That is very interesting data that no one would have appreciated had you not pointed it out.

Am I no-one to you? Apparently, but who gives a shit, certainly not me.

Me thinks he wants to point out who controls Bitcoin.
We know for a fact that the top-noch miners are made in China, and that they had hashrate dominance for the best part of ten years, so …
But that doesn’t mean that they still hold most of the Bitcoin pie, nor control it.

Bottomline - they control it up to a point - and kindly correct me if I’m wrong exphorizon.

You need evidence if you are going to make various arguments in regards to who supposedly controls bitcoin and how they supposedly control it. Probably also, you might need to consider the various ways that they supposedly control it in terms of the growth or lack thereof in the network effects, as outlined by trace mayor.

You are referring to what mining? or ownership of BTC? or developers? or how bitcoin is used? or financialization? or progress towards world reserve currency (or lack thereof?)?

Each of those areas have several subcomponents too... so sure maybe you can say that if you control one or two of the areas, then you would not need to control the rest because the rest would end up being a kind of facaade.. or a fake sense of reality that does not exist.

Observing 37,750@stamp

Price dipping and wondering why…. Then Twitter hit:

All is clear now.

If I were Apple, I would definitely be bagging up.

But then, I'm not a woke, hypocrite, poofter, ideolog I guess... Roll Eyes

Of course, percentage-wise of investment of company assets into bitcoin, it is going to be almost impossible for any kind of company, except one that is fairly centrally controlled like MSTR to be able to accumulate anything close to that level of its treasuries into something like bitcoin. Apple may well be several hundred times the size of MSTR in terms of it's treasuries and its cashflow, so it probably could take a way whimpier bitcoin strategy and still end up with way more bitcoin that Saylor/MSTR, yet at the same time, it seems quite unlikely that they are going to even try to do anything like that... and they probably could not be covertly with more than a couple of billion, even if they could somehow get away with that? And, even Tesla would have had some similar abilities to pass up Saylor/MSTR, but they need to have some level of willpower and commitment (beyond the administrative difficulties).

Any company that is going to try to either catch up to Saylor or to pass Saylor is going to likely have some troubles accomplishing such, especially without also having decently large impacts on moving the BTC market price.

At this rate, I have my doubts that Saylor is even going to stop at 210k BTC, even though that would be a nice round number of BTC to have and maybe even to maintain.. so if he goes beyond 210k BTC, then he could keep buying more but then saying that he and/or his company will never go below 210k BTC... so then after getting above that number he could declare that he has enough.. but Saylor no does not think like a normal person.. so probably he will not be able to stop accumulating and amassing more and more bitcoin.

Saylor is a true believer which I respect, rather than being just another hack which so many of these famous people who got catapulted to stardom through Bitcoin or via shitcoins.

I doubt he has a set goal in mind.

Too much is never enough.
