** The Biggest Attack on You That You’ve Never Heard Of **
Most people have never heard of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Yet a small group of central bankers and financial regulators headquartered out of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in Basel, Switzerland, effectively decides what assets banks around the world are encouraged—or discouraged—from holding.
And when it comes to Bitcoin, their message is clear.
The Basel Committee assigned Bitcoin a 1250% risk weighting, one of the harshest regulatory treatments of any major asset. In practical terms, this makes it extremely punitive for banks to hold Bitcoin on their balance sheets and it also results in pressure on credit rating agencies to completely disregard $BTC as having any value on a company’s balance sheet. For example, @Strategy has over $60 Billion worth of $BTC on its balance sheet and credit agencies currently value it at $0.00. That’s right, zero.
Think about all of this for a moment.
The same banking system that was tangled up in and received major taxpayer funded bailouts for:
• The 2008 mortgage crisis
• Massive losses on government bonds
• Ongoing commercial real estate stress
…has decided that Bitcoin deserves some of the most punitive capital treatment imaginable.
Why? Well, because…
Bitcoin doesn’t need a bank.
Bitcoin doesn’t need a central issuer.
Bitcoin doesn’t need permission.
Bitcoin allows ordinary people around the world to save in an asset that cannot be debased, diluted, or confiscated through inflation. It is borderless, fixed-supply, digital money transacts over the world’s largest open-source computing network.
The Basel rules deliberately favour a financial system where wealth remains concentrated inside banking institutions and where individuals like you and me are forced to rely on intermediaries whose incentives are counter to own and profit at our expense.
Bitcoin changes that equation.
This is why understanding Bitcoin isn’t just about price.
It’s about understanding who writes the rules, who benefits from those rules, and why an open monetary network is viewed as such a threat to the existing system.
The greatest financial innovation of our lifetime — Bitcoin — isn’t being ignored. It’s being regulated as if it must never be allowed to compete on equal footing.
You can “say no” to this rigged system and join hundreds of millions of others around the world in taking back power. Buy and hold Bitcoin in self custody, taking it off of exchanges.
