Will go live with Paul Puey in 3 hours!
We’ll talk about Bitcoin privacy, Edge wallet & more. 
There are only 2 ways to scale Bitcoin: you either upgrade it, or else create monetary inflation through useful forks that serve a designated use case.
Essentially, the entire crypto market is Bitcoin’s experimentation layer & consists of stuff that could have been built on Bitcoin.
In a perfect world, there would be no “privacy coins” & no blockchain analysis industry: Satoshi wanted privacy, Hal Finney famously tweeted about trying to make Bitcoin more private. But somewhere down the line the “Bitcoin is transparent” narrative prevailed because it makes more people trust the system.
It doesn’t have to remain so. Bitcoin without confidentiality is a panopticon and every authoritarian’s wet dream. Time to get better!

The Zcash sidechain that Drivechains enable is gonna be sick 🔥
My YouTube channel needs 80 more subscribers to reach the 3k milestone.
Help a brother out! Maybe also listen to the Bitcoin podcast that seems to attract OGs & intellectuals.
Escape the “sound money bro, we’re so early, we are gonna get rich” matrix with Bitcoin Takeover 😎 
hot take:
the ultra masculine, carnivore, conservative right and “based” version of bitcoin maximalism is a psyop to alienate the community from the actually competent coders who are nothing like that (one guy turned his blue hair into a trademark, another one became a woman) and maybe replace them with “based” but code illiterate parasites.

Make Bitcoin cypherpunk again!
Being in bed with Wall Street & becoming compliant barely brought the price above what the free market accomplished 3 years ago.
Rich people don’t need another store of value. But billions of people need something to make unstoppable & untraceable payments.
“Bro Peter Tiel is only FUDing Bitcoin so he can buy more.
He admittedly spoke with friends at the FBI & attends the annual Bilderberg Group event as a member of the Steering Committee.
Peter Tiel is such a spook that he believes Bitcoin should be private & ETFs are bad for the project’s mission. His views are not at all consistent with his 2004 essay “The Straussian Moment”, he never wanted Bitcoin to succeed where PayPal failed.
Just listen to Michael Saylor, he is definitely not a spook and wants what’s best for Bitcoin!”
Peter Thiel:
- has more money & more powerful friends than Saylor
- probably owned more BTC too, didn’t spend every day bragging about it
- attends the annual Bilderberg meeting
- wanted Bitcoin to stay cypherpunk & add base layer privacy, dislikes the ETF & thinks it captured Bitcoin
Wasn’t the narrative that privacy is bad for mass adoption and big money will no longer want Bitcoin if it’s black market money?
“When people in the FBI tell me that they’d much rather have criminals use Bitcoin than $100 bills, it suggests that it’s not working the way it was supposed to”
– Peter Thiel, a billionaire investor who says he was in it for the disruptive cypherpunk tech and not for the compliant NGU that’s all about becoming part of the legacy financial system.
Something to really reflect upon. This guy has more money than Michael Saylor, more powerful friends, attends the Bilderberg annual meeting. Says he was in it for the revolution, clearly wanted base layer privacy – while the narrative we’ve been told that privacy is bad for adoption turned out to be just a lie on order to politically capture the system.
