What happened that suddenly shifted that collective estimation/timeframe shift? (Or would warrant such a shift).
All the things I'm seeing, at least compared to these prices a year or five ago, are much better... So what am I missing? What does the world know that I don't?
Not sure
Same. That really bugs me too, and why I find this so much worse than 2022... Back then, we learned quickly what was up when various shitty behaviour (yield, Financialization, fraud) blew up and mechanically shoved price down by fire selling.
Now? I'm at a loss to explain wth is happening
Financialization
Now we have:
- Saylor
- ETFs
- This obsession with borrowing fiat against bitcoin.
We need less of those and more circular economy. Just hold bitcoin and use it as MoE rather than letting third parties treasure it.
And the blockchain is being used to store graffiti because the bitcoin community has stopped caring about the movement and just trust the church (Core). Client monoculture is the elephant in the room we don't want to talk about.
Yes, and it's also why I don't advise people putting 100% of their portfolio into Bitcoin. Who knows how long it'll takes to reach widespread adoption, and the twists and turns to get there? If it even gets there in our lifetime?

Two weeks, or no dice
25 years.
Governments have always been fundamental to the strength and prosperity of nations and economies and the people living within them.
Humans are social animals more dependent upon others than they often like to admit.
Economies have become increasingly complex requiring larger groups to maximise the power and wealth required to compete in a global marketplace economy.
Bitcoin is a valid response to corrupt western governments that have become beholden to bankers and their lobbyists, but Bitcoin is not a replacement for good government.
I made this point somewhere else recently, but the long time horizon part is pretty important.
Let's say everyone believes in eventual hyperbitcoinization, but the expected timeframe shifts out from 50 years to 80. That will have a dramatic effect on current prices, but it doesn't really change anything about bitcoin.
