Thanks! A good read-start! Wakaranai!(🤣)

The better question is how much #bitcoin is being lent out at any given points in time and average over a measured and reported period

Look at the #bitcoin ETF flows net, then assuming they are acquiring actual #bitcoin, some portion of the net was likely spot purchases before the ETF was issued

#privacy and #opsec is like a game where participants are given clues to an answer, and when a player knows the answer they remove themselves from the game

Answers are out there

Daniela Brozzoni wrote a very warm foreword for Lukáš Hozda's "Building #bitcoin in Rust" book that is published by Braiins. These are cool people, man. Here it is :

Foreword

Bitcoin is the best form of money in the world, though I didn‘t understand that when I first started exploring it. What caught my attention was the incredibly complex engineering problem that bitcoin solves: achieving consensus on ownership of coins through a trustless, private, peer-to-peer network. This problem fascinated me, and I found myself going deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. Over time, I discovered the many other aspects of bitcoin - how it can help us build a better world based on sound money, protect people‘s privacy and freedom, and allow self-sovereignty and security. Ultimately, it was my curiosity about the engineering that led me to become a bitcoin developer, but it‘s my love for the cause that still fuels me.

Similar to bitcoin, Rust also caught my attention by solving a challenging enginee- ring problem: ensuring that dumb developers write safe and performant code. For me, learning Rust was a tough journey - as you‘ll soon notice, the compiler is pretty grumpy, and will complain relentlessly until you write code safe from issues like double-free memory bugs, dangling pointers and null references. Don‘t be intimi- dated, though: before switching to Rust, I was a Java developer with little experience using C/C++; yet, through a lot of trial and error, I learned the language and gained a deeper understanding of how computers work. Rust became more manageable with experience, though it never stopped being challenging - but ask yourself, as bitcoin developers, should we aim for easy code or for safe code?

Looking back, this book is exactly what I needed when I started. It provides a concise overview of bitcoin and Rust before diving straight into hands-on action. By the end, you won‘t be an expert in either, but you will have a practical understanding of both, along with your own pet project to improve and practice on.

You might think there are already many bitcoin developers, and it‘s true, but there‘s never enough. There is still much to improve, whether in privacy, UX, scalability, design, or many other areas. I don‘t know you, fellow reader, but I know you are different from all the other developers out there, and as such, you have something unique to contribute.

Let this book be the start of an amazing journey, and together, we can make bit- coin even better.

Sixteen Tons

In the days of debt servitude, your employer would pay you in their currency scrip and you would buy everything you needed from the company store. When you didn’t have enough the company store would lend you the money, and you would pay it back from your next paycheck which typically would also not be enough—you became a debt slave. This is not different than being stuck in #fiat and fighting inflation by those who print the #fiat—the FED/USG is the new Company Store

Escape the mines and #optout
