Why privacy is important. Great conversation with about how you can keep your stuff private, and choose what you reveal to the world.

Companies holding bitcoin treasuries now number 240 from around the world, as of 23/6/2025
This has increased by 26 companies in the past 30 days, which come to over a 10% increase in 30 days.
The amount of bitcoin held by these same companies is 3.45 million bitcoin, which at today’s price of $102 000 USD has a total value of $351.9 Billion USD
This phenomenon has been steadily increasing, unabated, for the past 6 years.
Remember, these are companies that are both privately owned and public companies. All companies are accountable to their shareholders and expected to make profits, and then reinvest those profits to ensure future growth and sustainability.
So why would they be converting their cash reserves into bitcoin?
Let’s look at the bitcoin price movement over the past 6 years.
In Jan 2019 the bitcoin price was $3693 USD
In Jan 2025 the bitcoin price was $93595 USD
This is a return of 2434% over 6 years, or 405.7% per year (year on year).
Of course past performance is no indication of future returns, but 26 companies in the past 30 days have decided that this is worth not just investigating, but investing in by putting some skin in the game.
Everybody has an opinion about bitcoin; from the haters, to the indifferent, to the curious, to the maxi’s. But ‘Words are Wind’ to quote Game of Thrones, and it may be worth paying more attention to the people and their companies that offer their opinion in the form of money invested.

What if the technology that promises to simplify your life is secretly working against you? In this eye-opening conversation with Jordan Bravo, host of the Sovereign Computing Show, we pull back the curtain on the hidden costs of our digital convenience.
I'm about half way through this series, and it's absolutely chilling. If ever there was a case for the existence of Evil in this world, then this is a pretty good place to lay the foundation of such. The methodical approach, taken with such care and patience, over such a long period of time, and with such a wide net, can never be accidental. It is coordinated malice and hatred of humanity on a scale I don't think has existed before. Learning about this has been extremely motivating for me. I am thinking deeply about how to life going forward. One of your best episodes Guy - thank you

Visiting a new country for a few days as an extended connection, for a short holiday, between the US and South Africa. Took 5 minutes to order, pay and setup using LN. No hassle. No personal info required. This is incredible.
Yes, I’ve uploaded to Apple Music, Foutain.fm, Spotify and YouTube so far
First episode of my new podcast. Understanding Freedom through Money, Technology, Economics and Philosophy. South African flavor.
It’s becoming like a music festival. You have limited time and tons of bands to see. Spending time before the festival listening to some bands you haven’t heard of to get a feel for their vibe, can save some pain at the show
Time to leave the big conference scene and do the smaller ones. TABconf is a great example, not a VC in sight
Bitcoin is transforming South Africa’s retail landscape—and it’s just getting started. 🚀
From the townships of Bitcoin Ekasi to the coastal vibes of Bitcoin Witsand and Plettenberg Bay, communities are ditching rand for sats, building circular economies that empower the unbanked, freelancers, and small businesses. Now, giants like Pick ’n Pay (2,300+ stores) and global chains like Steak ’n Shake (500+ U.S. outlets) are joining the movement, slashing fees and unlocking financial freedom.
Why it matters:
✅ Lower transaction costs for retailers
✅ Hedge against inflation & currency collapse
✅ Financial inclusion for millions excluded from banks
✅ Borderless commerce for local businesses
South Africa’s retail revolution is here. Can your business afford to ignore Bitcoin?

You know we have hit the mainstream when ‘elites’ are arguing over the term ‘sats’. Reminds me of a bunch of politicians creating a storm over absolutely nothing, in an attempt to sound relevant. The most anti-cyberpunk thing I’ve ever heard.
Remember how Jordan Petersen became famous? Some authority tried to make it a crime to NOT address someone by their preferred pronouns. He called BS, went viral and never stopped. This is the same woke agenda. You want to implement a policy to force us to name change? What happened to emergent and discoverable by the people?

I feel the same about the American Standard system of everything (length / distance, weights, temperature, volume and dates). I’m surprised you guys kept seconds, minutes and hours. What the hell.
Agreed. It’s not about having the last laugh. The question was about someone that understands perfectly but still disagrees. When there is clear and effective communication but no agreement, then all you can do is walk away. You can’t coerce agreement.
This could be a good thing. Martin Luther was the solo dissenting voice against the Catholic Church at the time, and single handedly started the Reformation. I guess time will tell.
Try this “If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry."
