2 things we've NEVER seen in #Bitcoins 14 year life are happening🚨

What happened EXACTLY 2 yrs ago on June 5th, 2021, is responsible for both...

Let me explain why these 2 metrics prove the nation-state BTC race has begun with my 2ND thread on El Salvador for the day🧵🇸🇻

1/ Image
@nayibbukele announced El Salvador would become the 1st #Bitcoin country on June 5th 2021, EXACTLY 2 yrs ago

I believe this can help to explain these 2 UNPRECEDENTED occurrences we see today, that NO ONE has a good explanation for.

The 1st thing we've NEVER seen before is..

2/ Image
The #Bitcoin hash rate relentlessly making new ATHs in the middle of a bear market.🚀

While this is interesting, it's not nearly as interesting as...

3/
The 2nd thing we've NEVER seen before:

1 million #Bitcoin have left exchanges since 2020, creating a supply suffocation

Exchange balance:
📈Mar 2020: 3.1M
📉May 2023: 2.1M

For 12 years coins were sent to exchanges UNTIL March 2020, when we crossed the ''monetary chasm.''

4/ Image
Someone is plugging in A LOT of miners and
Someone is also withdrawing A LOT of coins from exchanges...

Before I make yet another outrageous claim, there's something else peculiar happening that relates to the matter at hand

We all know China banned #Bitcoin in 2021...

5/ Image
Why are they still the world's 2nd-largest #Bitcoin miner?🇨🇳

Why are all of China's neighboring countries also overtly, and secretly adopting, buying and mining #Bitcoin?🇭🇰🇧🇹🇮🇩

Is SE Asia responsible for explaining the hash and exchange balances?

6/
Possibly.... but they're not alone.

Many other countries from around the world are either mining, buying, or regulating #Bitcoin in a friendly fashion:

🇮🇷🇻🇪🇷🇺🇰🇿

Did Bukele begin the nation-state #Bitcoin ''hash race'' exactly 2 years ago on June 5th 2021...

7/ Image
I think so, and how poetic is it that El Salvador announced a #Bitcoin mining operation with volcanic energy TODAY?

We LITERALLY have Bitcoiner's orange-pilling nation states and people think other nations aren't watching? @maxkeiser @stacyherbert

8/ Image
If countries ARE in fact mining+stacking #BTC what happens if this trend continues and there are 0 BTC on exchanges in 2028?

Is this a sign BTC will be adopted in an exponential wave?

I feel like I've once again raised more Qs than I've answered...

I'll explore those Qs in more detail below, HOWEVER in the meantime...

In the 5,343 days that have passed since Bitcoin was launched in 2009, ≈40M have adopted Bitcoin.

That means 7,486 new people adopt Bitcoin everyday since 2009.🤯

🧵Let's explore what exponential growth & adoption will look like as we transition to a Bitcoin standard.👇

1/Image
The biggest contention critics will have with this data will come down to how we agree to measure adoption.

This is important to discuss because Bitcoin has different adoption curves.

MOE curve ≠ SOV curve

Furthermore, people disagree about how to even measure adoption.

2/ Image
Some like @Croesus_BTC will claim adoption is sub 0.01% if you measure those with more than $10,000 in Bitcoin.

Others like @BlockwareTeam claim adoption is around 0.5% based on on-chain data.

More bullish surveys looking at exchange users claim adoption = +580M, or 6%.

The Bitcoin ETF was just approved & many people believe Bitcoin can repeat what gold did between 2004 & 2012.

After the gold ETF was approved, it rallied by more than 600% in 8 years.📈

🧵Here are the 3 reasons why Bitcoin WILL NOT repeat what gold did in the 2010s.👇

1/ Image
The 1st reason has to do with time and technology.⏰

Think back to 2004 when the gold ETF was launched & ask yourself what network effects did gold have?

None, there was no interest in investing in sound money during this era as property & stocks were the hot investments.

2/Image
Gold is simply not an emergent technology that's being adopted by people all around the world.

Bitcoin is currently being adopted faster than the internet was being adopted in the 1990s.📈

The internet was mass-adopted in under 30 years, will Bitcoin do the same?🚀

📚Michael Saylor is copying the secret, 1924 playbook of Germany´s richest man.

🇩🇪Germany's richest man engaged in a speculative attack against the currency, just like Saylor is doing today...

🧵Let's expose this secret playbook & how you can use it to do the same...👇

1/ Image
So, who was Germany's richest man in 1924, Hugo Stinnes?

Most people in Germany lost everything in the 1920s, but not this modestly wealthy business owner, Hugo Stinnes.

He became Germany's richest man by ignoring Dave Ramsay & doing 1 thing to surf the wave of inflation...

2/ Image
He took out debt against his business to buy more businesses, real estate & gold.

When the currency lost all of its value, Hugo paid back his debt in the worthless Mark.

After paying back his debt he was left holding over 15% of ALL the companies in Germany by 1924.🤯

While everyone is focused on how the FASB accounting changes affect corporate #Bitcoin adoption, they missed something...

🚨What about the Bitcoin miners who hold over 1M coins?

🧵If you thought the MSTR playbook was big, wait until you see the #Bitcoin miners playbook.👇

1/ Image
Everybody is hyperfocused on Michael Saylor especially as he approaches the 210,000 Bitcoin milestone.

With the recent FASB changes, everybody is trying to predict who will be the next Michael Saylor...

🚨However, we all forgot about the miners who hold over 1.8M coins!

2/ Image
Nobody is prepared for what happens if the #Bitcoin miners begin to take advantage of the positive FASB changes.

If they replicate Saylor's MSTR strategy, this will only add to the supply suffocation.

Is this the perfect recipe for a ''Bitcoin Double Halving?''👇

Bitcoin has seen diminishing returns in each bull market after its halving events in:

🔥2012
🔥2016
🔥2020

🚨What if the 2024 halving is different?

🧵It's time I explain what the ''Bitcoin Double Halving'' is & why the Billionaires & ETF will break all of your models.👇

1/
Image
Before you call me crazy, many commonly held assumptions are breaking today:

🔥''Countries will never adopt Bitcoin.''
🔥''A libertarian president will never be elected.''
🔥''BTC will never crash below its prior ATH.'

''Diminishing returns'' is the next narrative to break.

2/ Image
What are diminishing returns?

Croesus has put together this table; showing the decrease in growth Bitcoin has returned every 4-year cycle bull market:

🔥2013: 100X
🔥2017: 30X
🔥2021: 8X

Many believe this trend is set to continue and Bitcoin will:

''Top at $150k in 2025''

🚨SBF used his $26B empire to suppress the price of Bitcoin attempting to keep it under $20k....

This wasn't the only attack on Bitcoin since 2020:

🛑2020- ESG attack
🛑2021- China 2021 ban
🛑2023- Op. Chokepoint 2.0

🧵The 1800s & 1900s tell us what comes next.👇

Every incumbent monopoly resists new, disruptive change.💥

🚗Automobile #
1910: 1 million 1% market share
1930: 27 million 99% share

🐎Horse #
1910: 25 million 56% share
1930: 20 million & 44% share

As automobiles replaced horses, some weren't happy about this...🚗

2/5 Image
Anti-automobile propaganda was spread by horse breeders who were losing business to the automobile industry.📢

Doesn't this sound familiar to the ESG propaganda waged at Bitcoin today in the 2020s?

Something similar also happened in the 1800s...👇
