I kindly disagree that Bitcoin has zero utility. It enables instant, global transactions without central authorities, aligning with Aristotle's principles of money as a medium of exchange, measure of value, and store of value. Unlike gold, cash, or USD, it doesn't need intermediaries. #Bitcoin

Why is crypto pumping hard right now? Easing US-China trade tensions and Trump’s decision not to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell have calmed markets. These factors, though seemingly unrelated, have restored confidence in crypto - a risky asset many retail investors watch closely.

The biggest story right now? Gold smashing through $3,300 an ounce! 🚀 This insane rally shows investors worldwide are panic buying into precious metals and seeking safety amid global uncertainty. 🌍🔥 Do you think gold will keep climbing or is a pullback coming? 📈💰 #Gold

PS - I still love Bitcoin! 💙 I also think many retail buyers may be frustrated it hasn’t surged like gold. But crypto’s not dead. Strong fundamentals and tech back many tokens. It’s just that fear and uncertainty are driving investors into gold right now. (Gold's current price doesn't lie.)

It's also possible that gold has a pullback. But - I think it has a potentially long-term upward trajectory as retail investors, banks, and nations from all over the world start buying more gold. (And honestly, I think they will.) What do you think? Am I "spot" on or way off base? 👀👇 #Gold

The entire crypto market is getting wrecked. Bitcoin's down by about 10% for the week - below $80,000 for first time in a while. But the biggest drop from the top 20 is Ethereum - down about 24% for the week. (Do you think this is DANGER or a mere buying opportunity?) #Bitcoin #Crypto

Bitcoin seems stuck in a slump. But, don't fret. The technology is still highly beneficial and real! Also - I think that many folks are SCARED about the economy. Big time. That's why lots are buying GOLD right now. (The price of gold has skyrocketed to over $3,000.) #Crypto #Bitcoin

One reason I love Bitcoin is because it FIGHTS inflation. Inflation is CRUSHING the working poor and middle class. 1. 35-40% house price bump over past 5 years. 2. 20-25% insurance bump in the last 5 years. 3. 25-30% grocery bump in the last 5 years. 4. All the while oligarchs report record profit.

These are the official numbers. I can argue that pricing has increased way beyond the figures above. (I could argue that grocery prices have DOUBLED in the last 5 years, where I live in Greater Boston, at least. This is indicative of crippling inflation, something that destroys your cash's value.)

I believe that Bitcoin is way more resilient to inflation compared to traditional currencies. That's the main reason I love Bitcoin and support many cryptocurrencies. It gives lowly peasants (like me) the chance to SAVE without the value getting eroded into thin air via predatory monetary policy.
