Narrative PsyOp Underway

• BlackRock releases 3 minute video explaining Bitcoin, says no guarantee of 21M coins
• Previously, “BlackRock will decide themselves which is Bitcoin in case of a fork”
• NPC takes:
• “It’s just a legal disclaimer!”
• “Let them create a fork, I won’t run it! Nodes control Bitcoin!”
• “Someone said something lol this doesn’t change anything!”
• “Just one dev” (Peter Todd) advocating inflation, now Saylor & BlackRock ETFs
• “We always knew it was social consensus”

Storyline 1: Roger & Hijacking Bitcoin

• Roger Ver & Steve Patterson’s book brings mass exposure to the BTC hijacking
• Roger’s arrest in April (?) then becomes a political right-wing issue for massive traction following Trump election & Ross Ulbricht pardon / Julian Assange release
• Tucker Carlson interview in December
• Narrative collapse all over the place for BTC supporters
• Unable to withstand the truth in online & offline chat
• “BTC needs some changes fast” becomes trendy recently with not-ready-to-defectooors

Storyline 3: Crypto Industry Confused

• 2024=Memecoins, the fad after NFTs & after ICOs
• Celebrities like Iggy Azalea get heavily involved in crypto, promo deals like Christiano Ronaldo etc. but that’s just become par for the course
• How important is privacy? Samourai shutdown, Tornado loses then wins, Roger under pressure
• ETH community start to doubt their roadmap
• Saylor says there’s no need for self-custody amid ATHs
• CBDC threat hasn’t appeared to force use as money
• The regulatory environment is getting more favourable due to popularity rather than utility
• Nobody entirely sure what the vision or point is

2025?

• Drive more on-chain volume
• Continue improving the availability & attention to open source metrics e.g. Selene daily user growth
• More usage of the meme game to help proactively promote BCH instead of debunk propaganda
• Conferences: BLISS round 2, Townsville conference in August
• Payoffs for VM Limits / Big Nums?
• Next chips from Jason Dreyzehner? Loops, OP_EVAL, P2S
• Other 2026 upgrades? UTXO commitments? Sub-sats? Quantum resistance?

Jeremy’s Predictions

• $1 000 price prediction
• High BTC & ETH fees will lead to a bull-run but that underperforms euphoric expectations - $100k BTC is “a bit of a stretch”
• Also everyone will be too poor to buy crypto because of inflation
• Will shake up the narrative as people look for working coins - BCH, XMR, DOGE, LTC, SOL
• Some of the minor BTC advocates will begin defecting to BCH

That's called obsession

It's something that you live

The only single thing that matters

After your wife and your kids

​

Cos if you can't learn to float

Then you sink or you swim
