Yep, shitcoiners and big blockers have valid arguments ๐

Bolt cards are a great orange pilling tool ๐
They are trapped in between the fiat system and Bitcoin world.
I still use them to initialise Bolt cards which I give away as Birthday and Christmas presents ๐
We were going to sell our main home, but objected to the estate agent fees so decided to Airbnb it instead.
I think NOSTRโs honeymoon period is over ๐
No, I really donโt.
But thatโs a moot point, because unless we sell the house thatโs the last Bitcoin Iโll be buying.
Iโm all in ๐
You did ๐
I donโt have that luxury ๐ฉ
It comes to something when you have to orange pill the exchange you are buying Bitcoin from ๐
I remember CoinCorner insisted I phone them after buying more than ยฃ1,000 of Bitcoin.
They were concerned I was being scammed.
Turned out the call centre guy was not a Bitcoiner and hadnโt read my book.
I orange pilled and sold a copy of my book that day ๐
Yes, right before he sold all his pre mined coin to start a Bitcoin strategic reserve ๐
Iโve had trouble with Revolut especially in the โCryptoโ part.
If you stick to small numbers theyโre fine. I tried to buy a chunk of Bitcoin with my wifeโs pension payout.
It all went horribly wrong ๐ฉ
I ended up buying it all on Xapo

I live in the grey UK and wear them here on sunny days.
I would literally die if I didn't wear them when I'm in the Caribbean ๐
Also, I don't have any sleep issues.
I also look cool in them (self certified)
They are also baked into my AI avatar, so I am legally required to wear them while shitposting ๐
You probably won't find much excitement on NOSTR ๐
๐A total game changer. I use my bitcoin as collateral for loans with which you can do whatever you want. For example you can use Perps (perpetual trades) with low levarage and make so much USDT with which you can buy zBTC which is 1:1 pegged with bitcoin. I do this and it works very well. https://x.com/zeusnetworkhq/status/1955978281649627224?s=46&t=-Ks4q52A7vJzQnCci96yHw
OK, understood.
Altcoins aside, I'm not an advocate of using Bitcoin as collateral.
That's not to say that you can't make money at an individual level and I don't criticise anybodies personal choices.
I explored it in depth about a year ago when everybody started offering Bitcoin loans. I even wrote an article about it here:

Pretty much.

Yes, I'm thinking Argentina will become the norm. Visiting the bank to swap pesos is fun apparently.
Something to do at the weekend I suppose ๐
Roger, Roger.. We need you... I expect a block size increase might be something to look at in the future if blocks get congested.

You think it a coincidence that the Bitcoin transaction limit is 007 TPS ? ๐
Everything in the fiat system is going to collapse, Bitcoin is going to replace it, in the same way the Internet replaced fax machines.
Until a couple of years ago, Internet fax gateways still existed, however.
Most companies have tangible value and their share price should reflect this, as fiat becomes increasingly unable to do this, share prices will be shown in Sats.
In countries with hyper inflation, such as the Lebanon, people still use the currency on a day to day basis, but as soon as they received payment for their goods, they transfer that local currency into a more stable asset such as dollars, or in the Crypto world, Tether or Bitcoin.
What surprised me about observing these countries is that hyperinflation is no longer an end game, it simply enforces a different coping strategy.
You caught me, I'm more than Roger though, call me Roger Moore ๐
I do like to try to understand Altcoins and the ecosystem and adopters, so I follow a couple of alt advocates.
This video is significant, it not only shows that Bitcoin is the true asset, but it also shows that Altcoins are all about trading and taking profit.
If watching Shitcoiners offends you, don't watch it ๐
Also, everything goes in circles, we are re-fighting the encryption and privacy battles from the 1990's that PGP and Phil Zimmermann won, so many banks will continue to fight this and ultimately loose.
And the path to victory is never smooth.
I think they are advancing.
My bank is Xapo, a Bitcoin bank.
My original bank is Barclays, which is to customers extremely hostile to Bitcoin despite buying it for its own balance sheet.
Game theory wins, you are obliged to play a game that disadvantages you, because not playing it disadvantages you further
Right now, the mempool is mostly empty, you have freedom of choice to use Lightning or mainchain.
Later, who knows.
I recently heard about the Ark protocol, which is an interesting development.
Spam is an opinion. My view is Bitcoin is money, that has nothing to do with cat JPEGs. Others have different opinions.
Blocksize determines transactions per second.
Currently Bitcoin runs at a maximum of around 7 TPS.
You can compare this to the banking system, who make settlements internally mostly using RTGS (Real Time Gross Settlement), this has a max throughput of 9 TPS.
If you want Bitcoin to be the worldโs settlement layer, then its current capacity is sufficient.
If you want the world to use it to settle any transaction size, then 7 TPS will not be enough.
Currently Lightning is good up to about 1M Sats.
RTGS generally operates at millions of dollars.
In the future it is unlikely this gap will reduce as BTC price increases.
I think this is going to be a problem.
You could hear me speak with all that wind? ๐

Wallets come and go, seed phrases are here to stay.
My mate had a seed phrase heโd written down. I loaded it into Sparrow wallet - nothing there. He was sure he had Bitcoin on it, so I loaded the phrase into Atomic wallet.
Turns out heโd bought Bitcoin Cash (BCH) ๐
Did you get a beer? ๐
