A few years ago, people who held BTC were called drug dealers and criminals. Today the WH had its first BTC/Crupto conference. Michael Saylor (genius) presented this to the WH (read it slow and twice). https://www.michael.com/a-digital-assets-strategy

The Lummis bill has bipartisan support. Lets see. Its a way for the US to maintain dominance and pay off trillions in deficits.

The actual strategies to be used have not yet been disclosed, the above link was just someone's ideas of the possibilities. More importantly, the EU is going for the CBDC, ideally by Oct 2025, while the US goes for BTC and bans CBDC. see Christine Largard at 1:17 mark. https://x.com/efenigson/status/1898382481184993711

For years, I have pounded the table here on FHOF on the evils of forfeiture. Strengthening its hold by increasing it as a source of revenue for the government is a very, very bad idea.

"More importantly, the EU is going for the CBDC, ideally by Oct 2025, while the US goes for BTC and bans CBDC."

Freedom itself hinges on the outcome of this struggle!

The Socrates arrays are great at identifying turning points, though I have not been successful in identifying the correct direction (up or down).!! The next turning point is March 11 on the daily chart (presumably low). Current market action suggests that we bottom on March 11. The weekly shows a turning point on the week of March 24 (presumably high). Monthly arrays, show turning points in March and Aug. Determining whether the turning points are high's or low's is the difficult part. Lets see.

The gold-silver ratio currently stands at 91, well above its historical average of 65. This suggests silver may be undervalued relative to gold, creating a potential buying opportunity. (The gold-silver ratio measures how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold.)
Silver may go up over the next yr or so more than gold.

Nice datum.

I noticed it seems to be moving above 34.

Decrypto is reporting that BTC is still reporting outflow of funds and ETH is doing even worse. Is there a point at which this becomes a self sustaining panic that wipes out all our gains?
