BULLISH!

I think JPEGs on the timechain are stupid.

But the idea that they're going to hurt Bitcoin seems so weak to me. Like the US dollar can withstand people scribbling on it but Bitcoin can't?

In fact, the idea of Bitcoin as a glorious digital monument with some graffiti scribbled on it represents humanity pretty well. That's kind of us in a nutshell. Seems on-brand. Perfectionists trying to keep their little gardens tidy while trolls come in and find ways to mess with them anyway.

NFTs and memecoins already had their peak fad moments. People now know that they're non-scarce gambling toys rather than investments. It's just echoes of that peak now. The only thing that concerned me about the ordinals/runes period was the rapid UTXO bloat, not the blockspace usage, since the latter already has a consensus limit on it.

And if Bitcoin transactions can't outprice JPEGs in the long run, then it's just not that valuable. Bitcoin currently does about 1% of the gross settlement volume of Fedwire. That's peanuts. Imagine if it reaches a point where it does even like 10% of Fedwire. What would you pay to move a full bitcoin globally, permissionlessly, in 10 minutes, in a world where it's no longer a niche thing?

FLEX

It’s kinda funny that Twitter is totally having a stroke right now. Nothing is loading and I can’t even respond to a bunch of people arguing with me in a thread 😂

UPDATE: 👀

Remember early April 2025? When bitcoin was ~$83k and the world was in a panic?

Let’s review how we did as Bitcoiners…

“#bitcoin, as priced in US dollars, continues to show remarkable strength during this *anticipated* period of consolidation since its 20-Jan-2025 high.” ✅

“As the green line shows, we continue to see a series of higher lows IN SPITE OF EXTREME MARKET UNCERTAINTY AND FEAR.” ✅

“This is exceedingly bullish behavior.”

“Could the price break down temporarily to the $70k-75k range?” ✅

“Of course.” ✅

“But I would view this as an incredible short-term buying opportunity... and, importantly, I am not expecting this to happen.” ✅

“Based on M2 global liquidity and sharp movements in the US dollar, I still anticipate new all-time highs for bitcoin sometime between mid-May and mid-June 2025.”

This is not a flex but, rather, an admonition to follow the liquidity.

Woah that pacers/knicks game last night 🫨

I was watching the survivor finale so I missed it 😂

Today was merely a foreshock. They will continue to grow more and more frequent. Until an earthquake overtakes the global financial system, in which Bitcoin takes over

How can people not see this?

let me get this straight: $mstr holds 576,230 btc and trades at a 2.07x nav premium. meanwhile, meta planet has 7800 btc, trades at a wild 5.70x nav premium, and it’s still up a few hundred percent in just a few days. you gotta be kidding me. stay humble, stack sats!

what's stopping you?

On Nostur:

Click the share link which will give you the same content on njump.

On njump, you’ll have the option to download the content.

Once downloaded, you can share outside of nostr.

I don’t. So who is “we?”

“Be humble and bundle bitcoins.”

See how dumb that sounds? I rest my case. #satsthestandard

We need a complete taxonomy of Bitcoin:

1 sat = sat

10 sats = dime

100 sats = cent (pronounced cench)

1000 sats = thou (pronounced thau)

10,000 sats =

100,000 sats =

1,000,000 sats = mille

10,000,000 sats =

100,000,000 sats = bitcoin

He’s really hell bent in this huh. It’s not just influencers, btw…

It’s normal everyday people already using sats peer-to-peer and telling their friends. But sure, dismiss overwhelming valid criticism as just “influencers.”

Jack is the one trying to influence against a massive wall of resistance from industry, builders, and plebs

I use sats, because everyone my age thinks the word “bitcoin” is cringe af.

“Sats” is a humanizing term for real people. “Bitcoin” sadly has such a negative connotation to those real people due to the scammers.

We need more easy places to spend bitcoin. I keep saying this because people ask me where they can spend it. I think it’s wrong to assume that everyone will be a hardcore hodler, people are actually curious where to spend.

It’s a tough marketplace problem and we’re making progress, but more effort needed.

Bruh, 2025 just casually tossed Machinsky, SBF, and Diddy into one cell like it’s a reality show - “Cell Blockchain: Who Scammed It Best?”

😂 should I call her by her first name?
