Michael Saylor says Bitcoin winter isn’t coming back. Is this the supercycle? What we do know: Bitcoin’s daily supply is currently just 450 BTC, and it’s being snapped up by Bitcoin treasury companies, ETFs, and soon, possibly nation-states. ⬇️
Going down the Bitcoin rabbit hole is a journey—from dismissing it at first to realising it’s bigger than you. At some point, all that’s left to do is embrace it and become part of it. ⬇️
Globally, central banks and so-called experts insist that we need 2% inflation. But inflation is theft. So ask yourself—why 2%? When Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, was asked that very question, his answer was just as unconvincing as everyone else’s. ⬇️
If you want to accept Bitcoin in your business, BTCPay Server is the way to go. It lets you do it yourself, self-custodially, with no middlemen or fees. Be your own payment processor. Until now, running a Lightning node has been tricky, especially when it comes to managing liquidity. But with the latest update, Phoenixd is now supported—automatically managing your Lightning channels so you don’t have to! This is huge! ⬇️
In an interview with Jordan B. Peterson, Saylor described the COVID lockdowns as a “war on currency,” not just on health. While Main Street was shut down, Wall Street boomed. Markets rebounded shockingly fast, not from growth but from printed money. Watch the first part of the interview here.⬇️

Bitcoin’s next climb could face less selling once it sails past $130,000, according to comments from Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise. Once Bitcoin climbs into the $130k–150,000 zone, Horsley says, profit-taking will slow down. At that point, sellers would be weighing a 300% gain or more. Few will want to give back those kinds of returns. Horsley also notes a shift in how people can tap their gains without selling. The growth of on-chain borrowing and lending means holders can use Bitcoin as collateral.Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Could Trigger a US Debt Crisis and Bitcoin Boom.
President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill could add over $2.4 trillion to the US debt, accelerating a looming debt crisis and spiking inflation. Inflation and dollar devaluation remain the path of least resistance in the US economy, eroding the real value of cash and bonds. Bitcoin can offer a hedge, but only if held in self-custody, as custodial platforms may not survive a lengthy phase of financial repression.Bitcoin: "Thousands Of Companies" About To Cross The Rubicon.

Mike Novogratz says government spending is out of control and unstoppable. Bitcoin is now in full price discovery mode! ⬇️
One more clip from Michael Saylor. Jordan Peterson asks: If Bitcoin is ramping up because of its success, why won’t it suck the investment capital out of everything else? Saylor responds: “It is—and that’s why I’m here.” True! Peterson’s mind is blown as he starts to grapple with the consequences. ⬇️
In this clip from Swan Signal Live, the team unpacks the illusion of fiscal reform, explains why Bitcoin remains the only true off-ramp, and explores how political reality inevitably breaks even the most idealistic tech optimists. ⬇️
In the UK, stacking sats, simply buying and holding Bitcoin, is not a taxable event. But the moment you send, spend, sell, or trade it, it becomes taxable. According to this video, if you bought KYC Bitcoin, the upcoming CARF framework will enable the UK government to track your entire crypto history and automatically calculate the tax you owe. Interestingly, someone in the comments claiming to work for the government says no such systems exist yet, and that these warnings are mostly scare tactics to get people to self-declare their Bitcoin holdings. ⬇️
