"Bitcoin OGs, NOT MINERS, are the real BTC price setters." This insight from @Pierre Rochard suggests Bitcoin OGs have been dictating BTC price since 2024: "Bitcoin price went up because of demand from ETFs and the Trump election, which triggered a supply cascade from OGs after hitting that psychological achievement of $100,000." Rochard said that there's a clear supply and demand imbalance which was typically dictated by miners in the first 3 Bitcoin halvings. "If we just go back to economics 101, we've always talked about the mining getting halved, right? So then the supply is getting halved. The reality is that if you look at the marketplace, the exchanges, the volumes, they far surpass the quantity of Bitcoin getting mined," Rochard said.

So, does @Michael Saylor consider Bitcoin to be money 🤔 It’s a question I put to @Saifedean Ammous when we caught up earlier today. According to the author of The Bitcoin Standard, which has orange pilled millions of people, Saylor sees Bitcoin as a unique, hard asset. “One of the metaphors he uses is that it is like crude oil, in that it is a hard asset. And just like Standard Oil once refined crude oil into refined products like kerosene and gasoline, he sees Strategy’s role as.refining ‘crude Bitcoin’ into financial assets that people can use”. This is a fascinating anecdote of Saylor’s Bitcoin thesis. But Saifedean also reminds us that despite what Saylor might think about Bitcoin, it’s still money and will only become more valuable as long as the fiat money printer exists.

Ever wondered how @Saifedean Ammous discovered Bitcoin? His famous book, The Bitcoin Standard, has orange-pilled millions. I’ve always wanted to ask Saif about his history with and impact on Bitcoin. We sat down for a wide ranging chat at Bitcoin Amsterdam. This is the backstory behind his Bitcoin journey AND a TL;DR of his newest book - The Gold Standard.
