Matt Hougan: Bitcoin sitting flat at $64K while everything around it burns is actually the most bullish signal possible. "Bear markets die in apathy and you know that they're dead when the market stops reacting to bad news." - The CLARITY Act odds fell from 40% to 14% -...

$9 Billion Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan tells Coindesk that more and more people are adding Bitcoin & crypto to their investment portfolio: "Governments get out of this is by inflating away the debt. In that case, Bitcoin is the fastest horse. So you want to own that." "I think to have 0% percent in Bitcoin at this point is a misallocation and puts you at risk in the future."

Michael Saylor: We Sold Bitcoin to Prove It Wouldn't Crash the Market Strategy founder Michael Saylor Michael Saylor said in an August 6 interview with The Diary Of A CEO that the market believed Strategy could not sell Bitcoin because doing so might cause BTC to crash, leaving the company trapped in a "doom loop" of repeatedly selling equity to pay dividends. To break that narrative, Strategy sold Bitcoin when BTC was trading at around $59,000 to $60,000, and the price instead moved higher. Saylor said the company's break-even point is about 3.2%, meaning that if Bitcoin appreciates by that amount, Strategy can sell part of its BTC to pay dividends without continuing to sell equity.

John Gillen: The guy who called Micron at $60 before anyone understood the AI memory bottleneck is now laser-focused on $BTC and $ETH. Jordy Visser (former head of macro at Morgan Stanley) rode Micron from under $100 to $1,200. Now he's saying "a year from now, Bitcoin is going to be the crowded trade. Ethereum is going to be the crowded trade." Retail is usually last to figure this out. And when they do, they're one of the strongest drivers of the bull run.

"It's manipulating the long term interest rate lower to punish savers" Matt Hougan on why Bitcoin is rallying "I know people are reluctant to call this yield curve control. Today the term I saw was soft yield curve control, whatever the technicalities" "That's why Bitcoin is rallying. As long as the government is doing that, you're going to have people rotating into hard assets" "The debasement trade is full on. People are going to buy gold, they're going to buy Bitcoin, that's what we've seen, and that will continue as long as they try this" "I think what Bessent is saying is he's going to keep doing it until the market listens"

Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University gives one of the best talks on Bitcoin: "If self sovereign adoption took us from zero dollars a coin to sixty nine thousand dollars a coin, all of those flows from BlackRock and the Trumps and Saylor and everything has has only taken us a few ten thousand dollars higher than at this moment." "Instead of looking to the government or Saylor or BlackRock or someone else as our saviors, if you want the price of Bitcoin to go up, you just need to use it as money yourself. You need to because if Bitcoiners aren't going to use Bitcoin as money, I'm not sure who is." "Ask to pay in Bitcoin, ask to be paid to be paid in Bitcoin, because this is how real Bitcoin adoption works. You should be HODLing your sats, trying to get rid of US dollars, whatever your fiat currency is, because this is the money of pedophile rings and forever wars. Don't hold US dollars. And that's the that's the fastest way we get to higher Bitcoin prices is we need to destroy US dollar network effects. And we need to increase Bitcoin network effects. And the way you do that is every Bitcoiner runs a node, gets paid in Bitcoin and tries to buy as much as possible using using Bitcoin."

Bitcoin Mechanic on the state's blind spot: "The state is looking at Bitcoin like: I don't know how to control this thing. People are moving money around without permission. Someone just sent a million dollars from this address to that address — I don't know who address A was, I don't know who address B was, I couldn't stop the transaction. They paid 30 cents in fees, and now it's moving again, through a coin join. And it's just looking around like: who do I target? Who do I throw in jail? And there's no one they can target. If you want to do anything else with money — spend 20 cents on a pack of gum — they want to know about it, throw you in jail over it, investigate you. They're control freaks who want to enslave the whole population. But with Bitcoin, they just don't know who to actually target." Softfork Mechanic #BIP-110 on The The Bitcoin Matrix Podcast ⚡️ #283.

ANTHONY POMPLIANO IS SUPER BULLISH ON BITCOIN DURING THIS BEAR MARKET: "I own more Bitcoin today than I did before the drawdown and we've got a public company that they own more Bitcoin than we did before the drawdown." "Anyone who holds Bitcoin and doesn't think that it's gonna hit a new all-time high at some point the next two or three years then maybe they don't really understand what they own." "I actually think it's very important that we don't know who Satoshi is... I prefer not to know because I think that one of the strengths of Bitcoin is the fact that it is not associated with any one person." "We are ALL Satoshi?"

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck on CNBC: “There’s something else going on within the Bitcoin community that non-crypto people need to know about. And that is: ultimately, VanEck has been around before Bitcoin. We will walk away from Bitcoin if we think the thesis is fundamentally broken. We don’t right now, but you always have to look at the underlying technology and the crypto. What the Bitcoin community has been asking itself is: Is there enough encryption in Bitcoin, because quantum computing is coming? And secondly: Is there enough privacy in Bitcoin? And so a lot of Bitcoin OGs or maxis have been looking at Zcash. Zcash is a token. It’s sort of related to Bitcoin with a lot more privacy. The kind of garbage that we got about Bitcoin four years ago was: ‘It’s used for all bad illicit behavior.’ But now everyone kind of realizes that when you move money around on the Bitcoin blockchain, you can see it. You can see it move from one wallet to another. And a lot of people are looking for more privacy.”

Matthew Kratter of Bitcoin University on being self sovereign with Bitcoin: "The Michael Saylor followers right now who think that they're somehow Bitcoiners when they own a preferred stock that sits in their brokerage account and can be censored at any time... There's operational risks with that and there's leverage risks. And the actual Bitcoin that secures the assets of the balance sheet of the company is sitting at various custodians." "Having things in centralized places, having Bitcoin IOUs or anything like this is a big mistake." "If you don't know how to move Bitcoin around, if you don't know how to send it on-chain... you're going to be dependent on larger services. And the risk is that those don't even have the Bitcoin that they say that they do."

Is Saylor selling Bitcoin low only to buy it back higher with STRC? "Clearly selling Bitcoin is not a problem, and the fact that he's not buying is seemingly not a problem for the market either. But the thing I'm wondering now, and this remains open ended, is now that he's selling Bitcoin to buy STRC, what happens when STRC inevitably gets back to a hundred bucks and the old machine of using STRC to buy Bitcoin kicks back into motion?" "Are they actually going to be selling STRC to buy Bitcoin back at a higher price? Are we selling the lows on Bitcoin after buying the highs, only to buy that Bitcoin back higher with the very same instrument he's buying back? I'd say Michael Saylor here is in a bit of a pickle" "Having this not be the main narrative for crypto at the moment is really good news. Michael Saylor spent years turning dollars into Bitcoin. Now he's discovered there's a reverse button, and I don't love it"

The OG investors already made their fortune on Bitcoin. Now they're diversifying, and that's the sell pressure hitting your screen right now. That's Matt Hougan, Bitwise CIO. The market's bleeding and he's calling it an opportunity. His math: store of value keeps growing like it has, Bitcoin takes a quarter of it, and you land at 1.3 million per coin. But that's not where he's putting money now. He's looking at a market trying to move 650 trillion in assets into a space worth 200 to 300 billion today. Get that right and 200 billion becomes 2 trillion. His top pick might surprise you 👇

Eric Trump: It Would Take a Catastrophe to Sell Bitcoin Trump's second son, Eric Trump Eric Trump , said in a May 12 interview with Bonnie Blockchain that he would not sell Bitcoin unless there were an extreme catastrophic event. In his view, Bitcoin is seeing mass adoption, and countries around the world are starting to follow the U.S. in embracing crypto. Eric said there are two races in Bitcoin: who can accumulate the most, and who can acquire the most assets at the lowest cost. He also praised his close friend of 25 years, Michael Saylor, as highly visionary in this regard.

I was holding a good amount of coins, I'm completely out of Bitcoin" "100% out of Bitcoin, I hold no Bitcoin right now, zero dollars of Bitcoin. And yeah, I can miss the move. This is so incredibly, beyond bearish, I cannot emphasize how bearish this is" "They have 32 years of dividend coverage, which means they're comfortable continuing to just sell Bitcoin. That's 55 billion at current prices" "Bitcoin is a volatile asset that they're paying dividends with to fund $STRC, and STRC is trading at $90 right now when it's supposed to be pegged to $100. This whole shenanigan is very bad for Bitcoin, because now you have overhang"

"If you're not on the Bitcoin train when it comes, you are going to miss one of the biggest moves that we're going to see in Bitcoin." "I think diminishing returns is going to be put to rest. And we are going to see a full-on panic into hard assets that supply cannot be expanded that easily, specifically real estate. And of course, Bitcoin with finite supply, you can't increase the supply at all. And the only way to get the existing supply back onto the market is a higher price." "That dynamic is going to create massive returns for those who are patient in Bitcoin."

The biggest damage from BIP-110 failing may have nothing to do with BIP-110. Puncher75 - BTC/FEDI Maxi said the important part out loud on the The Bitcoin Edge Podcast. The people who saw an attack coming and were willing to stand up when it was unpopular are now being treated like the problem. "Fork off" "Leave Bitcoin" "Bitcoin won" That is a hell of a way to treat people who have been fighting for Bitcoin for years and were willing to stand up again when they thought it mattered. Maybe you think they were wrong... But treating the people most willing to defend Bitcoin like they're no longer welcome here may be the most damaging legacy of this temporary soft fork failing.

Debunking the Flat Bitcoin Theory 🧵 In the early days of Bitcoin (2009-2014) there was a massive amount of experimentation and innovation on bitcoin The first NFTs and cryptoart started on Bitcoin The first memecoins started on Bitcoin The first stablecoins and real world assets started on Bitcoin The first dapps started on Bitcoin The first DEX started on Bitcoin The first on-chain governance started on Bitcoin The first crypto degens were playing Satoshi Dice on Bitcoin But then the OP_RETURN wars happened and people like Luke Dashjr vilified innovation and scared builders away resulting in a long period of stagnation (2015-2023) This period of stagnation gave birth to the Flat Bitcoin Theory which infected the minds of nearly everyone The Flat Bitcoin Theory is a belief held by "Flat Bitcoiners" who think that Bitcoin is a boring blockchain that is not capable of the innovative use cases that we see on alt L1s like Ethereum or Solana But thankfully in January 2023 Casey burst onto the scene with the ordinals protocol and one by one people have been waking up from this lie and realizing that Bitcoin is actually multidimensional and capable of everything you could possibly imagine and more Since then Bitcoin has experienced a renaissance of innovation with a new set of builders picking up where the set of OG builders left off Jeremy Lin | 🔄 DotSwap (On Nexus) from DOTSWAP•DOTSWAP - Official has defied all FUD and delivered a trustless liquidity pool style experience on Bitcoin L1 for Runes with zero MEV Stan from Sats Terminal has built an advanced order routing and aggregation engine for Runes trading on Bitcoin L1 Scott | Bound from radFi has revived the Runes trenches with a token launchpad on Bitcoin L1 that thousands of people use every day Robin from Liquidium | Bitcoin Loans built a Runes and Ordinals lending protocol that has processed hundreds of millions of dollars of volume which proves that DeFi can thrive on Bitcoin L1 domo and Binari from BRC 2.0 and Tagga from Alkanes have been relentlessly pursing a vision for general purpose smart contracts on Bitcoin L1 TO from Pizza Pets built a fully on-chain multiplayer game directly on Bitcoin L1 Ken Liao from built a Bitcoin wallet for interacting with Bitcoin L1 dapps that is so sleek that it puts Ethereum's flagship wallet MetaMask to shame danny huuep from OnChainMonkey® pioneered a new way to store an entire 10K PFP collection on Bitcoin for only $23 that is now widely adopted by hundreds of other Ordinals collections SergeSats has formed the Bitcoin Art Society to preserve Bitcoin's on-chain culture for future generation has dedicated months of his life to ensuring that once a year there is a place where bitcoin builders can gather to celebrate experimentation on bitcoin at Bitcoin Summit Massive decentralized communities like the $DOG Army and Bitcoin Puppets have rallied together to support all of these innovations and champion the Bitcoin ecosystem Do not ever let anyone tell you that Bitcoin is not capable of something or that you must only use Bitcoin in a certain way The Bitcoin network is more secure and robust longterm when it is winning at developer mindshare and blocks are filled with a diverse set of on-chain activity It is up to us, the Ordinals, Runes, and Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem to be stewards of this technology now so go build the most badass applications possible and never stop fighting for innovation on Bitcoin!
