The 20 millionth #bitcoin has now been mined. Take a second to process that. Over 95% of the total supply is already out in the wild. The final 1 million will take more than a century to trickle out, with the last satoshis expected to be mined around 2140. Scarcity by design. ₿ While this is a massive milestone to celebrate, it also forces us to look at the long-term horizon. We'd love to hear your theories on a few things as we enter this final issuance phase: The Fee Market Transition: As the block subsidy continues to ruthlessly halve, miners will eventually have to rely almost entirely on transaction fees. Will Layer 1 demand naturally drive fees high enough to secure the network, or will Layer 2 volume complicate miner profitability? The Future of Hashrate: What happens to the global hashrate in 20–30 years when the block reward is purely fractional? Does mining eventually become a state-sponsored necessity for sovereign security rather than just a for-profit enterprise? The Psychological Shift: Does crossing the "only 1M left" barrier actually accelerate institutional FOMO, or is this mathematical milestone completely priced in by the market? The "True" Supply: We know millions of BTC are lost forever in early, inaccessible wallets. How do you factor the phantom supply into the terminal value of the remaining 1 million coins?

Belief returned to where it belongs. For the second time, winning quotes have been stitched into the dugout headrests at Aston Villa FC - unveiled by Alan McInally to fans around the world, and carried into matchdays to come. At Xapo Bank, we share that long-game mindset: built on belief, designed for the future. #PlayTheLongGame #AVFC #AstonVilla #Bitcoin #XapoBank

Markets are testing our resolve. #Bitcoin is down ~50% from the October highs. In times like these, "Not your keys, not your coins" is only half the story. The other half? "Not your bank, not your safety." High-risk exchanges always buckle under volatility. If you aren't self-custodying, you need a regulated fortress. Xapo Bank has been navigating these cycles since 2013, bringing the security of a traditional bank to the digital frontier. How to survive a bear market: Avoid high-leverage "get rich quick" schemes. Keep your assets in a regulated, segregated account (or a cold wallet if you trust yourself). #Bitcoiners focus on accumulation, not just price action. Play the long game. The bunker is open. 🛡️ #Nostr #Plebchain #BearMarket

The dial says 10. Extreme Fear. 🩸 The tourists are panic-selling, and the fiat timeline is pure chaos. But for us, a 10/100 isn't a warning sign, it's a signal. Market sentiment is temporary. Absolute scarcity is forever. Let them trade their emotions while #Bitcoiners quietly absorb the supply and lay the groundwork for the 2028 halving. Turn off the 1-minute charts. Stick to your #DCA. Guard your stack. Stay humble and keep stacking. ⚡️ #Plebchain #StackSats #Nostr

Zoom out. The S2F $500k epoch is mathematically on schedule. Stop thinking in fiat. #Bitcoin to 55k? Look at the chart and take a step back from the daily candles. Every time there is a minor pullback, the crypto tourists and fiat traditionalists come out of the woodwork claiming "this cycle is different." It’s not. It’s math. Here is what #PlanB’s updated chart is telling you if you’re actually paying attention: The #S2F Target is an AVERAGE: Notice that dotted line for the 2024-2028 halving period? It sits at ~$500k. That is the average for the epoch, not the cycle top. The 200-Week MA is Unbreakable: Look at that solid black line. The 200-week moving average is up only. Realised cost price (the grey line) is trailing right behind it, building the hardest floor in the history of financial assets. (Around $55K) RSI is Just Warming Up: The colour overlay shows we aren't even flashing cycle-top red yet. We have plenty of room to run. This chart is exactly why true wealth eventually outgrows a hardware wallet in a desk drawer. At Xapo Bank, we treat Bitcoin like the tier-one global reserve asset it is. We secure our members' wealth with fully regulated, institutional-grade infrastructure and pay yield on their BTC, allowing them to sleep perfectly as the algorithm marches toward half a million. Will Bitcoin go to 55k? What do you think? Fiat is melting like an ice cube. The S2F model is the freezer. Tick tock, next block. 🕰️🔥 #Stock2Flow #BitcoinCycle #BitcoinHalving #Nostr

Everyone talks about the loud voices in #Bitcoin. But nobody talks about the man who orange-pilled Silicon Valley before it was cool. Wences Casares is the "#PatientZero" of institutional adoption. He convinced the tech giants. He built the vaults at Xapo. And then? He stepped back. Real power doesn't need the limelight. The ones who know, know. 🫡 Watch the full video here: youtu.be/IEoNKSWeVGA #nostr #zap #xapobank #WencesCasares
