liked the idea. But just as the other part of the article said, some critics see it as a bad idea. I am just assuming that there might be different levels of lobbying going on now from both proponents and opponents of the BSR.

Anti-Bitcoin forces like Bradley Garlinghouse (CEO of Ripple) are pushing for a US multi-coin strategic reserve, instead of only Bitcoin. Maybe all this heavy political lobbying is what might be delaying the Executive Order of the establishment of the SR.

some critics see it as a bad idea.

That's to be expected. On a higher conspiracy level: what if those critics are also meant to make it cheaper to buy those coins?

the basel committee (of the BIS) moved their regulation start date to be jan 2026 instead of jan2025, i believe this is because they are aware of ATH season and instead want the international banking community to only go on a buying spree in the correction season not the high season(logical common sense)

BULLISH: 🇺🇸 Bitcoin adoption continues to grow as the State of Ohio introduces a bill for a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

This is a big win for Bitcoin as more States will likely follow suit
Ohio is taking a bold step towards massive development in their financial and technological aspects by establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve.



https://x.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1883270450077429793?t=a4X_s0EIYSJsiVAk-FJV1w&s=19

What the world really needs is a strategic Bitcoin reserve and this is a Big win for Bitcoin and the people of OHIO and i strongly agree with you that more States Will join this Bitcoin Strategic reserve Movement.

Congrats once more to the people of Ohio for taking the right decision at the right time

I cannot tell if we are saying similar things or not.  I am trying to suggest that value is going to continue to flow into bitcoin no matter what, yet there could be various kinds of governmental actions and/or the actions of various market actors that affect the trajectory one way or another and in ways that we cannot really figure out how they are going to play out.

Yes, we are saying same time while you gave a better point on the trajectory of it moving either gradually or suddenly but I was still just on the fact that either ways in the long run, the growth will still be positive. This is similar to how the trajectory has been going since the creation of Bitcoin.

No manipulation is required, even though several governments are going to try to manipulate it, and I am not going to count out king daddy, even if it might take 50-200 years for value to gravitate into bitcoin, even though sure in the mean time, is bitcoin debilitated at some point along the way, or does it continue to operate in a tick tock next block kind of way?  or what are the attacks going to be?

There will always be a fight but as long Bitcoiners are together we are still bigger than all of their feature plans since we have been on a fight before now.

I have trouble with accepting or believing that "the good guy always wins" or whatever it might be that you are trying to say...

Another thing is that the whole world's population are likely going to end up as bitcoiners, yet at this point there are hardly any bitcoiners in terms of the whole population.. so there are some contingencies who seem to have more influence than others whether in traditional systems or in bitcoin systems, and surely there are going to be overlapping of the circles (contingencies), and so it can be difficult to figure out how systems will prevail, even though many of us likely recognize how incentives have been created in bitcoin so that even if some folks are working to get greater influence in the bitcoin system, there are counter reactions that end up causing bitcoin to get stronger rather than weaker, yet there still could end up being imperfections in the incentive systems that end up contributing to unexpected attack vectors and splitting of bitcoins and difficulties in figuring out which is the correct bitcoin, so will we know which side are the "good guys" if all the money seems to be on one side, and so sure, follow the money, right?  Does that end in the right outcome? I am not going to take any of it for granted, even though I also have quite a bit of my own investment of time, energy and value in bitcoin.. yet aren't there still ways that each of us should be trying to hedge?  or not?  And we might not even agree about the extent that we should hedge or how to hedge, and does that end up in the better outcome and knowing what is the right bitcoin to follow?

Sadly all these are possible. When the majority are mainly concerned the money/value, then with time I think the fight will be lost because when the priority is money in the long run things often end side ways while when focusing on other fundamentals like decentralization and the likes the money/value will surely come and last longer though not quickly as when the focus is money but will definitely outpaced it.

I guess as we make others invest in Bitcoin we also need to enlighten them about the reason for it creation, the fundamental principles rather than the ROI.

Sure right now there are ways to try to KYC everyone and make self-custody illegal, yet I have my doubts about if that will be successful, even though they may well end up coming after some of us (or many of us? or can they get most of us to not self-custody, then it may well be easier to target some of us).

Self-custody except they can make the masses lose the reason for it, all their plan against will be vain. To be frank I think the government is already losing this fight since with time many are coming into the realization of self custody, and many here came to this realization through this forum and I'm one.

There are going to be ongoing attacks on self custody, and so there can be communication difficulties to make sure that we are able to transact peer to peer and to have peer to peer circles for transactions, so I am not going to presume peer to peer is going to win the day, and I am also not going to presume that government is dead or that the reasons for government have disappeared, including that people surely have different views about the role of government, so even if battles might not be happening about whether governments should be responsible and to spend within their means, people are not going to necessarily like the disappearance of certain governmental systems or even if some government leaders might be using governmental systems to attack their perceived political enemies, and I am not going to proclaim to know exactly where bitcoin, crypto and/or other financial interactions fit into various transitions that might even incentivize governments to spend within their means, yet governments still might be unable to figure out ways to spend within their means, and even those who are deviating from fiscal responsibility may well end up getting rewarded, which seems to be rewarding bad behaviors contrary to bitcoin ideas, yet it can still be difficult to sort out or even to figure out, including potentially how to preserve our own value if some folks might have direct or inferential information that you have more bitcoin than they believe you deserve... so then you giving up your keys or are you going to die on principles...and just believe that it is all going to work out, when you personally have been the one who ends up getting targeted because it is "known" or inferred that you have more bitcoin than you deserve.

Full blown self custody for everyone will not be possible while many will still be using KYC, others will have the chances for self custody this will be continually possible, my take is that the government(s) cannot entirely banned the right for self custody.

Surely, I am not going to claim to know the answers or even to presume that the good guy always wins or even that many of the matters will be resolved in the coming 5-20 years or even the fact that it could take 50-200 years to resolve some of the matters, there may well be a considerable number of folks who are not able to make sure that they don't get reckt while anticipating that matters are going to resolve themselves in "the correct" ways because bitcoin happens to have all the "good guys" behind it.. and for sure, you can see some problems in presuming bitcoiners are good guys merely because they are bitcoiners or even to give more status to older bitcoiners versus younger bitcoiners since the older ones would have the true cypherpunk vision as compared to the newer ones who just want to create ordinals, inscriptions, NFTs, runes and/or meme coins in order to get themselves rich faster than anyone else based on their cleverness in making the coin/project or their ability to garner up name recognition and momentum.  Those are the good guys, right?  or how do we know who are the good guys?  Have they infiltrated the nodes and the miners, yet? Are they changing the code?  Maybe the ones who are refusing to change the code are the bad guys?  How do we know?

I think we should stick with the true cypherpunk vision stated by Satoshi in the white paper but the fact that they continue to state Bitcoin is now bigger than Satoshi may likely lead to another hard fork again and other changes on Bitcoin.

You can do whatever you like in terms of trying to  market bitcoin how you like, or to propose that there is some kind of a "we must" do x, y or z, yet in the end, bitcoin already has monetary incentive built into its core.  It is designed with monetary incentives that will bring everyone to bitcoin, sooner or later.

Sure right now there are ways to try to KYC everyone and make self-custody illegal, yet I have my doubts about if that will be successful, even though they may well end up coming after some of us (or many of us? or can they get most of us to not self-custody, then it may well be easier to target some of us).

I doubt that you can really proclaim to know what is possible and what is not possible in terms of both development still happening, and not all transactions (or holding of bitcoin) has to be on the first layer of bitcoin in order to still be pegged to the first layer of bitcoin or verified by the first layer.  We do not necessarily need to presume that second or third layers are going to be centralized (and/or KYC'd), yet I do agree with the various kinds of conceptions that centralized systems could be built upon an already existing decentralized base (i.e. bitcoin), yet decentralized systems would not be possible to build on top of centralized systems, which tends to be the problem of the various chains attempting to compete with bitcoin.. so there could also be somewhat decentralized systems build on top of an already existing decentralized system like bitcoin, yet it is not really necessary for the 2nd/3rd layers to be completely decentralized as long as they are resolved back to the base layer at some point (perhaps regularly and/or reasonably which also could likely have a lot of variance of how frequently such 2nd/3rd layers would need to resolve back to the base layer).
 

Surely, I am not going to claim to know the answers or even to presume that the good guy always wins or even that many of the matters will be resolved in the coming 5-20 years or even the fact that it could take 50-200 years to resolve some of the matters, there may well be a considerable number of folks who are not able to make sure that they don't get reckt while anticipating that matters are going to resolve themselves in "the correct" ways because bitcoin happens to have all the "good guys" behind it.. and for sure, you can see some problems in presuming bitcoiners are good guys merely because they are bitcoiners or even to give more status to older bitcoiners versus younger bitcoiners since the older ones would have the true cypherpunk vision as compared to the newer ones who just want to create ordinals, inscriptions, NFTs, runes and/or meme coins in order to get themselves rich faster than anyone else based on their cleverness in making the coin/project or their ability to garner up name recognition and momentum.  Those are the good guys, right?  or how do we know who are the good guys?  Have they infiltrated the nodes and the miners, yet?

You keep coming back to various ideas about what "we" should do, and I am having trouble seeing how these various "we"s play out.

JUST IN: Arizona is the first state to pass a bill out of committee to create a ‘Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.’

Co-sponsored by Wendy Rogers and Jeff Weninger, the bill now heads to the state Senate floor for a vote.
https://x.com/BitcoinNewsCom/status/1884014101145518451?t=dguLTsoqNS2z-VaS5X2JRw&s=19



It passed the bill out of committee, but it now moves to the floor for a vote.  But I believe there can be no wiser people with Bitcoin being the bottleneck so I can say without a doubt that it will get a massive vote and the bill will be an immediate success.

[Amphenomenon]

Yes the monetary incentives indeed will bring more people to Bitcoin but if many fails to realized it other essence, I guess there is a more tendency for the primary aim to be shift to censorship and the likes, as long as investors are being to make money nothing really matters to many.

Also, there is high tendency that during the bear or maybe any downtrend news, many without ground knowledge may panic sell or just be sway by the media on either way like we saw in the late months of 2022 when bitcoin price crashes to $15k+.

 

Surely, I am not going to claim to know the answers or even to presume that the good guy always wins or even that many of the matters will be resolved in the coming 5-20 years or even the fact that it could take 50-200 years to resolve some of the matters, there may well be a considerable number of folks who are not able to make sure that they don't get reckt while anticipating that matters are going to resolve themselves in "the correct" ways because bitcoin happens to have all the "good guys" behind it.. and for sure, you can see some problems in presuming bitcoiners are good guys merely because they are bitcoiners or even to give more status to older bitcoiners versus younger bitcoiners since the older ones would have the true cypherpunk vision as compared to the newer ones who just want to create ordinals, inscriptions, NFTs, runes and/or meme coins in order to get themselves rich faster than anyone else based on their cleverness in making the coin/project or their ability to garner up name recognition and momentum.  Those are the good guys, right?  or how do we know who are the good guys?  Have they infiltrated the nodes and the miners, yet?

Anyway, everyone has their view but I think if majority still has the true cypherpunk vision then the fight will be more easier to win in comparison to the current view of Bitcoin for NFTs, runes and the likes, where instead they could just opt for other blockchains for it.

warning. do not invest in metaplanet

if they are buying during bitcoins ATH but may need to cash out during bitcoins correction, not only should their economic investment planners/strategists be fired, but they should learn when to take the best opportunity/strategy


that said, they could be playing a card up their sleeve, already having their hoard and wanting other people to pump the price so they can sell more at ATH to rebuy and accumulate more in correction

how can they call their desires of a strategic reserve, a "strategic" reserve, by pretending to not have a strategy

Donald Trump say, "The United States will be the world capital of Crypto."

Donald Trump mentioned such an announcement a long time ago, he probably mentioned it before he won the election. Maybe everyone is now waiting to see if they will accept the reserve.

Today another company has accepted Bitcoin reserves. Currently, just as US states are accepting Bitcoin reserves, Similarly, inspired by them, many companies are now accepting Bitcoin as a reserve. For example, the Nuvve company has already done that.

"raising"
then they are not using their reserve

they are instead using other peoples money.. in short just becoming a portfolio manager/standard investment

again best not invest in metaplanet, their strategy has no strategy and they are not putting their own funds on the line

card up the sleeve opinion, MP already have some coin hoarded and bought cheap. and now want investors money to have cashflow by pretending the already got coin is being bought during ATH(at premium) to then claim a investor loss during correction. so that whilst investors sold out at a loss, mp use that 2025 'raised' money to buy(give back money at XX% less) coin at correction aka rob peter to pay paul
