Dual Staking: A Game-Changer for Bitcoin Holders The crypto world is buzzing about Dual Staking, a revolutionary new strategy offered by Core. 🔍 How it Works: Instead of simply staking Bitcoin for a modest return (around 1%), users can now significantly boost their yields by staking both Bitcoin and Core's native token, $CORE. To maximize rewards, users need a substantial amount of $CORE alongside their Bitcoin – think 8,000 $CORE for every Bitcoin staked. 🐋 Why Whales Are Rushing In: This high $CORE requirement is creating explosive demand for the token. As whales and institutions with vast Bitcoin holdings seek to maximize their staking rewards, the need for $CORE skyrockets. This surging demand is directly impacting $CORE's scarcity, driving its value higher. 💰 More Than Just Rewards: Dual Staking isn't just about maximizing profits. It also strengthens the security and decentralization of the Core network by encouraging broader participation. 🏦 Institutional Adoption: Major players like BitGo, Hashnote Labs, and Cactus Custody are recognizing the immense potential of Dual Staking. These institutions are actively integrating solutions to support BTC + $CORE staking for their high-net-worth clients. ValourInc, an early adopter of Core's non-custodial staking, has been earning impressive yields. By integrating Dual Staking, they're demonstrating a blueprint for success that others are eager to replicate. 👉 Dual Staking is not just a new feature, it's a paradigm shift for Bitcoin holders. It offers a compelling combination of high yields, enhanced security, and full control over your assets. The time to act is now, as the window to capitalize on this opportunity before the $CORE supply truly tightens may be closing soon.

Bitcoin Distribution Pie Chart Analysis (Compressed Version) The pie chart depicts Bitcoin’s 21 million BTC supply distribution as of late 2024. Data sources include Binance Square and financial reports. It categorizes ownership into eight segments. Below is a concise breakdown, with percentages, absolute BTC (calculated as % × 21M), explanations, and implications. Percentages sum to 100%. Effective circulating supply: ~75.8% (~15.9M BTC), excluding lost and unminted. Key Categories (Descending Order) 1Individuals: 57% (~11.97M BTC) Retail holders in personal wallets. Implies decentralization but whale risks. Calc: 0.57 × 21M = 11.97M. 2BTC Lost: 17.6% (~3.7M BTC) Inaccessible due to lost keys or errors. Boosts scarcity; stresses key security. Calc: 0.176 × 21M = 3.7M. 3Not Yet Mined: 6.6% (~1.39M BTC) Remaining unissued rewards, mined gradually until ~2140. Ensures predictable supply. Calc: 0.066 × 21M = 1.39M. 4Satoshi’s Wallet: 5.2% (~1.09M BTC) Dormant coins of Bitcoin’s creator. Adds mystery; potential volatility if moved. Calc: 0.052 × 21M = 1.09M. 5ETFs: 3.9% (~0.82M BTC) Spot ETFs like BlackRock’s. Enables mainstream access; centralization concerns. Calc: 0.039 × 21M = 0.82M. 6Companies: 3.6% (~0.76M BTC) Corporate treasuries (e.g., MicroStrategy). Validates as hedge; ties to business cycles. Calc: 0.036 × 21M = 0.76M. 7Miners: 3.4% (~0.71M BTC) Held by mining firms. Supports network; sales impact supply. Calc: 0.034 × 21M = 0.71M. 8Governments: 2.7% (~0.57M BTC) Seized assets (e.g., U.S. from busts). Adds legitimacy; regulatory risks. Calc: 0.027 × 21M = 0.57M. Implications •Decentralization: Individuals dominate (57%), but institutions (~13.6%) grow, risking centralization. •Scarcity: ~24.2% out of play drives value. •Trends: Captures 2024 institutional surge post-ETF approvals. •Data Notes: Based on on-chain estimates; lost/Satoshi figures approximate. July 2025 Updates Chart from 2024; shifts include: •Unmined: ~5.3% (~1.11M BTC). •Lost: 11-18% (2.3-3.7M). •Satoshi: ~5.2% (~1.1M). •ETFs: ~6.2% (~1.3M, $158B). •Companies: ~4.1% (~0.86M); MicroStrategy leads (0.6M). •Miners: ~0.5% public (~0.11M), total higher. •Governments: ~2.2% (~0.46M); U.S. ~0.2M. •Individuals: ~52-53%.

I’m selling my rental properties for Bitcoin. I have an accepted offer on one and expect to close in two weeks. Another is currently listed for sale. I started buying rental properties in 2018, believing they were my best path to financial freedom. But in 2019-2020, I discovered Bitcoin. Over time, my conviction in Bitcoin’s asymmetric upside has only grown. Now, I see more potential in a portfolio of Bitcoin and Bitcoin-related assets than in holding rental properties. So, I’m making the move. I will have another 4 units to offload after this, but the writing is on the wall.
