Great news on Tether for sure, 15%, just right. They offer up the tithes percentage, and the extra for offerings. Way to pay Homage :)

I usually take Ran with a grain of salt because he moves the goal post day to day- but he had an interesting show today talking why he’s more bullish on bitcoin than ever before. I’ve always held that belief but he’s really excited about ordinals and Brc 20, layer 2’s etc. where are some good ways to get in on that space? Stacks?

Is that you Do Kwon? 🫡

Reminds me of Luna

TeraWulf spent 8,500 to mine 1 BTC in Q1 down from 10,600 in Q4. 91% zero carbon energy. Do these numbers change your outlook on the asset at all?

will this be the final part of the supply shock? doesnt USDT have $88Bn? 15% of that is crazy.

I can't wait for 2024-2025. However I wish we have longer time for DCA in to BTC, Ether and SOL 🤑

This just screams future black swan..hope I’m wrong

Many are thinking this but I believe its different. They're only using 15% of their *excess* reserves to purchase BTC. Do Kwon was much more.

See twitter response below for those thinking this is the same as Do Kwon and Luna Foundation. Appears to be much different. https://twitter.com/paoloardoino/status/1658815341848297475

Unfortunately bitcoin is following same path as gold and silver with all out price suppression. Can't allow the people to think the system is broken

Saw this news yesterday. Maybe will be pump for June boost you predicted.

15% of the excess not 15% of total outstanding value of USDT. So it there is 88 Billion of USDT and Tether has 90 billion to allocate they’ll use 15% of the excess 2 billion to allocate to BTC.

ah right, I thought it was 15% of the total, that couldve been game over for a good chunk of the remaining supply.

I think this is much bigger news than many people have realised. Weirdly I actually had a dream that this would happen a couple of days earlier. 😳 I notice that a lot of channels have not totally understood what this means for Bitcoin. If you just take a calculator out and do some very basic maths, a lot of bitcoin is going to come off the exchanges by 2030. Tether plus microstrategy plus fidelity plus Blackrock.

I’ve heard this before. Anyone remember Do Kwan holding Bitcoin reserves for Luna? This time is different though…

Didn’t Terra try this with UST?

Anonymous

Yes, they did. Hard to mark to market on a 70 vol asset. What can go wrong?

terra wasnt back by usd it was backed by the value of the Luna token (i m really summarising)

https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/06/terras-founder-plans-to-back-its-stablecoin-with-a-basket-of-cryptocurrencies/ They shifted a percentage to BTC right before their collapse. There were rumors of hedge funds, as directed by authorities, shorting BTC directly after Terra used it to back a portion of UST to blow them up. No idea if the rumors are true, but it resulted in an excellent price to add to BTC position.
