Ask not how to get normies to adopt bitcoin. Ask instead how to convert adopters to bitcoiners.

Impressive numbers. Hoping they can fix the issues with starship and start flying production payloads this year. We can’t have space tourism soon enough.

The $100 estimate is based on a fully functional starship and superheavy booster right? Or is that for Falcon 9?

You can just love things.

Tomorrow I begin a 5 day digital fast (aka vacation). A few days away from a screen does the soul some good.

Exciting times. Hoping to see more players enter the game in the coming years. nostr:note10zr8gsgy84m0qdq3sfpuszr8jf306nz3472rn09env6al6mmg6cs8qcj6m

Still feels like this cycle is different.

Among other things we’re coming into the cycle with a lot of screeching about cutting the size of government, much attention paid to stablecoins, the nation issuing the reserve currency picking fights with everyone, MSTR buying all the coins and lobbying the White House, etc.

Could be nothing. nostr:note15546ngppwqdl7um8udataghuuughvmlfhta9n97vkedgpcnwtquswx4wm0

Thank you for these images every night šŸ™

ā€˜"protecting non-custodial software, smart contracts, and front-end interfaces from being improperly subjected to regulatory frameworks designed for intermediaries or financial institutions" should be a priority for the Crypto Task Force.’

The ByBit hack and other large hacks are the perfect cover for introducing the next generation’s privacy pillaging ā€œpatriot actā€. It’s something to prepare for if or when the strategic reserves come.

They might call it the ā€œNever Yielding to n. Korea Nor Yielding to Chinaā€ act or NYKNYC act for short.

(really pushing the acronym here)

58k gang reunion party coming up?

On one hand, you raise a fair point. On the other hand I wasn’t clever enough to make fun of government incompetence with all that in mind šŸ˜…

In all seriousness I can imagine a scenario though where, for example, the US treasury or the Fed somehow acquires Tether 10 years from now and makes the tokens redeemable for Bitcoin for some period. People get complacent and setup more and more ā€œstable channelsā€ and while they’re still using Bitcoin rails (like the silver in your scenario) their end of the channel gets cleaned out in short order because fiat and there’s a mad rush to close channels and block space is in high demand.

I realize it’s not quite the same of course but maybe there’s a lesson in there somewhere anyway.
