There was an article released on LinkedIn today regarding the health of the vExpert program. As the program manager I want to ensure you that the article is false. Broadcom has not reduced investment in the vExpert program. The vExpert program offers a lot of value to the ecosystem and will continue to move forward as always.

BTC at $5M Redefining Money and Power: 🔹 #BTC emerges as a beacon amidst most global dilemmas. Governments and politicians have long wielded fiat currency as a tool, often at the expense of common citizens and those that save. 🔹 Money, at its core, is an information tool. Imagine using a tape measure that's constantly stretching - it loses its essence, breeding inconsistencies and inaccuracies. 🔹 Bitcoin offers consistency, transparency, and resistance to arbitrary manipulation. It's more than just digital gold; it's a hope for a brighter and fairer Humanity. 🌍💡 #BitcoinRevolution -- Todays Market Musings: 🔹 The financial markets feel peaked. Unemployment/Disability on the rise, Hiring freezes, 400+% increase in mortgage rates, looming commercial real estate rate resets, historically high S&P500 earnings multiples, and concerns about the dollars reserve currency status, especially with new gold-backed BRICS, all seem to point to a top. Recession is imminent. 🔹 AI's rise plays a significant role; without it, we might have already seen the downturn. But where will the capital go when equities sell? Short-term treasuries for a quick market reset, perhaps? #BTCEnters BTC's Ascension Base Case: 2022: $17,000 2026: $37,660 2030: $83,431 2034: $184,827 2038: $409,455 How did I arrive at these numbers? Let's dive into Bitcoin dynamics: Its newly mined supply halves every 4 years, indirectly leading to a steady 19% YoY return (100% every 4 years). Add in 3% for fiat inflation, and you get a 22% compounded yearly. Public miners like Mara and Riot have stated they don’t usually sell their new BTC at a loss and based on their 10-Qs, it looks like 17k is their magic number for profitability. Why does this matter, well the sell pressure diminishes at or below these levels. I would also suggest a normalized floor price of $17k was established/reiterated during the FTX fallout in DEC 2022. 🔹 Based on #BTC's coded supply squeeze and publicly traded miners' financials, we have a fascinating worst-case scenario. 🔹 But remember, this is the ultimate conservative look; there's much more potential in store! #BTCPredictions Bitcoin’s True Potential (Hyper-Bitcoinization) 🔹 Bitcoin is unlikely to de-monetize assets like Gold, Stocks, or Real Estate. Their value will continue to inflate. But the beauty of Bitcoin? As it becomes more prominent, a higher percentage of new capital will flow into it, causing other assets to inflate at a slightly slower rate. Add in inherited wealth transfers as boomers die and Millennials invest into the future of money growing at a minimum 22% YoY.😉 🔹 In an inflationary system, slight shifts have vast implications. If Real Estate, valued globally at $350 Trillion, growing at 10% annually, sees just a 0.5% dip in growth, that’s $175 Billion redirected, potentially to assets like Bitcoin annually. The scarcity and finality of #BTC's supply only make it more enticing. So what is the true potential for BTC? What's the value of civilized humanity without govt corruption and war.. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
