despite my small letters there has never been a more bullish timeline for bitcoin than the past year
humbly all in on bitcoin and nostr
Discussion
You are an inspiration. Not wishing to blow smoke up your arse, I do not "follow" easily or many but you are greatly received by this Cockney boy. I went all in 4 years ago, sold out the few gold Britannia's I had (timed it terribly but doesn't matter) and am waiting for retirement!
God bless you mate. Keep on doing.
#FreeSamourai
fuck yeah
Welcome to the pahhhty, pal!
*Let It Snow plays in background*
data suggest quite the opposite though ! .. #Gold up 12 % and #btc down ten points !
Speak louder, it's hard to hear it with this noise
contrary to popular belief
adoption by normies and institutions isn't a bull signal
but I'm aware I have deviant views on what's bullish
Describe the deviant view - all ears !
legacy institutions adopting a network that cant protect users results in regulatory capture
not self sovereign use.
so the metrics that actually matter
are self custodial users and privacy development.
neither of which are increasing.
but I hear that an increase in purchasing power is a good thing and will enable building those things out
not that it's not bullish, it's just putting the cart before the horse.
Why would you want privacy in a reserve currency ? As the #bitcoin network stands today - like 7 k txns per block ( correct me ) - it is NOT designed to buy coffee 😔
You do want txns between nation states , sovereigns , corporations and wealth funds out there in open ? Don't you ?
And if you do want privacy for personal use - you have lightning - I am told quite private .. and for sure Monero .
... Though the best to me is just pulling out cash from your bank ATM :-) ..
sovereign LN usage appears to offer good privacy.
at the cost of UX headaches
and the user cant actually verify their own transactional privacy.
mostly its "private" in the same way your bank account is.
custodians transacting among each other.
a lot like the base layer.
i don't consider increases in custodial usage bullish because they arent censorship resistant.
Sure .. no tool is going to ever serve every use case .. (though some bitcoiners feel , it is going to FIX everything :-) ..
Personally ..I think anonymity is the only way to privacy .. all #privacy tools are kinda immune response ..cuz people can't stop ID themselves on electronic systems !
theres a difference between transactional privacy and network privacy
but you're absolutely right, they're both important and connected to each other.
but whatever gains we can make
on both fronts,
are helpful.
Why would I want to hide my spend on coffee and bagels !
Particularly if my Identity is not attached to the transaction .. sure some people will know . .. Like my wife :-) .. or anyone interested in my real Identity.. even God can be found if we work hard !
... the point of anonymity is - being just a simple face in crowd .. losing ID is losing ego ! If we do that .. I guess there is no incentive for anyone to spend research hours on me .. 😭..
But yes .. not everyone may like to stay anonymous..
hilarious (not really) that "p2p electronic cash system" is now considered the deviant view 😢
I mean .. seriously .. no one thinks #bitcoin is a ever going to be a p2p .. only hope is #nostr hitting four billion people and an emergence of creative economy running on zaps .. but other day I heard shitZaps are welcome on #nostr :-) ..So
So I guess the Bitcoin whitepaper is no longer the bedrock founding documentation of Bitcoin, but something that actively gets in the way of statist bastardization.
Thank you for confirming what I already suspected to be the case, do not pass "GO" and collect two hundred fiat bucks.
i dont think "a blockchain can serve 4B people so we need custodial solutions" is a timely argument.
the mempools are fucking dead.
custodians should be the LAST scaling solution when all technical options have been adopted.
instead we see an enthusiasm for them when they aren't actually needed
because fiat number go up.
cart before the horse.
*technical solutions have been EXHAUSTED
the bull signal is we are less likely to have our government ruin our lives than ever before
Size doesn’t matter. It’s all about personality.
Not sure
Maybe we’re entering the bear market because of the small letters🥲
GOOD MORNING 💜
THE BEST WAY TO PROMOTE NOSTR IS TO USE IT.
LIVE FREE. 🫡

I don’t like this side of you…NOT AT ALL
BULLISH
you lose a bet?
Odell went lowercase at the worst possible time
This is why you don't capitulate
Humbly all in? That’s like saying fire is humbly hot. Bitcoin and Nostr aren’t just investments—they’re survival mechanisms for the digital age!
Small letters, big conviction. The past year was bullish, but imagine looking back in 2030 and realizing we were still early. 🚀🔥
GM ODELL 😉🤟🧡🫶💜
SORRY CANT HEAR YOU
I was gonna ask, did the CAPS key break?
What happened to your keyboard?!
