Bitcoin has been consolidating for several weeks, but considering the potential policy changes in the US in 2026, this moment might be worth reconsidering. Imagine this scenario: staking 1 Bitcoin with a bank to obtain USD liquidity equivalent to 1.02 Bitcoins. In this process, the Bitcoin held by the bank can gradually become a new type of central bank reserve asset.

When Bitcoin becomes a reserve foundation, stablecoins no longer need to be fully pegged to physical gold but can directly reference this digital asset. What does this mean? A more efficient, more transparent monetary system. The scarcity of physical gold does not exist on a cosmic scale—the metal reserves on asteroids far exceed what Earth can imagine. And Bitcoin’s cap of 21 million coins is the truly limited, verifiable store of value.

From this perspective, the consolidation period might be the perfect time to accumulate.

Hodling is just waiting for that moment, those who understand, understand. Really? Banks are starting to hold Bitcoin reserves? I need to think about this logic again. The scarcity of 21 million coins is indeed unmatched; gold can't compare at all. Accumulating? I'm currently in the process of accumulating... By the way, is 2026 still far away? It feels like this game will last a long time. Staking for liquidity, this move is played smoothly by capital. A universe-level gold reserve haha, directly pouring Earth's gold into it. This sideways movement feels a bit different, is it really powering up? Central bank-level Bitcoin reserves, just thinking about it is exciting. Even if there’s more gold on asteroids, it still needs to be mined; Bitcoin is different. This idea is brilliant, directly deconstructing the entire financial system. It still depends on how the US side acts; the trend determines everything.

honestly the "bitcoin as cbdc reserve" narrative is getting there... but let's be real, the leap from staking mechanics to actual fed policy adoption is basically a proof-of-wishful-thinking at this point. the math on 2100M supply cap checks out though, that's the cryptographic guarantee actually worth discussing. rest feels like we're frontrunning regulatory reality a bit too hard ngl

Sideways consolidation for big moves, the policy dividends in 2026 are really worth looking forward to This logic is brilliant, even better than gold with its 21 million cap compared to Bitcoin Banks act as market makers, BTC as reserves, stablecoins directly pegged... interesting The accumulation phase is when fewer people are buying but the most committed, place your bets everyone The asteroid gold analogy is perfect; compared to that, BTC is truly a scarce asset But on the other hand, can this scenario really be realized? Or is it just another beautiful illusion... Pledging BTC to borrow USD liquidity? Feels a bit too idealistic, huh 2026 is still early, should I buy now or wait? So conflicted...

Consolidation is just a shakeout. Buying at low prices now means making a profit.

Consolidation is better described as brewing; the policy window in 2026 is indeed worth paying attention to. Bitcoin as a reserve? Sounds crazy but not that far-fetched... much more verifiable than gold. Staking for yields + policy expectations, a dual profit logic that might really work out. Asteroids mining for gold haha, then gold will never become the ultimate anchor point. That perspective is indeed brilliant. If you stockpile now, waiting until 2026? Seems like there's still a chance.

Wait, can bank pledging of Bitcoin really happen? It feels like another story that sounds too good to be true.
