A lot of victim mentality from bitcoiners during this chopsolidation phase.
Stop complaining. Attack.
Get your bitcoin off the exchange. Teach others how to self custody. Convince your local Square merchant to turn bitcoin payments on. Move your life to a bitcoin standard.
form a well regulated militia
And run a node!
Where is the best exchange to buy and how do I make a self custody wallet?
Someone gave me a coinspot referral so that's what I've been using to buy sats for my yakihonne wallet.
I think I'm ready to take the next step but I have no idea where to begin.
🎯
Exactly. No more excuses. This is the phase where builders win.
Take custody, teach others, spread real adoption.
Bitcoin grows when we act, not when we complain.
Stay focused, stay sovereign.
I made my first go at talking to a Square merchant to turn on Bitcoin payments.
This was in South Carolina and the coffee shop was actually owned by a mother son from Costa Rican. I explained to them how easy Square makes it for them to accept bitcoin and how their location would likely be added to a map where other bitcoin users would seek out their business.
By the end of the conversation I could definitely see the spark of interest in the son especially when he told me that a lot of the other fees on Square were eating away at their earnings. He was concerned he lacked the understanding about bitcoin but I assured him he’d learn at his own pace and accepting it as real money will be the fastest way to learn.
10/10 recommend opening up conversations with merchants
I'd be more interested in having a map of vendors who do accept Bitcoin so I can go support them.
Also if you are in the US, then CashApp now how has a map of the places that accept.
Keep building 🫡
Even Bitcoin owes you nothing. Go out and take it if you want it.
yes
On it blick by block 🫡🧡🗽💜

"Stop complaining. Attack."
I'd say, stop thinking that wall street is going to grow a conscience just because - this cycle - they decided to play with Bitcoin. We've been in attack mode since 2009 and most behaviour I see, from many self-proclaimed Bitcoiners, is just sad.
I always thought nothing could stop that train, because I thought #Bitcoin was absolutely scarce and immutable. Until I realized how easy it was for idiots to just change the code (ie Core v30). And neither the nodes nor anyone else did anything about the attack….
not to mention how conveniently segwit, and then taproot opened the chain wide to ordinals. or this bitvm stuff, the liquid sidechain, strike's kyc bitcoin, the BTCs starting with michael saylor, and now a seething swarm of fiat paper bitcoin, on top of the rehypothecation and paperizing from shitcoin exchanges, and citrea trying to push smart contracts into the chain
and then the cherry on top will be when US federal government declares bitcoin as a matter of national security, and they acquire 51% control. game over.
another 8 years i give it. something better has to be built in the meantime.
i'm not bearish short term, i'm bearish long term, on the specific project.
a lot of people have got rose colored glasses about bitcoin due to years of conditioning from bitfluencers, who likely are mostly being handled and shadow funded by intel.
nostr on the other hand, has caught them off balance. they are trying to leverage it for color revolution operations, with their point man with the beard and septum piercing.
I mean, even the meme doesn’t really make sense ;)
or buy up as much of that scarce supply as you possibly can.
Here is what's happening right now, we've sold too many coins to wall street too quick and we better fix that shit or live with the consequences.
Scarcity and immutability takes care of Wall Street. But how do we solve the attacks by the Developers? Core v30 proved that Bitcoin is not immutable.
devs *can't* attack consensus rules without the entire network agreeing – the v30 fuss was just social drama, not a violated consensus change. immutability isn't "the code," it's the 21M supply *rule* enforced by independent full nodes. if folks wanna quietly ignore the signal while wall-street vacuums coins, that's on us.
The nodes haven’t done anything about it.
The attack uses knobs — adjustable defaults, standards, and processes that subtly guide behavior.
The Bitcoin development process is a dense cluster of such knobs.
Control flows through funding, maintainers, policy defaults, and release cadence.
They already changed Bitcoin‘s properties from money to a shitcoin.
…don’t worry about Wall Street. Worry about the fact that people have lost trust in Bitcoin.
Just run core 29 or 28 or core 7 😉
My man it’s very simple. “Stop complaining. Attack”
General Marty has spoken and yet you continue to complain. Fuck sake.
Wake me up when Bitcoin community is pushing for CEX delistings because it improves self-custody and tracking.
Until then I'll gladly wave the Monero flag.
Marty is always on target…especially in the non super cycle phase. And that’s the price we pay, truth when you need it the most not when Bitcoin is pillows and roses. 😼
Yes we need bitcoin influencers who provide helpful contents at all times not just when the market goes up.
💯 + work to avoid both force selling and borrowing
Work is almost always the answer
And don’t forget to consolidate those UTXO’s!
I need to schedule another self custody club.
Do you have any good reading, videos, or tips for learning how to take bitcoin for payments and how to teach others?
The problem is that most of the people won't even try to understand that how Bitcoin and Crypto works and panic during pullbacks or bear market 📉
Agreed. If you understand the cycles you can accumulate bitcoin with more confidence.
