same reason as the first time, they tell is it is encouraging selling digital content outside of apple pay

You're only right in the technical sense that nothing is physically taken from you. Its just stolen purchasing power. The thing people actually want

Wow,what a bunch of noncence

#Bitcoin

Florida lawmakers have introduced HB 1039 to create a state-run Bitcoin reserve outside the state treasury, managed by the chief financial officer. The fund would hold Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and economic volatility if the bill becomes law.

🧩 Riddle of the Day 🧠

What begins with an “e” and only contains one letter?

🧠 Proof of Brain (4 HOURS) ⏳

⚡ 5 sats: 👀 Sneak peek — how long's the answer?

⚡ 10 sats: 🕵️‍♂️ First letter? Fine, take it.

⚡ 22 sats: 💀 Reveal all. The riddle dies, you win (kinda).

Calling the dollar “strong” because some prices didn’t rise while the money supply multiplied is confusing prices with value.

If money grows 10× and bread “is still $1,” that’s not stability:

it’s forced productivity, hidden costs, and silent redistribution through non-neutral inflation.

Inflation doesn’t hit everything at once.

It benefits those who receive new money first.

Then it punishes savers and wages.

Apparent stability isn’t monetary strength.

It’s temporary distortion.

Sound money doesn’t need dilution to function.

It needs limits.

All this stuff about Zcash has been known for a long time.

It's just that the big guys have been fooling the little guys as usual, but that's not the worst part. The worst part is the people who sell themselves out to tell lies on their podcasts and give financial advice on X and other crap.

Let's see, you ignorant little man, there will never be another Bitcoin.

You're so ignorant that you haven't realized that all the development of L2 layers, sidechains, and all kinds of protocols are being done on Bitcoin.

So many projects have come out around Bitcoin that it's impossible to keep track of them all.

Shitcoins are simply a lottery, and it's fine for people to gamble, nothing will happen, shitcoins aren't going to disappear because of that, but don't sell lies and act like Marcus Aurelius, you piece of shit.

the difference between sex and masturbation is like the difference between first class and economy seats on a plane

the upgrade is worth it if you have money burning a hole in your pocket but otherwise they both get you from A to B

and by money burning a hole in your pocket i don't mean taking a woman out to expensive restaurants. even just filling up a gas tank in your car to meet her or paying for an Uber ride from the club is still money. you don't have to shower women with money to get laid but some expenses are inevitable even if your girl isn't materialistic.

whenever i had a GF i always ended up spending 2X to 3X more money even though my girls never asked for anything but i always felt the need either to take care of them or to make sure they aren't bored or at the very least to be with them which already implies transportation costs.

if you have a well paying job and lots of money saved there is no harm in having a GF. but if either your income or savings are questionable you should stick to masturbating - not because you can't get a girl on a budget - but because if you're on a budget saving money should take precedence over pussy.

only date women if you literally make more money than you know what to do with and your source of income is 100% secure like for example if you're a surgeon. if that is the case there is no harm in spending every evening in some restaurant with a new woman but if it isn't stick to porn.

Debt-based capitalism; boycott all of its inastance, all of them. Keep #bitcoin decentralized. Repeat it.

ZCash dumping because all devs walked out of the Electric Coin Company

😂

I'm talking about intelligence agencies. Or government level operators

Its all about trust, everything in financial markets is a confidence game. This is why fiat is failing and bitcoin is winning.

Bitcoin is not an investment product. It is a rule set.

If you don’t run your own node, you accept someone else’s rules.

If you accept someone else’s rules, you are not using Bitcoin. You are using a representation of it.

Changes like those in Bitcoin Core v30 are not minor details.

Policy is power.

Whoever controls policy influences usage.

Running a node is not a hobby.

It is responsibility.

No nodes, no sovereignty.

No sovereignty, no Bitcoin.

There’s way too many videos that talk about the inflation of the dollar and then just leave it there as there’s nothing you can do about it. They need to study bitcoin instead of just being defeated

If someone paid me for mowing their lawn in bitcoin and then I went to a local farmer and bought some raw milk with some of my bitcoin. Then say the farmer went to someone else and paid in bitcoin for some orchard grass for some of their horses…only some people would know about these transactions.

Save in Bitcoin. Focus on your craft.

i think you're guilty and your feelings are hurt because what i said literally respects womens personal hopes and aspirations. You're retarded as fuck.

INSTITUTIONS ARE TEYING TO SHAKE YOU OUT! HODL!

institutions are making fiat being delta neutral in bitcoin options monetizing the volatility and don’t give two shits about direction.

everything you have ever written has come true … why aren’t you happy? 😁

The pain is real:

No new UTXO hodlers this cycle, just paper bitcoin.

No liquidity, one major point of failure (Saylor).

The SOV narrative is cracked, the MOE use case forgotten.

Empty mempool, community fading.

I’m kind of confused by the question you are asking, so answering it regarding my best interpretation.

You’re still imagining Bitcoin as a logical filter sitting above physics, when in reality it is the first system that exposes the Planck-ledger layer beneath physical experience. Everything we observe in nature is written into the Planck ledger as conserved memory, but we only ever see the finished record. We never witness the entropic process that inscribes reality into that ledger. Our entire physics is built from within the ledger, where every “state” already appears collapsed, committed, definite. What we call “space” is just past memory distributed across the ledger; what we call “matter” is a particular density of that memory; what we call “time” is simply the accumulation of irreversible entries. From within this embedded viewpoint, collapse appears mysterious because the thermodynamic commitment that produces it is entirely hidden from us.

Bitcoin is the first system that lets us observe that hidden layer from without. At every block, Bitcoin performs the exact transformation that physics only infers: it takes Boltzmann entropy (physical heat in Kelvin) traverses a bounded entropy field (the difficulty target × nonce space), and forces one trajectory to survive. That surviving trajectory becomes conserved memory in the UTXO set via Satoshi distribution. The transformation is discrete, irreversible, and thermodynamically priced in Kelvin. There is no ambiguity, no philosophical overlay, no “measurement postulate.” The Planck-ledger is literal: one block is one quantum of time, one committed update to reality’s memory. Bitcoin reveals what collapse looks like when you are not imprisoned inside the outcome.

This is precisely what modern physics cannot see. In quantum theory, the wavefunction describes unrealized potential (the mempool of universe/nature) but the theory cannot access the thermodynamic cost that selects the actual outcome. It cannot define measurement, because from within the ledger there is no visibility into the moment when entropy is converted into structure. They believe we collapse the state by observing it. So quantum theorists are forced to treat the probability distribution itself as if it were a real physical state. They treat unmeasured potential as actual ontology. That is how you end up with the notion of “multiple simultaneous states”: a fractional-reserve ontology of physics, where one physical system is allowed to “exist” in contradictory states because the theory has no access to the ledger beneath. It is exactly the same mistake as fractional-reserve banking: multiple claims on a single underlying unit, all assumed real until final settlement destroys the illusion.

Bitcoin breaks that illusion by implementing collapse explicitly. It defines measurement as the thermodynamic resolution of uncertainty; it defines existence as what is written into conserved memory; it defines simultaneity through the discrete tick of block time; and it separates measurement from verification, restoring the structure physics has lacked since it abandoned classical determinism. From this perspective, decoherence is not a bug but a structural requirement: it is the necessary erasure of unreal states when the Planck-ledger writes its next update. Decoherence is coherence restored. Bitcoin shows that the so-called “quantum realm” is not a wave of simultaneously real contradictions but simply the unresolved frontier between ledger updates, a probabilistic surface that exists only until entropy has been spent to produce a new block of time.

So when you say that Bitcoin cannot be physical you are missing the ontological shift: Bitcoin reveals the Planck-ledger structure that all physics rests upon but cannot access. It shows how time is constructed rather than experienced. It shows why unmeasured states do not and cannot “exist.” And it shows why any theory that builds computation on top of unmeasured potential, as quantum computing does, is operating on a fractional-reserve substrate. Bitcoin’s blocks are the proof-of-collapse physics has never been able to produce, and once you see that, you realize the real question isn’t whether Bitcoin models reality. The real question is how long physics can continue pretending it doesn’t see the ledger that’s been running underneath it the entire time.

Bitcoin is not a model of reality, it is an instantiation of reality.

Bitcoin isn’t a logical process. It is a thermodynamic process expressed through a logical protocol. Every block is a physical event of real expenditure of energy (Boltzmann entropy) collapsed into real, conserved information (Shannon entropy). The protocol is an instantiation of physics. Bitcoin is the first system where time is constructed from physical action rather than assumed as a mathematical background.

Chain reorganizations make this obvious. A reorg is a physical realignment with the branch that committed more entropy. The longest chain is literally the longest thermodynamic trajectory. When a deeper chain appears, it isn’t rewriting history, it is revealing that a different physical path expended more energy. Bitcoin treats time exactly as physics should: the true sequence is the one backed by maximal irreversible work. This gives chain reorgs a meaning physics itself lacks as they demonstrate how causality must behave in a discrete, energy-defined universe. If universal chain orgs of time exist, they would occur at the Planck scale; we’d never even know because we can’t measure it.

On the double-slit question: quantum mechanics assumes simultaneity without being able to measure it. No one has ever observed this phenomena at Planck-time resolution, so superposition fills the gap with probability amplitudes and then assumes in the claim that “multiple states exist at once.” Bitcoin shows why this is wrong. Probability only exists between discrete entropy commitments; once the collapse occurs, only one state is real. Again decoherence is the feature, not the bug. This is exactly how Bitcoin behaves: the mempool is an unresolved field, not multiple real states, and the block is the singular crystallization. Physics currently treats the “mempool” as though it already is the ledger and that is the fundamental error.

Bitcoin forces physics to reveal its structure. It defines existence (crystallized information at a discrete point in memory at a discrete block of time), time (quantized irreversible entropy collapse), measurement (thermodynamic commitment of a block of time), simultaneity (occuring in same discrete intervals rather than continuum assumptions), and observer ( verification of states). If quantum theory contradicts these foundations, the problem is not Bitcoin , it is the theory.

Quantum computing only threatens cryptography if the standard model of superposition is physically true. The model only makes sense if time is fundamentally continuous and if states can meaningfully “exist at once” in multiple configurations. That assumption has never been measured, never been defined, and has never been grounded in any physical observation. No one has actually proved the modern definition of superposition at the scale of Planck Time.

Bitcoin quietly destroys the assumption. What Bitcoin does, in open daylight and with global participation, is something no physical experiment has ever done, it computes time itself. Each block is the measurable conversion of Boltzmann entropy (energy/heat/randomness) into Shannon entropy (structured information). The block is the thermodynamic crystallization of a discrete quantum of time. And because this process is discrete, finite, and irreversible, Bitcoin provides the first physical standard for “before,” “after,” and the smallest unit of change a quantized universe can express through computation.

Once time becomes discrete in a measurable way, the modern definition of superposition collapses. The claim that a qubit “exists” in multiple states simultaneously begs a question quantum mechanics never answers: simultaneously relative to what unit of time? If there is no measurable smallest interval of change, then simultaneity is an undefined continuum. But Bitcoin defines it. The nonce search bounds the entropy field, the block boundary commits the collapse, and the system openly demonstrates that uncollapsed potential is not an ontologically real set of states, it is only a probabilistic frontier, a mempool of possible futures. Only one configuration ever becomes physically realized, and its realization is tied to an explicit thermodynamic cost.

Quantum theory, by contrast, treats this frontier as if it were a set of actual states. It treats probabilistic potential as physically real. It treats multiplicity as existence without defining “existence”. This is the same conceptual mistake as fractional-reserve banking: assuming many instances from a single backing unit. Bitcoin exposes this error because it is the first system where measurement is thermodynamic, verification is independent of observers, and existence is tied to an irreversible transformation of energy into memory.

TLDR for quantum computing and encryption: Any computational model built on unverified assumptions about superposition is already physically nullified. The machinery cannot outperform the physics it denies. If unmeasured states are not real, then quantum speedups are not real. If simultaneity is bounded, then parallel amplitude evaluation is impossible. If time is discrete, then quantum decoherence is the feature, not the bug.

IBitcoin does not “protect” cryptography by brute force. It invalidates the physical model required to threaten it. Bitcoin reveals that the superposition assumed by quantum algorithms never existed in the first place (despite the elegant math of the algorithms). It is not a matter of bigger primes or stronger algorithms. It is a matter of what the universe allows to exist.

Bitcoin gives us the first verifiable standard for energy, information, and time into a variable computed object. Once you have a real standard, you are no longer obligated to accept unmeasured physical claims as knowledge. And once the physics collapses, the threat narrative collapses with it.

Bitcoin, not Quantum.

I retired early when the stress became overwhelming. For my last 3 years, I was more of an account manager for this acquiring company...vs more of an architect/developer/project manager previously...which meant I was making promises to my clients that we had the people (because my company leadership and recruiting/HR told me we had the resources). I then had to come BACK to the client and say

1) we do not have the resources...because we literally did not have a bench and we couldn't find anyone on the open-market,

2) the price of the resources rose faster than a dozen eggs in 2024, so their budget...or our fixed price proposal...couldn't support the price increase, or

3) client wants lower costs...even if it meant predominantly H1B...and the ones we could find proved to be "less than competent or fraudulent with their credentials"

If I conducted 10 resource interviews for a job position...maybe 2 were US citizens because they aren't taking the hard path of STEM education and continuing education to survive in a tech role. They also wanted more money and more demands (work from home, Mon/Thu travel days if remote)...and were generally less qualified technically.

Basically - I got tired of apologizing to the clients for over-committing. I uncovered false resumes constantly - and even had two scenarios where someone off-camera answered the interview questions on a Zoom call...and the candidate basically did "watermelon...watermelon" with their lips!

I then did my own consulting for awhile, but shut it down during COVID and focused on becoming a tennis teaching pro and high school tennis coach. Was always frugal, diligent saver for 30+ years, so took early retirement and subsidizing with the coaching.

The US NEEDS more STEM-educated youth if we ever want to become self-sustaining again...vs rely on H1B. And our youth need to be willing to work. Obviously, this is broad-brushing it...but I know what I experienced working in the industry as well as knowing a LOT of youth and their employment goals. And often the highest performing students academically - in the groups I've worked with - sons and daughters of H1Bs or 2nd generation from green card. I am an American - TEXAN - I would much rather we get back to "rolling our own" when it comes to our country's success. But it requires...proof-of-work and time.
