20 billion a year for 5 years? Debt of 36 tn. So ... half of that is 18 trillion, and with 1 million coins that values BTC at 18 million per coin in 2045.

Except they can print more money and make up new tarrifs to fund their stacking efforts. Then they tell the world they are doing it with a SBR and game theory kicks in and inflates their wealth. Which they can then use Saylors method to borrow against it to buy more.

The question I cant quite figure out, if the US inflates their dollar but backs it with BTC, would that cause every other currency to also inflate against the dollar?

Trump administration offering buyouts to nearly all federal workers

The sweeping buyouts are being offered to “make sure that all federal workers are on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office and adhering to higher standards,” a senior administration official told NBC on condition of anonymity.

In reality, the sweeping buyouts are intended to push out anyone who won't do as the king demands.

u/HSuke 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 28 '25

Being more rational than the Bitcoin maxis apparently.

Bitcoin is a $2T network being protected by $20B of mining equipment. What what happens when it's much more valuable? How much is it going ro cost to secure the network? 10% of global energy? 40%?

Its security ratio of 1% is already laughably insecure. Imagine later on being able to wipe out $500T worth of value using only $50B. Easy nation-level attack

6

u/Kavinsky303 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 29 '25

It’s not just about throwing $50B at some mining rigs. You also need insane energy, infrastructure, and supply chains. Good luck hiding that.

Miners have huge skin in the game and won’t just roll over. As Bitcoin’s price grows, difficulty ramps up and security gets stronger.

And all that ‘Bitcoin’s gonna use half the planet’s power’ talk is overblown. Basically, a 51% attack is way harder and more expensive than people think. It’s not just a simple ratio of network value to hardware cost.

7

u/HSuke 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 29 '25

Strongly disagree. China can single handedly do it in 5-10 years. They have more chip fabs than the rest of the world.

Energy cost for a 2 day attack is under $10M. Energy cost to protect for 10 years is 7000x the cost to attack.

And attacks are intrinsically profitable due to selfish mining efficiency.

It would do absolutely nothing to the price because it would be sold OTC at or close to whatever the current market value is. Or the actual Bitcoin would be used to pay off the debt (instead of sending a trillion USD to whoever we owe money to, we give them a trillion worth of BTC).

1

u/jsands7 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 29 '25

That is not how markets work and that is not how the laws of supply and demand work:

“The law of supply and demand states that in a market, the price of a good or service will adjust based on the relationship between how much of it is available (supply) and how much people want to buy it (demand); when demand is high and supply is low, prices tend to rise, while when supply is high and demand is low, prices fall.@

1

u/kdoughboy12 🟦 1K / 1K 🐢 Jan 29 '25

Actually it's exactly how the markets work when it comes to huge buys and sells. They are done OTC (over the counter) and do not have any immediate impact on the price that is being traded on exchanges. If you want to buy $100 million worth of Bitcoin you do not go to the order book on an exchange, you go to an OTC platform and buy it in either one or multiple large sums close to market price. It is changing hands but it is not filling any sell orders on the exchange or immediately impacting the price or supply in any way.

1

u/jsands7 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 29 '25

To sell the amount of bitcoin being proposed to pay down the government debt, they would have to go to the retail lit market and start filling as many orders as possible over and over and over

No one person/entity is going to want to or be able to buy trillions of dollars of bitcoin at once

1

u/kdoughboy12 🟦 1K / 1K 🐢 Jan 29 '25

I highly doubt the government would be allowed to dump any asset on the retail markets like that. There's no way the sec would let that happen. Also there is no way that the government would sell all of its Bitcoin at once if it had trillions worth. It would likely hold most of it indefinitely and sell some of it slowly over time.

Ok, but that math is in a world where btc is the only strategic reserve and the only crypto in that reserve, the lady said “btc as ONE of our strategic reserves”, we have others, there would of course still be other strategic reserves, other crypto, gold, oil etc. If you divide the total value of strategic reserves by the debt, then you would track a whole lot closer to a potential btc value.

So they are even betting on the dollar to devalue with the price of Bitcoin costing more for less rewards per halving.

How crazy. The government saying the ships broken. And will not fix the dollar.

That's not impossible. My current estimate says that the first time btc could cross 10 million is 2038.

That is probably about right with the halving.

That would imply BTC has a market cap of $360 Trillion in 2045…. for context, the entire global M2 money supply is currently $100 Trillion.

Power law says around $11.6 million per coin this time in 2045 and around $13.4 million per coin on 29th December 2045.

u/FarResearch7596 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 29 '25

Wouldn’t the debt raise in that time too.. let’s say 2 trillion a year? So that’s 36+40 trillion or 76 ish trillion in 2045. Minus 18 trillion for the coins, looking at about 58 trillion in debt? This math right?

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '25

Debt is only going to go up.

u/Acrobatic_Hat_4865 🟩 31 / 31 🦐 Jan 29 '25

Guess what will happen if they all pay off their debts at the same time...

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '25

BTC to zero, and we get to start again! You can't pay off 18 trillion to anyone with anything.

u/f-Z3R0x1x1x1 🟦 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 29 '25

how did you arrive at the cost of BTC?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '25

They can pay off half the national debt. Half is 18 trillion. Buying BTC over 5 years will be 1 million coins.

18 trillion USD divided by 1 million coins is 18 million USD per coin.

BTC will never get there I'm sure, maybe if inflation makes a can of coke 2000 USD....

I mean even if btc would reach that value, the debt would be halved only theoretically cuz if they would try selling to settle the debt then btc would just crash

u/Franklin_le_Tanklin 🟩 0 / 0 🦠 Jan 29 '25

What happens if the line goes down instead of up… as it’s known to do from time to time?

1

u/ecnecn 🟩 20 / 21 🦐 Jan 29 '25

So they sell in 20 years.... time to short bitcoin in 19 years and 11 months...
