The very fact that the IMF is blackmailing people in this way is shameful and shows that the IMF is not acting for the people but for its interests.

"Spend and Replace your Bitcoin" includes the "Earn in Bitcoin" part.

Seek to get paid in Bitcoin as much as possible and then spend your Bitcoin at merchants supporting Bitcoin payments to strengthen the circular economy based on the Bitcoin system.

Your Meme is excellent.

What worries me the most at this point is to see that the majority simply do not want to become sovereign individuals preferring to remain slaves to the current monetary and financial system.

He never had any credibility for me. One more demagogic politician to add to an endless list. But I remember being attacked when I criticized him at the time. Time always ends up showing what politicians and bankers are.

There will also be inequalities, because no system is unfortunately perfect, but in another form, and above all, the system will be better than the current system from this point of view.

Provided of course that the Bitcoin revolution is not captured by BlackRock, Michael J. Saylor, and Co ...

They need to stop with these false clickbait headlines.

The word "Bitcoin" does not even appear once in the Executive Order.

We are far from Trump's promises during his campaign.

We suspected that these promises were only intended to attract the support of the community of pseudo-Bitcoiners in Nashville, and we just had proof of it.

The Working Group that he announced could well say that only Made In USA cryptocurrencies should be in this reserve. That would suit the bosses of Solana, USDC, and XRP.

Even worse, if the Working Group says that there can also be Bitcoin, it would give the impression that Bitcoin and Crypto are the same thing when they have nothing to do with it!

The only good thing is the ban on the creation of a digital dollar!

Bitcoin offers us the two most important riches in the world: time and freedom.

The most terrible thing is that the majority of Bitcoin market participants still don't understand the why of Bitcoin, and we have to wait for the Fed to release inflation figures for Bitcoin to rebound.

Bitcoin is here to free us from the playground of the Fed and the powerful in the current system.

Bitcoin isn't better because the Fed publishes these numbers. The value proposition is still the same.

It will take a lot of education before a majority of people finally understand that Bitcoin is there to offer us an alternative to the dollar system, not to be integrated into this flawed system as a simple SoV.

The potential of the Bitcoin revolution is far greater!

The problem with Russia adopting Bitcoin is that it is certain to be reserved for the Russian government to circumvent Western sanctions, and the people will be denied access to this unique liberating monetary revolution that is Bitcoin.

I had some fun creating the Bitcoin Price in Words Web page a few years ago.

At the time, the price of Bitcoin was well under $5K.

I didn't imagine that the price of Bitcoin would reach $100K so quickly.

And yet, when I look at this page today, I see we're almost there!

Take a look at this page. You'll have the pleasure of hearing the price of Bitcoin if you click on the area where the price is located.

A great moment to experience when the $100K mark is reached.

Throughout his presidential campaign, Donald Trump has repeatedly said that the war on cryptocurrency must come to an end. It's obvious that Donald Trump has only one dream when he arrives at the White House in January 2025: to say his famous phrase “You're fired” to SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

In practice, it won't be quite so easy to fire Gary Gensler, who is normally in office until 2026, but the pressure will be so great that it seems obvious that he will have to step down.

In his place, Donald Trump will be pushing for someone who will be progressive in the field. A real revolution for the cryptocurrency world.

Donald Trump's campaign promise is eagerly awaited in the cryptocurrency world. Donald Trump announced during his presidential campaign that the creator of Silk Road would be released on his first day in the White House.

Arrested in 2015 for operating his site on the dark web, Ross Ulbricht has been serving a life sentence for nearly ten years. His release would be an ultra-positive signal sent by Donald Trump concerning freedom in general.

In the home stretch of the presidential race, Donald Trump explained that Bitcoin should be considered a currency when used for everyday payments. It would therefore seem logical to him that Bitcoin should not be taxed in this context. Nothing is certain, but it is possible that Donald Trump will argue in favor of removing capital gains tax from Bitcoin transactions below a certain amount.

This could boost the use of Bitcoin as a MoE. An excellent thing!

Cynthia Lummis is already working on a bill to this effect to materialize the fact that America is re-entering the Bitcoin accumulation race during the 4 years of the Trump presidency with a planned purchase of 1 million BTC over that duration. This would be in addition to the 213K BTC already owned by America following various seizures in court cases.

This could launch a veritable race to accumulate BTC by governments around the world while freezing ever more BTC that could no longer be used by people in everyday life.

A good thing for America and its status, but not so good for the Bitcoin revolution and its liberating power.

Donald Trump explained throughout his presidential campaign that during his presidency he would oppose the creation of a digital dollar. Donald Trump has joined the camp of freedom, which overwhelmingly rejects Central Bank Digital Currencies as an instrument of mass surveillance.

We can be sure that Donald Trump will prevent the Fed from going ahead with such a project, even if the Fed is independent of the White House.

Nothing is certain here, but Donald Trump could well push for the creation of a “Bitcoin and Crypto” advisory council. In my opinion, it would be a good thing to set up such a council with people who have a thorough understanding of this industry, its limits, and its disruptive potential.

All too often, politicians who understand nothing about these technological issues make disastrous decisions without knowing the ins and outs. Other governments around the world would do well to take inspiration from such an initiative if Donald Trump were to follow it.

The right to self-custody is at the very heart of the Bitcoin revolution. The aim is to enable everyone to take power over the fruits of their labor without intermediaries. Donald Trump has already said he will support the right to self-custody. That's a great thing!

It remains to be seen how this will manifest itself in practice, but Donald Trump will certainly be eagerly awaited on this point by the entire Bitcoin world. Every citizen must be able to hold his or her own Bitcoin without having to go through an intermediary. Without this, the Bitcoin revolution loses all meaning.

The war against cryptocurrency being waged by a few anti-crypto Democratic Senators and SEC Chair Gary Gensler will quickly come to an end once Donald Trump takes office in the White House. This will be facilitated by the fact that Donald Trump will now be all-powerful with a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Again, this will be a good thing. It's better to seize the Bitcoin opportunity that presents itself, rather than fight unnecessarily and delay this disruptive industry, which will eventually take hold whether the naysayers like it or not.

Donald Trump's strategy remains the same: Make America Great Again.

Donald Trump wants to support the Bitcoin Mining industry, but only on condition that future Bitcoins are issued by American industry leaders. The Bitcoin mining industry in America will therefore be boosted by Donald Trump's arrival in the White House. It's even conceivable that America itself could end up following the example of Bhutan or other countries that mine Bitcoin directly with government resources.

If this were to happen, we can also imagine that game theory would kick in and China would completely change its anti-Bitcoin stance.

Along the same lines as the previous point, Donald Trump is ready to support any initiative that is likely to make America a world leader in any field. Above all, Donald Trump wants to fight to preserve America's hegemonic status over the world.

Since cryptocurrency looks set for a great future, then Donald Trump wants America to become the crypto capital of the world. This means that all American companies in the sector will be supported and that the war on crypto that has been holding back innovation in America will come to an end.

Are you looking for the best Bitcoin marketing video of all time?

This video by Jamie Dimon is probably a strong contender.

To denounce Bitcoin and why the government should try to ban it, Jamie Dimon promotes everything Bitcoin brings to the table: Bitcoin frees you from the yoke of governments that have oppressed you for decades.

Bitcoin is our way out!

By repeating that Bitcoin as an MoE is a distraction, Michael J. Saylor has contributed to the growing disinterest in the Lightning Network.

This is a shame because, with his audience, Michael J. Saylor could have encouraged the development of the Lightning Network, which is supposed to be the solution for everyday payments in Bitcoin.

Unfortunately, the numbers don't look good for the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

The number of nodes has been halved, as have the number of channels and the network's Bitcoin capacity. Across the board, all metrics have been halved.

Less and less capacity, and therefore fewer and fewer users.

What does this lack of interest in the Bitcoin Lightning Network mean to you?

Does it represent a victory for the camp of financial giants like BlackRock and Michael J. Saylor, who want to sell to the general public the idea that Bitcoin is first and foremost an SoV that needs to be integrated into the current system?

I look forward to hearing your opinion on the subject.

In 2024, Bitcoin set a new record with 53 million non-zero addresses!

However, we can't link this to an explosion in Bitcoin adoption, as the use of Bitcoin as an MoE is stagnating strongly.

The entry of financial giants into Bitcoin is a major reason for this.

Today, BlackRock controls over 2% of the current Bitcoin supply. Cumulatively, the financial giants are approaching control of almost 5% of the current Bitcoin supply.

Bitcoin is gradually being integrated as a simple SoV into the current system.

A real danger for the future of the Bitcoin revolution, as Bitcoin is not intended to be integrated into the current system, which is flawed and not fixable, but rather to grow as a superior alternative accessible to all.

DELETE COINBASE

I also think that America will do everything to prevent the fall of the king dollar. As such, I doubt that America will go in the direction that Trump wants to push by making Bitcoin a strategic reserve asset. This would mean weakening the dollar that America can manipulate in favor of hard money that America cannot manipulate. That would be surprising.

You're right, but what bothers me most is to see so many people adoring him in this way simply because he says the word Bitcoin when he doesn't give a damn.

The big question for me is: with what money?

If the goal is to buy Bitcoin by stealing from the people a little more by printing fiat money out of thin air, then no.

If the goal is to buy Bitcoin with a budget surplus, which has never happened in America for years and years, then why not...

Bitcoin is an alternative monetary system superior to the dollar system.

Bitcoin aims to replace the dollar system, not to be fully integrated and marginalized as a store of value inside this flawed system.

Bitcoin's appeal lies in the fact that it is based on a finite supply (21M), has a programmatic monetary policy that no one can arbitrarily influence, and is decentralized.

Decentralization is the key to Bitcoin's future success.

To hear RFJ Jr. or even Michael J. Saylor say that the U.S. government should own the majority of Bitcoin in circulation is utter heresy.

An idea that goes against the very interests of the Bitcoin revolution, which is supposed to liberate people from the yoke of governments and central bankers.

This is what is most interesting about the Bitcoin revolution. Above all, it is the countries where poverty is the highest that adopt it most quickly. This will be a real game-changer for these countries in the future. The example of El Salvador is instructive on this subject. Bitcoin is an opportunity to seize.
