Bessent: “I Am the House Now” | Could Bitcoin Hit $840K as Trust in the System Breaks?
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dared traders to bet against the yen, calling himself "the house" with "asymmetric information" on Japanese policy. That's tied to a real currency carry trade that could unwind fast, and when leveraged trades unwind, Bitcoin can get sold right along with everything else. Story two is Metaplanet, where a shareholder's essay on a ballooning executive option pool raises real questions about who benefits when a Bitcoin treasury company issues more shares, even as the company defends its numbers. Story three is the Liquid Network hack, where a software bug let attackers mint fake backed Bitcoin and walk away with real coin, a reminder that a sidechain's security assumptions aren't the same as Bitcoin's. Three different stories, same lesson: know exactly what you own. Then, the case for why Bitcoin matters at all, and a full breakdown of the assumptions behind River's $840,000 model.SPONSORS:
