It's amazing how the deeper I go down the #bitcoin rabbit hole, the riskier everything else feels.

People who don't understand Bitcoin think it's the riskiest possible thing to own.

I think it's the least risky thing you can own, and you can actually own it! No IOUs here!


Bitcoin is a magic machine that consumes fear, anger, and despair and produces hope, love, and joy

If you are cheering on mass killings of people just because of their ethnicity/nationality/religion, you are not "awake" and you are certainly not "anti-war". You are also not "anti-establishment" or "anti deep state" because death is what the establishment sells.

I don't and you shouldn't. 😉 You can work a fiat job without pushing that bullshit.


#Bitcoin doesn't have a security budget issue.

It will simply consume all money… or die.

Like how feeding grain to pigs makes them fat and immobile, the fiat faucet leads to morbid obesity in governments. Via the fiat mechanism they leech energy from their host (the productive class) until it eventually succumbs.

Bitcoin is life saving medicine because it thwarts fiat parasitism, thereby pushing out of control government gigantism into remission until it shrinks back to the equivalent of a survivable cancerous growth.


To conform to an enslaved society is insane.

I owned #Bitcoin before becoming a father. However, I didn't appreciate its importance until after I became a dad and started living for something more important than myself.


☀Good Morning, all Freedom Loving, Un-Masked, Bitcoiners! Keep Stacking and front-run all those who hate you.

🔥 Why am I bullish on #Bitcoin? Let me tell you!

Bitcoin, as it is, saved my family from hyperinflation in Lebanon. It is entirely essential to my life. It works perfectly fine for me as it is. It is not some "cool" piece of software whose next iterations I'm "excited" about. It is my lifeline. If it never ads a single capability, it will still be the most important technological innovation of my lifetime.

If you want to to introduce ANY changes to its software, I am going to be extremely skeptical about adopting them on my node. You're not just experimenting with adding features to another app on my phone; you're asking to rebuild my lifeboat with my family on it. I need to see extremely compelling evidence for why these changes are necessary, and extremely compelling explanations for why they do not pose any risks.

Like most bitcoiners, I have been harassed and hounded for years by BIP300's well-funded cringe marketing machine, but the more I look into it, the less convincing it is. Nothing in the motivation seems necessary or even useful. I simply don't care about "killing shitcoins" nor do I see any value from adding any of their features to bitcoin, since I know their features are just vaporware to promote ponzis. A significant number of plausible risks are waved away with cavalier indifference. It somehow fixes all problems and ends all trade-offs. And its promoters have more red flags than a Soviet parade: a history of questionable judgments on bitcoin issues; funding from shitcoiners responsible for the most serious attacks on bitcoin, like Garzik, Ver, and Brekken; the strong support of countless other shitcoiners; and worst of all, the resort to ridiculous fear tactics and the insistence that bitcoin is in a dangerous crisis which only BIP300 can fix.

Bitcoin is permissionless, so i cannot stop you from doing sidechains. Liquid, RSK, and RGB are doing something similar and I simply don't care. But if you need me to do anything with my node to accommodate you, the answer is going to be a very firm no.


GM! 🌅

My most senior member of staff in my company has been living in the EU most of his life. He has been very loyal and worked for me for over 5 years.

His bank account which he shares with his partner (EU citizen) was frozen yesterday.

Why? He was born in Russia.

The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.


Yes 😂 The difference to the mormons though is that people wil learnl the hard way at some point what we try to tell them .

The bItCoIn iNteLlektUaLs or anti-laser eyes gang are always pissy because they simply aren’t needed in a #Bitcoin world. No one needs their suggestions to fix non-existent problems in Bitcoin, their crappy takes, their shilling of various crypto projects/scams, and least of all their “thought leadership.”

Pre-Bitcoin they’d be something like a financial advisor, teaching plebs about how to best manage their money in a convoluted and opaque financial system and happily getting their cut.

Post-Bitcoin, any 80 IQ pleb can through first principle reasoning reach the simple conclusion that they just need to work hard, stack sats, and #HODL. No financial advice needed. No fees to any middlemen.

So if you’re wondering why these tools spend so much time and energy raging against you and other plebs, well now you know. They’re angry that their stars aren’t rising.


“Ending” fossil fuels abruptly would be like telling farmers 1k yrs after the agricultural revolution they need to hunt & gather—many would die.

Harnessing abundant energy (mostly hydrocarbons) is the lynchpin of human flourishing.

Energy is a complex AF—simple narratives fail.


If it takes the world 3 generations to evolve enough to reach a Bitcoin Standard, does that change your perspective?

This question was asked on Cafe Bitcoin this morning, because an article was written recently, predicting that it may take 3 generations or 60 years to reach hyperbitcoinization.

First of all, no one can tell the future. Absolutely no one. Secondly, and to me this is the most important response, I don't care on the timeline as this does not change my perspective.

I do not stack bitcoin for Derek.

I stack bitcoin for my children and their children. I invest in my family's future by saving in bitcoin.

Why aren't altcoiners moving to Nostr?

They're used to bribing centralized entities to integrate their coin. Exchanges list them, websites cover them, wallets add them. Even Twitter has the NFT profile pics. But they can't do that on Nostr.

And further, the Lightning integration means they have to use Bitcoin! The sad fact is that for all their developers, altcoins don't have anything like lightning. And they know if they come here, they're going to need to convert some of their stash.

It'll be fun to watch the VCs try to downplay Nostr's significance as they try to protect their bags. But it won't work. An actual decentralized network is forming and their centralized crap won't work here.

Let them have centralized platforms. Decentralized money belongs on a decentralized platform.
