For years, I worked in Asia’s TradFi system while quietly building conviction in Bitcoin. Eventually, those worlds converged.

I joined @jeremyalmond on @ReDeFined_talks to discuss that journey, and why Asia will matter in the next chapter of Bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin Amsterdam is probably my favorite Bitcoin conference. Smaller and a bit more grassroots than the rest.

Bitcoin is taking a hit while I'm here, but the vibes are still strong.

Good evening.

To everyone reading about the $5.9 billion Binance hack and declaring cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin dead, two things:

1) Bitcoin itself was not hacked, an exchange managing cryptocurrency wallets and holding the keys was hacked.

2) Former CEO CZ says that he expects Binance to fully cover the losses with their $144B balance sheet.

This event in no way shape or form exposed or impaired the Bitcoin network.

Have a great night.

Strategy skipped bitcoin last week and spent $205M buying back its STRC preferred near $99.

Saylor can buy back the pref, buy back the common, or buy bitcoin, and use any one of them to fund the others. Short term that's a flywheel arbitrage. Long term, as long as bitcoin per share grows, he wins.
