Bitcoin Price Tracking & Discussion -- 2025

[raiders72001]

Raiders (and others):
*I think we present a pretty un-biased view on BTC in here. I wanted to address one trend.

It's the current hype factor. Or lack thereof:
*As bitcoin enthusiasts, we tend to have blinders on. We think that Bitcoin is the only logical solution.
...What about the others (who have not taken the leap yet)?
...Reasonable estimate of understanding Bitcoin is to do 20 to 40 hours of research. How many non-Bitcoiners have put in that time?
...Google search trends say that "Bitcoin" search is down by as much as 50% (from four years ago).
...Go back to the saying of "Follow the Money." The ETFs and BTC treasury companies are stock-piling. They're front-running before the supply dries up.
...That means that the demand is somewhat limited. The populous hasn't figured it out yet.
...If you're wondering why the price isn't going parabolic, I think this is a reason.
...Take-away = BTC is on sale. Won't last forever.

*Just my opinion. NFA: Not Financial Advice.

I like the last line, "BTC is on sale. Won't last forever"

Other coins are better as far as speed, although BTC is the safest since the code is the toughest to hack. These EFTs have changed the landscape and the US is very important for the BTC price. It wasn't always this way since Asia was more important in the beginning.

Whether you like Trump or not, he's been great for BTC. His motives were partly personal since he's made a fortune in crypto but the reason isn't important to us. The US economy is booming right now and that leaves money for investing.

My hope is that the OTC crypto dries up and some of these big purchases have to be done on public exchanges. The other hope is that the 4 year cycle is over although I'm not counting on that.

Raiders:
1) Saylor thinks the big draw-downs are done with. Risk-return has gone way to the right on the risk spectrum.
2) Take a look at this video. Talk about a bad idea: *UK is selling BTC to get cash.

...Amazing. Evidence that people still have their head in the sand.

How BlackRock conquered the world

James Corbett's deep dive into BlackRock. Corbett is an ace researcher. A little dry and nerdy at times, it answers with trusted information all you would ever want to know about the mysterious BlackRock. Runs about an hour if you have nothing better to do.

Gonna go out on a limb...and say that this is a big deal. People will notice how much MSTR earned in last qtr.

Fair Value acctg change. MSTR can now declare their real earnings. I'm expecting MSTR to rip on FRI.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

This price move looks like a total setup. MSTR earnings will surely hit the ticker tomorrow morning. I'm expecting a lot of price volatility in the next 48 hours.

This makes no sense. Germany and the US both dumped BTC 8 months ago or so.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

Something has to be going on. How can MSTR put out that earnings-rpt and get slammed? Funny business, I think.

Friends, are you worried that this GENIUS Act might not be all that it is cracked up to be? That banker issued stablecoins might not be the way to go? That it's just CBDC with a different name? Something to track and surveil your every expenditure? Well, then, come on down and watch Catherine Austin Fitts connect the dots for ya.

Catherine Austin Fitts on the government’s FINANCIAL ENSLAVEMENT plot via stablecoin CBDCs

Mike Adams and Todd Pitner interview Catherine Austin Fitts. Sounds like there may be 10-15 more years of kicking the can down the road. A little long at 1 hour 45 mins. but worth a watch if you have nothing better to do....

Interesting perspective she has.

Her reasoning on how stablecoins will be used to control world currency flows might not bother a lot of Americans the way it bothers her though.

Yes, that was an interesting point in the conversation . How the masses just don't care if an investment is used for good or evil. For example, a person who is philosophically anti-war might be investing in Raytheon or numerous other war manufacturers. Does-it-make-money is more important....

Do you know what she is referring to with the social credit score system stuff?

I only got to half way before got called away.

Eh, China uses a social credit score. Don't break the law, don't jaywalk, pay your bills on time, etc. and you will have a good score. Kind of like a report card on how good a slave, I mean, citizen you are.
