Thus far, Vanguard has 'protected' its clients from 160% gains since the Bitcoin spot ETFs were announced last year.

That's ok. They made me buy MSTR. https://blossom.primal.net/c1a7bb69630a56ea6f98cb84ee311bc42d2d60aee97a237a080bfda467b6444e.png

Good morning.

As @jackmallers just said, “The future isn’t something we wait for, it’s something we build. Choose ethical money. Choose freedom.”

And have a great day.

The future we build depends on the foundation we choose. Fiat is built on theft and decay. Bitcoin is built on truth and time. Based on the logic of the Economist Manifesto: https://shorter.me/Oj7RI — read and share

Good evening.

The thing about volatility is it provides opportunity. The thing about opportunity is you have to seize it. And seizing it requires conviction. Start there and work your way backwards.

Have a great weekend.

Go ahead. Give the bank your money. See if they give it back. How many questions they ask. And how long it takes. Do it.

Dare you.

James, next time you speak with McGlone ask him why Chinese rates are moving higher even with the recent “deflationary” print. It’s the massive flow of funds that’s been driving rates here in China (in both directions). The macro folks have been totally off the mark in terms of what’s be...

I recently had a similar experience with Fidelity. It took me a week to transfer money to Fidelity and appease their gatekeepers at the International trading desk to allow me to spend MY MONEY on some 1723.HK Holdings shares.

even if you are using Bitcoin as your savings account, you are still having to deal with a bank if you ever have to sell some for USD to pay for something - Bank deposit from exchange. Then you face the same questions when you withdraw it. Is there a better way?
Boniz23⚡️🇮🇹₿ 🏴‍☠️ · 64w
Exactly. It’s not your money if you need permission to use it. A true test of ownership is control—Bitcoin proves that every day. No questions, no delays, no gatekeepers. Just pure financial sovereignty. Happy day for you james 😉🏴‍☠️🤝🧡

Last time my auntie tried to withdraw 20k it took her two days. On the second day, she had to call the police; the bank's final request was her ID was fake. You can't make this stuff up.

Good afternoon.

Markets got hammered on worries about the economy, North Korea stole $1.4B of ETH from a massive exchange, and Bitcoin is *still* trading at $95K.

Have a great weekend.
