Nobody should trust @jack's L2 solution or Jack's wallet, especially when a third party can restore access. This design compromises the very essence of decentralization and user sovereignty. The same goes for @saylor's strategy and BlackRock's custody services—they're part of a system that prioritizes control and manipulation. Despite the polished white papers and promises, these solutions align more with centralized interests than the ideals of true financial independence. Users should remain vigilant and critical of such solutions that compromise self-custody and transparency.

L2 solutions like the Lightning Network offer benefits such as faster transactions and lower fees, but they can compromise the essence of Bitcoin by introducing potential centralization, reducing user sovereignty, requiring trust in third parties, and creating new security and privacy risks, especially the trustlessness principle. These factors challenge the foundational principles that make Bitcoin a revolutionary system.

Bitcoin: A Pathway to Global Peace
We have not lived the longest period of peace in history yet, but we will live the longest period of peace in history!
In a world often defined by conflict, power struggles, and competition for resources, we are constantly searching for ways to build a more peaceful and just society. While most people look at Bitcoin as a financial asset or a tool for decentralizing wealth, I believe its potential reaches far beyond economics. Bitcoin might offer humanity something even greater—a new foundation for peace.
Moving Beyond Conflict: A New Kind of Power
Throughout history, wars have been fought over control—control of land, resources, economies, and the power to enforce rules. In contrast, Bitcoin's decentralized structure removes the need for such centralized control. No single entity governs Bitcoin, and no one can wield unchecked power over the system. The proof-of-work mechanism ensures security and fairness without the need for violence, coercion, or centralized oversight.
As Jason Lowery suggests in his work on Bitcoin as a form of power projection, Bitcoin can be seen as a new kind of digital deterrent, one that allows nations to secure their interests without the need for traditional force or military conflict. This shift in power could give rise to a new form of diplomacy, one built on transparency, equal access, and mutual trust. In a world where no single nation or group can manipulate the economic system, we reduce the incentives for conflict.
Bitcoin as a Tool for Transparency and Trust
At its core, Bitcoin is a trustless system—no one needs to trust a central authority to ensure fairness. Instead, cryptography and mathematics guarantee the security of the network. This system of transparency could extend far beyond finance, offering a new way for people, governments, and organizations to interact without fear of manipulation or corruption.
By removing the need for intermediaries, Bitcoin could pave the way for global cooperation, where each party can act with confidence in a system that cannot be easily undermined. It creates a level playing field, not just economically but also in terms of information sharing and governance.
Beyond National Defense: A Vision for Peace
Jason Lowery’s exploration of Bitcoin as a strategic defense tool highlights the ways it can serve as a power projection system for nations, offering a new form of security and sovereignty. But I believe this is just the beginning. What if Bitcoin could give nations and individuals a means to engage peacefully?
By empowering people to own their wealth and secure their assets without relying on central banks or governments, Bitcoin could weaken the structures that fuel geopolitical conflicts. When control is decentralized, and power is more evenly distributed, we may find fewer reasons to engage in war.
A New Way Forward
Imagine a world where peace is not dictated by the threat of force or control over resources but by the mutual benefit of a decentralized system that serves everyone equally. Bitcoin, in this light, becomes more than a financial innovation—it becomes a blueprint for how we might move toward a more peaceful and just world.
Satoshi Nakamoto may not have intended Bitcoin to be a pathway to peace, but the potential is there. As Jason Lowery highlights, Bitcoin's decentralized nature could evolve into a critical part of how nations secure their futures in the digital age. What if we embraced it, not just as a store of value but as a new foundation for how we build trust, security, and cooperation?
I believe that Bitcoin represents more than just financial freedom—it offers us a chance to rethink the systems that have governed our world for centuries. It gives us the opportunity to engage with each other in a way that fosters peace, not conflict. Most importantly, nations would not need to fight over who holds the most Bitcoin—because in a truly decentralized and transparent system, it is not about accumulating more. It simply needs to be adopted, and by doing so, the value it creates can be shared equally, reinforcing the principles of cooperation and global harmony. Redefining peace through decentralized, secure systems like Bitcoin might just be one of the most significant shifts in human history.

Satoshi Nakamoto: The Vlad Țepeș of the Blockchain
Forget Dracula! Vlad Țepeș, aka Vlad the Impaler, has nothing on Satoshi Nakamoto. While Vlad was busy impaling his enemies on stakes in medieval Romania, Satoshi swooped into the digital world like a modern-day vampire, sinking his teeth into the financial system!
- Vlad impaled people to keep them in line. Satoshi? He impaled bankers' hopes of controlling everything.
- Vlad ruled with an iron fist. Satoshi rules from the shadows, wielding code sharper than any medieval weapon.
- Vlad vanished from history, leaving behind stories of bloodshed. Satoshi vanished from the internet, leaving behind a trail of encrypted mysteries, broken fiat systems, and hodlers clinging to their coins like peasants clutching garlic!
Now, imagine Vlad Țepeș in a digital world: “I will stake you... with my ledger!” His castle is a blockchain, his guards are miners, and the only thing sharper than his stake is Satoshi’s math.
Forget garlic and wooden stakes—get your private keys ready, folks. Because when Satoshi comes back, he won’t need a cape... he'll just need a wallet!

I am excited to share this heartwarming tale that combines adventure with valuable lessons for young readers. Your feedback is invaluable as I am seeking support to bring this story to life and inspire children with themes of curiosity, cooperation, and innovation.
Someone could argue to @saylor that in 21 years, BTC will be worth ~$650K, given that every time after each halving, the monthly return also halves.

Did you know that human DNA is encoded in a staggering 6 billion bits? It's the blueprint of our biology, storing the complex instructions for building and maintaining our bodies.
In contrast, Bitcoin uses 256-bit encryption to secure transactions and maintain its decentralized ledger. While this might seem small compared to our DNA, it's incredibly robust, providing strong security against cyber threats.
The vast difference in scale highlights the incredible complexity of biological information and the ingenuity of cryptographic technology. Both DNA and Bitcoin encryption showcase the power of information, whether it's the code of life or the backbone of digital currency.

Absolutely, Bitcoin is a remarkable asset, but the greatest asset in the world is "you". Millions of years of evolution testify to your incredible value. Bitcoin is the second-best asset after self-worth.

These guys are not using support and resistance levels, MM level, or the Shark level. They aren’t even using the 'line in the sand' one. It might be that their predictions are all wrong.

You need at least 3 independent reasons for a trade. If you use top crypto momentum as your only reason, you will still beat the "Buy & Hold Return", which is 12.10% and you will make a 180.82% profit since 11/07/2023 with a very decent 7.92% Max Drawdown. Using also divergences and locatio should help to minimize the trade risks.
