Fun fact, us Brits invented the Internet as well as the World Wide Web ๐Ÿ˜‚

ARPANET, the first iteration of the Internet was devised in the early 60's and launched in 1969.

So my discovery of it in 1989 was actually pretty late.

I was late to Bitcoin too, but when I finally understood it, I realised history was repeating itself.

That's why I know Bitcoin is going to win. I've done this all before.

No, I had no idea what I was looking at, I saw the Internet from college campus in 1989 and thought they were using modems to dial into a server in the U.S.

It was a few months later when I realised a protocol I was researching to use on our LAN, TCP/IP was what the college tutor was talking about.

There was no Internet to use to research, so I relied on a BBS called CIX (CompuLink Information Exchange). I met the head of DEC UK and the head of BT research labs on this BBS who explained it to me.

I wanted to use it to connect our companies 3 mini computers in London, Los Angeles and Tokyo, but commercial traffic was banned, so I joined the campaign to lobby parliament to allow commercial traffic, which was passed a few months later.

I got an Internet connection at work a month later, but couldn't connect to our U.S. or Japan companies as they didn't have access to the Internet, so I turned it commercial and started building data centres to host the servers required due to Tim Berners-Lee inventing the World Wide Web.

I understood its potential from the beginning, but couldn't work out why everybody else thought it was a scam and only used by criminals and pornographers.

Does that seem like a familiar story by any chance? ๐Ÿ˜‚

This is the post on X:

Arkham do work for the CIA and private companies, they pride themselves on diligence.

Saylor won't publish Strategy's Bitcoin addresses, but Arkham did:

Has anybody ever mentioned that you may have a one track mind? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Careful, you'll have someone's eye out with that ๐Ÿ˜‚

Shouldn't it be called NoKey?

No, I'm just an idiot ๐Ÿ˜‚

I know this is a trend, but you do know that semen is kept outside the body in ball sacks to keep cool?

The twins were olympic rowers and are very tall.

It's neither clever or misleading, simply a true statement.

And yes, if I take some code which is built by a group of other people and make changes which I make public and other people support, then this is an extremely valid process.

I sold $TRUMP on the way down for a large profit.

We are all guilty of profiting from shitcoins ๐Ÿ˜‚

If the Strategy meeting doesn't go well, this may very well be true ๐Ÿ˜‚

We know they don't, because Coinbase custody them.

But you could at least have your own account on the Coinbase system and make a request to sign a document with the associated key or move coins between wallet addresses when requested by shareholders.

If you are a normie company that hold some Bitcoin and trust Coinbase to hold them for you, then so be it.

But if you are a Bitcoin company, trusting a third party to hold your coins is not the best strategy.

True story, as a kid visiting Las Vegas with my parents, I had my first Caesar's Salad in Caesar's Palace Hotel, so I assumed it was invented there ๐Ÿ˜‚
