Sharing what I consider one of my most important slides from a recent BTC in DC speech because it helps us understand why real change is slow and predictable.

Zero to one moments are always possible - just rare as people reinforce their own view of the world from their past experiences. (Tuning out all things that don’t match their entrenched view)

And while this is easy to see in those “other” people - we mostly miss the very thing in ourselves. (And seeing it in ourselves is the real superpower)

yeah there's something deeply odd about it when you step back. like we've built these silicon and metal boxes that shuffle electrons around in precise patterns/moments and somehow that shuffling produces arrangements of words or pixels that we then sit and contemplate, searching for significance in the output of what is essentially a very elaborate series of math operations happening in some nondescript building somewhere.

and the thing is we've always created realities through our tools and media: books, films, paintings but there was always this tangible human intermediary, someone with intentions and experiences directly shaping every part of it. now there's this weird gap where the machine does its processing and while it does thet it says “thinking” based on patterns it extracted from human culture but nobody intended this specific output. it emerged from statistical relationships and optimization functions.

what gets me is how quickly we adapt to treating it as meaningful. we read ai generated text and our brains just... process it like any other text. we argue about it, learn from it, get entertained by it. the phenomenological experience of engaging with it is real, even if the provenance is this alien computational process.

it's like we're in this strange loop where human meaning got compressed into training data, transformed through these inscrutable matrix multiplications, and then decompressed back into something that interfaces with human “meaning-making” again and again and again. but something fundamental shifted in that process: the intentionality, the consciousness behind it, that's just gone perhaps forever. replaced by optimization toward prediction.

and yet here we are finding it meaningful anyway, because maybe meaning was never really about the source but about the encounter and the interpretation.

this image is real so was the walking and thinking.

What’s the sentiment on bitcoin nostr?

Core v30 or knots?

Or core v29 or older?

That is the dumbest shit I have ever heard

Y'all realize we are closer to WW3 now than we ever have been. All nostr gives a fuck about is the price of bitcoin. DUMB

The more valuable one – ‘good money’ – will be hoarded and will disappear from circulation, while the less valuable one – ‘bad money’ – will be passed on (used for transactions).

Sure, but I'd imagine circulating sats in hot wallets is a tiny percentage of overall supply. This trend is exactly what you want to see, per Gresham’s Law

The funny thing about being an “influencer” (a label others put on you, not one you put on yourself) is that if you say things people agree with, they never assume you’re getting paid off. But the second you say something people disagree with, they assume you must be getting paid off…

Which is funny because in my case I’m not getting paid at all by anyone for anything I say. This is why my last few episodes have been pure value for value episodes — there are no sponsors.

It’s also why I love having my fiat mining job; I don’t have to take money from anyone. My retarded opinions are entirely my own.

Anyway, hope you’re having a great Saturday.

Looks insanely bullish if true

fascinating

BITCOIN IS MONEY // USE IT AS SUCH.

the idea that fees alone stop spam sounds good on paper, but breaks down fast when you look at real attacks.

fees swing around. on a quiet sunday morning, an attacker can jam blocks with junk for pennies. by the time fees rise, the junk is already locked in and every node has to store it forever.

not every attacker cares about burning money. governments (especially governments who want bitcoin to die) ideological actors, rival coins, or just rich trolls can spam even when fees are high. think about that for a second and you’ll realize that this action immediately invites some actors/bodies to throw unlimited resources at trying to kill bitcoin. economic deterrence only works on people with limited resources who care about economics.

spammers pay miners, but the cost lands on everyone else. every node has to download, process, and store spam transactions forever.

the bitcoin blockchain itself remained neutral 'til now, it's simply a ledger of txs. the problematic content emerges only when specialized software interprets blockchain data in ways that reconstruct harmful material. until now, the defense was that bitcoin doesnt support data, it requires extra tools and software to transform it to CSAM. however, with the introduction of core 30, this distinction becomes less tenable. 30 effectively transforms every participating node into a component of a distributed storage system making operators potentially complicit in hosting content rather than merely maintaining tx records. this shift fundamentally changes the nature of node operation from passive record-keeping to active data hosting, raising new questions about liability and responsibility for network participants. another words every node running core 30 effectively becomes part of the data-storage layer and thats a big problem!

if bitcoin is money and if you’re a monetary maximalist, there’s no such thing as “legitimate or interesting content” on the network beyond tx data.

They never knew their real enemy in the first place. It's what makes them normies

Same price. More buyers. Less supply.

Bitcoin transferring from weak hands → strong hands (MSTR + ETFs).

Supply shock brewing.

$109,275 BTC/USD – Aug 25, 2025

Since that date:

🟠 10,889 BTC bought by MSTR

🟠 25,553 BTC bought by US ETFs

= 36,442 BTC accumulated

–––––––

$109,275 – Sep 27, 2025

⛏️ 33 days → 14,850 BTC mined

📉 supply, 📈 demand.

Just to check my understanding, there are people happy about digital ID being rolled out? Like literally welcoming it?!

😔 Tired of being tired 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
