The 20 millionth #bitcoin has now been mined.

Take a second to process that. Over 95% of the total supply is already out in the wild. The final 1 million will take more than a century to trickle out, with the last satoshis expected to be mined around 2140.

Scarcity by design. ₿

While this is a massive milestone to celebrate, it also forces us to look at the long-term horizon. We'd love to hear your theories on a few things as we enter this final issuance phase:

The Fee Market Transition: As the block subsidy continues to ruthlessly halve, miners will eventually have to rely almost entirely on transaction fees. Will Layer 1 demand naturally drive fees high enough to secure the network, or will Layer 2 volume complicate miner profitability?

The Future of Hashrate: What happens to the global hashrate in 20–30 years when the block reward is purely fractional? Does mining eventually become a state-sponsored necessity for sovereign security rather than just a for-profit enterprise?

The Psychological Shift: Does crossing the "only 1M left" barrier actually accelerate institutional FOMO, or is this mathematical milestone completely priced in by the market?

The "True" Supply: We know millions of BTC are lost forever in early, inaccessible wallets. How do you factor the phantom supply into the terminal value of the remaining 1 million coins?

Are the current incentives perfectly engineered for the next century, or will the network have to adapt?

Belief returned to where it belongs.

For the second time, winning quotes have been stitched into the dugout headrests at Aston Villa FC - unveiled by Alan McInally to fans around the world, and carried into matchdays to come.

At Xapo Bank, we share that long-game mindset: built on belief, designed for the future.

Markets are testing our resolve. #Bitcoin is down ~50% from the October highs.

In times like these, "Not your keys, not your coins" is only half the story. The other half? "Not your bank, not your safety."

High-risk exchanges always buckle under volatility. If you aren't self-custodying, you need a regulated fortress. Xapo Bank has been navigating these cycles since 2013, bringing the security of a traditional bank to the digital frontier.

How to survive a bear market:

Avoid high-leverage "get rich quick" schemes.

Keep your assets in a regulated, segregated account (or a cold wallet if you trust yourself).

#Bitcoiners focus on accumulation, not just price action.

Play the long game. The bunker is open. 🛡️

The dial says 10. Extreme Fear. 🩸

The tourists are panic-selling, and the fiat timeline is pure chaos. But for us, a 10/100 isn't a warning sign, it's a signal.

Market sentiment is temporary. Absolute scarcity is forever. Let them trade their emotions while #Bitcoiners quietly absorb the supply and lay the groundwork for the 2028 halving.

Turn off the 1-minute charts. Stick to your #DCA. Guard your stack.

Stay humble and keep stacking. ⚡️

Zoom out. The S2F $500k epoch is mathematically on schedule. Stop thinking in fiat. #Bitcoin to 55k?

Look at the chart and take a step back from the daily candles. Every time there is a minor pullback, the crypto tourists and fiat traditionalists come out of the woodwork claiming "this cycle is different."

It’s not. It’s math.

Here is what #PlanB’s updated chart is telling you if you’re actually paying attention:

The #S2F Target is an AVERAGE: Notice that dotted line for the 2024-2028 halving period? It sits at ~$500k. That is the average for the epoch, not the cycle top.

The 200-Week MA is Unbreakable: Look at that solid black line. The 200-week moving average is up only. Realised cost price (the grey line) is trailing right behind it, building the hardest floor in the history of financial assets. (Around $55K)

RSI is Just Warming Up: The colour overlay shows we aren't even flashing cycle-top red yet. We have plenty of room to run.

This chart is exactly why true wealth eventually outgrows a hardware wallet in a desk drawer. At Xapo Bank, we treat Bitcoin like the tier-one global reserve asset it is. We secure our members' wealth with fully regulated, institutional-grade infrastructure and pay yield on their BTC, allowing them to sleep perfectly as the algorithm marches toward half a million.

Will Bitcoin go to 55k? What do you think?

Fiat is melting like an ice cube. The S2F model is the freezer.

Tick tock, next block. 🕰️🔥

Everyone talks about the loud voices in #Bitcoin. But nobody talks about the man who orange-pilled Silicon Valley before it was cool.

Wences Casares is the "#PatientZero" of institutional adoption. He convinced the tech giants. He built the vaults at Xapo. And then? He stepped back.

Real power doesn't need the limelight. The ones who know, know. 🫡
