IMO, if the paper Bitcoin are backed by real Bitcoin, either ETF or Echange, they count.
If you follow the "NYKNYC" principle, they don't count.
It's a matter of perspective, but also paper Bitcoin holders are Bitcoin holders, so far.

I did not want to send you an smerit to ruin your merit record, then I just said to lil selfie:  "Fuck it... .. who gives a shit about numerology?"





Yeah  Grin
I don't give a shit about numerology, i kinda make fun of it sometimes, because occasionally numbers do klick in place when playing around with them mathematically.
My mind does this all the time on its own, it also decodes virtual abbreviations from license plates, which is not always that much fun (it's still brainwork, exhausting over longer periods of time) when there is heavy traffic in the other direction. Some numbers just look beautiful (230032) or have meanings (42, 666) and/or are primes. Don't ask  Wink
Honestly, thanks for the snip, i appreciate that, but i also made one myself quickly yesterday at 4k Merits Tongue
And yes, i played around with the other numbers, trying to extract some "sense" (or nonsense) from them, but no luck this time.
Or maybe i'm just a bad numerologist...  Cheesy

There is some speculation that this may include the government’s plans to purchase more Bitcoin. If so, that would be like igniting the flame on a rocket. It’s almost time…
Yeah but used the word digital assets, Bitcoin is part anyways:
Quote
(ii)  The Working Group shall evaluate the potential creation and maintenance of a national digital asset stockpile and propose criteria for establishing such a stockpile, potentially derived from cryptocurrencies lawfully seized by the Federal Government through its law enforcement efforts.
Sec. 4c ii
I have a little problem understanding fully the part I bold with the way it’s being used in the statement [/b]

Had similar  post here

Sounds like past and future lawfully seized Bitcoin will not be sold anymore, but added to the reserve.
I wonder how (l)awfully they will be seizing Bitcoin, if not inventing reasons to seize Bitcoin from political opponents.
Say, company XYZ will be accused of some crime, they are known Bitcoins holers and all their corn is being seized (awfully)...
Trump is always good for some nasty surprises.

Bitcoin versus gold ownership in the United States according to a new report from River
https://river.com/learn/files/river-america-report-2025.pdf?ref=blog.river.com
1 out of 6 or 1 out of 7 Americans have BTC
I don't believe it.
I guess it depends on the definition: I'd say owning Bitcoin means owning owning your keys. Considering there are only 53,218,057 funded Bitcoin addresses (based on yesterday's data), and considering many Bitcoin owners have more than one funded address, there are far less than 50 million Bitcoin owners worldwide.
On the other hand, if I use a broker to buy shares of a certain company, I can say I own shares of that company. So I guess (by now) it's okay to say you own Bitcoin when you "have" some on an exchange or ETF. By that definition, 1 in 6 or 7 sounds plausible.

IMO, if the paper Bitcoin are backed by real Bitcoin, either ETF or Echange, they count.
If you follow the "NYKNYC" principle, they don't count.

From the conclusions:
In terms of comparative demonstrated factorisation power, we rank a VIC-20 above an abacus, an abacus above a dog, and a dog above a quantum factorisation physics experiment. Finally, we provided standard evaluation criteria for future claimed quantum factorisations.


With a grain of salt:
The first real quantum computer built by humans would be created completely different than seen or thought before, basically by coincidence or by mistake.
Mark my words  Wink

yeah it will likely be an Issac Newton inventing calculus moment

if it is even possible for a human in a 3d reality to invent that new math needed.

and if it is invent it will appear to be magical or impossible

Our whole existence sometimes appears "magical".
Disregarding the fact that our realm is just one of 10^500 theoretically possible and focusing on Earth.

The more we look at it, it appears more and more special and not average.
Facts:
1. Earth maintained it's surface temperature in a narrow range over 4 billion years despite Sun's luminosity increasing 20-30% over this time frame.
2. There is no other known planet that has tectonic plate movements. Well, we could not study it yet anywhere else, but in our solar system it is the case.
3. Earth was formed by a rare (or very rare) collision of two bodies with a similar mass, causing evaporation of all initial water and ejection of a lot of material into space where it formed an unusually large and close-by satellite, causing tides (which were tremendous initially). Whatever water is on Earth right now was brought in by comets and asteroids, apparently. Therefore, it is entirely possible that almost all earth size and larger planets are covered with water-they could all be waterworlds. It is also entirely possible that tectonic plates movement was initiated by that initial collision. Some scientists suggest that evolution "needs' tectonic plate movements to produce variations in the climate, which possibly speeds up evolution.
4. Earth is on a roughly circular orbit around the galaxy, minimizing disturbances. Earth is also on a stable orbit around a relatively stable star.
5. Among more than 5000 studied star systems, they did not find a single planet that was within 10% of the Earth mass in a "goldilocks zone" around the G or K type star. Kepler 186F is 10% larger, but belongs to a red dwarf and, therefore, is tidally locked to that star making it less hospital to life (one side is likely burning while another is frozen) plus it receives just 1/3 or the energy in comparison to Earth. Planets larger than earth might be waterworlds or mini-Neptunes. Kepler 1649c is also a larger planet and also tidally linked to its red dwarf star. Trappist-1e-is probably our best "shot", despite it being tidally locked. Alas, no atmosphere there has been detected.
https://www.space.com/30172-six-most-earth-like-alien-planets.html

It's a 'survivor' bias, of course, but if civilizations were common, we would have been colonized long time ago and would probably never developed into our current state.
Either that or prior civilizations "evaporated" into other realms (of pure thought or virtual reality?) and don't bother with the current state of matters in the Universe.

In fact we assume more than we know. What we observe is the past universe, or parts of it, yet we gather more information than ever before, which is most likely still close to nothing on the scale of existence. Every day is a sweet secret.

The headline/teaser made me smirk and after reading I am way much less scared about those quantum thingies factoring meaningful numbers (like i.e. public keys) in foreseeable future:

..
Peter Gutmann, a professor of computer science at the University of Auckland New Zealand, thinks PQC is bollocks – "nonsense" for our American readers – and said as much in a 2024 presentation [PDF], "Why Quantum Cryptanalysis is Bollocks."
..

-> https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/17/quantum_cryptanalysis_criticism/
that headline definitely caught me too and the quote is gold. It's oddly reassuring to hear someone as credible as Gutmann cut through the hype with such bluntness. Quantum computing still feels like a buzzword minefield, so it’s nice to see a grounded take. Makes me wonder how much of the PQC rush is real urgency, just future proofing theater.



QC is about as developed as AI.
Both are higher class vapourware...

From $0 to $100,000 was the hardest part, futeremore from $100,000 to $1,000,000 BTC will be achieved faster that you think.

However, thanks Bitcoin, because i don't have to save so much of my worthless fiat to rot on my bank account, and i'm still able to invest in rather expensive hobbies  Cool

Well, expensive relative to worthless fiat? Or expensive relative to the entertainment value you derive from them? Wink I have expensive chores... relative to the joy I gain from them (almost negative!).

I have both. Expensive chores, but i am a maniac at keeping the cost as low as possible, and expensive hobbies, while "entertainment" is not quite the thing i gain from them (compared to a round of Players Unknown Battleground, for example), but they keep my interest high (on intervals, though), for various reasons (don't ask).

You're probably aware that there was a recent, what they call, "colossal eruption" on the Sun - I wonder if you have any footage of that? One picture from the article shows a "canyon of fire" as long as 250,000 miles - it looks unreal...



Addendum:
I was poking my nose into the books on sun photography over the weekend. What i got is a sun filter, which just blocks 99,99% of the sunlight, over the whole visible spectrum. It was good to learn that i'd better use an additional IR/UV block filter in front of the camera/eyepiece, to avoid infrared exposure of may eyes, as well as UV leaking through tiny punctures in the sunlight filter foil or its coating.
However, with this equipment and the use of another $300 narrowband filter (430nm, 0.5 to 2nm wide) i would be able to make quite decent pictures of the sun, if i'm lucky and there are some spots. A short video with a few hundred decent frames would give me a sharp picture after processing.

The picture above was created using a different method, which i'm definitely looking to try in the future: Heliospectrography.
It needs additional equipment, namely a spectroheliograph, which puts a piece of glass, coated to block light but with a tiny, tiny slit in it. The slit is projecting a slice of sunlight onto a prism, and depending on the angle of the prism, the camera mounted at the end of the spectroheliograph captures the thin line of light in a single wavelength. So you set up a telescope, but instead of tracking the sun, like you would do with the sunblocking filter to get a lot of stackable image frames, you would fix its position so that the sun is slowly passing the viewport. This way you get thousands of slim slices of wavelength filtered light, which would be assembled by software to deliver a photo like the one you posted.

The spectroheliograph is about $1k+, even less as a DIY device, but you'd need to 3D print so parts using temperature-resistant filament, or mill them from metal and blacken them.

My AuDHD brain has a new black hole to dive into, which tastes like a "bonus" to me.
Or it isn't because it will likely distract me from doing possibly more important tasks, again  Roll Eyes

Yeah, noticed that too. The links in the messages are revealing the malicious purpose of those Emails.
They got my Email from an earlier leak, when i was lucky that my Name/Address data was not included.
I then went on and requested the deletion of all my customer data at Ledger, took about two months, so i wasn't a victim of the subsequent leak, which was way bigger than the one i suffered from.

EDIT:
OT: I got a little fed up by the night sky situation of the last two years, with noticeably more clouds in the atmosphere, so i decided to get a sunlight-filter, which makes me able to take high quality pictures of our sun's surface. I think i can't resist to post some of them here in the near future.  Cool

Stunning image!
I didn't start sun photography already, but this picture seems to have been taken with a filter of superior quality, maybe a calcium filter (or better), while my amateur self will start out in the white-light realm of sun photography, which delivers monochromatic images. As far as i believe to know myself, i will probably advance to more sophisticated ways of capturing the sun's surface later on. It's a journey.

Just got this Fake trezor attack email
-snip-


Seems the Nigerian prince scammers leveled up their game. Especially their English. They probably started using AI




This can come from anywhere. Why tag a country? Why tagging Nigerian? Scams are everywhere, and the most sophisticated ones are from more advanced countries.

The "Nigerian Prince" is just the name of a legendary variant of Email scam where the scammer pretends to be the prince of Nigeria, which came into trouble and needs $10k urgently, while he promises to pay it back a multiple times, as soon as he is safely back in his palace again. (or something like that).

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.

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


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.
