In November 2017, Bitcoin dropped about 30% from an ~$8k all-time high to ~$5.5k - then ripped to a new high near $20k by Christmas. Volatility like this isn’t unprecedented. https://blossom.primal.net/ad251db1717a1f2c35a9278834ed5598a927415f9d2528e06a8487b57adadc11.png

GM and happy Monday! New Zealand’s cash markets open shortly, with Australia and Asia right behind. Will our local institutions use the head start to buy the dip or are they effectively handcuffed until the US ETFs open in 21 hours?
#nevent1q…wqxy

2025-11-15 23:31:46 UTC

Since spot Bitcoin ETFs arrived, we’ve had three major “sales”: -35% (Aug 2024), -30% (Apr 2025), and now -25%. Every dip is getting shallower as big buyers step in sooner. Are institutions front-running each other to catch the dip before anyone else can? #bitcoin https://blossom.primal.net/fed85bbc0626a2af7b28f4c5b49f303c7d86fcfd3afc1c2d58dd885e13148f1c.png

2025-11-14 21:33:02 UTC

A -25% sale on Bitcoin is great, but the chart shows it’s nothing like the -40% to -80% discounts we’ve seen before. Do we still have deeper discounts ahead to look forward to, or is this sale coming to an end? #bitcoin https://blossom.primal.net/fc4e99a247a0eef0e01256858bd207475f33a1c9f7160a1164b86e70377aac42.png

Yep, that's true! But a lot of places still don’t. Does your local pub accept sats? It's awesome to see New Zealand leading the way—traditional venues embracing Bitcoin, with staff fully trained on dedicated point-of-sale terminals. Bolt is a great tool too—you can set per-transaction and daily spend limits when you set it up.

In 2017, 1 ETH was worth 15M sats ($16k). Now, it’s worth just 3M sats ($3.2k)—an 80% loss of value. Remember everyone, don't gamble your #Bitcoin!

⚡ Zaps you receive on #nostr are tax-free in New Zealand! They meet the definition of 'Koha' (gift) under NZ law: the zapper gives sats with no expectation of goods/services, and the zappee shares content freely with no expectation of payment. Learn more:

If Bitcoin were a large city, about 2,100 square kilometers like Los Angeles or Bangkok, the commonly transacted piece would be like the tip of a ballpoint pen (1 square millimeter). These tiny pieces—often called sats, zaps, or little bits of Bitcoin—are what Bitcoiners zap to each other as tips. For context, a cent is worth about 10 sats, while a dollar is about 1,000 sats.
The "BTC" unit (annoyingly also sometimes called Bitcoin) is 100 million times larger—100 square meters, about the size of a 2-bedroom apartment. And the total area of Bitcoin that will ever exist is 21 million times larger than a BTC and 2,100 trillion times larger than a sat.
But it all adds up to just one Bitcoin. Every sat you zap or BTC trade you make is simply an exchange of different-sized pieces of that one finite #Bitcoin.

2024-12-14 19:52:00 UTC

There's 👏 only 👏 one 👏 #Bitcoin.
You can divide it into 21 million pieces and call them BTC, or into 2100 trillion pieces and call them sats, zaps, or just bits of bitcoin.
No matter what you call them, it all adds up to the same: one true #Bitcoin. There will never be more.

"In 2013, there was a poll taken that asked young people under 35 in this country, are you proud of the United States? 85% said yes.
The same poll taken five months ago, 18% said yes.
So somehow, during the administration of these two presidents, an entire generation of Americans has lost pride in our country and a hope in their own futures. And they they feel that way because they see what's happening.
They can't get into a home. This is the first generation in history in America that is going to live worse lives than their parents.
They see the vitriol that you saw here, the division, the polarization that makes them disgusted with politics.
They're seeing the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that has transformed our agencies from the CIA, health agencies, the environmental agencies, into sock puppets for the industries they're supposed to regulate.
They're seeing the destruction of our soils, the destruction of our air and water.
They're watching this happen, and the politicians do nothing about it except for hate on each other.
If you want more of the same, you should vote for President Biden, President Trump. You know what's going to happen. You know that. They're going to give you four more years of the same stuff.
If you want things to completely change, you're going to support me because I'm going to change everything.
This is a moral battle for the soul of our nation to restore our moral authority around the world by projecting economic power abroad rather than spending $8 trillion on regime change wars that have left every nation we've touched worse off than we found it and restoring our moral authority here at home.
The first day in office -- you heard what they're going to do. You don't even understand it.
Here's what I'm going to do. Day one in office I'm going to issue an executive order saying any federal official who tells a lie to the American public will lose his job.
I'm going to stop the surveillance state.
I'm going to stop the propagandizing by our agencies of of the American public.
I'm going to unravel the war machine.
I'm going to unravel the corrupt merger of state and corporate power.
I know how to do it. I've been litigating against these agencies for years, and I'm uniquely suited to do this.
But I can tell you, I'm going to do these things when I get in there. I'm going to make sure that our Constitution is protected, that AI is deployed to make government more transparent rather than by government to enslave the rest of us.
I'm going to bring AI home and blockchain home because we need these new industries to grow our way out of the debt crisis.
This is something that these two aren't even talking about.
If you want everything to change, you'll support me.
If you want to vote out of fear, you need to support one of those.
Guys, if you want to vote out of hope, out of inspiration, out of pride in your country, out of restoring the moral backbone of our people and our nation, you should vote for me." - Robert F Kennedy Jr #election #kennedy #2024
