GM. It’s very likely that Broken Money by nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a is the last book about #bitcoin I’ll ever read. There not much more to say.

Exceptions for technical books if I decide to dive deeper into that.

You can go along with mainstream narratives or you can critically think. But you cannot do both. Choose wisely, as your future depends on it. #Bitcoin.

+7k BTC Net Inflow to ETFs: Fidelity records its biggest inflow yet, while Grayscale sees continued outflows.

My lawyers have just confirmed that Craig Wright has had his final appeal denied by the Supreme Court.

It is over, I won, welcome to law Motherfucker!

So you "sold the news" when billions are about to hit #Bitcoin  on the buy-side?

Brilliant...

I’ve spent a lot of hours analyzing “crypto” and keeping up with the fads, and to this day I still cannot find a problem that I have, and that it can solve.

Bitcoin solves my hard globally-portable savings problem. I don’t see better money than this. And that’s a big problem to solve.

Stablecoins solve some developing market intermediate-term money problems in very inflationary environments as a bridging tool while Bitcoin is still volatile. Okay. That’s big for now.

Digital collectibles are fine. I mean, I have cardboard Magic the Gathering cards worth thousands of dollars. So you buy an ape NFT and get membership to an exclusive ape club (which is like all dudes, nearly entirely devoid of women) and can show your status by displaying your supposedly elite avatar. I do see how there is a nonzero recurring interest in this sort of digital elitist collectible thing. But it doesn’t solve any of my problems or seem to be relevant on the macro scale. A niche thing that doesn’t appeal to me. Like, Pokémon might make a billion dollars but it won’t make a macro-scale trillion dollars.

DeFi is mainly about trading and leveraging worthless tokens. In a world where there are much more real-world tokens involved (eg tokenized Apple stock or whatever), then maybe there is more of a use for that. But until then it’s mainly a circular Ponzi. And even then, that industry is limited.

So almost 15 years into this industry, there have been a handful of interesting experiments, but barely anything other than bitcoin and stablecoins interests me at scale.

Beyond that, it is just things that they can empower.

Nostr, for example, doesn’t need a blockchain. There is no reason to go to the expense to maintain a global state. It certainly is empowered from the fact that Bitcoin and Lightning exist (new good money allows for new good technologies), so it’s a tangential technology.

The vast majority of “crypto” projects either don’t solve a problem, or just solve a smaller niche interest.

what’s the app/site you learn the most from?

An update on this:

We’ve secured the Twitter/C account and removed all malicious posts.

Sorry again and thanks for bearing with us through that nostr:note13lxfhd4dfme97r5ut3fdkce2qmq2ph5tqv0mjunrgq2cxpv4e58q9kkkpx

our goal is simple: make #bitcoin accessible to all and orange pill the world

we do it by expanding globally, building many on/off ramps, owning our infrastructure, fighting FUD and educating the masses

we do it on an open network and with the community

we never stop building

good morning nostr, clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose 🫡

strike’s account tab got an upgrade. check it out 🤙

lightning address is more present, payment methods and settings cleaner, and much more

we think a commitment to design in bitcoin will help adoption in a big way. it will take time, patience, and listening but it will be worth it and very helpful in making bitcoin useful to many

we’re shipping new stuff multiple times a week nowadays, catching a bit of a rhythm. shoutout to the team. lots more coming. let us know what you think!

We are incredibly excited to have Whistleblower & Cybersecurity Expert Edward Snowden headline #Bitcoin Amsterdam 🇳🇱

"#Bitcoin is free money... When I think about liberty, that’s what this is all about. It’s freedom from permission."
