You know most of the world doesn’t celebrate thanksgiving or participate in Black Friday right? You come from an extremely USA retail POV

A friend of the family told me a couple of years back that his son was into XRP as the USA was positioning itself to use it for currency/banking system. I just nodded and smiled.

Pi Network's native cryptocurrency (Pi coin) has not gone public (listed on major open exchanges) in the USA, Europe, or most of the world primarily because its mainnet is still in a closed phase, and it has not met the standard requirements for listing on regulated, major exchanges. Key reasons for the lack of public trading on major platforms like Binance or Coinbase include: Closed Mainnet: The Pi Network is currently operating on an "Enclosed Mainnet," meaning that Pi coins are confined to the network's internal ecosystem and cannot be freely traded on external exchanges. Official trading on external platforms is not sanctioned by the Pi Core Team. Lack of Transparency: The project's source code is not fully open source, which major exchanges often require to assess the network's safety and integrity. No Third-Party Security Audits: There is a lack of public evidence showing that the network has undergone a security audit by an independent third party (e.g., CertiK), a standard practice for ensuring a project's security and an exchange prerequisite. Regulatory Uncertainty: The project's model has been described by some as resembling a referral or multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme, which raises regulatory red flags, particularly with stringent regulatory bodies like those in the USA (SEC) and Europe (FCA). Exchanges are cautious about listing assets with unclear legal frameworks. Incomplete Listing Application: Some analysts speculate that the Pi Network has not yet submitted a formal and complete application to major exchanges for review and due diligence. Lack of External Liquidity/Market Data: Without open market trading, there is no real-world price history, volume, or liquidity data, which exchanges need to manage risk and ensure a stable market

I don't care the USA is drowning in unpayable debt which will be monetized there's no chance USD holds its value long term

Good question ,why don't you ask the creator of the Bitcoin?Now ,my opinion on it is this ..The same 2008 that big business couldn't fail and 700 billion was given to crooks ,the BTC rolled out as an answer,and the more people bought this lie of how it is totally separate from these bankers and scum suckers that have not only enslaved u ,taken monopoly privileges on your power water livelihood,your heat ,fuel ,and any amount of moving money will have a middle man,taxes ,strict knowledge and control over the movements and these are the same mf people that do the stock market ,the families associated with the 1933 gold heist of A Constitutional Republic Called USA,And so ,as they have bled the stock market dry and have the housing ,working on the body paying the same as everyone that drives a vehicle,and so what better way than to milk the public than to create something and tell everyone it was not created by those greedy controlling bastards,and let them buy it up,lose passwords spend on porn drugs and any other reason we can just take it,manipulate prices like gasoline any time we need few billion we can just say oh wind is blowing ,that gasoline needs a dollar increase since we might have a hurricane that may hit a refinery or rain near it at least ,so BTC it goes up when talk is tough on this and goes down when someone gets a blow job and such and so.Man,You ever seen a magic show?Smoke and Mirrors

Every month on average, inflation (2.5%) wipes $46.3bn from the total value of the USA's USD M2 - and USD M2 globally that value loss rises to a whopping $199.9bn. (M2 is a commonly used measure of most of the total money supply) It's good to have some perspective on these things. 😉

TheWay33

It's not crazy at all, that's literally the design of the system. It seems crazy because people cannot think outside the box of individual or personal finance, which the government is not.  You have a country that has the ability to tap the independent federal reserve to borrow USD. USD is the world's reserve currency. When you print dollars it places downward pressure on the currency, meaning every single country in the world holding, investing, transacting in it, needs more dollars to maintain economic growth.  Because the USA can tap USD, they're the first to be fed, and can strategize and shift monetary policy around before anyone else can even react.  The entire first world is tethered to the health of the dollar.  This is literally why the dollar was bebased from gold. Unlocking the dollar from a finite resource into an infinite resource achieves its freedom.  Any politician crying and screaming about the deficit, is not being sincere. The only goal for citizens should be to achieve matching wage increases to inflationary expenses. Which has not happened in a long time.

GettingFasterDude

Call the OTC desk at a few major exchanges and see how low they’ll go in fees. Start with River (USA only) and Strike.

PileOfBrokenWatches

Yeah it’s a lot of debt. If the USA magically got all the gold in the world put into their reserve, they would be able to pay off only 21 trillion of the debt.

skillsoverbetz

Relax we ain’t even started yet. Remember 2025 they laying out the ground work . 2026 official first year for crypto implemented. Dec 1 quantitive easing starts we ain’t seen nothing yet! Big boys central banks and exchanges wants in cheaaaaaaaaapppppppp! Soon countries will follow and build a reserve. USA will sell gold/silver to buy btc reserves. Patience is key

BlahBlahBlackCheap

One scenario: First thing is that the government cant pay the military, its other workers, and its social programs. We spend twice what the tax revenue brings in. So if printing stopped, half the government workforce would be laid off. We've see trumpy do something a little along these lines already. How do you like the result? The ripple effect sees less consumer spending. Tighter job market. Insecurity. Less spending on nonessentials. That means even more job losses as those businesses struggle, and reduce their workforce. Small business like diners, the local sign and print shop, and lawn and garden care, get a kick in the shorts as anyone but the very rich stop spending on anything except debt service and food. Pets get abandoned and thousands of families begin getting evicted as the job market shrinks further and they cant pay the rent. We are now in a full blown depression. Soup kitchens and Grapes of Wrath type stuff. Gold is 50,000 an ounce. Bitcoin, 1,000,000. People are hoarding dollars, still not spending, as deflation really kicks in. Those businesses still operating struggle to sell products at a cost which will cover expenses because the consumer just has no money. Or if they do, they ain't spending it on anything but the bare essentials. Thats a huge problem because most of businesses that employ a lot of people, basically deal in nonessentials, here in America. Anything but food, energy, and housing is a "nonessential" and all those industries come under extreme duress as their consumers completely disappear. This causes the credit markets, which have been teetering for a while now, to lock up like a big V8 engine running wide open with no oil. A couple large banks literally commit harikari. People cant get their money out because these banks dont have it on the balance sheet and certainly not in cash, and a larger run on other financial institutions takes place, which the government halts with armed guards. But that doesn't prevent banks overseas from failing, and the US economic disaster now becomes a worldwide contagion, spreading through vulnerable global economies. Forced to "mark to market", bank all over the world suffer massive losses because the dollar is basically worthless anywhere but in america, where, ironically, it continues to be hoarded by desperate Americans, half of whom are jobless. A barter economy forms because no job means no money but people still have to eat. At some point, Serious hyper inflation usually sets in during events like this as goods become so expensive as to be unobtainable. People who have dollars start trying to unload them to buy basically anything of value before it increases in price. Gold now trades at one trillion dollars per ounce on the black market but a trillion dollars only buys 30,000 euro. The old US coins, made from copper or zinc, decouple from the dollar, with a dime being worth 100000 dollars, but will still buy a loaf of bread made by the woman down the street. Silver coinage is locally in high demand for larger purchases. Such as a bag of coffee, for one silver dollar. The USA is essentially a 3rd world country now, with large areas of extreme poverty surrounding a few small ultra wealthy enclaves protected by the military. Various locales attempt to move away from the dollar by minting their own silver or copper coins. Such areas begin to slowly recover using their own resources to nurse their local economies back to some functioning condition. There are few if any foreign goods to be had in these areas since no one can afford them. Cottage industries start making shoes, clothing, household goods, and things like that. There are very few fat people and very few sick people, since theres not much food, and only basic health care. After this, I can see the country breaking up into smaller, easier to govern territories, and existing on their own for a long while.

I will remain long BTC and US equities for entire Trump term. We are not accustomed to trillions in new investments coming into the USA. Usually our politicians are encouraging the opposite, pumping our money into other countries because of cheap labor. Respectfully, there are no bubbles. Everything is priced accurately for any given moment, including AI. I agree that you also can choose not to believe but it also doesn't make it not true. Right now it seems you are selling and I am buying. Long term I think I'll continue to do very well.

As long as it is only American bitcoin investors there will loos everything. Then the rest of us outside USA is fine 👌🚀🤷

It's almost like the governments of the world have zero claim of ownership rights to cryptocurrency? Whoda thunk it lol. Imagine the USA telling China what it can and can't do with Yuan via regulatory policy. This is basically what you all are allowing to happen when you champion market regulation of crypto. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

LooseSpot4597

I sold all my holdings a few weeks ago ($1.3 mil worth, I am in my mid twenties in UK where it is far harder to get rich than USA as well). No regrets and sold based on the logic of halving cycle, general fear in overall market and the fact we'd just had a massive bull. I'm waiting for a year when I'm hoping to join the 21 club or higher based on pessimistic estimates with halvings. I don't see any convincing arguments why the halving cycle isn't going to be true this time and if I'm wrong and it shoots up a load more then that's not too bad as well since it means we'll have some more years of ridiculous gains. As always the people who will get fucked over are those who panic sell when it actually crashes and those who sold far too early. Even if you time it badly and just wait you will be ok, I have no doubt bitcoin will continue to succeed LONG TERM but the time to buy is when it's crashed, forgotten and everyone is saying it's dead not near the ATH after a massive bull run.

satoshi-station

That there one on amazon is chinese low quality junk. Probably easy to bend too, I have witnessed some "titanium" on amazon get bent with ease. Look at the customer pictures, they can't even have uniform sizes, but it says 100mm x 100mm. The TA2/GR2 they spec out is the chinese standard for grading. What Satoshi Station is selling, is a US product start to finish. Forged in the USA, rolled, and waterjet cut to blueprint specs which happen to be the same dimensions as a standard credit card, and 1mm thick. It's tolerances are +/- less than 1% and upon my precision measurement inspection, they are all dead nuts accurate. The US standard is ASTM B265. Furthermore, you have the option to pay in bitcoin at satoshistation. I sometimes wondered why very inexpensive deals, broke shortly after purchase, then a wise man once told me, you get what you pay for. 'MURICA!!!

I would suggest an immediate 10% allocation. Study bitcoin for 100 hours, then think about it again. If you still like it add up to 50% allocation while still contributing to traditional investments.

Lord_Alamar

I know the studies you are referring to. Finland/Denmark are actually at the top of the list. I've spent significant amounts of time and have a lot of exposure to all three countries. The general population of America is much more intensely happy (as a direct result of much greater personal wealth, let's face it). What drags the USA down that list is the lack of safety net. The poor are *much* better taken care of in other developed nations, which greatly impacts the happiness index.

It's going to be another rescission when AI stocks crash. Sam Altman thinks we are going to bail out tech companies in order to save the economy because everyone's 401k is like 25% AI stocks now. Cash will go up in the short term because everyone is losing their jobs and selling assets for cash. Then after the USA prints a ton of cash and gives it to Sam Altman, he will spend the cash and bitcoin will go back up.

GettingFasterDude

Long term capital gains tax of 0% after 1 year is great. In USA it's 0%, 15% or 20% (depending on income) even after 1 year (up to 37% prior to one year; whatever your tax rate is). Regarding borrowing, I'm open to the idea, but skeptical. I agree with Michael Saylor, that the extent to which you borrow against your bitcoin, is the extent to which you risk losing your bitcoin. A LTV of <30% is probably okay, but even so, the less the better. Personally, I don't want to have to borrow from anyone in retirement, if I don't have to. That's true freedom. But I'm not there yet. I have at least 10-15 years to go.

**Bitcoin** * Easier to store, no need to insure it. * Tight spreads * Volatility, if you want to trade it * No underlying asset. **Gold** * Expensive to store and insure * Wide spreads. * Tax free if a currency like UK Brittanias, or Sovereigns (this may not apply in the USA, etc) * Well it's Gold, it has uses in Jewellery and Electronics. **Both can be held in ETFs (which avoids storage/insurance and minimises spreads for gold).**

Legitimate_Cry_5194

Aim for 40% if you want to be sure to not miss the bear market train. 50% to go for much better profits with a slight risk of missing the train. 60% drop, you really risk of missing it. 70% is highly unlikely, but it can end up with such a retracement, but only if something very huge happens in the world, pandemic, USA defaulting, Nato-Russia or Nato-China war etc. I'm aiming for a 50% drop. From ETH deduct 10% from BTC's targets. 60%, 70%, 80%. I strongly advise you to not invest in ETH at all though, only in BTC.

> Your use of most implies majority. Would love to see what stats you used. I also used the word "and" which includes either gambling or drugs ... but even if we just included drugs alone stats reflect around 50% illegal drug use as marijuana was illegal up until recently in countries like the USA and still remains illegal in certain places of that country. These stats are also **under-represented** as they come from surveys where many people will not admit to illegal activity.

He needs to keep away from anything ECONOMIC & HEALTH, he will kill and rob 10's of million of Americans, which is ascension plan to turn the USA into a Dynastic Monarchy, with his dum dum kids, being in power forever.. he will steal as much of the treasury as he can to accomplish this. Its exactly the putin playbook.. to gut the middle class financially, then make them sick, and they will die off and leave the wealth to the monarch..OR he will have to do like his friends , start with mass arrests, and then mass murder. He has no idea how vulnerable crypto is ...I made and ICO, it took 8 guys 6 months to build it. WE canceled it do to jurisdiction. DONT BE FOOLED - 1) Etherum Netowork for example.. is crushed and cant process smart contracts without massive data pipes. IT took 2 weeks to submit, means that its way ove capacity and impossible to grow the ALT coin scene.. thus solana et al, which is another barrel of monkeys, with those 50k SOL requirements to be a node.. now those guys are billionaires, who can turn those networks off. 2) There are so many whales that can flip, you never know and thjere is nop logic behind the "CATASTROPHIC RUG PULL" which would be on the Network, put it this way, I think that if anyone put 100k bitcoin on the bid, it would crush the market at these prices. 3) now with many sovereign nations and investment funds.. they became too big to fail. If those entities back out, the marklets will implode. 4) Parasitic effect on USD, it will suck the M2 and most of the M1 out of our economy, there will be no way to control our money supply because we dont own the BCH network. LKet alone all the altcoin networks. Then theres thisw: I got honey potted and watched as they disabled my bio-metric security added, took my phone over with a VPN tunnel, and sen to thier binance account $35,000 +/- USDT. Nothing about crypto is goopd especially strategic decisions about our entire country. Mr. President.... C'mon.. go play golf and continue your hedonism, and leave us alone!

Only some third world countries respect USA, and that’s because they want money… The rest of the world is laughing, while some still try to maintain decent relations even if the whole administration feels like straight out of the Idiocracy movie. The situation just a couple of years ago was very different. They managed to destroy decades of trust in months, and that will take again years to build back.

5pairs

1. I can already use my pay to buy Bitcoin. 2. No, it gives me less control and the company the chance to pay me less. Yes to more innovative because they’re doing something somewhat new. 3. Less likely since someone would be doing it for me. 4. Positive because it’s basically a retirement fund that I can access immediately. Negative if I get paid so little that the withdrawal fee is too much. There’s also the problem of places not accepting Bitcoin as payment. 5. Yes if they’re staying at the company for a substantial amount of time, no if they’re already buying crypto. It could also scare off certain employees. 6. I can’t think of downsides besides the fact that I may be paid less. 7. Confusing and unnecessary. 8. 19, couch-surfing, USA. 9. No, I doubt they’d go through the trouble of lobbying for a tax write-off. If I can withdraw my Bitcoin thru them, not so much. If they get to time payments, no. It could work, I just haven’t seen it in practice so I don’t know if I should trust it. There’s ways for it to be beneficial for both employer and employee, but it’d have to be a larger company, even one with footholds in multiple industries, be able to convert Bitcoin to cash through them (when I want to), a cash option, and if they leverage my money for whatever, I’d want part of those profits for me to consider taking the option myself. Too much potential for me to not be paid properly.

ScatMonkeyPro

Because the USA and China both know Bitcoin is going to destroy their fiat currencies, and they are frantically building out new financial systems based on blockchain. Whoever wins this race will end up the dominant superpower. Whichever country owns and controls the most Bitcoin will have the best shot at this. This is also the reason both countries are frantically competing in AI and Quantum. These two technologies go hand in hand with blockchain technology.

Relevant-Rhubarb-849

1. It's not Germaine to speak in terms of anything but net present value. 2. That's not how money is issued in the USA atleast. For the most part every dollar issued by the Fed is backed by a treasury bond. So you can't erase money without erasing someone else's asset

GettingFasterDude

If in USA, River is great. Strike is excellent also and is worldwide. Avoid Coinbase and Kraken. They've gotten so big they're physically unable to offer any customer service when their AI account monitoring freezes your account or withdrawals arbitrarily. You'll wait week or months for your money or bitcoin, if you ever get it back. If you insist on a mega-huge exchange, Gemini is much better than Kraken or God forbid, the shtt-coin casino that is Coinbase. After buying on River or Strike, get your bitcoin to cold storage (hard wallet by Trezor, Coldcard, or other) after you've accumulated 0.01 bitcoin or more.

Show proof of reserves of STRATEGY and many will buy. The whole idea behind BTC was transparency in trust. The USA does not show reserves in Ft Knox because there is no gold there.

Always_working_hardd

Another case of never do business with friends or family, sorry to say. I gave my brother money to buy a house in his name, for me, 20 years ago. He still has the house and as far as he's concerned, we never had a deal. The only thing I can think of with respect to fees are the exchange (if it's sold on Uphold for example), there are fees. Guessing 1%? Maybe your FIL has his own 'schedule of fees' for the transaction. Bear in mind, if it's in FIL's account and he sells for a profit, in the USA that's going to trigger a tax event that FIL (ultimately hubby) is responsible for.

Worldwide stock markets are dropping sharply over record-breaking USA government shutdown and the havoc that is causing to the economy. Weirdly, also the Dollar Index (DXY) is going down. While Bitcoin, Gold and long-term Treasury Notes are rising. People are fleeing towards safety, to perceived sound money (we know that only Bitcoin really fits that title).

archowup

Yes there were problems. The USA in the late 19th century for example.

Large_Ad1151

Yes exactly. If USA goes to recession it will whole world follow. It's everything connected. Im from Europe and I don't understand why so many people here want USA collapse. It will often hit the poorest countries much harder.

Potential_Duty9709

I’m buying on the dip as usual . Most of the sell off is coming from more and more people being laid off and whom didn’t have the money to be investing in money because once a rainy day came they had not the money to afford a umbrella so now they have to sell their Bitcoin to get one . I’m still to my DCA Moto, once USA government reopens bulls all day

DA2710

Have taken loans from Arch: incredible customer service and support. Custody with a real bank in the USA. Rates… high 11.5 for bigger loans and higher for smaller. About as “safe” as it gets. A little slow as everything is ultimately blessed by a person before it goes through. Strike: very easy to use. Rates around 11.5 to 12 no complaints have a few with them Lava: just used the LOC. 5+2 rate. Incredibly easy to use and dollars available immediately. Custody… a bit opaque

LSeww

Oh so you think that in Evil USA they would collect something like 1-2k taxes in this case? And you felt the need to correct me on that? Piss off.

Proof-Elephant-4611

You obviously don't like being corrected and like to think you know it all. Nobody knows everything. Here's something to consider, Canada, USA and western Europe make up only at best 8% of the entire world's population, while China and India make up about 35%. You claim you didn't read what else I wrote about RWAs, adoption and incoming regulations which will allow more government and institutional investing. Trillions and trillions are coming. The current crypto market cap is equal in value to only ONE stock now and that stock isn't even the most valuable. Lol. TL;DR You should be more willing to learn about things you don't know, especially when posting on social media.

I hate Trump as much as you probably, but people who voluntarily enter these scams get no sympathy from me (the gamblers and the cultists). The real issue with these tokens is that they serve Trump and his crime family to get donations/campaign contributions/pay-for-play (in other words bribes) from all around the world, in clear breach of the Constitution regarding foreign influences. Trump runs the most corrupt administration that ever existed in the USA.

The UK? king George? We are the great USA, the worlds richest country that everyone must worship, including you red coats. We created all our political institutions from scratch and have the best government in the world under our Fuehrer Trump.

Right, my question too!! Its totally possible if Trumps sons start loosing big on their crypto ventures all of a sudden Trump will say "USA now will buy 1 million BTC It is a good deal!!" Lol.... then boom 💥 crypto euphoria but 2025 was a waste of a year for me 😆 all gains given back right now....

Maybe if USA did not talk shit about international entities on public television then you won't need all of this "security" that is talked about daily? State taxes can exist without PAYING the government servants a salary larger than the average american. and yes ... the original design it was your neighbor. It was called a militia. Now you have private thugs offering security with your back to a wall.

Printing money is another tax. You need to pay taxes and you need to pay more through inflation. There should not be inflation. Prices should come down like computer chips etc with technology. Inflation is a tax but people don't realize it. So it's used a lot more by government. But they need a lot more money so tax as well. Inflation is also regressive tax, so direct tax of earnings etc is highly flawed but a much more progressive taxation. There doesn't need to be inflation or taxation, it was only invented in USA in late 1800s but people today lose it if the government tries to cut it's spending

Lol so you literally know nothing about USA crypto regulations over the last 10 years? There are people literally in jail for writing code when the wrong guys were in charge, who have all been fired. I could give a fuck about Trump, the point is he was paid to clear the path for crypto and he actually did it. And yes he did help himself to a bunch of shitcoin profits and only an idiot would say that's a good thing. But srsly educate yourself man you really know jack shit about crypto regulations.

"Contact" doesn't mean "having owned" it. Either way, that stat of 10% (btw I've also seen up to 20% stated), is copium at best. The world-wide % doesn't really matter when the majority of the world is too poor to invest into something in the first place. And using crypto as payment doesn't affect it's value much, because it's just a means of transfer and gets cashed out again on the other side. The reason it's copium? If you're from the western world (USA, Europe etc...) that has disposable income to invest: go ask anyone about crypto, EVERYONE has at minimum heard about it. It's literally in the news headlines of major papers every day. I don't know a single person that doesn't know what crypto is (other than maybe 80 year olds). So 1) everyone knows about it. 2) Many have either owned it themselves, or have an immediate family member that has owned some. And if 2 isnt the case, then they've talked about it at their last christmas party with colleagues or whatever. And guess what, the absolute majority of these people have a negative opinion of crypto, due to the last decades of scams, rug pulls, losing money, the "gambling" nature of it, etc. So far, crypto has basically solved zero technological problems, has invented nothing that the world ACTUALLY needs, etc. And this is coming from me, who held a Top 5 Alt coin since 2017 because I believed in it so much, thought it would be a "revolutionary technology", etc. I held that coin all the way to a few weeks ago and lost 90% on it. I'm glad this time I actually sold my BTC/ETH that I bought during the bear market and was able to make good profit and recuperate my "hopium/copium" losses. What am I trying to say with all of this? There isnt going to be this magical moment where all of a sudden "90% of the world who've not owned crypto" start buying crypto and crypto 10x's because of it. The market is already huge (trillions), from here on out, there will be much slower growth, we won't see old cycle booms again (outside of individual meme coins that of course can moon).

The largest federal employer in the USA hasn't paid its employees in over a month. This week, was the first week of November. In the first week of the month, a lot of large bills are typically due. Rent, mortgage, bills, car notes, loans, etc. etc. When people who work for the largest employer didn't receive any paychecks for over a month, they started selling the things they owned in order to feed their children and pay their bills. So they started selling off Cryptos, stocks, etc. etc.

Well if you look at a coin.. let’s say it’s $3 per and makes 7% yield which is good so you put money into it .. then it drops to $2 The gains are erased Ask an AI which USDC staking is best for you in your country USDC should remain stable unless the USA collapses which is possible

If crypto is about scamming working-class people out of money, then yes, the USA is the crypto capital of the world.

If you want to make the USA the crypto capital of the world, print as many dollars as you can Donny. My bags need to PUMP.

It's kind of like hoarding 90% silver pre-1965 quarters and dimes back in 1965. A 90% silver dime now has the purchasing power of $3.42 and a 90% silver quarter now has the purchasing power of $8.57. Bitcoin will be similar 5, 10, 15, 20 or 50 years from now. It may not make you "rich" like most investors want, but it should definitely hold you purchasing power, and we all know the USA (and many other countries) are going to print away their debts.

Third_War

I have question ,if USA want to use crypto to devalue debt is it **good** or bad for crypto ? and explain how please 😅

imliqys

Yes, I totally agree with this opinion, every decision taken by GVT USA must have been in the scenario of selling when it is high and buying when it is down. selling now is not wise, just become a diamond hand. And this time the market has a lot of predictions based on analysis and it was all thwarted by the tweets of a president. Now just still waiting to confirm weekley chart

IMO that stat is a bit misleading/hopium/copium. In the richer countries (USA, Europe, etc...), pretty much everyone knows about Crypto. They have either dealt with crypto themselves, know someone directly in their family who has, or have negatively talked about it at the latest christmas party. I literally do not know anybody who hasn't had any exposure to crypto. I'm sure those people do exist, but it will be 1) really old people who won't get into it anymore anyways or 2) in poor countries that does not have significant wealth to put into crypto, thus not making any meaningful impact anytime soon. In the next decades? Maybe... but until then, a lot of other things can change as well.

USA right? 🤣

Until the price of Bitcoin retraces to 60k and all these countries who have been “talking” about Strategic Bitcoin Reserve funds actually start buying BTC and Russia ain’t gonna let USA or Russia have all the BTC and vice versa and you will see an explosion of main stream adoption with prices higher than you can image…. Aside from that, your probably right…

Reminds me of this video I watched earlier. Shouldn’t someone be positive if every country is in debt? If each country can print money, and we don’t know how much exactly, how can we know the value of anything? Whats to stop the USA from printing dollars to buy up mining power to control bitcoin or any coin? https://youtu.be/qOCJH7Rdyn4?si=P-_RXdltxpRGyrXD
