on alby

there is a stand-up comedy routine in there somewhere

I wrote the call at 59 on ibit, and received 100$

at course &speed they're going to take my Bitcoin

sad....

but things r pretty volatile right now so we'll see

funny you should mention that , lol

if Bitcoin closes over 105k on the 24th and I made a bad bet

at the moment closing in on 110k so I'm starting to look like a huge loser lol

If #bitcoin stays decentralized and secure, it is imposing the first global free market the world has ever seen.

Productivity gains flow to broadly to society in free markets through deflation.

Everyone gets richer every year and competition to provide value increases driving a cycle of unprecedented prosperity.

But, if you are pricing #Bitcoin in USD, you are still in the system of extraction and centralization which must centralize faster through the extraction of the productivity gains that should flow to society in the form of lower prices.

The two systems are incompatible!!

And…It is a confusing topic because we have no reference for what a global free market looks like……so many people will get rug pulled (eventually) by not choosing self custody and running nodes. Instead trusting institutions and a paper derivative of their #bitcoin.

Why: because it will appear they are getting wealthy (in USD) Protecting the decentralization and security by running nodes and being constantly vigilant for new attack vectors will seem like a stretch! For most people pressing the easy button in an ETF or other centralized entity will seem like the right thing to do which ensures faster centralizing.

That centralized system of extraction MUST eventually attack Bitcoin or fail.

This may be a long time out. Ie - if I was on the other side of the fight - I would make my system as easy to integrate to bitcoin as possible and use the natural biases of humans against them. Ease of use, trust in institutions, time, etc so they didn’t “need” to worry about self custody and understanding how the protocol works.

Those on building on #Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning, Ecash and spending their time contributing on this open protocol and teaching others are on the front edge of the greatest change the world has ever seen. From extraction to cooperation.

Stay vigilant, stay focused, run a node, and tune out the madness of the system of extraction trying to drag you back into its centralized structure.

For the opportunity to exist, It had to be this way!

We are so early.

I've been listening to your message Jeff

the only way you're wrong is if people stop using it

people buy the Trump coin

people prefer dollars

what would cause people to abandon Bitcoin?

but it's hard to imagine how that could happen long term

Sarah Paine is a genius and you should read everything she wrote

I need to use that on my friends who are always catastrophizing everything

selling covered calls on Ibit when he gets at the top of this range like much over 100

selling cash covered puts if it gets to the bottom of the range (90ish) cuz if they put it to me at that price I'd love to have it

80% annual roi

very conservative strategy if you believe in Bitcoin for the long-term

I just bought on river at 90514
