Fun fact: in college I made money by being a paparazzi for a few years lol 😂

Throughout 2025 I’m going to keep posting exclusive content here on Nostr.

I would say it’s my New Year’s resolution but that implies difficulty or effort, whereas this is just something I like doing. Feels right.

Wow, Strike gives you SATS back on Bill Pay

Only exciting to me.

Being early or late would infer an end point, something that bitcoin does not have.

Welcome to the abyss.

Pithy for the early days of nostr

Keep building ✌️

Almost all the chatter on crypto twitter is about meme coins now.

Basically the narratives ran out and reached their final, most transparent form.

Keep creating, contemplating us with your best!

it is the early days of Bitcoin

NOSTR is the Future

and we're living in it

Feels cool to have something that's even more niche than Bitcoin to tell everyone about

Getting zapped on Nostr is sooo much more motivating than getting any amount of engagement on any other social media!

My goal in 2025 is to be even more militant about widespread bitcoin adoption.

The world is immersed in chaos and nothing can be fixed until people understand that the money is broken and they need to adopt the solution.

Fix the money, fix the world.

Bitcoin has now been working and trading for 15 full calendar years. It's time to see how it's doing and run some numbers.

On Jan 1, 2010, there were 1,624,000 bitcoin in circulation trading at around $0.001 each. The total market capitalization of bitcoin was ~$1,624.

On Dec 31, 2024, there were 19.803 million bitcoin trading at around $93,389 each, for a total market capitalization of $1.85 trillion.

In total over the 15 years, the size of bitcoin cash balances has increased by 110,400,000,000,000%, or around 110 billion percent.

If, during the next 15 years, bitcoin grows at only 1 ten millionth of its growth rate over the last 15 years, it grows to a total market cap of around $210 trillion, making it larger than all the world's fiat currencies and government bonds combined.

In such a world, a government may be able to keep its shitcoin alive if it doesn't inflate its supply too much (a big if, and an even bigger may). Whether they do or do not is largely inconsequential, because either way, inflation won't be able to touch the majority of the world's wealth.

Any bitcoin bearish thesis needs to present a coherent explanation for why bitcoin's next 15 years are going to have a growth rate that is significantly lower than a ten millionth of the rate of the past 15 years. Don't expect to hear one from people who get paid from the inflation bitcoin will kill.

Happy 2025!

Fiat is over if you want it!

The average monthly closing price of #bitcoin in 2024 was: $67,727

In 2023, it was: $29,869

In 2022, it was: $27,793

In 2021, it was: $47,029

In 2020, it was: $12,315

This matters for people who are living on a Bitcoin standard.

(Note: These average values are based on the monthly closing price of bitcoin on TradingView, and quickly calculated by me and my calculator. It's possible that I made a mistake somewhere.)
