I mined block 70-something, and I was the recipient of the first #Bitcoin transaction when Satoshi sent ten coins to me as a test — I carried on an email conversation with #Satoshi over the next few days, mostly me reporting bugs and him fixing them.

Hal Finney was the first person to support and help Satoshi Nakamoto. He also contributed code in 2008 and early 2009, before it was released to the public in January 2009. Hal also went down in history as the receiver of the first Bitcoin transaction, in which Satoshi Nakamoto sent him 10 #BTC. #nostr

Nick Szabo: "#Monero is a very good privacy complement to #Bitcoin, they are both good money."
I love Monero. And yes, you are correct. Even Nick Szabo said "Monero is a very good privacy complement to Bitcoin, they are both good money."
#Bitcoin history they do not want you newbies to know
August 15 2010 184,000,000,000 #Bitcoin have just appeared out of thin air.
#Bitcoin only matters
I used to have a personal emotional attachment to #Ethereum. Their leadership needs to be more knowledgeable and mindful of the fundamental aspects that make blockchains, #cryptography, and #smartcontracts beneficial to a free society. While some may not intend to be malicious, it takes outsiders time to recognize the issues. The evidence is now undeniable that, on the one hand, they claim immutability and censorship resistance, but on the other hand, they attack principles of trust minimization. They also claim to be decentralized, but they are becoming the international banking system's cartel coin. In this elitist coin, only 1 percent can stake it individually at home, while big corporations are the main winners in Ethereum staking rewards and are the go to for the creation of CBCD.

I highly doubt CIA created Bitcoin. Have been in Bitcoin since 2011, it is likely Bitcoin was created at MIT. As for Jay Z and Jack being demons, doubt that, both men donated 500 Bitcoin each to fund economic growth, education, and clean water technologies for African narions.
We Are All Satoshi translates to "out of many, one" and "new order of the ages". Both mottos are #American great seals. #Bitcoin #nostr
#Bitcoin is metaphorically engraved on the Great Seal of the United States along with the phrases 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' and 'E Pluribus Unum'. #Bitcoin #Nostr
I have been captivated by #Bitcoin since it was introduced. I find everything about it to be valuable. The shadow banking system, the Federal Reserve, fiat currency, and the US debt, which has now surpassed 34 trillion, have all contributed to the decline of the United States Dollar, a once strong currency backed by gold. These failed systems have caused significant damage to my country and our people. Bitcoin is incomparable, and nothing can replicate it. It is the standard for monetary assets. As time goes by, I plan to invest more heavily in Bitcoin, purchase Bitcoin ETFs, and continue down this path. I am also focused on bringing distributed ledger technologies to the Bitcoin #Blockchain on layers of Bitcoin. Unfortunately, some individuals label me as a "shitcoiner" without comprehending the distinction between Bitcoin as an asset and Bitcoin as a blockchain. We are witnessing virtual machines being added to Bitcoin on layers, DeFi TVL reaching billions, Ordinals, BitVM, rollups, zero-knowledge proofs, and of course, #Nostr. This is only the beginning.

#Bitcoin #nostr
Jack Dorsey in a public interview discussing #nostr said that #Bitcoin payments “will grow faster with zaps and the fact we finally have global permissionless payments on the internet.”
Edward Snowden tweeted that “unlike the old social media ‘platforms’ where the platform-owner (FB, Tiktok, Twitter) gets to decide who can speak—and what can be heard—#nostr is an open protocol.”
#nostr is legit but way to many weird odd anonymous profile accounts. This will hinder growth.
When #Bitcoin flips the total market cap of #Gold (estimated 12 Trillion), all hell will breaks loose. #nostr
I officially sunset my twitter aka X account. Will be focused on #nostr #Bitcoin

Good suggestion. I made the B slightly lighter and the background slightly darker. Very slightly. The foreground is now exactly the same colour as the BC in the old one.
It's kind of OK if you can't easily read the B in the 16x16. At that size, you just need to see that it's a coin. It doesn't matter so much what's embossed on it, just that there be some detail there because it wouldn't look like a coin if it was a blank smooth circle.
It's slightly wider than tall because the dark perspective under it goes more to the right than down.
I finished and posted the 32x31 and 48x47 versions in the first message. I like the 48 a lot.
How does everyone feel about the B symbol with the two lines through the outside? Can we live with that as our logo?
