๐ค The ECB just dropped a wild claim: old Bitcoin holders are "exploiting" new ones, and they want strict price controlsโor even a banโon BTC! ๐ซ๐ฐ
Apparently, the European Central Bank thinks that early adopters, who bought low and sold high, are unfairly profiting. Sounds like, you know, how every financial market works. The ECB paper even suggests that rising Bitcoin prices will lead to social chaos. But waitโBitcoin is barely used for crime compared to cash, and isn't the real culprit here inflation-driven fiat? ๐ค
Meanwhile, they conveniently ignore that Satoshi Nakamoto had a plan all along, creating Bitcoin as a hedge against rapidly depreciating fiat. Maybe itโs not Bitcoin thatโs the problemโitโs the trillions in fiat debt hanging around! ๐ฆ๐ธ
Is the ECB just mad because they didnโt buy BTC back in 2009? ๐

๐ While Bitcoin keeps us excitedโhitting $69,000 and now briefly dipping to $68,500 (hopefully not for long)โrumors are buzzing on Twitter that Japanese cryptographer Akashi Satoh could be Satoshi Nakamoto.
๐ He was involved in the development of SHA-256, a key element in Bitcoinโs security, and interestingly, stopped publishing right after Bitcoinโs launch.
The name "Satoh" might also be a clue. Of course, these are just speculations, and weโll likely hear many more, especially after HBOโs recent "reveal" of Bitcoinโs mysterious creator. ๐คท
