"everyone was looking for the next Michael Jordan on the basketball court, but he was walking up the fairway” - Phil Knight of Nike talking about the emergence of Tiger Woods
it feels like there has been a lot of time and energy spent on finding the next Bitcoin, but maybe the similar philosophy, goals, technology, and energy isnt on another blockchain but a different distributed network in nostr
lots of similarities with early bitcoin here.
my main takeaway after attending my first nostr conference
peter schiff wants to debate me on Bitcoin vs Gold. thought he’d never ask.
we were born for these moments, nostr.
holding nothing back. taking no prisoners. let’s fucking go.
Does Bitcoin perform well during crisis? Yes.
Once again, Bitcoin was available when nothing else was. Bitcoin is the only 24/7 free market we have left.
What's the "intrinsic value" of that? Ask those it saved that Sunday night 🙂
Ignore noise. Stay humble and stack 🫡

At Strike, #Bitcoin isn't an investment, it's our benchmark.
Over 80% of our balance sheet is held in #Bitcoin and growing. #Bitcoin keeps us focused on our customers and ensuring we deliver real value to the world.
#Bitcoin is the opportunity cost for every business. Few.

we’re seeing a massive spike in activity on Strike right now, lots of users needing higher ACH limits, lots of users looking to reactivate their account, lots of customers placing large Private orders, etc.
if you, a family member, a friend, a colleague, etc need anything you can always just ping me here. one of the ways we differentiate at Strike is we are Bitcoiners that care deeply about Bitcoiners.
and if you aren’t using Strike give it a try, we’ve come a long way and are more than ready for this bull run. no-fee DCA, target orders, free-on chain payments, some of the cheapest fees, available in 100+ countries, and most importantly our systems were online 100% yesterday. here to serve if you need us 🫡

NY has a special license called the Bitlicense that makes it incredibly difficult to launch in NY. ask the other jack why cash app doesn’t have Lightning in NY after years. same thing. unfortunately nothing we can do, it’s the state of NY that’s preventing us
In crises, markets sell what they can, not what they want.
#Bitcoin is down because it was the only market open to sell on Sunday night, not because the only fixed supply money we have is now less valuable.
#Bitcoin isn't hedging the broken financial system, it's replacing it.

There is no second best.
A deep dive into why there is #Bitcoin and then there is everything else.
My keynote from @BTCPrague
This keynote was inspired by many but I want to give a special shoutout to @Gigi , Jason Lowery, Andrew Poelstra, and Greg Maxwell. Their writings and work was particularly influential.
I’d also like to shoutout the @BTCPrague team. This was one of the best #Bitcoin conferences I’ve ever been to. Thanks so much for having me!
