By the way, today I listened to an interview with Elon Musk on YouTube. In it, he talked about the catastrophic state of the US national debt. Defense spending is a huge burden on the national budget. 🙋

After the active phase of the war with Iran, the US government needs to restore its lost military potential (in particular, by producing new missiles). Congressional elections are also approaching. Historically, this process is accompanied by increased budget spending.

Therefore, I wasn't at all surprised by the news that the US administration has begun printing money to buy back the national debt. It was inevitable... Yes, the US dollar will depreciate in the coming years, and the price of Bitcoin will rise accordingly. In my opinion, Michael Saylor may be partially slowing this process. He owns a large amount of Bitcoin and is willing to gradually sell them to pay off his fiat debts to investors and shareholders.

Bitcoin is deflationary money, and deflationary money should appreciate against fiat currencies.  Certain actions by institutional investors can certainly slow this process down, but I don't think they will be able to stop it completely or reverse it. 💁

I think this actually explains the pump we are experiencing now. Trump at first contributed a lot to the last pump and the dump like wise and I literally smell the same move about to pull off. If you look at your chart bitcoin literally buttoned and has remained bullish ever since hasn't even made a retracement.

Making their dollar worth less is it negative impact on them too it reduces their overall strength in both the stock market and the exchange market globally. To cancel that off I believe they are using strategic reserves since bitcoin is pumping.

After the war spending, the US administration do not have any chance than to print more money since there have the liberty of doing that as the easy way out. As usual, inflation will increase and the Bitcoin in our wallets will just become more valuable than they were. Even though I don't like to directly link Bitcoin price to printing of money by the US, it does have a connection just like we are seeing now. For us in Bitcoin, this should be a period of reassurance that Bitcoin is precious hence, we should hold.

"we" may not know when or how fast that happens but surely at this stage it is inevitable.

Bitcoins 21,000,000 supply narrative has been looking very attractive for many years.

I heard a statistic yesterday that since Trump came to power the first term the US national
debt has doubled, I didnt fact check that but hey it was bad before, its certainly worse now
and will get worse still.

The war on Iran and their effectiveness at counter striking the US targets have put a massive
hold in their defense capabilities and hence has meant more spending on replacements.

It all signals that everyone should be running away from the $ into BTC

Trumpolini's Bitcoin Reserve plan NEVER said anything about buying BTC. From day-1 it was all about holding seized cryptocurrency vs the previously mandated requirement to periodically auction off seized assets including crypto. That is exactly what they are doing.

That same plan is what most other countries are following. Let's face it: why buy it when a country already has millions in seized coins and no doubt will be getting more from law enforcement actions?

Not explicitly
Bitcoins rise is more like a normal reaction to fear of future inflation rate
And the devaluation of the dollar.
Also they gain nothing unless they sell their Bitcoin.
Well on the impact they understand that there need to be some level of balance and won't push it.


Not just this but the interest rate on debt covers one of their biggest expenses
Hence why Trump usually push for cut in interest rate.

Rather than saying money printing automatically translates to bitcoin going up, I think you have a stronger case with persistent monetary expansion can make bitcoin more appealing as a scare resource. While the 21million supply cap is obviously an important part of bitcoin, scarcity alone wouldn’t guarantee that the price will keep going up, sufficient demand is still necessary…. So will increasing money supply actually translate into increased demand for bitcoin?? It seems possible for more money to enter the economy without that money necessarily flowing into Bitcoin

The economic and political incentive is already a balance
They compare the cost to the potential benefits.
They prefer inflation to deflation since to them it's controllable
If I'm not mistaken Japan recently left or had a relief from deflation after some decades.


Well I said more like
I didn't really state it was a normal reaction.

so 1776 to 1971 gold standard and deb is about 400 billion over about 200 years. say 2 billion a year

10 trillion by 2008 so 9.6 trill/36= 266billion a year with no gold standard

20 trillion by 2017 so 10 trillion/9 = 1.11 trillion a year
30 trillion by 2022 so 10 trillion/5 = 2.0 trillion a year
40 trillion by 2026 so 10 trillion/4 = 2.5 trillion a year

we likely will pass 50 trillion in 3 years. or 3.33 trillion a year.

these are impossible numbers to work

so lets see what breaks down here.
