Crazy in 2014 😦


WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN THIS CYCLE FAM.

THIS ISN'T EVEN THE FIRST INNING.

IT IS THE DAY BEFORE THE GAME.

THE SUITS STILL THINK WE ARE GOING TO SELL INTO THE PUMP. THEY DONT REALIZE WE ARE BUILT DIFFERENT. THEY DONT REALIZE BITCOIN IS A COMPLETE PARADIGM SHIFT.


9 CLUES YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF SATOSHI NAKAMOTO

GROUND ZERO: LONDON 🇬🇧

The headline in block 0 has a different wording than the version published online.

The phrasing matches the print edition, which was only available in England and Brussels on that day.

Either Satoshi was there, or someone sent him a photo (leaving a trace).

THE BELGIAN CONNECTION 🇧🇪

The 2nd citation in the whitepaper from 2008 didn’t exist online—it was only in print. It was given to attendees at a 1999 conference in Haasrode, Belgium.

This paper is from Benelux universities. It was even presented in 1999 at Stanford, but with a different reference list than the one replicated in the whitepaper (citations 3, 4, and 5).

HAL WAS RUNNING 🏃♂

Hal Finney is a frequent suspect, but his family has strongly denied it.

On the morning of Saturday, 4/18/09, he was running a half marathon while Satoshi was exchanging emails (more than one, with questions and answers) with developer Mike Hearn.

THE LOS ANGELES IP 📍

Satoshi was in L.A. a week after the genesis block.

He always used Tor to hide his IP when online.

But in the beginning, Bitcoin didn’t have addresses. To send/receive, one’s IP was exposed. And on 1/10/09, Hal published a log showing Satoshi's IP.

THE FINAL CITATION 📜

The paper’s bibliography is outdated and brief.

Notably, the 8th citation stands out: a "book X" on probability theory, published in 1957.

Where did Satoshi find this book?

Why cite it, but make no mention of Chaum, Finney, or Szabo?

CARIBBEAN HOLIDAY 🏖

Peter Thiel, PayPal magnate, suspects that Satoshi might have been among the 140 attendees at a financial cryptography conference held at the InterIslands Hotel in Anguilla, February 21-24, 2000.

E-gold was one of the event’s sponsors.

BRITISH "LOOSE" LANGUAGE 👅

Satoshi heavily used British expressions ("bloody hard," "defenCe," "grEy," "coloUr").
He used the European date format (dd/mm/yyyy).
He frequently referenced the Euro.

In some cases, he seemed to use a grammar checker.

He also put two spaces after periods.

WEALTHY FRIENDS 🤑

In the latest emails revealed by Martti Malmi, it’s clear that Satoshi had access to resources to fund the development of #BTC.

He claimed it was donations. So, there were people he was talking to about the project. Or it was his own money...

https://image.nostr.build/6221f535e15842337fc8b8b2004d44288867df9e66282fd05a8b29694608db22.png

A PLANNED DEPARTURE 👋

The creator's disappearance may seem abrupt. Satoshi said goodbye as soon as he learned about Gavin A.'s discussions with the CIA.

But his departure was planned and gradual.

Satoshi gradually shut down his hashrate in 4 stages—when the network was already running on its own.

https://image.nostr.build/d323d27d1d484dfcad4bbf8e335a9d92cd648a529bfae151cc93416ede81e1e9.jpg

His self-declared birthday, 4/5/75, has digits that sum to 21 (5 + 4 + 7 + 5).

The date of block #1, 1/9/2009, also sums to 21 (9 + 1 + 2 + 9).

The halving happens every 210,000 blocks.

Until the 21 million #Bitcoin are exhausted, in 2140.

Absolute scarcity cannot be engineered in the open. It needs to sneak up on us. Grow roots in obscurity.

Organic decentralization.

Its true power and promise slowly unveiled. Until all of a sudden it is apparent. Non negotiable.

We had one shot, and it worked.

Trump said that #Bitcoin is not an enemy of the dollar. Factually false.

Every single time you buy bitcoin with dollars you are actively shorting the dollar.

Bitcoin is the number one enemy of fiat currencies. And so it’s the number one enemy of the number one fiat currency.

Inflation and years in which your purchasing power is halved:

2 %        35 years (The goal)
4 %        17 years
7 %        10 years (Officially we here)
10 %        7 years
14 %        5 years (In truth)
17 %        4 years
20 %     3.5 years

Inflation is theft.

Growing up as an Italian girl I dreamed about winning a green card to have a bright future in the land of the free.

It turned out I was lucky... not getting one.


Climate change is one of the biggest hoaxes ever created, with the sole purpose of collecting more taxes and increasing social control.

However, there are other environmental factors that directly affect our planet, and that on the contrary do not receive enough attention, simply because our politicians do not give a shit, most of them have never even gone hiking or climbed a mountain or been in contact with nature.

These factors are:

- The indiscriminate use of plastics, especially in food, which affect both the ecosystem in the form of waste, and people's health by affecting the endocrine system and also by being potentially carcinogenic.

- Environmental pollution by chemicals, both chemicals generated or used in industrial processes and chemicals used in agriculture, such as herbicides or insecticides.

-The reduction of biodiversity, generated both by the two aforementioned factors and by the direct action of man by destroying ecosystems and poaching.

But as I say, this does not matter, it is more important the co2, the gas of life.


Privacy is not a crime.


Privacy is normal and good.

There has been an effort among authorities to make “money laundering” and “financial privacy” the same thing. That is, the mere act of moving money privately itself becomes a crime. That’s not okay.

Money laundering is when money that is obtained through crime is concealed by obfuscating it with clean money. The actual crime is the initial non-financial crime (say, mob stuff), and historically money laundering involves manual activity to work with the criminals.

Now that open source tech can make certain transactions private, authorities increasingly equate all private money transfer with money laundering, even if the developer of the open source tech had no direct involvement with criminals. Authorities target them regardless, and sanction the technology itself. Financial privacy becomes synonymous with crime in their minds, and in the minds of the public.

GM☕ Good times for #utxosconsolidation


Normal is working for +40 years in a job you don’t absolutely hate. Normal is to accept the governments 2% view on inflation when its clearly +15%. Normal is to look rich and be broke, to impress people you don’t care.

Normalcy is the rate race, modern-day slavery. Fuck normal.


#Bitcoin  is fuck-you money because you can go wherever and whenever the fuck you want.

Just remember, 12/24 words and you're gone. That freedom alone is worth at least $1 million, especially in the dystopian future we're heading towards.


When I listened to this episode of Joe Rogan with Andreas Antonopolous in 2016 it made sense because I was new to #Bitcoin

But now in 2024 we all can see that Andreas was 100% right. This is exactly what's happening in our society right now.
