Michael Saylor's average buy-in price is $30k. People have definitely been buying bitcoin after 2013. The issue is that these trusts and exchanges got greedy and started gambling with the money from their investors, so when they go insolvent and file for bankruptcy they have to sell off their remaining assets, which include crypto.

Why would Grayscale care about the discount/premium exactly? Theoretically as long as their BTC is locked up, then they can just hodl like every other baggie until number go up again. The GBTC price just reflects the market value of one share of the trust/BTC pile, which is suppressed by the fact that there are spot BTC ETFs available to buy outside the US (and BTC (((perpetuals))) ETFs available inside US, but not spot). The discount could be eliminated if the (((SEC))) allows GBTC to be converted to a spot ETF. If Grayscale is really lending out BTC, then for sure it's fucked and I really hope they weren't that stupid considering it's not really a "trust" if they're lending the shit out...

Technically, this post is correct. But in a pilpul way. You see, the "security concern" isn't about their reserves getting hacked, but rather a concern for the personal security of the devs who funneled all the money into their pockets from baggies' hate.

Thanks to our little banking goblin friend, the anti-crypto types (Bitfinexed, Bennett Tomlin, Frances Coppolla, Dirty Bubble Media, Marc Cohodes, that guy from The OC and his jewish journo friend) as well as a bunch of spectacularly thick BTC-only cultists have briefly been given a spotlight. So now they're going full tilt at all their old nemeses whilst they have a bit of attention. Obviously their dream is to replicate what CZ achieved with his FTX tweet and so turn FTX-Enron into a FTX-Lehman event that destroys crypto forever in the absence of any credible backstop. It wouldn't even work like that- you could burn every current crypto institution to the ground and have an equivalent back in time for the next halving- but that won't stop them from following their sisyphean categorical imperative anyway.

It's been fun watching them all go fucking mental the past two weeks, apparently sat on Twitter throwing mud 24/7 at everyone (Silvergate, GBTC, Gemini, Crypto.com, even fucking Coinbase and that Twitter shutdown bollocks) in the hopes that some mud will stick and they can do what CZ did to FTX. Ultimately though, not enough people care about what they have to say, normies have lost interest in their narrative already
