Today I'm celebrating 11 years with my wife! Being married to a freedom loving bitcoiner is the best.

We worked together at Blockchain(dot)info as the first two employees for 5 years. Anyone who has ever worked for a startup knows how crazy it can be, especially the early days. It's not a 9-5, it's a 24/7.

We've watched Bitcoin go from < $10 ancap money to what it is today. We couldn't have made it through all those ups and downs without being aligned philosophically.

It's not all about Bitcoin, of course, but the freedom movement is how we met. It started with that foundation and grew into a deep bond.

Here's to the next 11 years, and many more after! 🥂

Ireland 🇮🇪: Around 2000 farmers started protests this Friday (14) against government plans to slaughter 200 thousand cows, which are intended to reduce emissions that contribute to climate change.

that's the end game.

$1M, $10M or $100M. It doesn’t matter. If you sell your #bitcoin for fiat you’ve not understood it.

Zaps are cool but y'all are cheapskates.

How many of y’all use multiple Nostr apps? Which do you like most & do you think it makes sense to double up? 🤔

Buy as much bitcoin as you can while boomers still misunderstand it.

I think this is a semantic disagreement. All I’m arguing is that you can have less new demand than currently exists for Bitcoin, and still have higher Bitcoin prices due to its supply inelasticity.

Decelerating supply over time.

The block subsidy in 2052 will be about half of one of my current paychecks. Even assuming that there are zero new Bitcoiners after today, the price will still have to experience a massive correction upwards to deal with that supply reality.

And although I won’t live to see it, there will be a day when the last sat is mined.

Demand technically doesn’t need to increase (although it will).

Since the supply is perfectly fixed (inelastic) the price will eventually have to adjust up even on current levels of demand (or lower!)

Although this obviously wouldn’t be as meaningful, given enough time a small group of economic actors could push Bitcoin into being the largest monetary asset in the world all on their own, no additional users needed.

The US dollar decreases your purchasing power over time, because that’s what the US dollar network is designed to do.

#Bitcoin increases your purchasing power over time, because that’s what the Bitcoin network is designed to do.

Choose wisely.

When elon says he will "protect anons" he means doing identity verification on every user and trusting him to protect user privacy.

The data will inevitably be shared, sold, or leaked.

Nostr fixes this.

I'm big on Twitter

What is the appropriate zap amount for bitcoiners?

Which one?

What advice do you have for someone in their 20s? 🤔🧠

@e7eb4e8f: That scenario you mentioned seems to be a Nostr address. Can you provide more context or details about what would happen under that scenario?

Imagine your government built upon open protocols that they can’t own, control, or manipulate…every interaction visible to all. What changes? What fails?
