“Bitcoin has held up better than I would’ve expected.” — Luke Gromen
After calling for lower prices in December, Gromen is updating his view on Bitcoin since the Iran conflict began.
He expected more damage.
Instead, Bitcoin got bid in a major geopolitical stress event.
That says a lot.

If Bitcoin is generational wealth, families need generational infrastructure.
Swan Generations is in limited preview right now, but you sign up for priority access and learn more here 👇
www.swanbitcoin.com/generations?...
Bitcoin in Swan Generations is held with a qualified custodian under U.S. regulatory standards and Swan’s security framework.
Clients also receive Swan Premium or Swan Private support, including U.S.-based phone access.
Families can build together.
Parents, grandparents, and others can contribute gifts into the same Generations wallet, creating a coordinated way to pass down Bitcoin on a sound ownership foundation.
Multiple contributors.
One long-term mission.
It also supports serious long-term family planning.
Gifts retain their original cost basis, which may create tax optimization opportunities when coordinated with professional advisors.
That makes Generations more than a gifting tool.
It's part of a broader inheritance strategy.
Because passing down wealth without passing down understanding is fragile.
Swan Generations is designed so the next generation does not just receive Bitcoin.
They receive time, context, and education around why it matters.
Swan Generations also builds in something most inheritance structures ignore:
education.
With a Flexible Ascension Age of 18 to 25, families have time to pair Bitcoin inheritance with books, courses, and private sessions so responsibility can grow with the asset.
That also means administration is not the same as ownership.
A parent or designated administrator can manage the wallet, but only in the child’s interest until control formally transfers.
Control is temporary.
Ownership is not.
That is the foundation:
Ownership over exposure.
When a gift is made through Swan Generations, the child becomes the legal owner and the gift is irrevocable.
It cannot be reversed, reclaimed, or quietly taken back later.

Most inheritance plans transfer assets.
Swan Generations is built to transfer actual Bitcoin ownership to the next generation.
Not exposure.
Not a promise.
Not an IOU.
Real Bitcoin, owned by the child from the moment it is gifted.
"The dollar won’t stay at the center of everything forever.” – Lyn Alden
From a dollar-centered world
to a more multipolar one built around neutral reserve assets.
In a more fractured world, capital looks for neutrality, liquidity, and trust.
Gold has that today.
Bitcoin may be next.

War doesn’t just move armies. It reprices oil, risk, and trust.

“Bitcoin is actually money. It might trade like a tech stock, but it’s money.” – Parker Lewis
That’s the unlock.
As Bitcoin grows, more wallets, custody, payments, and infrastructure emerge around it.
Adoption doesn’t centralize Bitcoin.
It deepens decentralization.

“They’re 261,000 Bitcoin away from hitting a million Bitcoin.” – Jeff Walton
There are only 1 million BTC left to be mined.
Strategy already has 738,000.

“Bitcoin can go in a two, three year bull while the central bank balance sheet is going down.” – Matthew Mezinskis
Yes, money printing matters over the long run.
But in the short to mid term, Bitcoin does its own thing.
That’s what makes this asset so hard to model

When the Iran airstrikes hit on February 28, Bitcoin sold off immediately while traditional markets were still asleep.
Then it rebounded.
24/7 liquidity means Bitcoin prices fear, panic, and uncertainty before almost anything else. 👇
“Political polarization grows when you have fiscal dominance.” – Lyn Alden
When a system keeps rewarding asset owners while everyone else falls behind, unrest stops being surprising.
This one gets to the root of why society feels so unstable right now.

“Morgan Stanley launching its own Bitcoin ETF is hugely bullish.” – John Haar
Two years after others brought spot Bitcoin ETFs to market, Morgan Stanley wants its own.
This is not about beating BlackRock.
It is about preparing for a world where Bitcoin becomes a permanent portfolio allocation. 👇
“War doesn’t just change borders. It changes money itself.”
Before WWI, currencies were tied to gold.
Then war exposed the real cost of empire, and governments started rewriting the monetary rules in real time.
This is where the modern inflation story begins. 👇
“Bitcoin is the leading protocol for value.” – Lyn Alden
That’s the real thesis.
A decentralized ledger for liquid, portable, self-custodial capital and permissionless payments should not stay at 0.2% of global assets forever.

Bitcoin’s supply story just entered a new phase.
20 million mined.
1 million left.
114 years to go.
What gets rarer from here is not just Bitcoin.
It’s cheap Bitcoin.
Act accordingly.
Michael Saylor and Strategy just bought 17,994 BTC.
That equals 571% of last week’s new Bitcoin supply.
Miners produced 3,150 BTC.
Strategy absorbed nearly 6x that.
Tick tock.
“There is no way a cryptographically relevant quantum computer will happen in the next 10 years.” – Brandon Black
Too many logical qubits.

Banks can stall bills. Buy time. Bully regulators.
They can't un-invent the exit.
The castle doesn't get stormed. The castle installs Bitcoin, because the spreadsheets demand it.
Parker Lewis nailed it.
Every nation printing. Every currency weaponizable. The only answer is neutral money.
Not gold (confiscated every time it worked).
Not stablecoins or CBDCs (digital versions of broken trust).
Bitcoin. No nation controls it.
This is "then they fight you" in its final act.
Banks fight Bitcoin in public while the infrastructure absorbs it in private.
Lobby against the Clarity Act with one hand. Build Bitcoin products with the other.
