Bitcoin is superior to gold in fractionalization. You can trade satoshis (1/100 millionth of a Bitcoin) and actually buy things with them but you can’t do that with gold. You can’t carry around micrograms and use them to make purchases.

The Craziest Way I"ve Ever Heard to Store a Seed Phrase.
My cousin is an independent tow truck operator. There is a long chain on the truck coiled up in the back.
He notched the dotmap of his seed phrase into this chain. Little notches he made with a hacksaw which have since rusted over. He told me he sees his seed phrase rolling by everytime he loads or unloads a car and finds it very reassuring.
I asked what about a backup? He told me that the chain he replaced the year before also had the notches on them. It is currently in his garage lying in a corner among a lot of other chains and greasy tools.
The only flaw in his tactic that I could see was that he told me about it. I guess he felt safe since I was a relative and had a lot more bitcoin than he has. I found it more secure than words stamped into washers in clear, thats for sure. If someone stole his truck they wouldnt give scratches on a long rusty chain a second thought.
Anyway, wild idea. To be honest i found it very creative.

The real “point of no return” for Bitcoin isn’t $1M…It’s when 1 BTC = the average US home.
Everyone always points to how many bitcoins a house used to cost vs how many it costs now. You see the memes “In 2012 a house was 50 BTC, in 2025 it’s 3 BTC,” etc.
But I don’t think people are actually placing enough weight on the real economic checkpoint coming:
When 1 bitcoin equals the average price of a US home.
Not “Bitcoin at $100k.”
Not “Bitcoin at $500k.”
I mean the exact moment 1 BTC trades for the median American home price (currently around ~$430k–$500k depending on the index).
That crossover is a civilization-level event. For both asset classes. And for the economy as a whole.
At that point:
Bitcoin isn’t being compared to real estate… it has become real estate.
Financial advisors, pensions, governments are forced to care, not debate.
Talent, capital, regulation, and geopolitical power tilt instantly and irreversibly.
Liquidity rotation begins: not “crypto bros buying houses,” but houses being sold for Bitcoin.
It becomes impossible to dismiss because Bitcoin has become the unit sitting opposite the biggest asset class in America.
Everyone calls Bitcoin “digital real estate”… but nobody is talking about the moment the exchange rate makes that phrase literal.
That is the next tectonic shift. That is the point of no return

Something Big Could Be Coming
Coinbase is going into maintenance for 4 hours tomorrow, while Gemini and Uphold will be down for 4 hours on Sunday. All major U.S. exchanges are scheduled for maintenance this weekend ,it looks like some new regulation or major changes are coming, but it’s hard to tell exactly what yet.
