Just did a rough calculation and all the ETFs together hold <5% of BTC. The top 10 btc reserve companies together including MSTR still hold <4%.
Satoshi was an absolute genius for front loading the supply. The vast majority of btc is still in the hands of ppl who were mining in 2010 to 2015. This way he loaded the pockets of real cyperpunks (they had to be if they were mining at that time) with the vast majority of bit coin. Countries and massive corporations are now going have to work really hard to even get a fraction of what they have.
ABSOLUTE GENIUS.

⚡️🚨 URGENT - This is such a horrific scene!
Elderly men and women are left behind, unable to push through the crowds at chaotic aid points. They wait for hours in harsh conditions, hoping for a share, often forced to gather spilled flour or rice just to bring something home.

Listened to a podcast with Balaji recently and he mentioned that when bitcoin hits 1 million things will change drastically. He’s right. At 1 mil there’s going to be ALOT of jealousy. No bitcoiner is going to be safe. No matter how prepared you think you are you aren’t ready. Either you’re going to have to move to very protected societies (Dubai, Singapore). Or your going to have to drag many many more people into bitcoin so the haves are greater than the have nots. All this “have fun staying poor” is very unhelpful and short sighted. We need more people saving in Bitcoin.
I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help myself and it’s killing me. “You’re welcome”.
Wow. Balaji is talking about ‘Fight Club’ and taking it to start a country!!
That’s serious cypherpunk.
This shouldn’t make people feel safer. It should make them realise how fragile their position is. It’s only a matter of time they become an enemy of the state. Remember…
“First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

Definitely. Worrying echos of Musk.
He’s parents are Indian not Iranian.
I think that’s a fair point but it has to be clarified. I can say that in my case the physical attraction came first. There were very smart women who I wasn’t attracted to but at the same time I wouldn’t have persued her if there wasn’t the intelligence as well. It had to be both not either.
Ok what makes me uncomfortable is the general use of the term “men”. I know there are differences intellectually, emotionally and physically between men and women. That’s a given. But can’t help feeling there are just as many differences between men and other men as there are between men and women. To say men should always act in a certain way maybe desirable but is just not true.
Sorry accidentally published before I finished. I was attracted to my wife BECAUSE she is very smart and driven and ambitious (also very pretty). I consider myself smart, driven and ambitious as well. So I’m disagreeing that men are not attracted to women with advanced degrees.
It’s almost a biological imperative for me to find someone who was as smart if not smarter than me. I wanted smart kids and I wanted an intellectual equal. I wanted someone who was going to push back against me.
So I think a broad statement about men not being attracted women with advanced degrees is factually wrong. It’s right for a certain subset of men but certainly not for all.
Pulled the trigger and am migrating all my Microsoft 365 mailboxes and my Gmail over to nostr:nprofile1qqsdu74x8vw8aqylv6n8hhxjh4xf22sfe4fwuq0d0ke435ym4ktlssqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43qzxrhwden5te0dehhxarj9e3k76twve6kuepwv9c8qflp33w
I did that from Gmail. I still use gmail to register for things I know I’m not too interested in or I know I’m going to get spam from. Have to say proton Mail has been really good so far. No spam yet.
I love you nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvq9n8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99ah8qatzx9e8gmr3vdsnsu3kv96hjcthx4hr26pnds6ngv3jv3kngumj0y6kg7nxv4jngd3exen8zefcwvm8zem4v34hxdmydf6xvuelvfex7ctyvdshxapaw3e82eg9kdqpl but really have to disagree here. My wife is more accomplished than me although for now I earn more than her cos she’s part time. I personally wasn’t keen on her going part time cos I figured you’ve worked so hard to get here, you’d may as well make as much money as you can while you can. I guess I’m quite layed back and she’s quite driven so when she returns full time I’m sure she’ll make more than me. My point is that I know your views of family and the man’s role are very different from mine. I still feel I’m the head of the family but I know that my wife feels the same (ie she’s the head of the family). I feel I give in more but she’s constantly telling me she is always giving into my demands.

I think it’s a great idea. Look how well the wars with Iraq and Afghanistan went. Be back home for tea.
It is not possible to be victim of a genocide while committing a genocide. Maybe I’m the naive one here but I just can’t justify deliberately starving children to death on the off chance that the child grows up to be a freedom fighter (or terrorist depending on your point of view).
McDonald’s accepts bitcoin in lugano Switzerland 🇨🇭
…Nostr gonna kill me for this one 🤣

Very cool.
But $23 for a burger and a tea??? I knew Switzerland was expensive but this is ridiculous.
Bitcoin is a cult and NOSTR is its church
“Israel prepare to send tanks and troops into Gaza”. We assume Satoshi’s intent was to show the infinite money printer. What if he also wanted to show the that outcome of broken money is cheap war and Israel’s genocidal intent in Palestine showcases it perfectly. Money printing and forever war preserved forever in the genesis block. Satoshi is a genius
