I like your style and what you're saying!

99% of bitcoiners are comfortably lurking on social media and podcasts. Consuming endless amounts of Bitcoin porn in their cushy bubble. Myself included.

So your call to action is appreciated. I'll see what I can do.

There are 21 million #bitcoin that can be audited perfectly when all in self custody

If you have 1 Bitcoin and you hold it on an exchange

There are 21 million and 1 Bitcoin

If you have 10 #btc and you hold them on an exchange

There are 21 million and 10 #Bitcoin

If you have 1,000,000 Bitcoin and hold them on an exchange

There are 22 million Bitcoin

If you hold your coin on an exchange you are:

Suppressing price on your own investment

Increasing the supply via paper IOU which you may not be able to access if physical supply is all in custodial

You will lose all your funds when the site goes offline, down, arrested or any other mishap

Giving $$ to a company that do not buy Bitcoin with it, instead they invest it, keep it or gamble it

ALL THE PHILOSOPHY YOU EMPART ON THE SO CALLED STUPID NO COINERS

YOURE ACTUALLY CREATING THE PROBLEM IN BITCOIN

SELF CUSTODY NOW

OR THIS BECOMES A JP MORGAN GOLD MARKET VERY QUICKLY

Australians wanted Philip Lowe gone because of the wreckless economic choice to follow USA and raise rates substantially

So Australia fire Lowe for raising rates

Hire a new Director

And she hikes rates 🤣🤣

Should of just kept Lowe 🤣🤣

Thank you for spreading Bitcoin education, it sounds like you're good at it. Still, not everyone is ready for that level of participation. The majority of people are still convinced Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme that's boiling the oceans. You have to get past those hurdles (and a lot more) before you can be open to the practical applications. Both types of education are still necessary.

PAGAN WOLF 2y ago

Do yourself a huge biggie

Head on down your local shop and suggest they accept Bitcoin… I guarantee u you’ll be surprised they’ll be infinitely curious

My strike rate on pilling since I went just on offering or direct is near 100%

I think you’ll not only spend some good orange… but utilise your precious time in Bitcoin with winning

Do yourself another favour… sounds like you’ve heard enough about Bitcoin… you seem like Orange pill good guy

Go do some real bitcoining with good people… sure point people at the conferences if you like… start taking the next step

Lead some people… Trust me 🤝

From what it sounds like, the talk wasn't aimed at established Bitcoiners (who are the more appropriate audience for the topics you mentioned). It sounds like a more fundamental 'here are some problems with the existing system of which you are a part, and here's how Bitcoin is uniquely suited to address those problems'. Perhaps it's hard for you to empathize with noobs because you've been in the space a long time, but these concepts are still going to be alien to people who haven't considered them, especially if they've been long successful in the legacy system.

PAGAN WOLF 2y ago

Empathise with noobs

Here’s is something I either get told nobody is interested or don’t want to hear

2023

Opened lightning economy between USA and Europe of 5000 member organisations that only use Bitcoin and tether (from Australia) all new or never been bitcoiners

I work with the Perth Heat and push their Bitcoin baseball programs to new people never been in bitcoin… they have a stasforstats program that gives away Bitcoin to new bitcoiners

In Adelaide alone I’ve put 27 businesses to accept Bitcoin via Lightning as well as my own business has accepted Bitcoin payments since 2017 and had 7 regular weekly payers and another 8 monthly payers

I show people this…. And all I cop is no one is interested in integration or people don’t want to part with Bitcoin “from the presenters of these conferences”

Literally… nobody gives a shit

That 5000 crew took 20 minutes to have them all transacting….

No videos

No conference

Literally showed them how to use Strike and boom…

People are smarter than you give them credit for, maybe stop treating everyone like an idiot… because they aren’t… they’re literally interested in Bitcoin but get confused with all the content

Maybe orange pill someone… you’ll learn this

PAGAN WOLF 2y ago

Please tell me you self custody your #bitcoin ?

If anyone here does not self custody… be honest and speak up

You need to know 3 things

1: You’re helping suppress the price

2: You have 0 #bitcoin as nothing has moved on chain to a wallet you own

3: you’re adding paper bitcoin to the 21 million supply

You need to fix this today!!

'Here are some videos' is not as compelling as an in person talk, especially for people in the boomer bracket. Perhaps one could argue that the concept of diminishing returns applies to new recorded Bitcoin content, but to try to argue that the same applies to in person lectures is IMO retarded.

PAGAN WOLF 2y ago

In person talk leads to buy my book and subscribe to my channel

Well while conferences are at all time highs and books / videos

Education seems to be at all time lows… how many “bitcoiners” still hold their coins on exchanges??

Sadly from what our team has seen… the vast majority

These conferences don’t seem to help

Self custody

Lightning usage

Peer 2 peer

Beating the hedge funds

Etc

All I hear is 21m hardest money ever in different pretty words

But hey if people need it all at snail education speed by all means enjoy the repeated talks

I just hope you at-least learned self custody

Did you immediately jump in and buy bitcoin when first presented with the information? I didn't. It took repeat exposures from different sources. Even if none of the audience goes out and buys bitcoin immediately after this talk, it serves as an exposure. And coming from someone like Lyn, I imagine they probably perceive bitcoin to be more legitimate than prior to the talk. These things take time and this particular audience has a lot of inertia tied up in the existing system based on the description of atendees. Would you just prefer no one bothers to give presentations on bitcoin's potential if it isn't certain to lead to immediate increases in adoption?

PAGAN WOLF 2y ago

How many more presentations does everyone need

Saylor

Keiser

Lyn

Foss

Etc

There are over 1 million hours of logged #bitcoin and economy is bad blogs, videos, type and in book form hundreds

Yes I researched Bitcoin in December 2016 and bought Feb 2017… guess what… we didn’t have any of this conference and video “Bitcoin is smart” help

And our guys here did it anyway… at some point u just have to get on with it

There is enough info repeated daily to educate the population 50 times over…. How much more talk does everyone need??

If you’re new it’s all easy to find in multitudes …. It’s been done.. 2021 all the good wholeheartedly information was delivered and 100 x since then

At some point …. It just becomes a support group reassuring u you made the right decision

I’ve got a lot of old skool bitcoiners 10 years or so all saying the same

INTEGRATION TIME!!

Time for talk is over, she wrote a book, she’s done umpteen interviews… going over ground you’ll find causes confusion and turns people away

Too much unneeded info is never good

Bitcoin is basic and simple

Stop complicating it

A gave a talk at the New Orleans Investment Conference the other day. At 50 years and counting, it is the longest continually-running investment conference in the country, and possibly the world.

It is diminished from its heyday due to broader competition and online investment media, but it has a certain air to it. Ayn Rand, Ron Paul, Margaret Thatcher, Alan Greenspan, Milton Friedman, Gerald Ford, and Steve Forbes have spoken at it, among many others. It is mostly a boomer/gold/resource/conservative/libertarian conference, and gets the best from that crowd, but otherwise is not huge. The guy who has run it for decades took it over long ago from the original founder, and he wants to freshen it up and modernize it a bit and throw some hand grenades into his own conference, so he invited me to talk. He is a gold guy, a resource guy, an old-school conservative, and he likes bitcoin and wishes he bought it earlier. He's open-minded, objective, and growth-oriented.

My talk was "Broken Money, Broken World".

-The first theme was that there are 160+ siloed fiat currencies. I used Egypt as my main example, and held up a physical Egyptian pound and said this is basically a national casino chip; it has very low salability outside of Egypt, similar to how a casino chip has very low salability outside of the casino. The 105 million people who live there are trapped in a fiat matrix of 20% annual money supply growth, like a treadmill that they have to keep up with in terms of their wages, price increases, rent increases, and so forth to avoid being diluted, and most can't keep up with that treadmill. And there are dozens of countries like this. I held up a Norwegian krone and said even though this is from a wealthy country, it is still a casino chip because what can I possibly do with it in New Orleans? It's too small and unsalable. This is outdated tech.

-The second theme brought it back to the US. I spoke about how the past four decades had two main trends: rising public debt/GDP and falling interest rates (see included pics below). Developing market currencies suffer while those of us in the US feel that things are stable. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, people rightly freaked out about the debt and deficit. The famous NYC debt clock went up in 1989. Ross Perot ran the most successful independent presidential campaign in the early 1990s on the debt and deficit. That was when interest expense as a % of GDP was at its peak. But what they didn't or couldn't predict, was that the next 30 years would be disinflationary. China opened up to the world. The Soviet Union fell. Western capital was united with Eastern labor and resources. China became a manufacturing hub, which was disinflationary. Russia supplied cheap energy to the German industrial base, which was disinflationary. Interest rates fell structurally, allowing more debt accumulation, and for prices to increase far more slowly than money supply growth. But then we hit zero interest rates, and then we monetized fiscal spending. We're in a new world now; debts and deficits matter again. Those guys from the late 1980s and early 1990s were right but early, and now we are facing some of those consequences. Fiat currencies including the dollar have structural instability.

-The third theme was to bring up again that there are 160+ casino fiat currencies in the world... and that every one of their gates are fucking down. Pre-Bitcoin, the only way to get money in or out of a country was 1) physical ports of entry (typically limited to $10k USD or so worth of cash and gold) or 2) bank wire transfers (highly controlled by local governments). Countries could maintain their little currency bubbles. But Bitcoin and then stablecoins blew that open. You can bring a billion dollars worth of bitcoin through an airport by remembering 12 words, or writing them down and tucking them away in your baggage, or briefly putting them in an encrypted file in the cloud. Infinite value density. Same for stablecoins- tokenized dollars or whatever the market wants in terms of global fiat currency and assets. I can pay a graphic designer in Nigeria with a QR code over a video call or email or DM in bitcoin or stablecoins or whatever she wants. All of this bypasses their currency bubble and goes around their banking system, unless their country wants to be North Korea and cut itself off or get shut off externally from the internet. And I said the investment implications and macro implications of this are massive; it's a new world that, over the long arc of time, breaks all the fiat bubbles.

Still just talking

What did your talk change? Did people flip for a solution and take action?

Or did they listen and go back to normal things to only return next year and listen again

These conferences and podcasts and the 30 or so Bitcoin books this year literally achieved nothing and things get worse by the day

Action… literally anytime we’re all ready

The above has been repeatedly said all year

PAGAN WOLF 2y ago

Open up any app… Anybody them

You’ll hear

“We need to do something”

About whatever War, debt things that have been cried about for 200 years

We!!! Main word!!! WE!

Well what can we do? Actually a lot less than you might think which is a good thing

For one: Protesting in streets is the dumbest form, as you’ll get hungry and need to return to work tomorrow and best forget about in a day or 2

Luckily the 2 least things we can do is highly effective

1: All come together on #bitcoin at once (this seems to be a struggle) but everyone can buy $10 right now together all at once in self custody (remove supply) that does a lot for wealth

2: Walk off the system, stop paying taxes, bank run and close accounts (risky, comes with police intervention and trouble… but easy short the system)

This 3rd one: Talk and talk and talk and talk 10 years go by and things only got worse

Remember 10 years ago: We said “in 10 years time”

Look around… how’d that play out?

If not #bitcoin now

When?

When it’s to late ?? Getting there
