 Facts 
 the stay humble part happens to everyone eventually 
 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 
 Yestr 
 If you can say, "I was wrong," you can understand Bitcoin. 
 Fred Krueger also argues we need to increase the block size 
 And then there are people who think a “strategic Bitcoin reserve” helps …. 
 Great response! 
 Exactly 
 I don't believe it is [merit based] success or simple ego, though ego plays into it.  To me the more UHNWI people are with cantillionaire connections and benefits from its effects, the less likely they are to see Bitcoin as worth pursuing from a speculative consideration (in the past, not enough liquidity), and they most assuredly haven't done the work to fundamentally understand how it works and why it can't be replaced.  Even Michael Saylor took several years to change his position on Bitcoin.  The ability to reassess and change one's position once they have new data, and even the pursuit to understand vs accept simple bullet points handed to them at face value is a key attribute of merit based leaders vs appointed management of the ruling class. 
 edu & time     Bitcoin timechain! 
 I'm the humblest guy you will ever meet 

I got a gold medal at the 1976 Olympics in humility 
 Good point! Bitcoin only demands humility. It’s not about success. 
 stay humble stack sats
best advice ever 
 kill yourself 
 Elons a fed

Horowitz doesn’t want to understand 

Trump only benefits from Bitcoiner votes, not learning about or understanding Bitcoin 
 🎯 
 You need to be humble to understand bitcoin  
 Elon has a huge ego. He hardly ever mentions his employees when people credit him with success of his companies but the fact is he couldn’t do it without his first hires. 
 The most expensive ego test 
 laser eyes laugh Liota 
 could it be that they see the risk of code bugs with #bitcoin? 
 @Jeff Booth  @LynAlden @preston with ego death capital are exemplars of this approach 🙏🏻 
 🙏 
 🙏🏻 
 @jack understands #Bitcoin perfectly. 
 He had the best teacher you could possibly hope for. Not many people come home to find Andreas Antonopoulos sitting in their living room chatting with their dad. 
  @LynAlden  bc0z  they d0n't understand natUre,  try 2 negate it.

sUn does the POW supply photons  &  time stamps dna s0urce c0de of every  life f0rms +  txs at @sUnrise every morning  4 diurnals  & at @sUnset every evening  4 n0cturnals.

we ar just a node in the chain 0f creati0n & we blindly f0llow the pied piper$ wit n0 reas0ning.

 Good 1. I'm thinking, you're talking...  
 Musk can’t afford to understand Bitcoin as all his ventures are subsidised by the US Dollar. 
 Fred is an idiot. 
 Bitcoin is once again making big moves, surging to $69,588 on July 29, 2024. The cryptocurrency is now just 6% shy of its all-time high set in March.


This rally comes after surprising political developments and shifting economic indicators.

 Yo! Please add support to read NFC tags (bolt cards, LNURLw, LURLp..) on Strike and also to write a NFC tags with a LN Address https://image.nostr.build/136e4d7c80fbd76bffd6150e5361ddf2b648a015a27f09eb6c764c29b50e468a.jpg https://image.nostr.build/0376033ad883cc8ebf55dd7c55559baeabbf130adddea732a8417670961dde5b.jpg  
 Maller's gets it. Who is the issue. 

There is no amount of intelligence that can't be overcome by arrogance.

 BET KRUEGER GETS REKT THIS CYCLE. 
 Nah he would be the last person of his caliber to get rekt. 
 LMFAO THE ONLY REASON THIS GUY DIDNT GET REKT ON BLOCKFI LAST CYCLE WAS BECAUSE HE DIDNT KNOW BITCOIN EXISTED. 
 Well he first bought bitcoin from Mt Gox in 2013, so idk about that reasoning. 
 IDIOT 
 I think you should be more generous towards Trump. If Kamala Harris comes to power, the USA will continue the same path Venezuela took 23 years ago. This will be soul crushing for people like you. It will be soul crushing for everybody because that is what marxism does to people. 
So Please be more openly supportive of Trump. #OrangeManGood 
 Yeah, sure... That's why BankSters and big mutual funds like BlackRock are investing in Bitcoin, per ego 😏

 Ego is when maxis scream how much Bitcoin they own and how much they have earned and can buy their lambo. 
Those are the ones who don't understand Bitcoin.

The bankers do understand it, that's why they are co-opting it with their financial products.

 Marc Andressen 100% understands it 
 agreed, it does seem like RFK might actually get bitcoin though? 
 The humility to understand: Bitcoin scales through custodial solutions, offers no privacy and Bitcoiners are building exactly what they are afraid of:

The CBDC. 
 Takes a little curiosity I’d add also 
Maybe open mindedness as well? 
 It’s true. The biggest impediment to understanding Monero is not intelligence. It’s ego.

You have to re-assess something you previously dismissed. You have to buy in late compared to what you could have done earlier, and accept that. You have to embrace the fact that you are but a tiny node on a network that nobody controls.
