"I've been in Bitcoin since 2013"

"Oh so you must have a lot of coins then!"

You are all a bunch of autistic libertarian idiots and I love all of you for it.

THE FOUR PILLARS OF FREEDOM TECH ADOPTION

- EDUCATION

- OPEN SOURCE DEVELOPMENT

- BUSINESS INFRASTRUCTURE

- STRONG LOCAL COMMUNITIES

WE NEED TO KEEP PUSHING FORWARD IN ALL FOUR OF THESE CATEGORIES.

Do any of you guys own stonks in your cuck accounts like IRA etc?

What stonks do you like?

all i want for christmas is a small portable nuclear reactor to mine bitcoin

Today i am explaining to my editor what a Satoshi is.

Yes, i am serious.

Yes there are 100 million Satoshi in 1 bitcoin.

If anyone says hyperbitcoinisation is near i will explode 😂 😂

Do people in Bitcoin really understand Bitcion?

Some people that buy bitcoin, leave it on an exchange, don't understand what it is at all. They think it's just a Ponzi scheme and they can make some money out of it.

Other people understand the digital gold concept, the fact that it's 21 million. There can't be more than 21m, so it is a good store of value.

Some people out there actually understand that the fiat system is going to fail, but they don't believe that Bitcoin is a solution. They're either gold bugs or they just believe some other new form of government currency has to be created. They think that because they can't see out of walled garden and they think that the only way you can have a currency, is if it is controlled by the government.

But then there are a smaller number of us, and I've got to say, I've only joined this band in the last couple of years since I've seen lightning working, that know that this is actually the payment system of the future and lightning makes all the difference. I think Nostr as an application that uses lightning for exchange of value for Internet media, that's a really good use case that proves Bitcoin. That's what this really evolves into, is fundamentally a payment system that we can all use in a fast and cheap way more securely than anything we have ever had before. The added advantage is that the base layer can't be over inflated. It is like the invention of paper notes that operated as a faster and cheaper layer 2 that runs on top of the gold base layer.

We used to have because paper notes were faster and cheaper to transact than gold. With lightning, you've got your base layer, which is the bitcoin, and instead of being held in a single vault controlled by the government or by multiple governments, you've got this decentralized storage of the digital gold because it can be in multiple multisig wallets around the world. No one really knows where they all are, so it can't be seized. It's enforcing democracy in terms of money. The lightning is sound money because the payment layer programatically and securerly represents the base asset.

I think a fair amount about why I am doing this (as in working in Bitcoin and educating around it as I see it), and why I don’t just throw it to the win and live my own happy little life.

The truth is that I think if we are not ‘all in’ we may very well lose. And not just bitcoin, but the wider vision of the Cypherpunks, and the possibility of a truly free internet and what that promise would mean to humanity.

I simply cannot walk away. I must do this because I feel morally and ethically obliged to fight fiat on every front available so that the lies may finally be seen by all for what they are: lies.

Damn lies that have pulled the whole of Earth into its nihilism and despair; damning language itself to its collapse and presenting the impossible idea of freedom from the State and its infinite tyranny.

We must win—or all of posterity will be enslaved forever.

The bird app is fucking awful and obviously feeding back into hate, bigotry, and violence with all of the gore and porn it’s promoting.

Happy we have each other and a means to stay connected where we are not being barraged with sexual and violent images constantly to keep us trigger, angry, and hurt.
