I'm ok with this. Even if BTC crashes and goes back down to $30,000 or whatever, never to rise again (it will), $10 million is peanuts for the state in the long term.

Plus, if and when it goes back up that only helps the taxpayers. Maybe the PUC can get some of that bitcoin largesse.

This is a big deal. A major state is now validating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.

If it is held for at least four years, this will be a good move.

$10 MM is not that much money per Texas investment, less than a deep oil well completion cost.

All over X about how great of investment BTC is. When the Trump boys are seen pushing people to buy "make believe money" you know it is in trouble.

How many idiots purchased Trump coin for $72 when he got elected, what is it now, $4.00?

I'd like to know how many people who couldn't afford to lose anywhere near that amount there are, and how this affected their daily lives.

Hopefully it's not too many.

Bytecoin is worth 8 times as much as Bitcoin.

Back up above $90k this week. Already looking to be a good move.

$10 billion for a speculative currency?
Why not actual strategic minerals?

10 billion?!?! Did you even read the OP? only off by $9,990,000,000...

worst part about this is we are investing via blackrock

Doh! I should never post before having my morning coffee.

Why not Trump coin?

Maybe diversify with some Melania coin.

Let's see...its value is listed in DOLLARS. You sell it to get DOLLARS. You buy it with DOLLARS. If you want to use it for anything, you have to change it into DOLLARS. When you're finished with your currency speculation games, you end up with DOLLARS.

I buy it with dollars and hold it. My BTC is worth more than the dollars I bought them with as opposed to my dollars which lose value every day. I do not use it for anything as I treat it as a store of value. If I sell, it's treated like a stock.

Therefore, it's not fiat currency for me.

Except way more ROI than baseball cards...if you decide to cash out USD.

At this point pretty much all retail investing is divorced from actual business fundamentals and is no more than speculation.

So if crypto is your preferred casino, go for it

Sid Farkas and TexasRebel have missed incredible gains on BTC so far, 1000x+ at least for TexasRebel in particular. Admire them for digging in and pretending they're not mad about it

Right. You've been recommending that we invest in ammo since one BTC was about $5k

Since some yokel paid $5,000 for a bitcoin. They're always worthless.
