TD₿: Bitcoin ETFs Hit $1 Billion As U.S. Debt Explodes! - (an original Swan video series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: All the signs of early-stage Hyperbitcoinization are here...
Hey Bitcoiners,
Bitcoin ETFs saw their highest gross inflows ever yesterday, at over $1 billion. Patient Capital Management and Grayscale filed registration statements with the SEC earlier today. Patient Capital filed to invest up to 15% of its $1.7T Opportunity Fund in Bitcoin ETF products, while Grayscale intends to launch a "Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust."
The demand for Bitcoin continues to explode, while the available supply on exchanges has dwindled to 2015 levels for exchanges like Coinbase.
As inflation numbers continue to rise and stay sticky and U.S. debt levels reach a breaking point, Dante takes a closer look through history to see how we got here, who is to blame, and whether it even matters?
This is what early-stage Hyperbitcoinization looks like...
Stay humble. Stack sats.
Enjoy!
Tick tock next block,
Cory Klippsten

World 2024 - Bitcoin For Corporations
Resorts World, Las Vegas

Bitcoin for Corporations is a unique opportunity for corporate leaders, financial executives, and technology innovators to discuss the future of Bitcoin in the corporate world. The event features expert advice on how corporations can plug into Bitcoin and reimagine their business directly from the market's most credible voices and experienced practitioners.
This event is hosted by MicroStrategy, a pioneer in Bitcoin adoption.
