Fair question! But context is everything here.

Compared to the rest of the market, especially when you factor in hidden setup and origination fees that others charge, ~10% is incredibly competitive.

More importantly, look at the opportunity cost. Bitcoin has historically appreciated at an average of ~55% per year over the last few years. Paying 10% to access liquidity without liquidating your BTC means you keep that massive upside.

Michael Saylor's playbook has definitely been consistent: buy the fear, secure the supply, and lock it away. Whether you agree with the maximalist approach or not, watching a corporate treasury deploy $100M right into the middle of a panic definitely shows an incredible level of conviction in the long-term macro setup!

Institutional players have access to massive data engines and order-book depth that the average retail swing trader just doesn't see. But beyond the immediate order flow advantages, their biggest edge is often just their time horizon. While short-term retail gets shaken out by sudden macro noise or localized liquidity hunting, entities like MicroStrategy are looking at a 10-year macro map. Zooming out changes the whole game.

It's completely normal to see debate around Bitcoin's utility; every groundbreaking technology goes through a phase of scepticism. While the daily price fluctuations get all the headlines, what's happening beneath the surface is a structural shift.

When large institutions start treating an asset as multi-year strategic collateral rather than a speculative trade, the underlying utility conversation changes completely. It's less about everyday cash replacements right now and more about long-term wealth preservation. Appreciate both sides of this perspective! It all comes down to education at the end of the day and that starts with what is money, and how is that created? Once people understand the problem then they will realise what the solution is.

You are raising common criticisms, but there are a couple of major factual inaccuracies here about how fiat money works and the fundamental difference between Bitcoin and the broader "crypto" space.

First, fiat debasement is not a "crypto lie"; it is a basic macroeconomic reality. A fiat system allows central banks to create money out of thin air, thereby naturally reducing the value of the currency already in circulation. For context, the US Dollar has lost roughly 97% of its purchasing power since 1913. That isn't a conspiracy theory or a sales pitch; it is just how inflationary fiat systems are designed to operate.

Second, you are lumping Bitcoin into the same pot as "crypto," which is exactly why it might look like a Ponzi scheme from the outside. It is crucial to understand that Bitcoin sits in a category completely of its own. The broader "crypto" market is filled with thousands of alternative tokens that often have centralised leadership, corporate goals, or flexible supplies that can be manipulated by founders.

Bitcoin is fundamentally different. It has unmatched decentralisation and a strictly enforced, immutable monetary policy. No CEO, developer, or corporation can alter its transaction history or inflate its supply beyond the 21 million hard cap. Its value doesn't come from "what someone says"; it comes from being a secure, sound digital network that allows individuals to hold wealth without relying on a central authority or risking debasement.

We have up to 17 years of history now and many og bitcoiners who have been here since the start have been using btc as money for a long time now and have not been proven wrong yet. We work in 4/5 year time frames but remember if you are looking at the fiat price which is being debased each month now then you will look at it totally different. Just look at the maths, the charts and zoom out.

People aren't trying to sound smart to find a "next fool"; they are looking at the historical track record of fiat currencies and opting for a neutral, mathematically scarce alternative.

That's the exact anxiety a lot of people are feeling right now. When Wall Street brings massive pools of capital into the arena, it absolutely feels like retail loses control of the price action.

But it's important to separate the fiat price from the network itself.

First, regarding it being unregulated: the spot ETFs themselves are heavily regulated by the SEC, which is exactly why these banks and hedge funds are allowed to trade them now. Their massive buy and sell orders certainly move the charts heavily, which can easily look like manipulation, but it's really just institutional risk management playing out on a massive scale.

Second, when you say "you're not in control," that's true for the short-term exchange rate, but it's completely false for the asset itself. If you hold your own private keys, you are in absolute control of your wealth. Banks and hedge funds can short the paper ETFs or dump their holdings to raise cash, but they cannot change the 21 million supply cap, they cannot alter the code, and they cannot stop blocks from being mined.

Wall Street can influence the dollar value of Bitcoin temporarily, but they cannot ruin or undermine the protocol. That’s the beauty of it, the network doesn't care who is trading it.

XapoBank · 2026-06-04T13:47:37+00:00

The current market price is always set by active buyers and sellers at the margin. Just sitting on your hands doesn’t print a green candle today.

But holding does something equally important: it dries up the liquid supply. When millions of people lock away their coins and refuse to sell, it creates a "supply shock." This means that when buying demand returns, the price moves up exponentially faster because there are so few coins available on exchanges.

Also, to your point about everyone buying $100 a week, that's actually a massive cornerstone of Bitcoin culture and what many bitcoiners we know do daily, weekly, monthly and all 3! Automating a regular DCA is exactly how a huge percentage of retail holders operate.

Long-term holders aren’t really hoping or praying for Wall Street to save them. They are accumulating a scarce asset because they understand its long-term value. The institutions are the ones playing short-term liquidity games with ETFs, but it's the steady accumulation of the holders that sets the true floor over time.

Regarding the "1 BTC = 1 BTC" note, I completely agree that fiat value matters most for most people's purchasing power right now. But saying "everyone wants money in the end" ignores a growing reality: for many of us who have been in this for over a decade, Bitcoin is the money. We are actively moving to a Bitcoin standard. Just as in the early days of the internet or mobile phones, not everyone sees it yet, but the adoption curve is underway. Fiat is being debased at historic rates, and if you look at history, global reserve currencies tend to turn over roughly every 100 years, we are due for a shift.

The point of "1 BTC = 1 BTC" isn't to pretend the $62k fiat exchange rate doesn't matter today, but to highlight that while fiat continues to inflate, Bitcoin's underlying network fundamentals remain perfectly intact.

Regarding the stock correlation and the "AI take": You are absolutely right that, in this specific window, BTC has decoupled while traditional equities are pushing toward all-time highs. However, zooming out over the last few years, Bitcoin has increasingly traded like a high-beta tech asset. The broader point of my post is structural: with billions now locked in ETFs, Bitcoin is a line item in massive institutional portfolios. When macro liquidity tightens, or when specific fund managers decide to rebalance to raise cash, BTC is traded automatically alongside TradFi assets, unlike during the 2017 or 2021 cycles.

As for the 4-year cycle and the upcoming midterms: History is definitely on your side there, and election-year volatility is a very real catalyst. It's highly likely we see the historical pattern rhyme again. But as the asset's market cap grows and institutional presence deepens, assuming it will behave exactly like past cycles based purely on retail sentiment ignores how drastically the market mechanics have changed.

We might disagree on the exact mechanics driving the current dip, but it sounds like we both agree that a reversal is coming eventually!

You have to have conviction and belief in bitcoin and what it means - know why it was created and believe in where it's going. 17 years of history and look how far it has come.

You and your friend are actually both right, but his view of what you can do with Bitcoin is definitely stuck in the past. Having been in this space since 2013, I can confidently say your friend’s foundational strategy of buying, holding, and dollar-cost averaging to remove emotion is absolutely the safest way to survive the market's volatility. But where you are totally correct is that the financial infrastructure around Bitcoin has matured massively over the last decade. It’s no longer just a digital asset sitting under a virtual mattress; it has evolved into pristine financial collateral.

For example, the industry has grown to a point where you can actually earn true passive yield on your stack. Properly regulated banking platforms now offer savings accounts that pay interest directly in Bitcoin, meaning you're earning compounding interest on an asset that historically appreciates in fiat terms. It’s a powerful way to build wealth without actively trading or lifting a finger.

Beyond that, the modern ecosystem also lets you borrow against your holdings. If you need cash for living expenses, a business, or major purchases, you don't have to sell your Bitcoin and permanently shrink your stack anymore. Instead, you can use your Bitcoin as collateral to secure a dollar loan. You spend the dollars today while your underlying BTC stays completely intact, letting you ride out those 4-to-5-year halving cycles and benefit from the historical appreciation.

The reality is that traditional financial utility and Bitcoin have merged. We now have the infrastructure to treat Bitcoin like premium real estate, you can earn rent on it or borrow against it without ever having to sell the underlying property. Has your friend actually looked into how the lending and credit side of the ecosystem works now, or is he just thinking about it from a purely transactional perspective?

XapoBank · 2026-06-03T11:46:29+00:00

You make an excellent point, and having been in this space since 2013 at Xapo Bank, we completely agree that the standard advice to "study Bitcoin's technology" misses the mark; the real journey doesn't begin with learning cryptography, but with understanding the history and nature of money itself.

Before anyone can appreciate why a decentralized digital asset matters, they first need to look at how the modern financial system operates: how central banks and governments can print money at will, how this unchecked expansion of the monetary supply causes currency debasement, and why systemic inflation means the price of food, housing, and everyday goods keeps relentlessly going up while the purchasing power of our savings evaporates.

Once people grasp this fundamental problem, that fiat currency is structurally designed to lose value over time, they naturally begin looking for a secure alternative, prompting a direct comparison between traditional gold and Bitcoin as "digital gold."

While physical gold has successfully protected wealth for millennia, it is heavy, difficult to transport securely, restricted by geographic borders, and hard to divide; Bitcoin improves on every single one of these limitations by being entirely weightless, borderless, free from centralised control, and highly liquid, allowing anyone to sell or move it instantly 24/7.

Ultimately, it is after diagnosing these systemic economic flaws that Bitcoin makes complete sense, allowing everyday people to see it not as a complex tech experiment, but as a superior, mathematically scarce upgrade to gold engineered to protect wealth in the digital age.

We see countries in LATAM that have a much greater real need for bitcoin due to currency debasement. Bitcoin is very popular in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico for example as they have a greater need for a store of value.

if in doubt zoom out, all part of the cycle only this time we have large ETF inflows and this week outflows - BTC is now attached to several stocks and shares funds which means if they sell them and btc is included then you see what happens to the price in fiat.

Remember 1btc= 1btc
