The promise of Bitcoin has come true.
“If you want to change the world, don’t protest. Write code!” #Bitcoin
– Hal Finney, 1994
If you own 1 Bitcoin you are in the top 1% of the top 1% of Bitcoin holders on Earth.
The world will be a better place for all mankind. Everyone can own a phone and send an email with bitcoin to anyone with or without internet.
ECP NetHappenings Bitcoin 2025 Banking has changed forever!
12 years ago BTC reached $100 for the first time On April 1, 2013,
Bitcoin broke through the $100 mark for the first time.
At that time, there were heated debates on forums and in the media:
“It’s a bubble!”, “It won’t grow anymore!”, “Who needs it anyway?” – today it all sounds like a joke!
NOW- 94.5% of the 21 million bitcoin has now been mined. Only 5.5% left to be mined over the next 115 years!
2025 The world of Banking
has Changed forever and will never
go back to the way it was.

#BANKING CHANGED OVERNIGHT!
iL1183 passed to REPLACE iL1179
#Banks can custody Bitcoin
with the repeal of SAB 121.
#We now have stable coins.
Rep. French Hill (R-AR), chair of the powerful House Financial Services Committee, told reporters Monday afternoon that a fundamental understanding among lawmakers that allowed stablecoin legislation to get off the ground in the first place was the notion that the products should be considered a payment rail designed to increase efficiency—not an investment product.

“That was a consensus that’s been established on both sides of the Hill, and it’s not really more complicated than that,” Hill said. “It’s not going to be an investment per se. It’s meant to be payment.”

The OCC just published a new Interpretative Letter, setting a new course for federal banks engaging in crypto activities.
– Clears federal banks to custody crypto assets, hold stablecoin reserves, and serve as blockchain verification nodes, without prior OCC nonobjection.
– Simplifies oversight by cutting unnecessary regulatory hurdles, retiring outdated approval requirements.
– Equips banks to innovate, with solid risk management still in place.
An important step for the financial system’s next chapter.

– A majority of assets in domestic brokerages still avoid the currency.
– Many US brokerages restrict BTC-related investments altogether.
– Many brokerage and retirement accounts have mandates that restrict investment in BTC-related products.
– Examples include: retirement accounts following target-date, annuity, insurance, or mutual fund strategies.
GET OUT OF ANY BANK THAT WON’T ALLOW YOU TO USE YOUR MONEY
IN THE WAY YOU WANT TO USE IT.
THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO RESTRICT YOU LIKE THAT.
10 of the largest US brokerages with $65.7 trillion in assets under management (AUM) restrict approximately $38.2 trillion of those assets from touching BTC.
Only three permitted unrestricted BTC investments for substantially all customers: Fidelity, Schwab, and Wells Fargo.
UBS, JP Morgan, Merrill / Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs Edward Jones
DO NOT ALLOW their investment advisors to recommend BTC.
New research estimates that accounts containing more than $38 trillion in assets at the 10 largest US brokerages do not allow BTC-related investments at all.
They’ll sell you junk bonds & penny stocks but not Bitcoin.

10/3/24 WARNING ABOUT PAPER BITCOIN @woonomic
Paper BTC serves to dilute Bitcoin’s fixed supply.
BTC price rise has been due to its future promise of zero debasement around the year 2140.
– Presently BTC annual debasement is 1.6% which is half of gold.
– USD by comparison was 2.0% this year but normally 5-7%.
Today, paper BTC exposure can now be created through futures trade contracts. This ratio to actual BTC is still low but for gold there’s at least 32x more paper than actual gold.
So viewing BTC with the same lens as a currency, BTC can certainly be debased by paper markets and has been since 2018.
In fact the SEC made a debasement attack on BTC by allowing futures ETFs while holding back spot ETFs.
#Bitcoin will surpass #Gold
by market cap.
ALERT: #China claims that they found 2k+ TONNES of new Gold in the past 6 months that could reshape global markets.
Remember: You can find more #Gold but you can’t mine more #Bitcoin. If you dig deeper and find more gold and you advertise it, you didn’t get richer but everyone else holding gold became poorer by dilution.
El Salvador Eyes $3 Trillion Gold Mine Beneath Its Soil
Supposedly the U.S. government owns over 8,133 metric tons of gold, or 261,498,926 troy ounces (held by the Fed.)
This amount is nearly as much as the combined reserves of the next three countries with the highest gold reserves.
The gold is stored at the United States Bullion Depository at Fort Knox, Kentucky.

BITPOWER
A Different Take on Proof-of-Work and Why Bitcoin is Far More Valuable than Digital Gold by JASON LOWERY
BITCOIN IS MORE VALUABLE THAN DIGITAL MONEY.
BITCOIN IS DIGITAL POWER.
“… we can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. ” ~Satoshi Nakamoto
As humanity approaches the latter half of the 21st century, a global revolution unfolds taking place not on the traditional battlegrounds of land, sea, air, or space, but in the fifth domain of cyberspace—the new frontier of warfare.
This book builds the groundwork needed to understand why Bitcoin and its underlying proof-of-work technology represents something far more substantial than its initial concept as “peer-to-peer electronic cash.” This technology offers society a groundbreaking tool to physically secure cyberspace and the systems of control embedded within it, at a juncture in human history when the world’s governance structures have become exceedingly oppressive and in dire need of transformation.
This book provides a unique perspective on Bitcoin that few others have dared to talk about, spotlighting its extraordinary value beyond merely money. Here, Bitcoin is portrayed as the largest, most physically powerful, and most energy-efficient weapon system ever built. Using simple explanations accessible to novices, Lowery uncovers why Bitcoin is really Bitpower, a technology poised to transform global power dynamics and usher in a new world order where computational bandwidth is synonymous with strength—where physical power and digital power are one and the same.
Step into a future where Bitcoin transcends its popular description as digital gold and becomes more commonly known as a colossal machine which harnesses the global electric power grid to endow cyberspace with unique physical qualities that standard computers cannot replicate, bridging tangible reality and virtual reality in unprecedented ways. In this future, Bitcoin emerges as not just the new foundational layer of a global financial settlement system, but as the new foundational layer of the internet itself, providing humanity with a paradoxically peaceful method of waging war against today’s corrupted and oppressive systems of control. Standing at the crossroads of technology and military strategy, Lowery demystifies Bitcoin to reveal its true nature as the ultimate enabler of freedom and prosperity in the digital age. This is a story about Bitpower and the dawn of the age of cyber sovereignty.
