Bitcoin was created for you and me, to help us escape the evil consequences of wealth confiscation, hidden taxation via inflation, and corporate financial censorship.
Instititional investors such as Microstrategy and Black Rock only care about accessing the volatility which enables them to report higher USD profits. They don’t need the censorship resistance and they’re Cantillionaires who have access to the money printers before the consequences of inflation are felt by the average person.
Spread the world about Bitcoin to your friends and family, they are the ones who need it the most!

Happy UASF day, historically irrelevant lady in front of the “Buy Bitcoin” sign 😂
This Bitcoin independence day dip is pretty sweet, not gonna lie 🤤
BTFD
Gm, happy UASF Day!
6 years ago, the sovereign Bitcoin nodes got fed up with the miners’ hesitancy to activate SegWit. So they did it themselves!
UASF is basically independence day, as miners lost most of their political power while full nodes became a force to be reckoned with 🫡
Reason #10 why you should run a full Bitcoin node:
If left neutral and free of filtering, your full node preserves the network’s censorship resistance.
While other sovereign nodes might choose to not validate certain types of transactions (SegWit, Taproot, RBF, ordinals), you can make a difference by not making any kind of discrimination.
While Bitcoin is a global and neutral protocol, full node rules are subjected to human biases and politics. By choosing to not care who uses Bitcoin in ways you may not like, you are doing a service to the network while presenting the underlying cypherpunk values.
Be a Bitcoin hero, don’t censor any transactions 🫡

How much bitcoin is too much bitcoin?
Tomorrow is the 6th anniversary of UASF Day (the day users running full nodes have activated SegWit, after months in which the miners couldn’t agree on it).
What’s the proper way to celebrate it?
Reason #9 why you should run your own full Bitcoin node: it provides financial inclusion to the world.
Maybe that you can run the transaction validation and storage hardware all day long, but there are people in other parts of the world who can’t rely on their own infrastructure.
So if you run a Bitcoin node with port 8333 open, you’re going to be a reliable peer for others to use the Bitcoin network on portable devices.

If 6500 people buy one Cryptosteel Capsule for keeping their seed phrase, passphrase, or Nostr private key in cold storage

Then I'm gonna afford to buy a brand new Supra and get a girlfriend 😍
Sounds doable, right?
RIGHT?! 
Bitcoin mining doesn’t boil the oceans. It’s actually the most transparent electricity consumer and one of the most efficient industries in the world.
It converges towards the most inexpensive form of electricity, creates incentives for renewable sources to get developed, creates a more stable electricity distribution grid, and also makes use of surplus energy that can’t get stored and would otherwise get wasted.
In comparison with other industries, Bitcoin consumes orders of magnitude less energy than air conditioning and only twice as much as idle televisions. It’s on par with fridges – inventions whose usefulness in relation to the environmental damage nobody questions.
To learn more about Bitcoin’s electricity consumption and why it’s not as bad as the mainstream media makes it look, read the Breaking FUD magazine 🔥

The plan is simple:
1. Get the Breaking FUD magazine in the hands of 1 billion Bitcoin skeptics
2. If everyone buys $100 worth of Bitcoin, we hit $100k without institutions
3. The institutions FOMO, buy in to push the price to $100k
4. We dump on institutions, buy Supras
5. The institutions panic sell
6. We buy the dip
7. As Ben Arc puts it, we walk into the sun leaving a bet world behind us

According to Peter Todd (nostr:npub1ej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqm3ndrm), Full RBF is useful for large multi-party transactions such as Wasabi CoinJoins.
If a CoinJoin participant double spends his input funds, then the entire collaborative transaction gets stuck for hundreds of other users. With Full RBF, it’s easy for everyone to pull out.

Can you HODL your bitcoins in cold storage on Ark layer 2?
According to protocol creator Burak, you can technically create a shared UTXO setup which locks the coins for 1 year so they can’t get spent.
But this is the closest Ark can get to cold storage.

In S14 E5 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, Ben Arc predicts that the bitcoin price can easily hit $100k in a couple of months.
His bullishness is based on the extended number of use cases that the Lightning Network and Nostr enable to billions of people worldwide! 🔥

Nostr, the decentralized relay-based social network that’s really popular these days, was inspired by a LNBits plugin called Diagon Alley.
What’s Diagon Alley? As Ben Arc explains in S14 E5 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, it’s a peer to peer marketplace project which eliminates parasitic third parties. It’s also built on top of the Lightning Network via LNBits, so payments are instant, uncensorable and irreversible.

What is full RBF? In S14 E4 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, I’ve asked RBF creator Peter Todd and Bitrefill CEO Sergej Kotliar what they think about the issue. Since they hold opposite views on the matter, the episode turned out to be a debate with a lot of back and fourth action from both parties.
In a nutshell, full RBF is an ideologically-motivated approach which gives the sender of the bitcoin complete control until the first on-chain confirmation occurs. This means that the user can “cancel” a transaction (resend it to himself by paying a higher transaction fee) or accelerate the confirmation by providing a greater incentive for the miners to pick the transaction.
