Bitcoin is trust-minimized, not trustless. Verification reduces reliance on trust in systems but societies still need trust between people. Verified systems can’t replace human relationships, social norms, or moral judgment. Both are essential

Satoshi determined everything including the supply schedule, the issuance rules, the cap. That is issuing power. The difference is: he then gave up control. We just follow the rules he embedded. It’s rule-based issuance, not authority-based.

Are the next 10% of people adopting bitcoin cypherpunks?

Not much going in at Nostr?!

If—by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Short term impact of #tariffs

– Equities crash

– Companies pass on tariffs to customers → consumer prices spike

– Supply chains scramble → delays and uncertainty

– Inflation fears rise → central banks may hesitate on rate cuts

– Allies threaten retaliation → geopolitical tensions flare

What did I miss?

#Bitcoin doesn’t engage in battles. It renders them obsolete. By operating independently of centralized control, it eliminates the need for conflict, prompting those who rely on control to resort to censorship.

Bitcoin Bull Run - In the air tonight

Trump will also have a lot of time sailing if he continues to crash the stock market and kick bitcoiners in the nuts with his shitcoin shoes

Did you vote for Trump?

Let’s eliminate 10 trillion on wealth to collect 600 billion in tariffs 💡
