I am just giving an opinion and a take I find interesting. I wonder if we could put a proposal for all $ATOM holders to take 1% of our inflation weather we are over the 67% bonded ratio or not, and even with future inflation proposals, and take said 1% and buy bitcoin to put in a treasury. I would like other people’s take on this. I fell it adds value by having a huge $BTC stack alone, why else would companies on Wall Street be doing this. No other currency in history has been added to company’s treasury/cash position besides bonds. I also know Polkadot is in consideration of doing something similar and adding bitcoin to there treasury. I bet having the first mover advantage of this would be a huge leap for $ATOM and bring lots of eyes to the cosmos. Bitcoin talks imo. And if the sec ever allows for proper marketing and better legislation we would have sats to sell to fund the ecosystem for future growth.
Bad idea. Makes no sense to dilute ATOM’s value to buy a different cryptocurrency. NWV if this ever came up. Polkadot had the same bad idea in their forum. We should be figuring out ways to buy more atom, not selling it. ICF already has millions in ETH and BTC. Let’s do the reverse and sell those to increase demand for OUR actual project.
Found that out today about the icf holding eth and BTC, it was it is, I really like the fact of ibc chains using the 20% revenue for buying $ATOM as a treasury holding. Unsure if they stake that $ATOM or just hold it in a vault wallet, But either way it makes less $ATOM out there on the market.
Most Cosmos chains have promoted themselves against ATOM in the last years from what I have seen. Criticizing and telling how far better they were (they were outperforming atom at the time and now they are underperforming 
). I doubt any of them never buy ATOM except Shade and Elys but it’s pretty recent.
Unfortunately I lost my X account , but I was keeping tweets from founders, Vals and devs dunking on ATOM all day long as engagement farming (Bera, Tia, Kuji, Terra.. even Stars or Archway lmao)
Instead of just printing more ATOM tokens, we should take 5% of that new supply and use it to buy a mix of real assets like Bitcoin, gold, silver, real estate, and commodities RWA basically building a diversified treasure chest that backs up our ecosystem. We start at 5% and gradually increase it over time as we learn what works, spreading our holdings sensibly across different assets so if one crashes, the others protect us. In the bear market that comes every few years we keep value. This gives ATOM holders real value underneath their tokens and makes the whole ecosystem more stable long term, while also attracting serious investors who want crypto exposure with traditional asset backing.
To add to this :-
The Math Works
If your treasury assets (BTC, gold, real estate) appreciate at 8-12% annually on average
But you’re only diluting ATOM supply by 5% for purchases
The backing value per ATOM token actually increases each year
A Compounding Effect
Year 1: 5% of new ATOM buys $X worth of assets
Year 5: 5% of new ATOM buys $X worth of assets, BUT the original assets have grown
so the treasury grows faster than the token supply, Value
“Instead of paying for the network security, let’s just sell the token to buy other things”
How does this make sense to anyone???
I reverse my previous position. Hub has abandoned any attempt to make ATOM useful. Might as well sell it for anything useful. ATOM is straight down in price and utility. Sell it for socks at this point.
I’m not saying sell anything, I’m saying use the new ATOM inflation (that’s being printed anyway) to buy a diversified basket of assets instead of just burning it or reducing staker rewards. This creates a transparent treasury that stabilizes ATOM during bear markets. Many projects already hold ETH/BTC behind the scenes . the difference is we’d make it completely transparent and use it to back ATOM’s value floor. Network security stays funded, stakers keep earning, but now there’s real asset backing underneath."
A printed atom may not sell, but you want to print it and then sell it, which would exert double selling pressure.
Mesh security could be a solution to diversify assets rewarded for stakers. Some solution in the past was proposed to decrease sell pressure during a bear market by @Noam
The only way we could buy BTC or other assets without creating too much sell pressure would be in a bull run, when price go up significally and there is strong buy pressure we could sell to USDC, then when BTC drops we buy some. But right now I don’t think selling would be good for $ATOM
“I’m not saying sell anything”
“I’m saying use the new ATOM inflation (that’s being printed anyway) to buy a diversified basket of assets”
That means you’re saying sell the ATOM lmao
A wise investor knows a strong asset stands on real strengths. ATOM’s money printer has been running hard but instead of printing it to death, part of the token should be backed by things that hold value when the market dives.
I don’t put all my money in one coin, I spread risk. If ATOM wants to be rock solid, it needs billions spread over many real assets to protect its value in bad times. That could be stablecoins earning interest, or something better.
Coins that inflate forever die. So don’t inflate. Build value. Back it with things that grow or pay. Make ATOM a real utility and a hard asset for the future.
Don’t just complain bring better ideas. Im also glad its walked away from Evm. But your probably going to say you dislike that too
