I don’t treat Saylor as enemy of Bitcoin either. It was general statement. Saylor is in ny opinion proBitcoin, positive force although hus view differs from mine.
But, maybe, just maybe, even forces against Bitcoin are part of Bitcoin? They are shaping Bitcoin trying to push it in that or other direction while pro-Bitcoin forces which are not united are opposing and trying to push the other directions. It’s like crowd rolling big ball on the beach.
I would say that Bitcoin is not only for enemies but also for enemies of Bitcoin.
I still bet this ball is rolling the right direction.

I agree with you. He is free to share his thoughts as anyone is free to disagree and provide contrarian views.
I just think, by looking at the comments, that people either had to big expectations of him and now feel betrayed or maybe disappointed. Sailor whether one likes it or not is part of Bitcoin. We are all Bitcoin.
Michael Saylor thinks #bitcoin is #capital, not #currency, and would like to see the world adopt the digital U.S. dollar as #money instead.
I vehemently disagree with his perspective.

Excellent piece Frank. Thank you.
My note on Saylor dissrespectors. Don’t blame Saylor for doing his own diligence and running his own business by his own rules. While not being in line with vision of Bitcoin shared by many bitcoiners including myself he is only one of the players in this game. Stronger than many but still one of many. Future of Bitcoin is not determined yet, nothing is granted. There is no final truth. Everyone is free to do what they want.
Bitcoin is freedom.
STFU about your stack if you care about your family.
An attempted kidnapping victim was identified as the wife of a crypto influencer. Her husband had been keen to post on social media that he had become a millionaire by investing in crypto currencies.

Even if not now byt one day when bitcoin is 1M or more someone might recollect that there was that guy next door in bitcoin hat. He can say that to a friend in a pub and that friend with his friends might pay you a visit.
Lay low

My nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl sever is 99% full. I will be swapping ssd for 2TB. Don’t zap me for w while. All services are barely working. Shit, as always I had to wait till the last minute.
FAFO time.
Yeah FAFO as always.
Don't get me wrong. Everything what happend is mine. No issues with software. On the plus side, I am learning a lot for example how to back up and restore start9 server.
Current state of affairs:
1. My server with new 2TB disk kept on crashing like before the swap. So I wondered if this might be some issue with the machine itself rather than SSD ... or both? I tried to look into the logs which was hard as it was crashing actually when I was not watching. I am not that advanced in Linux to check what is going on and I could not find the clue (was looking for weny erros related to SSD in dmesg and nothing found) until I thought about bips the machine plays when started and maybe there may be something with the memory (memory parity).
2. In the meantime my old SSD was syncing on another machine where I wanted to put pruned Knots + Datum.
3. So I decided to swap the discs back to have new disk on new machine and old one back on old machine. It was going fine from the start. I synced Core, put LND, CLN back to work, elcrtrs was synced to. I could have stopped on this but no, when you FAFO you FAFO till the end. Switched from Core to Knots with the purpose to have it pruned later. It was still working and then I thought maybe, just maybe I will not prune it and it will be working for some time more since I had still 60GB free space. And then elctrs crashed and whole machine crashed.
4. When I booted it up Knots asked me gently to resync the chain and so now I am here - 86% synced, LND, CLN stopped and I do not know how they will handle that. I am prepared to have all my channels closed. Since that it crashed again. Now it is working for 2 days. And in the meantime there is new machine with 2TB syncing from zero.
The new machine with 2TB is fine and I will put there bitcoin + lightning stack eventually but I would also like to bring the old one to life and than have it for Knots + Datum.
FAFO, FAFO and then FAFO
Of course. Thank you for what you’re doing
I am sorry Lyudmila but this is a feature not a bug. As long it is “our dictator” Avery thing is fine. If any of western banks get caught like CreditSuisse RIP bastards my my favorite HSBC they get fined and go free. This is part of the system. While when your foundation has my accounting isssues for 10 EUR you will get prosecuted.
🔴 The real problem:
Current #AML regime relies on 'trust' with authoritarian and dictatorial states. This enables:
• Sanctions circumvention through banks controlled by them and their allies
• Abuse of Western legal systems to silence critics
🔴 AML/CFT laws impact on legitimate actors:
• Excessive compliance costs for Western businesses
• Financial barriers for NGOs & humanitarian aid
• Continued global financial exclusion and repressions
I remember it since I was a kid in primary school “For free you can get punched in the face. That’s all”.
It is inevitable. No BRICS currency. There is no trust among the nation states. They need trustless minetary system.
When they have thise little baby piggies around them they are fucking going full berserk when you make a little step in wrong direction. 💀
Watch out nocoiners, this is what nostr:npub1lxktpvp5cnq3wl5ctu2x88e30mc0ahh8v47qvzc5dmneqqjrzlkqpm5xlc does to you.
Did he then play the Imperial March on this drum? Truly a man of many skills.
Remember to back it up on Google drive. Safety first.
You guys got me to #6 and pumped us to 98K.
Now let’s finish the job! Gets us to 100K for good!

Nice Christmas gift.

He knows shit and doesn’t know that he knows shit. He did not spend any time learning. I can see that all around. No proof of work.
I tried to orange pill some people I care about but so far no result. I asked them to read Bitcoin standard and Gigi’ 21 lessons. I told them that I can’t and won’t tell them what to do with this. They must work it out independently as I did. Most of them read first book but it seems like they understood nothing. I wonder when they catch up.
At least I know none of them is shitcoining.
