Bitcoin’s ETF got approved.

It stands for End The Fed 🫡

I’m going to the gym. Call me when btc/usd gets a god candle.

Fun fact: by listening to season 15 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, you can find out how to get a free 30-day subscription to IVPN Pro.

After the trial is over, you can extend it at will with Lightning payments.

Rate my first pizza from 2024 🍕

Yup, playing it again after almost 15 years.

Me: Okay, I’ll take a break from all this internet money debating and play a video game.

The video game: money printer go BRRRRRR 🖨️ https://video.nostr.build/ba90b0c6ded7096d13c1097c25e2cdc5f04bf0ad4b9385bfb07dd6f7bc45f58d.mp4

Toyota Celica GT4 ST185 (aka GT-Four)

Manual transmission, 204 HP, 95k miles (150k km), 4WD, 1990.

Costs about 0.2 BTC.

Yay or nay?

Gm, if you think that Satoshi discovered digital alchemy when he created Bitcoin and now the project doesn’t need any more development or improvements because every attempt to add extra code is an attack on Bitcoin…

Then read BIP 42 + ask yourself why you didn’t know about this.

What is BitVM and why is it such a big deal?

Can it enable Drivechains without a soft fork? Did Bitcoin just become Turing complete?

Find out more in season 15 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, of which Robin Linus is also part!

Season 15 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast is coming.

Are you ready?

Just recorded a super fun interview with Nicolas Dorier. We talked about BTCPay, NBitcoin, TumbleBit, Final Fantasy VII and the difference between ordinals and colored coins.

Remember when I promised I would publish 10 episodes at once for season 15? It will probably be 14 😂

Time to start editing! https://video.nostr.build/eda1c62b826599fab8b3d381a83fdfeb526529004825397acb26187a7d118978.mp4

Bird app is down, so I came to the ostrich app to complain.

Later today I’ll interview Robin Linus to talk about BitVM and Zero Knowledge Proofs in Bitcoin.

Tomorrow I’m interviewing Nicolas Dorier about nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg

Got any questions for them?

Both interviews will get included in season 15 of the Bitcoin Takeover podcast 😍 https://video.nostr.build/25f07df9041da364e0ebb10a8a5d2f96d43f564edac75dfbba796e7ed6135727.mp4

Okay nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx, let's have the conversation instead of avoiding it this time:

lol

Hot take: ordinal disrespectoooors are spooks.

They modify their node client to discriminate against Bitcoin transactions, ideologically motivate others to do the same.

Freedom of transactions is freedom of transactions even when you don’t like what others transact.

Otherwise, it’s a slippery slope that only leads to your government telling you what kind of transactions you should filter. Today it’s jpegs, tomorrow it’s CoinJoins and multisigs.

How to surf the web with privacy this Christmas 🎅🏻

1. Open your burner e-mail account. You know, the anon one you use for Brazzers.

2. Send an e-mail to trial@ivpn.net and ask for a 30-day trial for IVPN Pro. Mention Bitcoin Takeover podcast.

3. Enjoy your free 30-day subscription! https://video.nostr.build/a82b0d890d6e1ba7fa8f5d5b0cd8a16f97c5e1e9fdfb9a7259bfc9f902fbcc1e.mp4

You can’t have free markets without scams.

If you spend too much time policing markets, you only create a mandate for the government to step in and regulate.

And after it regulates the stuff you hate, it takes advantage of this convenient precedent to regulate what you love.
