I don't think we can change people's minds, we can only add new ideas, which will eventually flourish and create a different garden.

That's wisdom right there :) many times it's best to just say nothing

O peso Argentino é usado como moeda de Estado, nunca store of value. A dolarização da Argentina é um processo em curso. E a Bitcoinização também é outro, que está na verdade a acelerar. É dizer, os Argentinos estão a saltar o USDT e a comprar Bitcoin directamente. O mundo do futuro vai ser incrível.

You don't need to lock them up, the market will do that economically and voluntarily.

I think there basically be soft-fork with dual signature types the Quantum addresses and the regular addresses for a long time. And slowly people will slowly give economic preference to the new Quantum addresses. And that's it. To the point that people on older addresses start losing economic opportunity. Nobody is forced to do anything. There will be a new alternative/upgrade, people will choose it or not. It's really not that of a big deal. And it'a all voluntaryist.

"He was just looking around with his eyes!!" is great :D

Ah, good point. Mining would perfectly fit the situation, with the whole "drill baby drill" energy thing.

I don't understand how they think this will work in any way, shape or form.

Yeah, I get that. By the way, so you think the Treasury Department will not acquire Bitcoin?

Yeah and for me the strategy looks pretty simple. Trump administration waits for full gold remonetization, revalues balance sheet, gets 1T in liquidity, buys 100 billion Bitcoin, further monetizing Bitcoin. Why would the US want to monetize gold again, when BRICS are hoarding gold. It makes zero financial sense. The play would be to monetize Bitcoin and have Saylor go around the world to create the seeds of the new T-bill, Bitbond. Apart from this there will be the AI bubble risk capital moving from AI to the next risk asset. They'll certainly not play gold.
