Unicoin sounds like bitcoin is winning.
Give a big welcome to @aantonop!
Researching here for his book "Mastering Nostr".
I'm actually waiting to hear a half convincing non monetary use case from him but his best one is "maybe something comes up so it's worth experimenting". Lol.
Why did everyone fall out with Anton? I know it was for shitcoinery but I'm currently watching through a bunch of his videos and so far he seems to be very "bitcoin is money, eth isn't".
I have 2 btc on Coinbase and send them to 2 separate addresses. How on earth can they know they are both mine without asking Coinbase? Seems fishy.
According to Glassnode there are only about 31k whole coiners.
That's an entity adjusted number and I haven't got a clue how they can work it out, but if it's anywhere near true then we are even earlier than I thought.
BULLISH!
Silly idea, It'll never work.
Coinbase only has about 200 Bitcoin in volume per day in the UK. 😂
"Bitcoin generates a lot of excitement but I don't really care about censorship resistance, programmatic monetary policy or a supply cap and a lot of people getting involved don't seem to either, so I think I'll create Ethereum" - someone, circa 2013
Howard Marks (Oak tree capital) will buy Bitcoin. This guy is as humble and open to seeing his biases as they come, much moreso than Dalio.
AUM $164B
Talks quite nicely about Bitcoin and a relative who spoke to him about Bitcoin.
Written in 1770.

Lol.
Bitcoin magazine first issue
Nft of the cover - 10 Bitcoin
The actual magazine - 0.08 Bitcoin
NFTs of digital art are potentially infinite representations of potentially infinite jpeg files. 😂

So nfts, a fiat currency derivative, gold or a real estate claim, rely on a central authority being trusted to either keep a database or a stock of whatever physical thing it is meant to represent in the real world.
We've reintroduced the need for a central third party.
What's gained? The ability to transfer things 24/7 and potentially in smaller fractions?
Well yes, but this could all be done on a website that refers to a database. The only difference seems to be that they can pretend to be like Bitcoin and it takes two short notes to think through the difference.

Bitcoins are internal to the system, and issued according to a schedule and rules.
NFT's (or anything else) are not. You can't put something into it and exclude other people from putting the same something into it.
It's pretty simple. You can't achieve digital scarcity that way.
Came for the greed
Stayed bc 70% dd
... and then it'll eventually be called bits. Inevitable.
...But the quality is much better than it was two years ago.
Hehe, little does he know...
