even my family are mostly still CNN watchers and believers... at least my father and brother have figured it out.. 10 000 hours has been an achievement but sometimes wonder if id be better off mentally if I never found BTC - financially obviously not..

Saying "I'm not interested in Bitcoin" is like saying:

I’m not interested in the environment.

I’m not interested in the future.

I’m not interested in peace.

I’m not interested in fighting inflation.

I’m not interested in human rights.

I’m not interested in...

Sickening really.. I was born at the wrong time! I am struggling daily to even interact with normies…

It's getting harder and harder to live in this world which we currently do. 10 000 hours of in-depth research on what's actually happening yet there aren't riots in the streets bothers me..

Wake up! The central banks of the world are destroying humanity by simply printing money for absolutely no good reason. More money in the system causes inflation which makes people who can't save poorer. OPT OUT!

Imagine electing a BlackRock puppet to run your country....

Imagine electing a BlackRock puppet to run your country....

and some people still think that they're living in a democracy in that country and that elections are actually a thing. Meanwhile EVERYTHING important for 27 countries is decided by an unelected Comission run out of Brussels run by two convicted criminals.

Make §5 GRUNDGESETZ great again.

The best advice I’ve been given since discovering bitcoin was to stop overcomplicating things.

Most of the time, we already know what to do:

• Show up.

• Do the work.

• Keep going.

It’s not flashy, but that’s how progress happens. Every day.

Even when it feels slow.

Truly changed my life.

Which makes me wonder how easy it would be to take over the network. Buying 30,000 RasPi is reletively inexpensive.

What’s stopping say Michael Saylor buying them and tacking some poor bastard with setting them up, then propose a massive change in the network. I think a lot of people believe it only takes arguing on X…

“The scenario where fiat collapses entirely is one many don’t dare imagine, yet it’s the logical endpoint of a system built on promises it can’t keep. In that world, Bitcoin isn’t a speculative asset to be priced in fiat; it’s the lifeboat.”

Saylor claims to be a Bitcoiner, not a BitcoinBug. I’m trying to impose that label on him because he’s going to end up on the other side of a fork to Bitcoiners and I want to be able to classify sentiment.

I don’t believe his purchases can be verified on-chain. But I do believe he’s leveraged to the tits and that corn is going to end up with the US Government as the basis of their reserves by way of his leverage.

The ETFs have bought ~2.5x the new issuance of bitcoin since their inception.

MicroStrategy (alone) claims to have bought ALL the new issuance of bitcoin over the last year.

“…But but but ‘profit taking’…” is keeping the supply shock from occurring?

No … Coinbase - enabled by others - is fractional custodying bitcoin. We have huge amounts of paper bitcoin suppressing the price.

With all the chaos and nonsense going on in the world right now, I wanted to share something that I believe is critical as it relates to what is happening on #bitcoin (the first global free market that can’t be cheated) versus a system of corruption (trying to stop that system) Either 1) through willful intent or 2) lack of knowledge.

(*the majority of people fall into the lack of knowledge group)

According to game theory and playoff matrices: even when there are very high rewards and low punishment (they wouldn’t get caught) approximately 10% of people won’t cheat - no matter what!They place a higher internal value on integrity that overrides external rewards. I’ve seen this number as low as 2.5% and as high as 20%.

Why is that important:

Although everyone wants to see themselves as one of the honest, the math says that between 80 - 97.5% of people will cheat depending on the rewards. Now enter money - the ultimate pot of gold with high rewards and low punishment for cheating because people don’t understand it. Most people will cheat - a mirror of the world we see and have seen in Bitcoin since its inception. Need inflation, bad for environment, drug money, doesn’t scale, crypto, meme coins - the list will go on and on because if people can “get rich at someone else’s expense - most will. Those are simply the numbers and always have been.

In fact, in prior periods of history, the honest were at a massive disadvantage because and would often be killed by the cheaters. Because the integrity was so rare, society would often celebrate these people after their deaths as lessons of what we wanted our higher selves to look like.

#bitcoin has changed the equation. Giving those with integrity the power. Why: because 2.5 - 20% of people that won’t cheat is a massive number - especially if many of those people are decentralized and can’t be “found”. Those are the people who eventually run nodes, contribute their time and energy to keeping #bitcoin decentralized and secure, watch for attack vectors, build value on top of this protocol, call out the cheaters, teach and advocate to help others see it. Those people simply can’t be bought, and more are joining every day.

That decentralized and secure protocol bounded by energy is repricing everyone and everything from the other system and it will continue to do so as that system tries to grapple with: the cheaters no longer make the rules.

It will be chaotic, many more will try to cheat (don’t be afraid to slay your heroes) but in the end…..Satoshi unlocked a way to put the best of us into a protocol that was best for all of us.

What a time to be alive.

he served his time? i never said otherwise. i dont think he should have gotten two life sentences. i think he committed crime and served his time

There are so many vectors in which this is wrong.

1. You need to be conservative as possible with changes if you’re trying to create sound money. Moving complexity to second layers makes a lot of sense because modifying core is too risky

2. You would lose all privacy. Having every transaction that can ever happen on an immutable public ledger is just dumb and will eventually fail.

3. Larger blocksizes screws up a lot of networking and mining., and so many other things. It increases IBD and makes it harder to sync with other nodes.

I could go on but this has already been gone over a thousand times

Having a sitting Senator from the state of Wyoming quoting a hip-hop artist from Marcy projects in Brooklyn, to declare fidelity to a global freedom technology that is advancing human rights and empowering people in many of the world’s most marginalized communities was not on my bingo card for 2025. Let’s go!!! 🔥

By their own release. Block-chain is not block-chain unless it is open source. Defined.

The trouble is people don't really read anymore. I'm looking at people in our own community freaking out. They really just have to embrace the truth. This was always the plan. Shitcoins and degens with fiat mindset as well as many corrupt organizations (Ripple) will get rekt and start salvation from the bottom. Those calm, humble and convicted will be rewarded. Get the 'leg up' they deserve in the future.

Always about #Bitcoin.

Read up about Andrew Jackson. Keep calm. Understand you're living through the most historical event in civilization's history. The battle has already been won behind the scenes, now this is just a movie.
