I’m clearly new at this, but I think I just figured out how to send my own bitcoin in a hot wallet on a exchange directly to my cold wallet. In a lot of ways, a deep understanding of traditional finance is helpful in analyzing this new technology, but it also sometimes makes it slower to understand the details. #btc #bitcoin #fiat

Anyone experiment with #bitchat? Would appreciate insights.

O yeah I have watched a lot of the youtube stuff and started using strike for personal usage. I just never tried incorporating #BTC into my business both as a portion of treasury and as a payments system for my people until now. I have largely consolidated my personal #BTC buying with Strike at this point.

The whole turf fight over control of the USD (US Treasury vs US Central Bank) does not bother me as much because I am sailing out of the system in this:

Fun fact, "greenbacks" were issued by President Abraham Lincoln’s administration during the Civil War to fund military efforts when traditional borrowing in specie (gold) proved insufficient. They were non-convertible paper currency, legally mandated as "legal tender" for all debts, though notably, import duties and interest on public debt still required payment in gold. Wouldn't it be interesting if the current tariffs were declared to be payable in gold? #gold #tariffs #trump #inflation #money #bitcoin #zaps

Thanks ! I’m trying to figure out whether I should use the primal wallet or my default strike wallet. Not sure why I don’t have the lightning icon in my profile…

Yup I watched the whole thing twice. It is excellent.

Does anyone have experience using Swan Vault for bitcoin cold storage? I would love to get feedback on real life usage. #bitcoin #btc https://www.swanbitcoin.com/vault/

Ahh good point.

Tier 1 assets represent the core capital of a bank and are the primary measure of its financial strength. These assets are intended to absorb losses without requiring a bank to cease its operations. Common Equity is the highest quality of capital and is the most loss-absorbing.

As someone who has been in finance/capital markets for over 20 years the following cannot be understated enough especially in the context of history: On July 1st, 2025, Basel III banking regulations officially reclassified physical gold as a Tier 1 asset, specifically a high-quality liquid asset (HQLA). This means that U.S. banks can now count physical gold at 100% of its market value towards their core capital reserves. Previously, gold was considered a Tier 3 asset, requiring banks to discount its value. Many times in markets the catalyst for great change is when the RULES change. #gold #bitcoin #markets #banks

I run my own business and our treasury consists of floating rate US Treasuries and #Gold Bullion. As I have gotten more experienced with #BTC I am thinking about including it too. I am leaning toward using Strike but would be interested in folk's views on this. I would want a solution that permits me to also pay my people in #BTC if they so chose as well.

It is underappreciated just how rich Japan is and yet has less extremes in the wealth gap between the rich and the poor. In fact, they outperform relative to many of the wealthiest nations. There are lessons to be learned if we are willing to learn... #japan #wealth #bitcoin #gold Source: Jesper Koll, UBS Global Wealth Report 2023, Wilkinson & Pickett & The Equality Trust, OECD, Bank of Japan, US Federal Reserve, Japan Labor Force Survey, Tokyo Stock Exchange, Bloomberg, Census Bureau, METI, Ministry of Finance, Milken Institute
