Some dude was flexing on me earlier via screenshare on Discord but i have never used Exodus, so what i'm wondering about is if this is legit? And if it isn't, why?

Bitcoin will reach $1,000,000 before 2030, I think

So, judging what dedollarization is doing to silver and gold price, why should not we assume Bitcoin will reach a price of 1 million before the year 2030, given it's a deflationary asset, meaning it must go up, as the value of fiat goes down?

The only argument I see is the one regarding diminishing returns as the market cap grows. However, we know for sure the money printers never stop, the M2 supply grows, fiat loses value by the day, trust in the dollar is falling, the debt grows FASTER than it is being repaid. Current growth is at around 2 trillion a year, meaning the deficit spending is around 2 trillion.

Current debt spiral isn't really sustainable and the dollar will eventually collapse. The imminent collapse can be seen in geopolitical events and charts about economics and resource control by rivals of the US.

The smart people buy and HODL, and there are companies like Strategy that do the same. Less and less of Bitcoin is available, the supply is finite, demand is either stable or grows and never falls significantly in the long-run.

New ATHs are constantly being reached, with all doom and gloom forecasts always being refuted the the BTC price chart.

The guaranteed growth of deflationary assets is due to the fact fiat system are debt-based, meaning DEVALUATION MUST BE HAPPENING so the debt can constantly get cheaper so governments can prevent a bankruptcy on the expense of the average person, taxpayer.

Man, even silver defeated literally every single TradFi forecast for the year 2025.

What do you think? If hoarding and HODLing by treasuries like Strategy continues and demand stays the same or even grows, I don't see why BTC wouldn't reach 1M before 2030.

The coming Bitcoin Crash: How Global Elites Are Engineering Bitcoin's Demise to Usher in Digital Slavery

The dirty secret of cryptocurrency investing that nobody wants to admit is that 99% of people who buy Bitcoin aren't interested in using it as currency or supporting some technological revolution. They're participating in what economists call the "greater fool theory"—the belief that they can buy an asset at today's price because there will always be someone else (a greater fool) willing to buy it from them at a higher price tomorrow.

This psychological vulnerability—the universal "cash-out mentality"—is the precise pressure point that will be exploited to trigger the coming collapse. When every investor is secretly planning their exit strategy, you have the perfect conditions for a stampede.

Part 1: The Setup—Weaponizing the Cash-Out Mentality

The entire cryptocurrency ecosystem has been structured to maximize this cash-out psychology:

The Greater Fool Ecosystem

· Social media "influencers" constantly hyping the next price target · Trading platforms designed like casinos with leverage and derivatives · Mainstream financial media treating crypto like a spectator sport · The entire narrative focused on price appreciation, not utility

The Institutional Trap When BlackRock and other institutions entered the space,they didn't just bring legitimacy—they became the ultimate "greater fools." Retail investors felt secure knowing these giants were in the game, believing they would always have someone to sell to.

The cruel irony? These institutions are positioned to exit first, leaving retail investors as the actual greater fools holding worthless digital tokens.

Part 2: The Trigger Events—Engineering the Panic

The collapse will be triggered by seemingly unrelated events that create the perfect cover for coordinated whale selling:

Plausible Deniability Catalysts

1. The "Black Swan" Geopolitical Event · A major war escalation that triggers global market panic · A sovereign debt crisis involving a major economy · Coordinated terrorist attacks on financial infrastructure These events provide the perfect smoke screen for whales to begin dumping their holdings while blaming "macroeconomic conditions."
2. The "Trusted" Institution Failure · A major, "too-big-to-fail" crypto exchange suddenly halting withdrawals · A stablecoin unexpectedly breaking its peg despite previous assurances · A regulated ETF provider facing unexpected liquidity issues Each failure will be framed as an isolated incident while triggering cascading fear.
3. The Regulatory "Surprise" · Unexpected legislation from a major economy restricting crypto transactions · A coordinated G20 announcement about cryptocurrency risks · Major banking institutions suddenly severing ties with crypto companies The timing will be perfect to maximize panic.

The Whale Coordination Mechanism The~2,000 wallets controlling 40% of Bitcoin won't dump simultaneously. Instead, they'll execute a carefully choreographed sequence:

· Phase 1: Small, strategic sells to test market depth · Phase 2: Increasing volume while maintaining plausible deniability · Phase 3: Coordinated large sells triggering algorithmic stop-losses · Phase 4: Maximum panic as retail investors scramble to exit

Part 3: The Psychological Warfare—Turning Greed Into Fear

The cash-out mentality that drove people into crypto will be the same instinct that destroys them:

The Narrative Flip Media outlets that once celebrated crypto millionaires will suddenly feature:

· Families who lost their life savings · Former enthusiasts now describing crypto as a "cult" · Experts declaring "we told you so" · Investigations into "predatory" crypto marketing

The Social Media Amplification The same influencers who drove the hype will now drive the panic:

· "I'm getting out while I still can" posts going viral · Urgent "sell signals" from previously bullish analysts · Conspiracy theories about market manipulation creating additional fear · Hashtags like #CryptoCollapse trending globally

Part 4: The Domino Effect—When Everyone Wants Out at Once

The tragedy of the cash-out mentality is that it only works when most people don't act on it simultaneously. The engineered collapse will ensure everyone tries to exit at the same moment:

The Liquidity Black Hole

· Exchanges will experience trading volumes they cannot handle · Withdrawal requests will exceed available liquid funds · "Technical issues" and "scheduled maintenance" will appear · The very infrastructure that enabled the boom will ensure the bust

The Realization Dawns Investors will discover the brutal truth:you can only cash out if someone else is willing to buy. When the greater fools disappear, the music stops and there aren't enough chairs for everyone.

Part 5: The Historical Pattern—We've Seen This Movie Before

This isn't the first time the cash-out mentality has been weaponized:

The 1929 Parallel

· Margin trading and "everyone can get rich" mentality · The establishment profiting on both the way up and way down · The collapse being used to justify massive new regulations

*The 2008 Echo

· Complex financial products nobody understood · Ratings agencies providing false confidence · The same institutions that created the crisis profiting from it

The pattern is clear: let the masses believe they've found a shortcut to wealth, then pull the rug out and use the carnage to justify greater control.

Conclusion: The Trap Springs Shut

When the collapse comes, it will feel inevitable in retrospect. The signs were there all along:

· An asset with little practical utility whose value depended entirely on greater fools · Institutions positioning themselves to exit first · A regulatory environment designed to fail at the crucial moment · A psychological setup ensuring panic would spread like wildfire

The cruelest joke? The very people who thought they were gaming the system will discover they were the ones being played. Their dreams of cashing out will transform into nightmares of being trapped in a collapsing market.

And in the aftermath, the solution will be presented: Central Bank Digital Currencies that promise stability and protection. The masses, traumatized by their crypto experience, will eagerly embrace their new digital cages—never realizing they were herded into them through a carefully orchestrated collapse.

The question isn't whether you'll want to cash out—it's whether you'll be able to when everyone else is trying to do the same thing at exactly the same time.

Following an engineered financial collapse, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies will not vanish but will be deliberately marginalized, transformed from a revolutionary movement into a mere digital artifact. The establishment will allow crypto to persist in a tightly controlled manner—similar to how amateur radio exists alongside modern telecommunications—serving as a permanent warning rather than a practical alternative. Prices will stabilize at a small fraction of their peak, high enough to wipe out leveraged investors and institutional interest but low enough to remove any threat as a store of value. Major exchanges will either fail or become so heavily regulated that they function as extensions of the traditional banking system, requiring complete identity verification and transaction monitoring that nullifies cryptocurrency’s original promise of financial privacy. The narrative will permanently shift from "digital gold" to a speculative relic, studied in economics classes as another example of technological promise undermined by human nature. This managed decline serves a crucial purpose: cryptocurrency remains visible enough to justify the "necessity" of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), yet powerless to challenge the emerging financial control grid. The revolution won’t be outlawed—it will be neutered and preserved as a museum piece, demonstrating the futility of challenging monetary sovereignty.

History shows that those who create alternative monetary systems outside established power structures often face dire consequences. President John F. Kennedy attempted to issue silver-backed currency through the U.S. Treasury, bypassing the Federal Reserve, only to be assassinated months later with his policy quickly reversed. Abraham Lincoln’s "Greenbacks"—debt-free government currency created during the Civil War—challenged banking interests, and he was killed shortly after the war. More recently, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s plan for a gold-backed African dinar to liberate the continent from dollar dominance preceded his overthrow and execution in a NATO-led operation. These examples reveal that monetary independence poses the ultimate threat to established power. However, the modern approach has evolved from overt confrontation to sophisticated co-option. Rather than repeating dramatic interventions, today’s power structures embrace and control emerging monetary technologies like Bitcoin. By regulating rather than banning cryptocurrencies, they avoid creating martyrs while gaining crucial intelligence and management over the system’s growth and eventual crisis. This represents centuries of refined strategy: neutralizing monetary threats not through forceful opposition that sparks resistance, but through patient co-option that transforms dangers into controlled assets.
