So our couple weeks old baby had to go to hospital because he stopped breathing for a while. After checks all seemed to be ok, most likely there was some blocking through reflux. After spending a night and day in the hospital all is fine. Had to cancel a lot of important meetings and now catching up from 4AM in the morning.

When you are sitting quietly in a hospital there is some time to reflect on bitcoin too. So I posted the following on X. And I believe most people on this platform are already aware, but I’ll put it here anyway.

“It’s the first time ever to ask Grok to help out with a post. Apparently engagement would 10x when using a hashtag crypto in the post. The interesting thing about the adversity to proof of work itself by the majority of the crypto community is starting to fade. The #bitaxe 🧵

movement has opened the eyes of thousands of crypto lovers into the arms of bitcoin. Being a part of the revolution physically and joining the largest lottery on planet earth in the largest physical computer network ever built by humanity is interesting in and of itself. We

should however make it more clear how important it is that we actually decentralize hash and gain more sovereignty over the block templates. The risk of capture as what is currently again being seen with F2Pool is a major risk for bitcoin fungibility. The open source mining ⛏️

initiative is capable of getting a major part of the network back in the hands of the freedom lovers. I believe that’s a step that we will have to take. We are already rapidly moving through the phases in @evoskuil “cryptoeconomics” and apparently most bitcoiners are still not

aware of the importance of this simple overview. If you truly believe bitcoin is freedom money, the majority of hash will have to be held by freedom lovers.”
