drivechains are the only bitcoin “banks” i can accept

fuck federations that cosplay as sidechains, fuck custodians, fuck layer 2 solutions with no unilateral exit

the miners have most skin in the game, they invest most money in this network

i’d rather trust them than coinbase

did an interview with a romanian documentary maker and in it i was super bullish about bitcoin

i even bought $20 worth from an atm (on camera) and encouraged everyone to do the same and wait for a few years to see what happens

in my mother tongue, i’m almost always optimistic – 2013 roger ver levels of shilling, alex gladstein levels of virtue signaling

it’s only when i interact with you guys on the purple ostrich app that i get depressed

such stupid takes, so much hopium, so little consideration for onboarding the next hundred million people in a non-custodial way and giving them the privacy to escape authoritarianism

but i might have different personalities in different languages too, i’m far more polite in romanian

today is a good day to read the bitcoin whitepaper and reflect

Bitcoin OG Charlie Shrem is now the chief evangelist of a new project called Digital Gold (DGD)

So I’ve decided to ask him all the important questions, to empower everyone to get informed before investing.

Hope someone will find this useful!
