I’m an optimist. I understand Trump is a politician and politicians lie, and what we will get will likely not be exactly right and can even go the other way. But any of this being 10% true will be a big shift from what we’ve had the last 4 years

I’ve seen Ryan Selkis torch himself twice on very contrarian views (gox, this election), but both times he’s been right and come out ahead. I don’t always agree but it’s hard to not pay attention

This is Trump’s written crypto platform

"We will...ensure every American has the right to self-custody of their Digital Assets, and transact free from Government Surveillance and Control."

Not spending your bitcoin when it 20Xs in purchasing power is a very rare thing

Either people do it in your app or they have to covert on Google 😄

The change comes when you can easily convert sats / dollars in your head. Maybe the bits guys were onto something…

I don’t make the rules

Where does this meme come from? Conflating unit of account (hard) with medium of exchange (have had this since lightning + global BTC/fiat liquidity) nostr:note16nc4qnna0r2exwtynw2dzp5tatzt38fjqkr4sj3f0r48hy8h7g5qypdff5

Here's the issue with the stablecoins --> bitcoin supposed pipeline meme.

The steps:

1. Add stablecoins to

2. People become familiar with blockchain tech

3. People realize bitcoin better

The reality

1. Add blockchain exposing anything to

2. People use something else

Nothing will gain mainstream adoption by adding tech that no one cares about. No one adopts any new tech by learning about the underlying mechanisms.

I know you learned about bitcoin because you felt left out in 2017 and bought cardano and now that you really understand the tech and the economics you run a bitcoin node, but consider for a second that you are remarkably abnormal (it's ok)

We succeed when all of this is invisible to the average user. The app that achieves MOE:

- Looks like any money app

- Allows choice of unit account (the true hurdle for bitcoin) by integrating seamlessly with existing rails

- Offers lower fees, global reach by nature of using bitcoin

Stablecoins are fragile. There is nothing stable about having your balance pulled over night because your issuer:

1. Used the wrong bank / bought the wrong assets with the treasury

2. Received a government request to delete your grocery budget.

Idk how we get around doubling your purchasing power without Uncle Sam having something to say about it

MOE

If we get anywhere close to a billion, it’d be incredible
