Yes. Leaving is so easy. Apparently not easier than running their mouths about how America sucks.

The new measuring stick.

I deleted my Twitter acct before Elon takeover and was nostr only. I recently re-created my acct on x. It’s a timesuck of mostly engagement farming. Nostr is so much better and I agree, like a conversation at a pub. Well said.

You mean political refugees? 😂 👽

Taxation is Terrorism

Suppy shock math/paper bitcoin

Current block reward - 3.125

Number of 10 min intervals in a non-leap year - 52,560

Annual global bitcoin production - 164,250

At $100,000 per coin, thats $16,470,000,000.

In 2024 alone MSTR has absorbed $13.6B or 144,000 bitcoin.

Ask yourself this question- What is the most energy efficient path to sats as the unit of account? The funnel is USD. He is obviously playing to ruling class. Fiat will continue to be debased and bitcoin is the new asset for new fiat money creation. Stablecoins are a weapons platform. Nobody wants to use a US stablecoin if they can be debanked. There is only 1 stable coin. It’s the one with a declared and unchanging monetary policy for the next 140 years.

All part of the game until such time as the btc price is $10/sat. At this point who wants dollars? Until that time, the fiat ponzi scheme requires an engine for growth. In other words, an asset that is a vehicle for new money creation/debt. Bitcoin is pristine, liquid collateral. I think this is the path to a bitcoin/sat standard. At $10/ sat fiat is finished.

I suspect few people in the world have interacted with more individuals who lost bitcoin than I have.

I answered support tickets for a non-custodial web wallet that, at the time, was the most popular in the world.

I'm talking about 100,000+ tickets over five years, many from users who lost access to their funds. Not just tiny amounts, mind you.

Sometimes hundreds of bitcoin.

My inability to help them still weighs on me.

We added warnings and info about the importance of backups. It's not that I could have done more. The nature of the old Blockchain(.)info wallet made that impossible.

The bottom line is personal responsibility demands extraordinary effort, and not everyone is up for the challenge.

Lost password? Sorry, I can't help.

Lost seed phrase? Sorry, I can't help.

Funds stolen by a phishing site? *Sigh*

What troubles me most isn't the sadness I felt from doing this daily for so many years. No, eventually you grow numb to it.

That's what truly hurt.

I imagine this is a lesser version of what people in the medical field have to do to cope with their jobs - learning to stop caring so much.

It takes a toll on your humanity if you live this way for too long.

I could have stayed in that job. Stacked more sats. It made sense, financially. I'd have a lot more bitcoin today if I did.

Instead, I left, choosing to be with my family and focus on self improvement.

Anyone who has worked during the early years of a startup will understand how incredibly burnt out you are once you finally step away. It took me years to push through that.

But I still think about those users.

The ones who made all the mistakes of the past that you, the bitcoiners of today, would learn from.

Almost seven years have passed since I left, and I'm no longer numb to their pain. I feel sadness for them again.

And I'm grateful for that.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and take some time to reflect on the things that truly matter in this life. 🧡✌️

The higher the USD bitcoin value, the more nerve wracking it can be to move funds, consolidate utxos, etc. I think about aging as well, and what might be an iron-clad security posture now, could be a point of failure later. Btc security will evolve with the needs of the HODLr, and my sincere hope is solutions get developed to bolster sovereignty, not reintroduce trusted 3rd parties.
