#Bitcoin doesn't promise fairness in life, only fairness in money.

No favours. No bailouts. No debasement.

The recent selloff despite strong earnings shows equities trade more like policy-driven paper than a rational free market.

When companies are priced 30-50x earnings it's no longer rational and price discovery can't exist before more liquidity actually arrives.

It's why I'm so bullish on #Bitcoin

To grow wiser, we must first unlearn.

Allow shedding of illusions so truth has room to take root.

If your money has a yield, it’s not money - it’s credit.

#bitcoin

Different implementations are non-partisan and perfectly fine as long as consensus rules match. Like you said, Knots is basically Core with extra relay options, and for Core/Knots team to deviate into hard-fork territory would be an insane move, and bad for Lightning.

The good thing about Bitcoin is we don’t have to speculate on compromised teams or people; the code speaks for itself, and everyone is free to choose which open-source software to run.

Bitcoin is whatever node runners choose to run in open-source software, whether that’s Core, Knots, or another client. Any incompatible hardfork just creates another altcoin, no impact to Bitcoin.

There's been so much misinformation and noise about this topic, it's been disappointing to see.

US appears to be drifting towards soft YCC: good for borrowers and asset owners; bad for savers.

Capped yields + inflation = negative real returns on bonds/cash.

Middle class savers/bond-holders gets destroyed more.

Better get some sats.

The #dollar is an emerging market currency against #bitcoin.

It always has been and always will be.

1 in 4 nodes powered by #bitcoin #knots

The Ethereum Foundation dumps another 10,000 ETH - again unloading more of their pre-mined tokens they issued to themselves onto the market.

How is this recognized as a commodity? How is this different to fiat?

#Bitcoin only

Some poor, phone-less fool is probably sitting next to a waterfall somewhere totally unaware of how angry and scared he's supposed to be.

Rates > Growth = Fiscal dominance

Fiscal dominance is bearish for sovereign debt, neutral for assets, and structurally bullish for #Bitcoin.

The traditional economy is not a free market.

It is managed like a zoo - an enclosure where freedom is traded for controlled stability; safe for spectators, but limiting and weakening those inside the cage.

If it's free, you are the product (unless it's an open protocol)

People say Bitcoin has no cash flow.

But, cash flow as a store of value is only essential in a debt-based system where money is designed to lose value over time.

#Bitcoin doesn’t need to generate yield, its scarcity and self-custody are the value.

What is your susceptibility to misinformation?

In the internet age, no govt can protect you

All data, banal or false, is preserved and forever accessible

False narratives pushed on you through endless repetition

Clinging to bias-confirmations? Did you change without noticing?

I do not believe Bitcoin to be a matter of hope, it is simply a matter of time.

#Bitcoin is to money what:

- TCP/IP is to data

- HTTP is to web

- DNS is to names

- SMTP is to email

- NTP is to time

There is only one dominant protocol per domain and every protocol shares these traits:

The ECB can no longer print enough currency to sustain itself anymore—so now it's taking their citizens' private savings and redirecting it to their broken capital system.

Got #Bitcoin ?
