Nobody has built a sufficiently robust analytics system for tracking Bitcoin risks and opportunities at the enterprise level.
In tradfi, large companies pay $ 20M+ per year for these types of systems.
Revenue-generating products like this could one day represent a significant source of fuel powering the underlying @Strive engine ($SATA and $ASST).
We are so early.
If you want a better glimpse of the future, get good at reading between the lines.
When a CEO says something like this…pay attention.

How Strive is Doubling Down on Meritocratic Hiring, Growing the Bitcoin Pie, & Accelerating the Age of Abundance—w/ CEO Matt Cole 🚨

“I believe strongly that we have too many jobs right now. A world of abundance would require less work.”

Fiat (government-decreed money) is killing millions of good people, destroying families, and deteriorating the culture of humanity.
Wake up call: The stock market is not going up. Dying companies propped up by fake money won’t withstand gravity forever.
Your paper-thin fast food burger isn’t suddenly worth $18 because it’s bigger or better. It just costs more.
Fiat is a house of cards getting rapidly more flimsy as its foundation weakens and crumbles beneath its own corrupt design.
“AI will eradicate humanity,” is just the latest distraction in the Fiat fear factory. The greatest threat is not AI. AI is part of the solution. The greatest threat is Fiat.
Money has no place in government. A government cannot determine the true value of anything. Only a REAL, hard money can do that.
Money is not meant to be controlled. It is meant to be harnessed. It should just be available to all people at all times, like air or sunlight.
Bitcoin and AI solve the problem of broken money. Together, they could end Fiat’s evil reign and bring humanity back into balance.
This would theoretically lead to an age of abundance, where everyone has enough by default, and those who want more can provide additional value to ascend higher.
Can you see it?
Bitcoin is not a meme coin. Bitcoin is not a project. Bitcoin is not gambling. Bitcoin is not crypto.
Bitcoin is the only hard, digital money.
It’s a top 5 invention in human history, enabling the next stage of our evolution.
Don’t get scared.
Don’t get confused.
Don’t get distracted.
Anyone can leverage the upside while the rest of the world slowly realizes the truth.
Clowns will be clowns.
Focus.
Below are some thoughts from my visit to El Salvador for @btchistoricosv, nearly a year ago.
As we progress through Bitcoin’s inevitable but tumultuous adoption curve, it’s helpful to think macro.
Like many of my articles on X, this is an adapted except from my book, Life After Bitcoin.
Those who take the time to understand Bitcoin will do well in life.
Here’s to a bright orange future 🥂
A FIRST PRINCIPLES FRAMEWORK FOR MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION AT BITCOIN TREASURY COMPANIES (LONG READ)
There has been a lot of discussion recently around executive compensation, management ownership, founder ownership, dilution, and incentives across digital asset treasury
Whoever builds the thing that reliably safeguards humanity from an AI-induced extinction event will be in a position of extreme wealth, leverage, and power.
It’s not about pacing AI or slowing it down. It’s about prioritizing the right thing to build and letting anyone build it.
We need safeguards. Ethical protocols. Reliable transactions. Constant monitoring.
Part of the solution will be rooted in Bitcoin. Sats. Energy units.
Evolution has no pace. It’s like water. It flows with physics. You heard it here first.
Like Jack Dorsey, I know that slowing down, pacing, and monopolizing AI is not the way.
A decentralized future must be built with decentralized production frameworks.
I stand with @jack.
When I said, “Evolution has no pace,” this is exactly what I meant.

Thanks for expounding so eloquently, Jack.

Solid argument from @River that points to $840k within 5 years—mainly from a financial and institutional perspective. Once $1M is that close, human psychology will create a time crunch that lifts the price up to the psychological mark ($1M) relatively quickly. Then I would expect a drop back down again before the next journey from $1-5M per coin. That leg up might take a decade or more, which would be around 2041-45. And that takes us into mainstream adoption where Bitcoin is widely used as a means of exchange and the base settlement layer across the planet. If the dollar’s value goes down more rapidly than expected, it could accelerate this timeline. If the dollar stays dominant for a longer period, it decelerates this timeline. Other similar factors include nation state adoption and tools from entrepreneurs that could speed things up. x.com/river/status/2…
You know I’m your buddy, @GaryCardone, but thinking Bitcoin can’t get to $5M per coin is a logical fallacy. I would argue $5M is a near certainty. If you want to talk percentages, I’d put it above 99%.
Think about it logically:
Fiat has no capped supply. We keep printing more. The dilution of value is infinite.
Now consider Bitcoin’s fixed supply. As we print more dollars, each Bitcoin is “worth” more dollars in dollar terms, even if Bitcoin isn’t getting more adoption.
Now consider that an entire industry is building tools to spread Bitcoin’s usage, which has been gong on for 17 years. Game theory inherent in Bitcoin’s rigid design drives the incentive for people to support and grow the network once they are in. So this is very unlikely to stop.
The logical fallacy in your head is that there must be a cap on Bitcoin’s value relative to other assets. This is wrong, because the supply of other assets is a moving target. Gold’s supply grows, and it will continue to grow at a faster rate as we build more tools to better mine gold from the ocean and the stars. Gold has an unlimited supply. Bitcoin does not.
The other fallacy confusing your brain is the false assumption that there isn’t enough time. “It will never happen.” Humans have difficulty understanding rate of change. Gold has been used as a store of value for thousands of years. Your brain takes that info and converts it into a sense of security. “It’s always been here.”
Just because gold has been around for a long time doesn’t mean something better won’t or can’t come along.
I can’t tell you when Bitcoin will hit $5M a coin, but I can confidently say—without a black swan or extinction event, it’s much closer to a 100% certainty than an impossibility.
$5 mill bitcoin is a pipe dream and irresponsible for anyone to prognosticate.
ANYONE suggesting that btc is going to 5 mill is either stupid and irresponsible or is trying to sell you something.
105 trillion dollar asset! Please. Gold is 15 trilly.
This prediction infers
I've decided to step down as CEO of Twenty One.
This wasn't an easy decision, but it was the right one. This experience brought tremendous clarity about who I am and what I want to build.
My life's work remains Bitcoin. My Bitcoin company is @Strike.
The work continues.
