Episode notes
Institutions Can Hold Price Amid Retail Capitulation
- MicroStrategy's $1.25B BTC buys show institutions can sustain large accumulations even amid retail capitulation.
- That institutional buying helps explain Bitcoin's price stall near $90K despite heavy demand from buyers like Michael Saylor.
Privacy Rules Will Vary By Jurisdiction
- Dubai's move to ban privacy coins highlights growing jurisdictional divergence on privacy assets.
- Major markets will curb pure privacy coins while toggled or regulation-friendly privacy may find niches.
Prefer Toggleable Privacy For Adoption
- Consider privacy solutions that let users toggle visibility to comply with regulators and protect users in authoritarian regimes.
- Favor networks enabling selective confidentiality for institutional and cross-jurisdictional use cases.
