Nothing stops this 🚂

Stars have aligned, our Bitcoin conference is on Friday, our co-owners the Winklevoss are coming to town for their first game…and if we win the game, we win the league.

You can just be yourself (on nostr)

STARKs and zero-knowledge systems are absolutely mind-bending. Cryptography is the closest thing to magic that we know of.

was just chilling at a bar in boston and was just told that im evil for being born into canada which was “colonized”. The leftists here are assholes

⚡️🇸🇬🇺🇸 NEW - Singaporean AI firm Genius Group has been temporarily prevented from expanding its Bitcoin treasury by a US court order.

The NY District court issued a preliminary injunction, restricting the company from selling shares, raising funds, or purchasing additional Bitcoin.

This stems from a dispute over the company's merger with Fatbrain AI, which Genius initiated arbitration to terminate in October, alleging executive fraud.

Beautiful wife, beautiful life.

Those measuring the system from inside of it are likely very confused today.

Love the nostr panel at @ MIT

Its the market's appetite for risk. In risk on, the market wants more exposure to riskier assets, which pushes up price. With risk off, it's the opposite.

Had an interesting interaction with a cashier today.

This young man in his 20s was ringing people up. His voice and mannerisms were basically like Napoleon Dynamite.

In front of me, the customer said “thank you, have a good day” and he said back “that would be impossible, but you have a good day ma’am.” I was only half paying attention so I assumed I misheard.

He then rang my products up as I focused on packing my bags. I pay and say basically “thanks, have a good day”. He says, “that would be impossible ma’am, but you have a good day.”

I paused, hearing the repeated statement. He started scanning the next customer’s items. Part of me wanted to ask why it’s impossible to have a nice day. It’s so specific. But doing so would interrupt his focus on the next customer. I took my bags, walked out, and looked back a couple times.

In hindsight, I wish I’d asked. That would be more important than risking the next customer’s checkout time by a couple minutes.

Next time I’m at the supermarket, I’m going to do a scan of the cashiers to see if he’s among them.

Excited to be here and diving deep into this new paradigm. I’m a React Native engineer passionate about mobile-first experiences, decentralized tech, and building meaningful products with real-world impact.

Just joined a team working on something exciting with Nostr, so you’ll be seeing a lot more from me soon. Looking forward to learning, contributing, and connecting with the community here.

Let’s build cool stuff together.

Confession:

For the first 4 years I was involved with bitcoin, I thought it was the meme-pool, not mem.

The memepool is what processes retarded transactions; not Bitcoin.

GM everybody!!! 🥰

I remember back when Israel went into Gaza, and markets took a hit, bitcoin was down notably and many tradfi macro folks who I otherwise respect for good market analysis were like “Why is bitcoin down today? I thought it’s a safe haven, lol.”

Similarly, today when bitcoin is up amid market turmoil, the bitcoin bulls celebrate it.

I’d be cautious about all one-day moves. If you over-emphasize them, you risk looking like someone with a memory of a goldfish, or otherwise operating with selection bias.

However, a point I have made in the past, and will repeat today, is that there are different types of risk-off events. A risk-off event that hurts liquidity is likely to hurt bitcoin. A risk-off event that demands more liquidity, or that is unrelated to liquidity (eg tariffs attacking corporate margins), is more likely to benefit or at least kind of spare Bitcoin.

Focusing on Bitcoin as a risk on or risk off asset is first level thinking. People who understand it deeply and self custody it tend to view it as risk off period, for good reason. But not always in terms of price. In terms of price, whether it functions as a risk on/off asset varies based on what type of risk on/off catalyst it was.

This catalyst risks hitting margins, not liquidity, and thus so far the reaction makes sense. But it still pays to be careful not to celebrate one-day moves too much.

Cautiously bullish.

The Bitcoin price isn’t moving. This is not movement.

Stop freaking out about every tiny blip. 🤣
