"Bitcoin OGs, NOT MINERS, are the real BTC price setters."
This insight from @nprofile…uu46 suggests Bitcoin OGs have been dictating BTC price since 2024:
"Bitcoin price went up because of demand from ETFs and the Trump election, which triggered a supply cascade from OGs after hitting that psychological achievement of $100,000."
Rochard said that there's a clear supply and demand imbalance which was typically dictated by miners in the first 3 Bitcoin halvings.
"If we just go back to economics 101, we've always talked about the mining getting halved, right? So then the supply is getting halved. The reality is that if you look at the marketplace, the exchanges, the volumes, they far surpass the quantity of Bitcoin getting mined," Rochard said.

Brian Armstrong deserves an award for evangelising Bitcoin at WEF in Davos.
France’s central bank governor said he trusts central banks more than “private issuers of Bitcoin”
Armstrong hit back immediately: “Bitcoin is a decentralized protocol, there’s actually no issuer of it.”

So, does @nprofile…qkjh consider Bitcoin to be money 🤔
It’s a question I put to @nprofile…fcxa when we caught up earlier today.
According to the author of The Bitcoin Standard, which has orange pilled millions of people, Saylor sees Bitcoin as a unique, hard asset.
“One of the metaphors he uses is that it is like crude oil, in that it is a hard asset. And just like Standard Oil once refined crude oil into refined products like kerosene and gasoline, he sees Strategy’s role as.refining ‘crude Bitcoin’ into financial assets that people can use”.
This is a fascinating anecdote of Saylor’s Bitcoin thesis.
But Saifedean also reminds us that despite what Saylor might think about Bitcoin, it’s still money and will only become more valuable as long as the fiat money printer exists.

2025-12-08 10:56:14 GMT

Ever wondered how @nprofile…mcsr discovered Bitcoin?
His famous book, The Bitcoin Standard, has orange-pilled millions. I’ve always wanted to ask Saif about his history with and impact on Bitcoin.
We sat down for a wide ranging chat at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
This is the backstory behind his Bitcoin journey AND a TL;DR of his newest book - The Gold Standard.

So, why is Elon Musk finally talking about Bitcoin's intrinsic connection to physics and energy?
As @nprofile…rfs6 eloquently explains, Elon has firsthand experience trying to stop excess government spending with DOGE.
"He's run that experiment and he knows that it is not possible to rein in government spending when you have access to infinite money printing."
The answer?
"You have to have something that decouples money from the ability to infinitely print money. Because of his background in physics, he's clearly gone well, energy, that's not something you can print into existence. That's a fundamentally better way to create sound money. So gradually he's coming towards a conclusion that Bitcoin is it."
Batten believes Elon is inevitably edging towards the truth.
"Not because he's not incredibly smart, but just slowly because he hasn't had much of his cognitive bandwidth on this."
https://blossom.primal.net/f10f05a3d7cbd4f07336bc393cc010af6449652b6c9973e93c38a365b3f87899.mp4

“Zcash is a shitcoin.”
Another absolute banger from my interview with @nprofile…9uv9.
We had a long chat about privacy as a characteristic of money.
For Saif, money that holds or accrues value overtime is far more important than money that preserves privacy.
"This is the question. How much demand is there for money that does not get debased versus how much demand is there for money that allows you to maintain your privacy?"
I’ll be dropping the full interview soon!

So, does it matter that Bitcoin seems to be moving away from its cypherpunk roots with the arrival of Bitcoin ETFs and Treasury companies?
I asked @saifedean this very question at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
His answer might surprise you 👀👇
"If you have very strong feelings about how people should and shouldn't use Bitcoin, you're in for a rough time,” Ammous said.
"To be honest, a lot of people project too much onto Bitcoin. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of software and anybody can use it in any way they want. Initially, it's a small subset of people that use it and then they start projecting their values onto it. And then over time, they expect it to continue to abide by that.”
"If it's a successful technology, it's going to be used by everybody. It's going to be used by small businesses, large businesses, governments, individuals. It's money. Everybody uses money. There are 8.5 billion people on Earth, they all use money and they're all going to continue to use money. And Bitcoin is just the best money."
I’ll be dropping the full interview right here on Nostr. Please 🧡&🔂

Did you know that Trevor invented seed phrases that over 300 million wallets use today?
"The seed phrase, the wallet backup, the way you write down those 12, 20, 24 words, was actually invented by Trezor, the original founders. That is BIP39."
This was an absolute gem of an insight from Trezor CEO Matej Zak on our latest Chain Reaction show.

"Why would I spend my Bitcoin? It's your one chance to save generational wealth." ❌
You'll often hear that from Bitcoiners in the Western world.
But in 🇿🇦, we have a different relationship with money.
"When you do start spending Bitcoin, you buy more Bitcoin so you can spend it as well, then you end up saving more as well. So you actually end up in a better position," says Carl van Wyk from @nprofile…vr3g.
It's even more powerful in Bitcoin circular economies, as Hermann Vivier from @nprofile…2zjr explains.
"What we're trying to do is to get Bitcoin to flow within the local community. It's not about how many merchants you onboard. It's about what happens to the sats that you spend," Vivier explains.
"It's not about going out and onboarding shops. It's about onboarding one shop and then playing detective and finding out what they are doing with the sats that they are receiving."
"You want to try and circulate the sats in the local community. You don't want those sats to leave the local community as far as possible. And with the effect being that when people are spending sats in our local circular economy, the value stays within the community."
This was one of my favourite Bitcoin-focused #CHAINREACTION shows to date.

I’m to be heading to Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas next week.
I’ll be talking about the media’s role in covering the Bitcoin industry and the challenges therein.
It’s not easy to report accurately on Bitcoin news. The space has become incredibly complex.
But I also believe journalists that have been writing about Bitcoin for years are becoming more important than ever.
You need only look at FT’s recent documentary on Saylor and Strategy to understand that legacy media do not understand what Bitcoin is and how it works and also have a vested interest in defending the status quo of the legacy financial system.
Let’s change that narrative. Bitcoin is sound money. Let’s get people saving and spending sats and show that Bitcoin is useful beyond measure.

Probably an unpopular opinion - but we need to get Bitcoiners actively involved in the World Economic Forum 👇👇👇
My experience in Davos this year made it evidently clear that Bitcoin remains misunderstood and undervalued as hard money.
Naturally, it’s also the antithesis of how a globalist institution like the WEF wants the world to operate.
Getting the right people speaking inside the forum is crucial to changing the perception of Bitcoin and informing politicians and heads of industry to change their thinking.
I’d love to see @npub15dq…lm5m @npub1qg8…24kw @npub1exc…n72a @npub1gdu…6nak and others talking on an exclusively Bitcoin focused panel next year

If the United States adopts a Bitcoin strategic reserve, will other nations do the same?
I asked South African president Cyril Ramaphosa this very question during the World Economic Forum in Davos last week.
Unlike Trump, Ramaphosa has no plans to launch a memecoin.
Perhaps more importantly, he says that Bitcoin is becoming a subject that nation states can no longer ignore.
I’d personally love to see my home country 🇿🇦 adopt a Bitcoin standard. It would be a game changer for the value of the Rand and for SA’s treasury reserve.

2025-01-28 11:07:30 GMT

The US is on the verge of adopting a Bitcoin strategic reserve.
The ‘WHY’ really comes down to
Bitcoin’s duality as peer-to-peer electronic money and digital gold.
In my recent interview with@npub1qg8…24kw, he explains how Bitcoin allows people to save for the future while retaining its “ability to be a very low barrier to entry global electronic money.”
“The introduction of Bitcoin in some of those countries, like El Salvador as an example, actually allowed people to leapfrog from paper cash straight to peer-to-peer electronic money without going through the banking trusted intermediary phase,” Back explained in our interview at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
“I think one target for Bitcoin adoption is for it to compete with gold and get somewhere near gold parity as well as its growing usage as electronic money.”
My good friend @JoeNakamoto is probably the biggest proponent of this mentality. He advocates for people to spend sats - but he also understands the inherent value of BTC.
Definitely a topic that will become hotly debated as more people start acquiring Bitcoin as a long-term store of value.

If Bitcoiners and journalists don’t go to places like WEF and force the globalist elite to talk about Bitcoin, these people will continue to push false narratives and draconian ideas like CBDCs.
Bitcoin is digital gold AND electronic money.
If it wasn’t for my question, this group of people would not have even spoken about Bitcoin this year.
And they haven’t for years.
So yes - it is important to challenge the status quo and take Bitcoin where they don’t want to speak about it.

The World Economic Forum doesn’t talk about Bitcoin - so I made sure we did in 2025.
I took the chance to ask if the US will adopt a Bitcoin strategic reserve during the 'Crypto at a Crossroads' session inside this year's WEF conference.
Coinbase's Brian Armstrong remains confident we will see a Bitcoin reserve in America.
Interestingly, South Africa's Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago made it evident that many still don't understand the underlying value proposition of Bitcoin.
Armstrong provided an important response:
"Many things have been used as money over the years. I think it's clear at this point that, you know, Bitcoin is a better form of money than gold. It is provably scarce, just like gold, but it's more portable and divisible. So you can actually use it. It was the best performing asset of the last ten years. And so for a store of value, I think it's going to be important for governments to hold this over time. It may not it might start with being 1% of their reserves, but I think over time it'll come to be equal to or greater than gold reserves."
