[In The Zone '98]

So I know people have said BTC is a store of value but clearly its not. Its been dropping meanwhile gold and silver haven't

Speculation vehicle that powers the crypto market for mass speculation

Picture will be clearer for all assets after market structure passes

Does the LLC have to be setup in that state?

Ir can be set up anywhere, but he promotes Wyoming because of the laws there. It's harder to find out who you are and what you have if you set it up right in Wyoming.

It is not true that Gold and Silver have not crashed.

Gold fell by almost 30% in 7 months in 2008.

And silver fell by over 50% in 7 months 2008.

Both Gold and Silver crashed in 1974-1976

They are great stores of value because over a long period of time 20+ years, they generally stay above inflation and preserve ones wealth.

Bitcoin cannot be anything other than a store of value now. It sure as hell isn't a medium of exchange in 2025 and onwards. It can only process 7 Transactions per second (TPS). And save your breath on the lightning network. It is a unrealiable second layer. You cannot run the world financial system on something so slow. This isn't just a matter of opinion.

Also, banks have been storing gold since after the 2008/2009 financial collapse, and especially since Gold has been classified as a tier 1 high quality liquid asset. Silver usually follows w/e gold does, but may decouple the more it is being used for its dual utility. Also, countries dont trust the US as a middle man currency anymore, and want to go backcto being gold backed.

I say all thsi to say, that is why you haven't seen gold and silver decline in price recently.

Yeah this is very true. I had high hopes for Lightning that didn't pan out. Only real currency play in crypto is probably Monero since its privacy features make it the preferred currency of the Dark Net and drug dealers. LTC was once favored in illegal stuff too due to its speed but I think Monero has pushed it out.

I used to. They require kyc now, so


They are only good if you want access to a coin/token early.

Seeeeeeee! That freaked me out cuz they already had my info!?! I don’t want to finalize anything cuz that was a problem to me.

They have some ISOs I want but I don’t know if I want to go that route now.

It’s bad enough Coinbase has all my info so
I assume all the KYC platforms have it as well
lol


Which non-kyc platforms do you like?

 

[Bushmaster69]

I like BTCC

ISO 20022’s Nod Puts Ripple’s Interledger on SWIFT Radar — A New Era Set to Begin

ISO 20022 approves Ripple’s Interledger on SWIFT, paving the way for faster, seamless cross-border payments and a new era in global finance.

coinpaper.com

Why This Matters — Especially “Just in Time for the Migration”​

SWIFT’s transition to ISO 20022 is a major structural shift. By early 2026, as much as 90% of SWIFT’s messaging traffic is expected to fully adopt ISO 20022 standards.

Against this backdrop, ILP’s formal inclusion in the ISO 20022 framework could dramatically boost Ripple’s relevance to banks making the transition. Rather than being a fringe blockchain play, Ripple may find itself more deeply embedded in the foundational rails of global finance.

I actually like my job now so I won’t quit like I said, but if things pop off like we expect I just want to be in a position to spend like 80% of my salary investing in crypto. Lol

This is exciting
