🚨 Czech Central Bank Head Wants it to Buy Billions of Euros of Bitcoin Michl said he will present the plan to the board on Thursday, and if approved, the bank could eventually hold as much as 5% of its 140 billion euro ($146.13 billion) reserves in Bitcoin.
The self absorption of these people is beyond belief. Why am I supposed to care that this Senator “was one of the first to learn that Stephen Colbert’s show has been cancelled” ??
This is also something that, perversely, could slow momentum for onchain securities (I refuse to say tokenized RWAs!). A truly integrated brokerage account (stocks/bonds next to crypto w/ leverage), undermines the desire to have tokenized shares (especially as liquidity for…
