The only thing that lost was your expectations of what bitcoin should be doing on your timeframe. Bitcoin and AI are not related in any way other than both existing on the internet. There isn't any reason why bitcoin should go up because AI is. I also don't understand the general belief that bitcoin lost because the price hasn't performed as well as other assets. The first thing to point out is bitcoin ran before anything else in 2024-2025 and only hit the bear market on October 10th. That killed a lot of people's conviction and was a sort of black swan event. Funnily enough, most of the major banks getting into bitcoin announced it THAT SAME WEEK. The entire thing was obviously coordinated to crash the price and shake retail out of their coins, and it's working. Just look at this thread, long term holders thinking about selling. Mission accomplished. Bitcoin has had more adoption since the ETFs than anyone expected. The price action has been underwhelming, but the reason is purely because long-term holders saw $100k as the milestone to finally capitulate. There were A LOT of coins sold over the past year from long-term holders and short term retail. Insitutions have been accumulating significantly throughout though. Then you also have nearly every major financial institution building bitcoin products or already released products. Finally, the US govt favorability towards bitcoin and the bitcoin reserve/ARMA, the military stating bitcoin is an important national security tool for power projection, and new structured income products popping up and will only continue to grow. By all accounts other than the price action, bitcoin consistently been winning. Bitcoin has been traded like a tech stock erroneously. It is not a tech stock, it's a long term debasement hedge. Not a short-term hedge, a long term one. This could take years, maybe decades. If you got into bitcoin with hopes of getting rich, but you can't tolerate the underperformance compared to other assets where you could have made money, then maybe you shouldn't be holding bitcoin. I feel it to, it sucks to see assets do what bitcoin used to do, but the present is the conclusion. Bitcoin can 5-10x again. As long as bitcoin's protocol is still intact and secure, it will still be around and people will continue to notice its resilience.
dont look up the ARMA bill, your emu brain is gonna be fried
**Summary:** The White House is preparing a formal announcement regarding the **U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR)**, with Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, stating that the administration has cleared a major legal hurdle. Announced via executive order by President Trump on March 6, 2025, the reserve currently holds approximately **328,372 BTC** (about 1.6% of global supply), acquired through law enforcement seizures and criminal forfeitures. The order prohibits the Treasury from selling these assets. Key points include: * **Security Urgency:** The push for a formal reserve structure was accelerated by recent thefts, including a **$46 million** cryptocurrency theft from the U.S. Marshals Service in late 2025. * **Legislative Push:** To make the reserve permanent beyond the current administration, Congress is considering the **American Reserves Modernization Act (ARMA)**. This bill would authorize the Treasury to purchase up to 200,000 BTC annually for five years, with a 20-year lock-up period. * **Timeline:** If ARMA passes, the U.S. could begin its first open-market Bitcoin purchases in **Q4 2026**, becoming the first nation to actively accumulate Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
yat siu makes a solid point on alts outgrowing btc collectively, animoca's got skin in the game with all those investments like solana and opensSea. been following their web3 push for a while, makes sense as an index play for the space since picking single winners is tough. reminds me why diversification beats all-ins even in crypto cycles. still, gotta watch the risks with alts volatility. ive been eyeing projects building real infra like $ARMA, metaverse with onchain identity and asset portability tying into that bigger alt ecosystem yat talks about. feels like the kind of modular layer that could scale in a multi-chain future. not shilling just aligns with the thesis
A homie I played ARMA 3 with shilled me ETH at 38$
