Your perception of my negativity is actually me holding a healthy level of pragmatism around ETFs vulnerability as an attack vector. We will bear witness to a vast array of rugging in the paper Bitcoin sector independent of any issues around centralisation of custody.
I'm super honored to join ego death capital as a GP.
Our core thesis is that #Bitcoin is different than everything else.
It's different because at the base, bedrock layer, Bitcoin is optimized for security and decentralization. In order to do that, scalability must be maximized on the 2nd and 3rd layers, etc. IMHO, anyone building on a different protocol at the base layer is building on top of sand.
As we look at the companies building the future of finance, we are hyper-focused, on humble, thoughtful, & constructive leaders that bring unlocked efficiencies and value to their customers and constituents.

Is this still 'exclusive' to approved investors only?
So proud of this push back. nostr:note10w6rtnc0u0f8gts62q52fnqvulcaldv0z5ghchkvl6tkxhfd6spqvem4sv
I'm fucking tired of juvenile bitcoiners who think yelling 'but we are all psychopaths!!' on the internet can solve every problem #bitcoin faces. This has never been true. Many times we need to talk through threat vectors and respond with technical and strategic responses that protect its long term futures.
As if Minority Report isn't going to become part of our dystopian reality.
What? You didn't think they would come for our breathing too? 😂
This isn't really useful information though as there are numerous legal ways to walk around this tax. It's been written in a way to explicitly allow for this. At the end of the day Portugal wants to walk and chew gum here - simultaneously appeasing EU while remaining attractive to foreign investment. The legislation is written as such.
Although you might be right on the exit tax!
I call absolute bullshit Marie 🤣
Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👏👏👏
You don't need people like me if Blackrock holds a material share of #bitcoin. It doesn't matter that they can't control consensus etc. They will use NGU to choke society in every other way.
That's not a future worth fighting for and we are not the same.
It's almost enough for me to quit #bitcoin. If Blackrock becomes the underpinning primary holder in the network then I'm out.
I'm not building something on behalf of Blackrock.
Everything that is happening right now regarding ETFs is the ABSOLUTE antithesis of everything #bitcoin once stood for.
I'm happy to walk away from #bitcoin because my vision for a new monetary system transcends this nonsense.
And your question about motivation: I think anti-sybil is going to prove to be a crucial property for these anonymous systems using bitcoin (most importantly, Lightning: see, jamming attacks). I discussed this a fair bit in this talk: https://pretalx.com/adopting-bitcoin-2022/talk/RVFS9C/
Thanks I will go watch. 👍🏻
Hey nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z can you actually believe how epicly ignorant Elon Musk is regarding not just #bitcoin but the overall need for a renewed monetary base. I get that his mental load is maxed out in other areas but he continues to want to lecture the world on finance when he clearly hasn't done the work on bitcoin.
Unreal.
