 #Bitcoin at ATH

Trump is leading

Orange coin and man winning 
 Lol remembering that time Germany sold all their Bitcoin for paper they literally print out themselves lmfao 
 Chill weekend hacking out a massive update for @bitcoinkeeper_ 🔐 while everyone’s in Lugano and Atlanta

 Paranoid Crypto Anarchists write code 
 This is almost half a million people actually using #Bitcoin

Absolutely beautiful

 Less movies looking to reveal Satoshi

More movies on how #Bitcoin is changing the world today 
 We shouldn’t be looking for Satoshi

 Inflation “supports” economic growth like tumors support human health

 I love Europe, which is why it’s so sad to see how bureaucrats destroy it

 Regulators will eventually come after all stablecoins until they are as regulated as normal bank accounts

Only Bitcoin can resist this pressure

 I’m really excited to announce that I’m joining the Bitcoin Keeper team as lead developer!

Our goal is to create the best tool for #Bitcoin self-custody, and help our users secure their digital wealth into the future 🔐

We’d also really appreciate any feedback, comments, and suggestions

 Setting up a Bitcoin multisig wallet is already so much easier than opening a bank account 
 Excited to share what I’ve been building recently! 🛠️

I’ve been working with the @bitcoinKeeper_ team to build the new Keeper Desktop app, making connecting your hardware wallets with Keeper’s new version better than ever!

You can check it out here👇

 Balance has been restored to the universe at last

 The biggest challenge of getting people to self custody is not in the user experience, the tech, or the quality of wallets.

The biggest challenge is making people take responsibility for themselves instead of looking to shift it to a trusted 3rd party. 
 Running your own Bitcoin full node is not so hard as people think. It’s really just downloading an app on your computer. 
 Run a full node
Use hardware wallets
Make a multisig
Be happy 
 Just made my first ever PR to a Rust library wish me luck

 Twitter is down

Nostr is never down 
 I heard nostr is where all the cool kids are these days, who’s here?

 should i fly spirit? 
 Probably not if you don’t absolutely have to. 
 Taking a job that requires you not to own Bitcoin sounds like the worst trade anyone can make 
 Politics shouldn’t be such an important part of daily life.

People shouldn’t be asking if the government should do this or that, they should ask why the hell is the government getting involved in the first place. 
 No presidential candidate truly supports #Bitcoin , and even if one does, he won’t do or change anything favorably. At most he won’t worsen things too much. 
 The goal of the government is not to kill #Bitcoin 

It is to hollow it from any of its freedom, privacy, and censorship resistance properties and leave it as “rare digital tokens” 
 Is there an iOS/ web Nostr client allowing easy management of multiple accounts? 
 Every cycle there’s some nerd rambling about how “this time the halving is surely priced in”

LOL 
 Dubai has 0 taxes ? 👀 
 They recently added 9% corporate tax after some international pressure, and there’s 5% VAT, but no personal taxes I think 
 Twitter feels completely unusable these days. Who’s around here? 
 what happened to Ben Kaufman?
