TD₿: Quantum Computing & Why the US Should Dump Gold for Bitcoin! - (a Swan original video) with Hurley
TL;DR: Bitcoin is the ultimate global asset, outpacing gold and defies quantum computing fears. With $1M predictions, leaders advocate its fixed supply as the ideal reserve asset.
Hey Bitcoiners,
In today's video, Hurley covers how Bitcoin's recent dip below $100K sparked renewed fears about quantum computing threats. Still, experts confirm Bitcoin's encryption remains secure. Eric Trump and Michael Saylor advocate for Bitcoin as a superior asset to gold, citing its capped supply, global liquidity, and transformative potential.
Proposals for the U.S. to replace gold reserves with Bitcoin highlight its growing influence. Metrics suggest that Bitcoin is far from a market top, with $1 million per coin remaining a realistic long-term target.
Enjoy!

MicroStrategy Poised for Nasdaq-100 Inclusion, Potentially Driving Billions in Investments
According to Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas, MicroStrategy is expected to be included in the Nasdaq-100 index, potentially becoming its 40th largest holding with a 0.47% weighting. An official announcement is anticipated on December 13, with implementation the following week.
Analysts estimate this could drive at least $2.1 billion in ETF share purchases, representing 20% of daily trading volume. While inclusion in the S&P 500 is currently hindered by profitability requirements, upcoming Bitcoin accounting changes may make this possible by 2025. Neither Nasdaq nor MicroStrategy has commented on the matter.
