What still confuses you the most about #Bitcoin?

I know too many people that got cancer after the jab. This is just sad. We need to fight back and stop «The Elite» before their next big thing to save our family and friends. Put your #bitcoin in cold storage to fight back!🧡

On Friday Balaji predicted chaotic real estate seizures in the form of forcing people to house homeless people with their extra rooms. Earlier today the Mayor of NYC publicly pushed for this exact policy.

Things are accelerating quickly.

Excited to be on Nostr and engage with the community. Many shared ideas!

I’m growing more and more concerned about the reliance on GitHub.

And starting to think a bounty isn’t the right way to fund this work.

Bitcoin is the next world's reserve currency & it's the end of the cycle. The final monetary revolution.

As a value investor, I find Charlie Munger's recent WSJ-published arguments to ban bitcoin/crypto and thank the leader of the Chinese Communist Party to be embarrassing and sad.

I'm currently writing a research note to 10,000 retail and institutional subscribers on why it's dumb.

Munger has a history of arguing that someone should be able to "steelman" their opposing view if they are going to have an opinion on something, which means being able to articulate an opponent's viewpoint more convincingly than even they can. Recently on CNBC, Munger was quoted on his historical claim and then asked by the anchor to steelman bitcoin/crypto after his WSJ op-ed, and he was unable to and didn't even try to.

He doesn't know anything about Segwit, Taproot, block size limits, whether a base layer should be Turing complete or not, anything about power dynamics between nodes, developers, and miners, etc. Absolutely no clue, and no attempt at a clue.

Such a bad viewpoint doesn't only reflect his old age, but also reflects his inherent ethics at a structural level from inception as a banker. It undermines his entire legacy.

Even on the history of money and its problems in developing countries, Munger would be schooled in a Twitter Spaces by any random above-average bitcoin twitter anonymous account.

It's sad to see.
