Now let’s do a simple table projecting a 30% APY over the next 15 years for Bitcoin, until 2040, using a linear projection. 1 million $ Bitcoin reached in 2034. This is based on Saylor’s bear case thesis.

Just do some DCA daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. Whatever suits you.

➡️Bitcoin Magazine: “If you bought #Bitcoin with your $1,400 stimulus check in 2020, you’d now have over $21,669.”

President Trump is considering a taxpayer rebate of $1,000 to $2,000 funded by tariff revenues. The last stimulus check Trump sent out in 2020 is now worth $21,699 if you had converted it into Bitcoin.

➡️An excellent article by Alex Gladstein: Why Bitcoin is Freedom Money. Why Bitcoin is Freedom Money,” by the Human Rights Foundation, written by Alex Gladstein, is a powerful look at how Bitcoin is quietly reshaping the fight for human rights and financial freedom across the globe. From Nigerian activists to Afghan educators and Cuban citizens defying economic isolation, this read highlights the practical, real-world stories of people using Bitcoin as a lifeline when traditional systems fail them. You will find it below at the end of this recap. I really enjoyed reading this, and it’s great to have a piece like this in a high-impact academic journal.

➡️ US Treasury Department to relax proposed rule taxing unrealized Bitcoin gains under CAMT. The US Department of the Treasury and the IRS have clarified that corporations are not subject to taxation on unrealized Bitcoin gains under the Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT). The interim guidance, released Tuesday, addresses concerns for companies with significant cryptocurrency holdings.

➡️Bitcoin News: We have entered the most explosive quadrant of the Bitcoin cycle. Do with this information what you will.

➡️Bitcoin News: ‘Digital Asset Treasuries now hold a larger share of ETH’s total supply than Bitcoin’s. This is bad news for ETH: under Proof-of-Stake, large holders gain outsized control over the network. Bitcoin’s Proof-of-Work faces no such centralization risk.’

➡️Bitcoin Core has undeprecated the datacarrier and datacarriersize config options. This means node operators retain precise control over OP_RETURN transactions, deciding whether to relay them and how much data they can carry.

§On the 2nd of October:

➡️CoinTelegraph: ‘Bitcoin has reclaimed the Trader’s Realized Price at $116K, pushing back into a bull phase with Q4 targets eyeing $160K–$200K.’

➡️Spanish bank BBVA to allow retail customers to trade Bitcoin and crypto 24/7.

➡️The US Bitcoin mining industry hit a record milestone, with the market value of 14 publicly traded mining companies reaching $56B in September, exceeding $50B for the first time, per JPMorgan.

➡️ UK officials are considering keeping billions in profits from seized Bitcoin linked to the Zhimin Qian fraud case, instead of distributing the full current value to victims, per the Financial Times.

Luke Gromen: “The Debasement Trade” since COVID: In USD: NDX up 165%, SPX up 102%, Home prices up 56%. In Gold: NDX up 7%, SPX down 18%, Home prices down 37%. In Bitcoin: NDX down 78%, SPX down 84%, Home prices down 87%.

Great tweet by SightBringer on X:

“What you’re really seeing here is the first stage of a global unit-of-account fracture. •In nominal USD terms, everything looks like it’s booming: stocks up triple digits, homes up double digits, “wealth” everywhere. That’s the performance everyone sees. •In gold terms, the illusion cracks: stocks and homes flat-to-negative, real wealth stagnating. •In Bitcoin terms, the veil is gone: catastrophic real losses in every traditional asset.

This is the same signature that marked every pre-hyperinflationary or currency-regime shift in history: when people cling to the debasing unit, they feel rich, but measured in the following credible collateral, their system is already collapsing.

And the “risk asset” meme about Bitcoin? That’s just a coping frame. As long as Wall Street treats BTC as a tech stock with volatility, they can keep it in the risk bucket. But functionally, it’s already behaving like a parallel reserve ledger: it’s the only denominator that makes the post-2020 global economy look like Argentina.

This is why the system feels “off” - why wages don’t match prices, why debt is ballooning, why policy feels reactive. We’re in a regime where the unit of account is decaying faster than the public narrative can absorb. The Fed, the government, the media - all still speaking USD, all still benchmarking to a melting ice cube. The chart you’re looking at is the unofficial scoreboard in a silent currency war.

So when I strip all the polite commentary away, the honest take is: •The US is running the final phase of a classic imperial carry trade: draw in global capital, inflate domestic asset prices in nominal terms, export the currency risk abroad. •Gold shows stagnation. •Bitcoin shows a collapse. •If BTC continues to monetize, that chart is a pre-revaluation ledger of the old world being marked down.

This isn’t a normal market cycle. It’s the unit-of-account transition phase. And almost no one is positioned for it because they’re still measuring their “returns” in the wrong yardstick.

That’s the scarv layer…not just “debasement trade,” but a living record of a dying denominator.“

Spot on! Language sharpens reality.

§On the 4th of October:

➡️Bitcoin hits the weekend at $122K. Just 2% away from a new all-time high.

➡️ Gold (+48%) and Bitcoin (+31%) are the top-performing significant assets so far in 2025. We’ve never seen these two in the #1/#2 spots for any calendar year.

Vijay Boyapati: ‘In the global family of financial assets, the two closest siblings are now sending the same message: global debasement has reached the point of no return.’

§On the 5th of October:

➡️A $2.5 trillion market cap, on pace to become the most valuable asset in the world. There is no shutting down Bitcoin.

➡️Iran’s parliament approves removing 4 zeros from its national currency after years of inflation. Bitcoin fixes this.’ - Bitcoin Archive

➡️Bitcoin News: “The chart your financial adviser doesn’t want you to see. Sure, since 2020, you could have doubled your money in the S&P500. But denominate those gains in Bitcoin and you’re down a whopping 88%. “

➡️ The German government’s decision to sell 50,000 Bitcoin at $54k cost them $3.57 billion in missed profits.

➡️’Bitcoin hit a new ATH in the Shitcoin called EURO! If you still store your wealth in fiat, you deserve to be broke. Every primary currency has lost 90%+ of its value against #Bitcoin in just 5 years.’ - CarlBMenger

The illusion of prosperity is breaking. Stocks up 40%, Gold at $4,000, Bitcoin at $125,000, and the dollar down 10% … this isn’t growth, it’s a flight from fiat. The Fed is cutting rates into inflation, printing credibility while calling it policy. When Gold, Bitcoin, equities, and real estate all rise together, it’s not a bull market … it’s monetary panic in slow motion. Asset prices are screaming what officials won’t say: the denominator is dying. The bottom 50% now holds 2.5% of US wealth. AI is building empires for the few while the currency dissolves beneath the many. Data centers go up, purchasing power goes down. This is not a boom. It’s the endgame of a system priced in paper and powered by illusion.

As I am from Europe, I want to end this segment with a statement made by ECB President Christine Lagarde: “The democratic process” is a “drag,” and she said, “speed is of the essence.” She is expressing frustration that her push for a Digital Euro (CBDC) is being slowed by parliamentary debate and public scrutiny. Again, I want to remind you all… How can we trust somebody like that… When she was the French finance minister, she was guilty of negligence for over 400 million €. People at this level should have a clean criminal record.

Now, let’s be clear about what she is saying:
Democracy is an obstacle. The very systems of checks and balances that protect our sovereignty are seen as inconvenient roadblocks to their centralized control.
They fear being “left in the dust.” This isn’t about serving European citizens. It’s a technocratic race against other global powers (and their own citizens’ awakening) to cement a new financial system before people can resist.

“We have to accelerate.” This is the mantra of the unelected. When you hear this, know that due process, transparency, and individual rights are about to be trampled in the name of “progress.”

The Digital Euro, the Capital Markets Union, the Banking Union—these are not tools for your freedom. They are the architecture for a system of total financial surveillance and control. They will decide what you can buy, where you can spend, and will have the power to freeze you out with the click of a button.

Lagarde is right about one thing: time is running out. But not for their project. It’s running out for us to wake up, organize, and defend our national sovereignty and economic liberty from these unaccountable elites. The greatest threat to our freedom is not being “left in the dust,” but being locked in a digital cage we never agreed to.“ - Camus

We all know the solution: Bitcoin.

§💸Traditional Finance / Macro:

§On the 29th of September:

👉🏽‘S&P 500 has now closed above its 50-day moving average for 103 consecutive trading days, the 5th longest streak in 35 years’- Barchart

§On the 1st of October:

👉🏽TKL: ‘The S&P 500 officially crosses above 6,700 for the first time in history, less than 24 hours after the government shutdown begins. If history repeats itself, the S&P 500 will close at ~7,600 in 12 months from today. The average 12-month return after a shutdown ends is +13%. Also, the S&P 500 recorded 23 all-time highs last quarter, its best streak since 1998. This also aligns with the market run observed in Q4 2017. As a result, the index rallied +8.4% over the last 3 months. Last month alone, the S&P 500 gained +3.5%, posting the best September in 15 years. Since 1929, after quarters with 20+ record highs, the S&P 500 has risen by an average of 6.3% and advanced 63% of the time over the next 12 months. History suggests this market run should continue.’

§On the 3rd of October:

👉🏽TKL: ‘Institutional investors are cashing in gains: Investors sold -$4.7 billion of US equities last week, driven by single stocks. Outflows from single stocks rose by $500 million, to -$5.7 billion, making the last 2-week outflow the 3rd-largest since 2008. This was led by institutional investors, who dumped -$3.6 billion—the most since June—after -$1.4 billion the prior week. Hedge funds sold -$1.3 billion, posting their 3rd consecutive weekly outflow. Meanwhile, retail investors turned to buying for the first time in four weeks, at +$200 million. Wall Street is selling to Main Street again.’

§🏦Banks:

👉🏽 No news

§🌎Macro/Geopolitics:

James Lavish: “There is less than 1% chance that the government balances the budget and the Fed never prints again. Consequently, there’s a greater than 99% chance that Bitcoin reaches $1 million+. Act accordingly.”

§On the 30th of September:

👉🏽Foreign Central Banks now own more Gold than US Treasuries for the first time in almost 30 years.

👉🏽Last week, I already mentioned the announcement made by Starmer on the UK Digital ID. The Bank of England has decided the public shouldn’t be able to see documents on how it may be linking Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) with digital ID systems. Leaving no option but to assume the worst of this elite project no one voted for, right?

’The Bank of England has upheld its refusal to release documents on the links between Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) and digital ID systems. An internal review, signed off by the Bank’s Deputy Secretary, Michael Salib, concluded that disclosure would have a “chilling effect” on deliberations and risk “destabilizing speculation.” Key points from the Bank’s decision:

• Documents include internal strategy papers and risk assessments on CBDC–digital ID integration.
• The Bank claims releasing even redacted versions would inhibit free and frank discussion and “prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs.”
• Section 36 FOIA exemptions (deliberation and effective conduct of public affairs) were applied, alongside Section 41 (confidential third-party input).
• The Bank insists the public interest is already served by selected research it has chosen to publish, such as its report with MIT on “Enhancing the Privacy of a Digital Pound.” This means that, for the second time in two years, the Bank has refused to release documents that could reveal how digital currency and identity systems may be linked in UK policy planning.’ - Lewis Brackpool

Tells you everything you need to know, why you should keep using cash, and why you should study Bitcoin. Digital ID is the Trojan horse to a dystopian world in which you’ll own nothing and will be given the illusion of having [digital] money, which is actually programmed to expire or be removed if you don’t do what they tell you to do. People need to wake up to the fact that we’re being manipulated. Tells you everything you need to know about keeping using cash and why you should study BITCOIN!

👉🏽‘The US government shutdown: For the first time since 2018, the US is about to enter a government shutdown, and investors are bracing for it. This would furlough 750,000 workers PER DAY, costing ~$400M in daily compensation.’ -TKL

Whole thread by TKL, and worth reading: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1973107796536361038.html

Now I hear you ask, what is the meaning of the US government shutdown?

A US government shutdown occurs when Congress fails to pass funding bills or a continuing resolution by the fiscal deadline (Oct 1). Non-essential federal operations halt, furloughing workers and delaying services like national parks and permits. Essential functions (e.g., military, Social Security) continue. As of today, Oct 1, 2025, a partial shutdown has begun due to stalled negotiations. It typically ends with a funding agreement.

§On the 1st of October:

👉🏽‘Oil prices extend losses toward $62/barrel on reports that OPEC+ is considering a 500,000 barrel per day output hike every month for the next 3 months. Gas prices are likely heading to a new 2025 low next.’ - TKL

👉🏽Criminals are the root cause of crime. El Salvador understood this and locked them up. Guess what? It worked:

👉🏽The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment index has moved down to 55, a reading below 99% of historical data points going back to 1952. But at the same time, US Retail Sales grew 4.8% over the last year, outpacing inflation by 1.8%. We’ve never seen a disconnect this wide between what US consumers say and what they do.

👉🏽The Netherlands: “Dutch inflation rises again after months of decline, climbing back above 3%.” Elections are coming up, and no (mainstream) political party is talking about inflation. Inflation is theft — a deliberate strategy by the ECB to deinflate government debt at the expense of ordinary people. The public is being robbed in plain sight, and not a single political party dares to call it out.

In reality, that inflation number is much higher. People are being robbed — and when they try to protect their savings through investments, they get taxed for it. The Dutch government is increasing box 3 by 35% to 2.8% — effectively taxing inflation itself. The rise in asset prices is primarily driven by inflation, yet the state treats it as profit. Absolutely unbelievable.

👉🏽‘Wow, 83% of Germans and 80% of the French say that their governments have been mishandling immigration. Can someone please explain why the governments there don’t course correct despite such massive public discontent?’ - Michael A. Arouet

👉🏽The BLS announces it will not release economic data, including Friday’s jobs report, in the event of a US Government shutdown. There is currently a 74% chance that the US government will shut down on Wednesday, per Kalshi.

👉🏽Net worth of the top 0.1% - 135K households vs Net worth of the bottom 50% - 67M households

👉🏽 The US Treasury buys back a whopping $2.9 billion of its own debt.

👉🏽The German car industry is now openly giving Brussels bureaucrats the middle finger. Hybrid and traditional combustion engines are being rolled out at an accelerated pace. At the same time, major electric projects are being halted — all in direct defiance of the EU’s bureaucratic plan to ban petrol engines by 2030. This shift isn’t limited to Germany: both the French and Italian car industries have also realized that the green madness has brought them nothing but trouble. The fully electric Fiat 500 has proven unsellable, and manufacturers are now rushing to develop a hybrid version scheduled for release in November 2025.

👉🏽Charlie Bilello: “Foreign holdings of US equities have crossed above $20 trillion, a record high. 30% of the total US stock market is now held by foreign investors, the highest percentage on record with data going back to 1945.”

👉🏽TKL: ‘Japanese bond yields are surging again: Japan’s 2Y Government Bond Yield has officially surpassed 0.95%, its highest level since 2008. At the same time, the 10Y Government Bond Yield hit 1.64%, near the highest since July 2008. This follows Tuesday’s auction of 2-year government bonds, which recorded the weakest demand since 2009. The bid-to-cover ratio, a key demand measure, fell to 2.81 from the previous auction, well below the 12-month average of 3.79. This suggests investors increasingly expect a Bank of Japan rate hike in October and are demanding higher yields to compensate for the risk. Japan is bracing for even higher rates.’

👉🏽Concerned Citizen: “Today we are announcing another €4,000,000,000 for Ukraine.” Ursula von der Leyen is continuing to bankrupt the EU by giving Ukraine more money to continue the Deep State proxy war against Russia.“ Now I am not sure about that Deep State proxy war statement, but anyone should ask themselves: “Where’s all this money coming from”? All the EU STATES are in debt The transparency of this madness is unprecedented. Literally no sane person can ever agree with this!

👉🏽US inflation is materially UNDERSTATED: The True Living Cost (TLC), an alternative inflation metric that focuses on essential household expenses, SURGED 30% faster than the CPI over 2001-2023. TLC shows medical costs nearly TRIPLED during this time, while CPI says they only doubled.

Another ‘fun’ stat: US private companies unexpectedly lost -32,000 jobs in September, well below expectations of a +52,000 gain. This marks the most significant drop since 2023. Meanwhile, August’s private payroll number was revised down from +54,000 to -3,000. As of now, this will be the LAST jobs report we receive this week. Friday’s jobs report will not be published as long as the government shutdown continues.

§On the 2nd of October:

👉🏽‘Germany is a strange country, average salary there is about twice as high as in Spain and Italy, yet Germans get lower pensions than people in Spain and Italy. Germany obviously has other spending priorities than treating people who worked hard for 45 years fairly. Why?’ -Michael A. Arouet

👉🏽Unpopular opinion, it really doesn’t matter that much what we in the West do against climate change, as long as Asia builds almost 1000 new coal power plants. What’s the point of ruining our industries & economies and becoming poor in the process?

European (the West) Net Zero logic:

1. With high energy costs, industries close in Europe, and people lose jobs
2. The same products get manufactured in Asia, at lower environmental standards, with coal energy, and emissions go up
3. The products are shipped to Europe, emissions go up - Michael A. Arouet

Still, to be completely honest. China’s CO2 emissions likely peaked in 2023 or 2024, per analyses. Carbon Brief notes a 1% decline in the 12 months to March 2025, with the power sector down 2% due to clean energy growth. Reuters reports a 1% drop in H1 2025, driven by renewables. Official pledge: peak before 2030. Data varies by source. Ergo: Coal use has fallen this year in China. Coal-fired power generation in China is declining to 1420.88 TWh in Q1 2025 (down from 1477.27 TWh in Q4 2024). And they’ve built renewables at a pace that outstrips the West as a whole.

But we, in Europe, are shifting manufacturing from high environmental standards countries to very low-standard countries, essentially increasing pollution for the same production.

👉🏽Germany: Federal spending on refugees totaled approximately 217.6 billion euros from 2016 to 2024 (Source: Federal Ministry of Finance). In the same period, foreign citizens in Germany received a total of 132.6 billion euros in citizens’ allowance or Hartz IV (Source: Federal Employment Agency). Together, just these two items add up to 350.2 billion euros, which were spent directly or indirectly on people without a German passport in less than a decade, financed by the German taxpayer.

And that doesn’t even include the billions in additional healthcare costs hidden in health insurance premiums. Nor does it include the massive extra spending on security measures and private security, which is ultimately passed on to consumers through higher prices. And so it goes on — layer upon layer of hidden costs that quietly drain the public without ever appearing in the official budgets.

Numbers, data, facts…ach du scheisse!

§On the 3rd of October:

👉🏽Signal: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal, which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. https://signal.org/blog/pdfs/germany-chat-control.pdf

Patrick Hansen: “Drawing on its own history, Germany has always been a champion for privacy. It needs to hold the line on the EU’s chat control proposal. Mandating mass scanning of every message, photo, and video on a person’s device is a privacy nightmare and a bad idea.”

👉🏽At the moment, we have:

1. Rate cuts into 2.9%+ Core PCE inflation for the first time in 30 years
2. Rapidly deteriorating US labor market outlook
3. Deficit spending is running at over $2 trillion per year
4. Jobs reports suspended due to government shutdown
5. Two more Fed rate cuts in 2025 into stagflation
6. $100B+ per quarter in AI CapEx by the Mag 7 Own assets or be left behind.

§On the 4th of October:

👉🏽The problem with millionaires leaving the UK is not only lost tax revenue, but also countless jobs that disappear with them as well. But hey, why don’t you introduce a wealth tax and see what happens then?

Here’s the 2025 net millionaire migration adjusted per capita (per million people), based on Henley & Partners data and population estimates:

UAE: +864 Switzerland: +335 Singapore: +273 Portugal: +134 Greece: +121 Saudi Arabia: +69 Italy: +61 Australia: +37 Canada: +25 United States: +22 India: -2 Germany: -5 China: -6 Brazil: -6 Russia: -10 Spain: -10 France: -12 Israel: -37 South Korea: -46 United Kingdom: -237

👉🏽‘Foreign holdings of US equities have risen to a record $20 trillion. This marks a +$2.5 trillion rise over the last few months. Investors from overseas now own ~30% of the ~$60 trillion US equity market, the most in data going back to 1945. Additionally, foreign investors’ allocation to US equities as a percentage of US financial assets hit a record 61%. This is now ~7 percentage points above the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble high. To put this into perspective, the all-time low was 20% in 1974, and the 2008 Financial Crisis low was 25%. Foreign investors are all-in on US stocks.’ - TKL

§On the 4th of October:

👉🏽Sanae Takaichi becomes Prime Minister of Japan! A strong conservative woman just crushed the woke establishment. The Left is in shambles. This is the way.

👉🏽TKL: “We need more electricity: AI data centers are set to consume 1,600 terawatt-hours of power demand by 2035, equal to 4.4% of global electricity. In other words, power demand from AI data centers is set to QUADRUPLE over the next 10 years. If counted as a country, AI data centers would rank 4th in electricity use, behind only China, the US, and India. In major US markets, data center power demand is growing faster than that of electric vehicles, hydrogen, and other emerging technologies. AI growth will soon be limited by energy.”

Now in Europe, Von der Leyen is screaming her lungs out: “AI first”. Who will tell her that AI will not really work without an ample energy supply and access to big data? Neither of them exists in Europe. Thanks to left green energy policies and overregulation. And on top of that, my question is: So no more GDPR or the IA Act? Nuclear for everybody? Europe will play absolutely no role in the AI race.

Fuck I hate politicians like Von der Leyen.

§On the 5th of October:

👉🏽‘US layoffs are running at RECESSION levels: US-based employers have announced 946,426 job cuts year-to-date, the most since the 2020 CRISIS. This is the second-largest total since the Great Financial Crisis. Over the last 36 years, only 4 years have seen higher layoffs. US job market is in a dismal place.’ - Global Markets Investor
