How much gold would you offer Satoshi Nakamoto to dump a million bitcoin once this reserve is created?
In 2014, I could buy and do anything I wanted to do paying directly with bitcoin without any ID, which was great since I was debanked in 2010 and had a $657K tax levy and a revoked passport. Today? I drive for hours to plead with people to sell me dollars so I can eat.
Wow! Discussing my first book in my Cryptonautica Series with Derrick J in the summer of 2014, we imagined a screen adaption as a way to onboard ticket buyers. Me, The Bitcoin Storyteller since 2011 was banned, disappeared and imitated with imposters. But the idea remained. If that is not a beautiful picture of what Bitcoin does, Idk.
I was being sarcastic.
Trust but verify. You could ask Nick Szabo, Fran Finney or Adam Back who I am. Don't ask Bruce Fenton as he'll just say "Disruptive" and that is too vanilla these days.
I've been at this since 1979. Were you even born?
I've been a freedom fighter and civil disobedience activist since I was 12 in 1979. Yes, I've been successful. However the rate at which people become stupid, lazy and forgetful out paces me.
Lol. See? I meant Bitcoin adoption generations.
We are talking beyond each other.. Probably a generational thing. 🕊️
Idk David Sacks but Michael Saylor is not the hero he thinks or has convinced others he is. He's a product of "the value of bitcoin is it's price" with never even a nod to any of the four Ps.
When the dystopian fiction I write seems more plausible than reality, life is definitely weird. Glad I gots my faith and my dog.

No zap needed. I gave you a wut fer.
As one who has not had hopes in politicians, or The State, since I was twelve, I'm a bit envious.
Pick yourself and brush yourself off and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, go to the bank and close all your accounts, then run up all your credit limits, taking what has been taken from you, and opt-out. If you pay one cent, henceforth, to The I Ruin Souls gang, with any part of the fruit of your labor, you are now culpable. Just as self-custody is required to own bitcoin, personal accountability is required to own oneself.
#2 is false
I remember the day I had my mind changed about the death penalty by a school peer who was also taking Dr. Diane Harvey's Ethics course at Menlo College. It was a big deal to change my mind about such a firmly held belief. He was not a libertarian but he appealed to my views about The State. When I tried to slide in "yeah, but they aren't innocent", he got me with, "You believe only Jesus was innocent.". He won me over by appealing to First Cause Principles as I applied them to my own life. Pretty powerful.
