All this makes me happy and proud that hodlers like us, the WO gang, have always been visionaries and envisioned things long before they happened. And this is rewarded with the profit we have.

Gentlemen,
Believe me when I say that the price is the consequence of being right, not the cause.
And the feeling of being right, and being right with you guys, the WO gang, is a by far superior feeling than seeing the price going into six figures.

Why everyone so lovey dovey when the BTC price is going up? especially Italians.. .#justsaying

I think ole Sammy BF and his FTX shenanigans messed up the previous ATH and I believe we will blow past 100k just like we blew past 20k... well have to keep our eyes open or we'll miss it.

look at the wall at 100k though lol

gonna bounce hard off that for a bit methinks

however being wrong is a personal hobby of mine.

Oh gawd..

What a noob.

After all this time, in these here parts, you actually believe in "walls"?

You must not know nuttin...

Likely that you've been reading (and actually taking seriously) too many of Philipma1957 posts. Tongue

This bears watching.
we went from 68k to 91k

and we lost hashrate.
It could mean the major mines are very filled with gear.

Much like when my 300kwatt mine became power maxxed we found we need to dial back a bit. One would think that the big players would want to load up on gear.
This bears watching to see if we are going to see mining hashrate will be flat into a massive price rise.

Too small to know if it is a real trend.
BTW in the 2017 runup this happened prices mooned like made and hash rate did not.
hears to that.

At least you seem to be moving a bit off your earlier theory that BTC prices are supposedly constrained by hash (meaning that BTC prices follow hash)... so little by little... Rome wasn't built in a day.

I don't know if we fully realize what good times have come for BTC. 4-5 years ago we dreamed of ETFs and that one day the US would consider Bitcoin as similar to gold. ETFs have been a reality for a long time now, and the huge influence in this market is evident. I generally do not approve of Trump as a person and because of his policy towards Ukraine. But it is a fact that this is the first president to speak out in favor of Bitcoin and promising to make it a national reserve asset. This is already happening in the state of Pennsylvania. Coincidentally or not, it was precisely the state that decided the battle in his favor. I think it's safe to say that Trump won thanks to the votes of bitcoin holders as well. What's next - first for it to actually happen in the US. If the bill to buy 1 million bitcoins is approved, it will have a "huuuge" ( Wink

) impact on the market. Soon after, Europe and China will follow suit. I am absolutely convinced that Germany will one day buy the same bitcoins that it sold at many times higher price. All this makes me happy and proud that hodlers like us, the WO gang, have always been visionaries and envisioned things long before they happened. And this is rewarded with the profit we have.

Trump is completely unpredictable in this case because he was the president of the US from 2016 to 2020 and at that time he said that Bitcoin was a scam - and towards the end of his term he passed some very unfavorable laws for Bitcoin which were then mostly revoked by the Biden administration, and it should also be taken into account that futures and spot ETFs were approved precisely during the mandate of the Biden administration.

Trump doesn't have to "thank" anyone except those with big wallets who financed his campaign, and ordinary people served the purpose of voting anyway, and for the last time as Trump promised them.

Even if the US starts buying BTC for its reserves, I don't believe that the EU would follow that example, let alone China. The ECB with Lagarde at the head has an extremely negative attitude towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, while China with its communist ideology does not want anything it cannot control, and even less something in which the US will have a large share.

As for Germany, it was not the German government that seized or sold BTC, it was a German province where the seizure took place, and they only followed the law in liquidating the seized funds. In addition, I think that the member states of the Eurozone cannot make any investments of this type without the ECB - a few years ago, the question of selling part of Italy's gold arose, considering that at that time they were the third country in the world in terms of gold reserves. As far as I remember, the ECB commented that selling gold to refinance debts is not an option.

Wow Lucius. You really believe that ECB and some of the other supposedly bitcoin hostile jurisdictions are not going to be forced into changing their tune.

Game theory is a bitch, and they should not be so dumb as to ignore game theory for too long.. and sure there are always going to be winners and losers.. early adopters and laggarts.. and it is not going to be exactly black and white, even though the earlier that anyone comes around to bitcoin (even covertly), the better they are likely going to end up.. .. and yeah, maybe some of them are talking down bitcoin while they are secretly accumulating it, too?
