It’s a | | protocol for unbiased value transfer, free from central manipulation. In a world of fiat noise, Bitcoin is the | | signal. Choose your foundation wisely.' - Jeff Booth | | | | 🧡Bitcoin news🧡 | | | | Photos hosted by Azzamo ( https://azzamo.net/) | | | | On the 31st of March: | | | | ➡️The median home price has tripled since 1980, after adjusting for Inflation. Wages over the same period are up 18%. | | That one gap explains more about the economy than any jobs report or GDP number ever will. Housing didn't become | | unaffordable because people got lazier. It became unaffordable because asset prices outpaced wages by a factor that | | compounds every single year. In 1980, the median home cost 3.9 times the median household income. Today it costs 5 | | times. A 20% down payment went from $12,740 to over $83,000. The paycheck that's supposed to cover it barely kept | | pace in real terms over 44 years. This is what currency debasement looks like up close. The dollar has lost over 70% | | of its purchasing power since 1980. That doesn't show up on a grocery receipt all at once. It shows up over decades | | in the growing distance between what people earn and what things cost. The generation that bought homes at 3.9x | | income is telling the generation facing 5x income to work harder. The math doesn't back that up. - TFTC | | Got Bitcoin? | | | | https://cdn.azzamo.media/698daa85f3331f2ba1acf22ee47cf0277ede4ad8bb7f9ae65dca5820cabc5d19 | | | | ➡️Here we go again. | | Dutch Inflation rose to 2.7% in March, according to a flash estimate by Statistics Netherlands. One notable detail: | | energy prices jumped by 6% — yet this received little attention in the headline narrative. | | Based on recent trends, the risk of further increases remains real. | | → Average savings rate in the Netherlands: below 1.30%, according to De Nederlandsche Bank | | → Inflation: 2.7% and potentially rising | | → The result: your purchasing power is eroding faster than you think | | In a world of ultra-low savings rates and rising Inflation, saving is no longer rewarded. | | And bonds — even for pensions — aren’t much better. - Jeroen Blokland | | | | ➡️Google estimates that breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography could require fewer than 500K physical qubits and only | | 1.2K–1.45K high-quality logical qubits, far below previous estimates in the millions. Taproot may increase the | | number of vulnerable wallets, as it exposes pub keys.' - Bitcoin News | | | | Now hold your horses: | | | | TFTC with a great explanation on the matter. | | | | "A quantum computer just "broke" Bitcoin. Except it didn't. Not even close. Google Quantum AI published a paper | | showing that they've reduced the theoretical ECDSA attack to 1,200 logical qubits. They didn't publish the circuits. | | They didn't run the attack. They published a zero-knowledge proof that their math works, then cited national | | security. | | | | Here's where we actually are. | | Entangled logical qubits achieved so far: 96 Coherence time: 1-2 seconds | | Time the attack requires: days Physical qubits needed: 500,000 | | Largest quantum computer today: 1,200 noisy, non-error-corrected qubits | | | | That's a 100,000x coherence gap. It's not a software problem. It's a fundamental engineering problem that nobody has | | solved. | | But here's what most people miss. | | Bitcoin developers aren't waiting for a crisis. | | They're already shipping. SHRIMPS: post-quantum signatures 3x smaller than NIST standards, built for Bitcoin's block | | space constraints. | | | | BIP-360: a quantum-resistant output type already live on testnet, with BTQ Technologies running transactions through | | it. | | The full upgrade could take 7 years. That's why the work started now. | | The protocol will be ready before the computers are." | | | | Satoshi Nakamoto in 2010 on quantum computers: "If it happens gradually, we can still transition to something | | stronger." | | | | ➡️A co-author on Google's quantum paper calls himself a "Bitcoin security researcher." He actually works for the | | Ethereum Foundation. Then, at the end of his own thread about breaking Bitcoin's cryptography, he casually drops | | that "Bitcoin PoW is cooked." Totally unbiased research. | | | | ➡️'You can't make this up. Germany is debasing its silver coins by 46% because they're getting too expensive. Germany | | is reducing the silver content of its 35- and 50-euro collector coins, citing volatile precious metal prices and | | efforts to curb speculation, the finance ministry said. The 35-euro coin will contain 46% less silver, weigh 17g | | (down from 18g), and have more copper added. Officials say the move is aimed at preventing coins from tracking metal | | prices or becoming too costly to issue.' - Bitcoin News | | | | These are collector coins, not everyday circulating euros. But the principle is the same one that's played out | | across monetary history. When the intrinsic value of the metal inside a coin rises above what the state wants to | | pay, the state dilutes the metal. Rome ran this playbook for over 200 years. Nero started cutting the silver content | | of the denarius around 60 AD, from near-pure down to 90%, then 50%, eventually near zero by the third century. The | | context was different. The pattern isn't. Silver is surging because of real demand: industrial use, safe-haven | | buying, and a global flight to hard assets amid war and Inflation. Germany's response isn't to acknowledge that | | reality. It's to make coins cheaper to produce while keeping the face value the same.

The argument is straightforward. Taiwan holds | | $577 billion in foreign reserves, almost entirely in US Treasuries and dollar-denominated assets. If China blocks or | | invades, those reserves become inaccessible. SWIFT transfers get frozen. Gold sitting in foreign vaults can't be | | repatriated. Traditional reserves fail precisely when they're needed most. Bitcoin doesn't have this problem. It can | | be held in self-custody, transmitted via satellite, transferred across borders without permission from any bank or | | government, and converted to value anywhere there's an internet connection, or even without one through mesh | | networks and radio. The paper draws on real precedents. Ukraine's central bank received $100 million in bitcoin | | donations within days of Russia's invasion, faster than through any traditional aid channel. The National Bank of | | Ukraine processed $35 million in bitcoin conversions during the first months of the war. Meanwhile, Russia | | demonstrated the flip side: when SWIFT was weaponized against it, countries with no alternative settlement | | infrastructure had no options. Taiwan's situation is arguably more extreme. The island imports 98% of its energy and | | the majority of its food. A blockade wouldn't just freeze financial assets; it would threaten physical survival. The | | authors argue that even a modest bitcoin allocation, 5% of reserves (~$29 billion), would give Taiwan a | | censorship-resistant financial lifeline that no blockade can sever. The paper also notes that Taiwan's semiconductor | | dominance gives it massive leverage; TSMC produces over 90% of the world's most advanced chips. But that leverage is | | meaningless if the country can't access its own money during a crisis. This isn't hypothetical anymore. The Strait | | of Hormuz is currently under selective Iranian control. SWIFT has been weaponized against Russia. Traditional | | reserves have proven vulnerable to the very scenarios bitcoin was designed to address. Taiwan may be the clearest | | case study yet for why nation-states need a sovereign asset that doesn't depend on anyone else's permission to use.' | | | | Source: | | https://www.btcpolicy.org/articles/geopolitical-economic-and-trade-benefits-of-establishing-a-bitcoin-reserve-for-ta | | iwan | | | | ➡️Manufacturing PMI came in at 52.7%.

You get | | BTC exposure + a yield check. However, you cap your upside in a rip. In a flat or slow-grind market, you collect | | income. In a vertical move, you leave gains on the table. It's a covered call strategy, which is common in equity | | ETFs, now being applied to Bitcoin by the world's largest asset manager. IBIT already holds $70B in BTC, and $BITA | | is their next layer.

Repayment comes from the borrower or, if needed, liquidation of Bitcoin | | collateral held in segregated cold storage by BitGo. | | The borrower must post BTC worth 160% of the bond value, with a mandatory liquidation trigger at 140% loan-to-value | | to protect investors. | | | | One tranche may also offer upside exposure if Bitcoin appreciates. Moody’s assigned a provisional Ba2 rating, citing | | volatility risk but acknowledging strong collateral safeguards. | | If finalized, the deal would mark a major step in integrating Bitcoin into regulated municipal finance, positioning | | it as usable collateral inside traditional capital markets while attracting Bitcoin businesses to the state.' - | | Bitcoin News | | | | ➡️The Journal of Risk and Financial Management just published a Bitcoin price model. $1M by early 2027. $5M by 2031. | | Peer reviewed.

Printing money is easy and fixes things short-term. So governments always do it. Left or Right. | | 2. The printed money grows faster than the economy, so it ends up in hard assets. | | 3. Until Bitcoin, that meant houses, stocks, and gold. But these are not easily movable. You can't zip some Apple | | shares to your cousin in Mexico. Or your condo in NYC. Or your 3 gold bars. | | 4.

They manage about $9.3 trillion in client assets. | | | | ➡️Lyn Alden explains to CNBC why this market is unlike anything we've been used to between 1980 and 2020. We have | | fiscal dominance, endless dominance, and real performance is lagging. Most market participants aren't ready for the | | new paradigm. | | Video: https://x.com/BitcoinNewsCom/status/2039723035314257930 | | | | Lyn Alden argues that we are moving into a very different macro environment than the one during the 1980–2020 | | period. In her view, that earlier era was defined by central banks leading the cycle through interest rate policy, | | falling Inflation, globalization, and steadily declining debt costs. | | She suggests that this framework is breaking down and being replaced by something more fiscally driven. The key idea | | is “fiscal dominance”: government spending and deficits increasingly shape economic conditions, while central banks | | have less effective control over Inflation and growth dynamics than before. | | In this environment, liquidity support tends to reappear more quickly when markets weaken, reinforcing what she | | describes as an “endless liquidity” backdrop. This doesn’t mean unlimited money printing, but rather a recurring | | pattern of intervention to stabilize debt-heavy systems. | | A related consequence is that asset prices can remain supported, while “real” returns (adjusted for Inflation) may | | be weaker than they appear on the surface. In other words, markets can rise nominally without necessarily | | translating into broad gains in purchasing power. | | Her broader point is that many investors are still positioned for the old regime—where interest rates and monetary | | policy alone drive cycles—while the interaction between fiscal expansion, high debt levels, and policy constraints | | increasingly shapes the current system. | | Whether this truly represents a lasting “new paradigm” is still debated, but it’s a framework gaining attention as | | post-2008/2010 macro conditions continue to evolve. | | | | ➡️Pierre Wunsch, Governor of the National Bank of Belgium, delivered a stark warning: Belgium no longer has the | | financial capacity to cushion another energy shock. After deploying massive support during the 2022 crisis, fiscal | | space is now exhausted. Rising deficits, higher costs, and fragile public finances leave “very limited room for | | maneuver.” Wunsch made clear that broad, government-funded relief is no longer viable. Future support would require | | difficult tradeoffs, including cutting business tax breaks rather than increasing taxes on individuals. The warning | | comes as geopolitical tensions rise, particularly around Iran and the broader Middle East. Wunsch cautioned that a | | prolonged conflict could slow global growth and push Belgium into a technical recession. “If the war continues… it | | would only be a matter of time before the markets react,” he told lawmakers. The fiscal outlook is already strained. | | Belgium must find at least €5B to balance its 2026 budget, with Prime Minister Bart De Wever rejecting further | | large-scale aid after previous “helicopter money” policies.' - Bitcoin News | | | | Got Bitcoin? | | | | ➡️'Bitcoin’s floor is not static.

It’s a protocol for unbiased value transfer, free from central manipulation. In a world of fiat noise, Bitcoin is the signal. Choose your foundation wisely.' - Jeff Booth 🧡Bitcoin news🧡 Photos hosted by Azzamo ( https://azzamo.net/) On the 31st of March: ➡️The median home price has tripled since 1980, after adjusting for Inflation. Wages over the same period are up 18%. That one gap explains more about the economy than any jobs report or GDP number ever will. Housing didn't become unaffordable because people got lazier. It became unaffordable because asset prices outpaced wages by a factor that compounds every single year. In 1980, the median home cost 3.9 times the median household income. Today it costs 5 times. A 20% down payment went from $12,740 to over $83,000. The paycheck that's supposed to cover it barely kept pace in real terms over 44 years. This is what currency debasement looks like up close. The dollar has lost over 70% of its purchasing power since 1980. That doesn't show up on a grocery receipt all at once. It shows up over decades in the growing distance between what people earn and what things cost. The generation that bought homes at 3.9x income is telling the generation facing 5x income to work harder. The math doesn't back that up. - TFTC Got Bitcoin? https://cdn.azzamo.media/698daa85f3331f2ba1acf22ee47cf0277ede4ad8bb7f9ae65dca5820cabc5d19 ➡️Here we go again. Dutch Inflation rose to 2.7% in March, according to a flash estimate by Statistics Netherlands. One notable detail: energy prices jumped by 6% — yet this received little attention in the headline narrative. Based on recent trends, the risk of further increases remains real. → Average savings rate in the Netherlands: below 1.30%, according to De Nederlandsche Bank → Inflation: 2.7% and potentially rising → The result: your purchasing power is eroding faster than you think In a world of ultra-low savings rates and rising Inflation, saving is no longer rewarded. And bonds — even for pensions — aren’t much better. - Jeroen Blokland ➡️Google estimates that breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography could require fewer than 500K physical qubits and only 1.2K–1.45K high-quality logical qubits, far below previous estimates in the millions. Taproot may increase the number of vulnerable wallets, as it exposes pub keys.' - Bitcoin News Now hold your horses: TFTC with a great explanation on the matter. "A quantum computer just "broke" Bitcoin. Except it didn't. Not even close. Google Quantum AI published a paper showing that they've reduced the theoretical ECDSA attack to 1,200 logical qubits. They didn't publish the circuits. They didn't run the attack. They published a zero-knowledge proof that their math works, then cited national security. Here's where we actually are. Entangled logical qubits achieved so far: 96 Coherence time: 1-2 seconds Time the attack requires: days Physical qubits needed: 500,000 Largest quantum computer today: 1,200 noisy, non-error-corrected qubits That's a 100,000x coherence gap. It's not a software problem. It's a fundamental engineering problem that nobody has solved. But here's what most people miss. Bitcoin developers aren't waiting for a crisis. They're already shipping. SHRIMPS: post-quantum signatures 3x smaller than NIST standards, built for Bitcoin's block space constraints. BIP-360: a quantum-resistant output type already live on testnet, with BTQ Technologies running transactions through it. The full upgrade could take 7 years. That's why the work started now. The protocol will be ready before the computers are." Satoshi Nakamoto in 2010 on quantum computers: "If it happens gradually, we can still transition to something stronger." ➡️A co-author on Google's quantum paper calls himself a "Bitcoin security researcher." He actually works for the Ethereum Foundation. Then, at the end of his own thread about breaking Bitcoin's cryptography, he casually drops that "Bitcoin PoW is cooked." Totally unbiased research. ➡️'You can't make this up. Germany is debasing its silver coins by 46% because they're getting too expensive. Germany is reducing the silver content of its 35- and 50-euro collector coins, citing volatile precious metal prices and efforts to curb speculation, the finance ministry said. The 35-euro coin will contain 46% less silver, weigh 17g (down from 18g), and have more copper added. Officials say the move is aimed at preventing coins from tracking metal prices or becoming too costly to issue.' - Bitcoin News These are collector coins, not everyday circulating euros. But the principle is the same one that's played out across monetary history. When the intrinsic value of the metal inside a coin rises above what the state wants to pay, the state dilutes the metal. Rome ran this playbook for over 200 years. Nero started cutting the silver content of the denarius around 60 AD, from near-pure down to 90%, then 50%, eventually near zero by the third century. The context was different. The pattern isn't. Silver is surging because of real demand: industrial use, safe-haven buying, and a global flight to hard assets amid war and Inflation. Germany's response isn't to acknowledge that reality. It's to make coins cheaper to produce while keeping the face value the same. You can't debase 21 million.

The argument is straightforward. Taiwan holds $577 billion in foreign reserves, almost entirely in US Treasuries and dollar-denominated assets. If China blocks or invades, those reserves become inaccessible. SWIFT transfers get frozen. Gold sitting in foreign vaults can't be repatriated. Traditional reserves fail precisely when they're needed most. Bitcoin doesn't have this problem. It can be held in self-custody, transmitted via satellite, transferred across borders without permission from any bank or government, and converted to value anywhere there's an internet connection, or even without one through mesh networks and radio. The paper draws on real precedents. Ukraine's central bank received $100 million in bitcoin donations within days of Russia's invasion, faster than through any traditional aid channel. The National Bank of Ukraine processed $35 million in bitcoin conversions during the first months of the war. Meanwhile, Russia demonstrated the flip side: when SWIFT was weaponized against it, countries with no alternative settlement infrastructure had no options. Taiwan's situation is arguably more extreme. The island imports 98% of its energy and the majority of its food. A blockade wouldn't just freeze financial assets; it would threaten physical survival. The authors argue that even a modest bitcoin allocation, 5% of reserves (~$29 billion), would give Taiwan a censorship-resistant financial lifeline that no blockade can sever. The paper also notes that Taiwan's semiconductor dominance gives it massive leverage; TSMC produces over 90% of the world's most advanced chips. But that leverage is meaningless if the country can't access its own money during a crisis. This isn't hypothetical anymore. The Strait of Hormuz is currently under selective Iranian control. SWIFT has been weaponized against Russia. Traditional reserves have proven vulnerable to the very scenarios bitcoin was designed to address. Taiwan may be the clearest case study yet for why nation-states need a sovereign asset that doesn't depend on anyone else's permission to use.'

Here's how it works: The fund holds Bitcoin exposure through IBIT, BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF, then systematically sells call options on top of that position to collect premium income, which gets distributed to investors. You get BTC exposure + a yield check. However, you cap your upside in a rip. In a flat or slow-grind market, you collect income. In a vertical move, you leave gains on the table. It's a covered call strategy, which is common in equity ETFs, now being applied to Bitcoin by the world's largest asset manager. IBIT already holds $70B in BTC, and $BITA is their next layer. No fee or launch date announced yet, but Bloomberg's Eric Balchunas puts the fee over/under at 38bps.' - Bitcoin News ➡️BITCOIN-BACKED MUNICIPAL BONDS ARE HERE New Hampshire is moving forward with a first-of-its-kind $100M Bitcoin-backed municipal bond, using over-collateralized BTC instead of taxpayer backing to fund economic development. The bonds, issued by the state’s Business Finance Authority, are structured as taxable conduit revenue bonds tied to a private borrower rather than public funds. Repayment comes from the borrower or, if needed, liquidation of Bitcoin collateral held in segregated cold storage by BitGo. The borrower must post BTC worth 160% of the bond value, with a mandatory liquidation trigger at 140% loan-to-value to protect investors. One tranche may also offer upside exposure if Bitcoin appreciates. Moody’s assigned a provisional Ba2 rating, citing volatility risk but acknowledging strong collateral safeguards. If finalized, the deal would mark a major step in integrating Bitcoin into regulated municipal finance, positioning it as usable collateral inside traditional capital markets while attracting Bitcoin businesses to the state.' - Bitcoin News ➡️The Journal of Risk and Financial Management just published a Bitcoin price model. $1M by early 2027. $5M by 2031.

Printing money is easy and fixes things short-term. So governments always do it. Left or Right. 2. The printed money grows faster than the economy, so it ends up in hard assets. 3.

We have fiscal dominance, endless dominance, and real performance is lagging. Most market participants aren't ready for the new paradigm. Video: https://x.com/BitcoinNewsCom/status/2039723035314257930 Lyn Alden argues that we are moving into a very different macro environment than the one during the 1980–2020 period. In her view, that earlier era was defined by central banks leading the cycle through interest rate policy, falling Inflation, globalization, and steadily declining debt costs. She suggests that this framework is breaking down and being replaced by something more fiscally driven. The key idea is “fiscal dominance”: government spending and deficits increasingly shape economic conditions, while central banks have less effective control over Inflation and growth dynamics than before. In this environment, liquidity support tends to reappear more quickly when markets weaken, reinforcing what she describes as an “endless liquidity” backdrop. This doesn’t mean unlimited money printing, but rather a recurring pattern of intervention to stabilize debt-heavy systems. A related consequence is that asset prices can remain supported, while “real” returns (adjusted for Inflation) may be weaker than they appear on the surface. In other words, markets can rise nominally without necessarily translating into broad gains in purchasing power. Her broader point is that many investors are still positioned for the old regime—where interest rates and monetary policy alone drive cycles—while the interaction between fiscal expansion, high debt levels, and policy constraints increasingly shapes the current system. Whether this truly represents a lasting “new paradigm” is still debated, but it’s a framework gaining attention as post-2008/2010 macro conditions continue to evolve. ➡️Pierre Wunsch, Governor of the National Bank of Belgium, delivered a stark warning: Belgium no longer has the financial capacity to cushion another energy shock. After deploying massive support during the 2022 crisis, fiscal space is now exhausted. Rising deficits, higher costs, and fragile public finances leave “very limited room for maneuver.” Wunsch made clear that broad, government-funded relief is no longer viable. Future support would require difficult tradeoffs, including cutting business tax breaks rather than increasing taxes on individuals. The warning comes as geopolitical tensions rise, particularly around Iran and the broader Middle East. Wunsch cautioned that a prolonged conflict could slow global growth and push Belgium into a technical recession. “If the war continues… it would only be a matter of time before the markets react,” he told lawmakers. The fiscal outlook is already strained. Belgium must find at least €5B to balance its 2026 budget, with Prime Minister Bart De Wever rejecting further large-scale aid after previous “helicopter money” policies.' - Bitcoin News Got Bitcoin? ➡️'Bitcoin’s floor is not static.

Bitcoin. 🎁If you have made it this far, I would like to give you a little gift: Peter McCormack - How to SURVIVE The "Final Reset" of The Economy | Jeff Booth In this episode, Jeff Booth explains why the natural state of a free market is deflationary and why a debt-based monetary system can’t allow it. We discuss AI as an acceleration event: exponential productivity should make life cheaper, but the system has to create scarcity to keep debt serviceable. They cover how Inflation functions as hidden extraction, why regulation favors monopolies, why politics becomes a fight over who controls broken money, and why AI will intensify centralization, surveillance, and social conflict unless the monetary layer changes.
