Just as a thought exercise it's fun to think about the power of absolute scarcity in bitcoin.

For example if you own 6.15 bitcoin of a total supply cap of 21mm you own an effective 0.00002929% percent of ALL available wealth in the network.

By comparison if i took that same bitcoin value in USD i'd have roughly $378k or 0.00000008% of all available global wealth ($454 tn) at present day and shrinking literally every single day due to central banking inflation.

So my bitcoin holdings represent 351x more relative purchasing power WHICH WILL NEVER BE DILLUTED. Arguably that purchasing power will only increase as coins are lost. The upside of holding bitcoin right here is bonkers as more people seek a better store of wealth. Still so early...


Just checked my plebclock. 1 btc still = 1 btc

The idea that bitcoin will become a 2% allocation of NPC's portfolio is absurd. Bitcoin is the closest thing to perfection we have of a long-term deflation resistant storage mechanism that is literally programmed to go up.   To think that 98% of peoples portfolios will continually play the stock market casino (with insane tail risk) driven by advisors who are going to underperform bitcoin is insane.

This may take an entire cycle or two to flush out but bitcoin will become much more then 2% of the average persons portfolio. Bitcoin will destroy all models.

Bitcoin ETF's


Net inflows of 11.2k BTC yesterday.  Over 12x the new supply and in 50 days that single day of inflows would wipe out 24 days of new supply. Absolutely bonkers.  Anyone selling right now is out of their minds.

Less then 6.5% of supply left to mine and ... checks notes... 116 more years.

You do not have enough bitcoin.


There are far too few services focused on over-collateralized bitcoin lending. It's literally risk free when done right.


Here's a suggestion for Brian:

0.) Stop being a fucking idiot
1. ) Fire every engineer working on shitcoin markets
2.) Fire every engineer working on NFT projects
3.) Close your SF office
3.) Hire a small team of rockstar developers, pay them hansomely
4.) Implement LN finally after continually promising and non-delivery
5.) Allow your hyper-focused team to build a high-availability trading platform
6.) Figure out how to focus on being a bitcoin-only company to maximize longevity of company
7.) Build out bitcoin lending services


It's crazy how Coinbase largely has the entire bitcoin market cornered.  Things getting too hot?  Put a short in, crash the market by bringing you infrastructure down, profit.  It's happened dozens of times before by the bald fuckface Brian Armstrong. 10 years going the guy still can't figure out how to scale his infrastructure for peak demand.


Yea suspecting that as well.

That look bitcoiners always get.  Today we're geniuses fam. Remember this when we go back to 85 iq in the bear market and the NPC's are rejoicing they didn't buy bitcoin because it just crashed all the way back down to 150k.

https://m.primal.net/HftB.jpg


Looking back at some of the pre-launch analysis of ETF markets from Galaxy Research.  They estimated 14.4bn net inflow year one and we're currently ~1.5 months into trading and net inflows are sitting at 6.7bn.  If inflows stayed static at the current rate the1 year inflow would actually be around 50 billion for year one or beating expectations by about 350%

It's complicated. Not all macro thinkbois are good and many do use it as a grift to get that paycheck. Idk these days i only really listen to the macro thinkgirlz like nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a as it's pretty pointless to trade broken markets, just bitcoin and chill.

It's amazing how many "smart" people are completely financially retarded, then a lot of 80-iq plebs like myself who might be perceived as being on the other end of the financial spectrum.

Intelligence is a really really broad umbrella to cast when there are so many topics to cover. Sometimes people are extremely disproportionally "smart" on one topic while completely retarded on another. Just because macro thinkbois can do research doesn't mean they can invest well. One of the hardest lessons i've had to learn is you can do all the research in the world on a topic and think you know everything but completely fuck up by trying to time markets with an entry or exit.

Which is why bitcoin is so beautiful. If you truly understand it you'll realize it's a one-way door.


It's one of the most powerful axioms in bitcoin.  Bitcoin rewards the patient.  Just stay humble and never take your foot off the gas. DCA forever.


USD fiat land: gm. while you were sleeping your elected politicians agreed to send $95,000,000,000 to foreign countries further increasing credit risk of the USD and destabilizing your purchasing power.

bitcoiner: gm. credit risk doesn't exist.


BREAKING: Bitcoin inflation data released just as it does normally every ~10 minutes for the past 14 years. All systems nominal, bitcoin remains perfectly on schedule for a halving in ~68 days. No changes, no surprises, no credit risk.

The median household price today in the US is ~$400,000. I started buying bitcoin in March of 2023. If i had put roughly $725 of filthy USD into bitcoin at that entry point and held it until now you would have enough for a house free and clear.

Bitcoin will destroy your purchasing power.... to the upside.

Also, real estate is a shitcoin.


Oh i didn't know how it was settled.


I only stack sats 3 days a week. Today, tomorrow and yesterday.


So we have data for day 15 of the ETF which looks like we now have a net inflow of ~1.3 billion since the ETF launched. But we've also had ~1 billion of FTX redemptions.

So net net we've actually seen ~$300 million of inflow over the past few weeks? Am i missing anything else major?

https://m.primal.net/HaQD.jpg


Fortunately if you've saved in bitcoin you can afford to homeschool or private school like i'm opting for.  Irony is i still have to fund the state gulags while simultaneously paying for private.


it's a sobering reality but more people need to start living and preparing themselves to live with a state that is actively hostile to them.

diminishing financial control, increasing taxes, reduced free speech, increasing war, surveillance everywhere, reduced gun rights, etc..  oh and hey they've also weaponized your neighbors against you.  remember the people that wanted you dead for not taking an experimental gene therapy?  that has permanently scarred millions of americans who will never get an apology or retribution for those who wanted us jobless and dead.

Life lesson: be comfortable being ridiculed. Being right long term is a very unpopular position amongst normies.


Most market participants in the United States don’t really understand how markets are supposed to work. Bitcoin exposes this in a multitude of facets. The information asymmetry play is still early.


Most of our serious opposition is sept/octogenarians who are on the brink of extinction. The rest are a bunch of psychopathic authoritarians. All bitcoin needs to do is survive.

Tick-tock, next block.


These people definitely deserve bitcoin somewhere around $250k+ in my estimation


These real people are often far more retarded then you can even imagine.


Like the ETF or not it's another necessary test for bitcoin.  If it can't survive this then what the fuck are we here for.  Bring it.


During the previous cycle, we’ve established a ton of new tools and projects that completely changed how we interacted with #Bitcoin.

I think many dont properly appreciate the fact that Lightning is becoming (or possibly already has become) the primary mode of interaction. And even despite fees, onboarding onto Lightning is seamless due to a growing ecosystem of LSPs. 2 years ago that honestly seemed like an overly optimistic goal.

In addition
• we are finally on the cusp of workable DLCs, we will likely very soon have bitcoin native “stable sats” via this tool
• multisig is becoming an industry standard for BTC native financial services
• Fedimint/ecash is starting its rise - which will completely change the custodial landscape
• we have two insanely exciting new communication protocols making their MVP debut - Nostr + Hypercore
• There is an explosion of new entrants in the Lightning ecosystem
• We have numerous new mining & mining pool projects around redecentralizing hash power coming to fruition - Including a FOSS package to “run your own pool.”
• Everyone is bitching about fees being too high instead of Bitcoin’s “security budget problem.”
• We have multiple, entirely novel approaches for new scaling layers - including an incredibly creative new means to use ANY arbitrary code to enforce ownership of a bitcoin UTXO.
• Traditional finance cannot ignore us any longer. For better or worse, they are allocating.
• A country adopted bitcoin as legal tender and started building national payments infrastructure with the bitcoin/lightning stack.
• We have multiple other increasingly bitcoin friendly regimes and political leaders popping up across the global south.
• Streaming sats, zaps, lightning prisms, running lightning services for friends and family, user friendly personal nodes, zero setup non/custodial Lightning - these were all “what ifs” at the end of the last cycle. Today they are all here.
• Tons of new developer interest has flooded into the Lightning ecosystem, and we now have the tooling and dev kits to do an order of magnitude more applications with barely any knowledge or configuration from the app creators needed for it to work securely and easily. This is hugely underappreciated, imo.

There’s a ton of stuff that I know I’m even missing here that deserves a mention, but the ecosystem has matured incredibly these past few years. Most of the biggest leaps have been in infrastructure, which is exactly what is laying the groundwork for a 10x at the application layer that I think comes with this next cycle.

___________

The REAL kicker though, is that we did this under largely the same development conditions as the past 10 years, but today, Ai is about the drastically change that landscape. Over the next 3 years, the accessibility of development and the capital required to complete a project will DRASTICALLY decline. Already we have LLMs specialized in code that are enabling “so so programmers” to build small & simple functions/apps with very little effort. We have “screenshot to code” which lets you take a picture (or photoshop) a website and it will immediately create the HTML or React code needed to make the website exactly as seen, and this is **just the beginning.** LLMs have been in the public eye for ONLY one year. The amount of building that will be unleashed in the next 3 is going to be hard to fathom.

I want people to understand, if you are technically literate at all, you NOW have the capacity to create a lighting app, a game, a desktop tool, a Nostr app, a Hypercore based software, a website or PWA, **even if you don’t know how to code.** the dev kits, libraries, and Ai combined have done all the heavy lifting for you. The game is changed, start playing.

The acceleration is about to get fucking crazy, and a ton of stuff is aligning at the same time. We have no idea how far these next few years are going to take us.

Buckle
The
Fuck

93% supply mined w/ approx 1.4mm coins left to distribute.

Most still don't understand bitcoin isn't a trade, it's the destination. Going to be one hell of a squeeze to shake any coins out of those who understand this.

Absolute scarcity, fixed distribution, transaction finality, global demand and a world standing on top of a melting iceberg of fiat. Many books will be written about how this market defied conventional logic and absolutely melted the faces off anyone who was short.

Allow me to close my Zillow tabs for a moment to reflect on the ETF and potential implications short term.

Bitcoiners are going to have an order of magnitude more capital available to supercharge development.  Development is a lot more then just writing code though. More new projects and more people to do the really heavy lifting of maintaining core and keeping it secure and healthy.  More education materials.  More marketing reach. And a necessary evil is more money available to fight the state on the political front to make sure bitcoin is deeply embedded into our lawbooks to prevent the authoritarians from taking away our God given rights.

It's just such a beautiful feedback cycle. NGU supercharges development, development supercharges NGU.  Bullish AF

Political rant.  Warning.

Here's an unpopular opinion. All politics are of course trash, but i think a Trump second term will be especially disastrous for the country. The vitriol between parties will be at all time high - violence is almost a guarantee. Trump has been right on a lot of stuff but also disastrously wrong in the face of hard evidence like the vaccines. End of the day though it doesn't really matter if he isn't pro-bitcoin he's anti-bitcoin. He's a non-viable candidate from that single perspective.  We don't need another octogenarian in office who has an ego bigger than the whitehouse itself.

Vivek is really the only candidate for me right now.

So why can't we create tools to help us analyze legal precedence that makes the regulators jobs extremely difficult to propose legislation that is clearly in violation of established law or common sense?

Seems to me like we need better tools to respond to respond to the overwhelming amount of resources the government has to throw at us to implement bullshit laws.

I don't often agree with David but I think there's merit to this: https://twitter.com/DavidFBailey/status/1732029572730790056

There will certainly be more fiat-games played with bitcoin but i think we also flushed a lot of turds down the toilet last cycle. Time will tell how the ETF issuers and others manipulate bitcoin this cycle but i think we've reached a different phase of maturity so we'll see if that becomes a net postive or negative for price discovery.


Traders on Twitter sure are a shamless group of midwits.

Every talking head analyst is back of course now bullish on bitcoin. All i hear is shit like "oh it's a etf pump" or "oh it's a halving pump" and here's how i'd trade it.

I have yet to hear anyone say "you shouldn't trade it, you should just be dollar cost averaging bitcoin buys.  look at the long term, bitcoin is cyclical, but one things remains true: hodlers are the winners."

Trying to outsmart a deflationary currency that is experiencing rapid growth is the most midwit thing you could possibly do. DCA and chill. It's that simple.

Shit is moving so fast it’s insane. A little scary if I’m honest.


The thing that really bothers me about gold is it’s betting on a regression for humanity. Gold fixes nothing in a world today that deals in commerce across space. At the end of the day golds best hope is we regress back to a trust model of “gold backed” fiat because gold is completely impractical for commerce as we know in the 21st digital century. It’s like begging to make the same mistakes we’ve already learned from and I personally find it incredibly depressing to think we go back to a standard where we have to trust an asset already paper traded 200-250:1 isn’t going to end up in catastrophe again. Bitcoin is truly our only hope.


What are you seeing in AI?


Hey I’m not saying I don’t mine I’m just not denying the facts. I shitpost excessively but I’m still not quitting my day job


Shitposting can be more profitable than mining.


Remember when gold pumps it’s still paper traded 200:1 with physical gold. Goldbugs are a special breed of stupid

Bitcoin mines aren’t just energy-hungry, it turns out they’re blood thirsty, too. The potential energy consumption tied to a single Bitcoin transaction, on average, could be the equivalent to clubbing 648 incredibly cute baby seals, according to a new analysis.

Listen shiny rock fans - i understand you think gold and silver are "hard money".  The problem is they're paper-traded to death. For every 1 ounce of physical gold there's 200-250 ounces of "paper-gold" being traded.  So your "hard money" asset is overwhelmingly valued by derivatives, options and other financial instruments created by institutions who also leverage these tools to manipulate markets.

Listen, you had a great run. For around 5,000 years you dazzled people with your physical properties. But all good things must come to an end.  We no longer live in an analog world where I take my horse to the local merchant to exchange gold for goods. Those times will never return - and if they do it means humanity has completely collapsed and you should probably favor metals like lead and brass aka ammunition.

Everything is digital now, your "hard money" rock is not only obsolete but severely compromised by modern finance, electronic markets and institutions who are the beneficiaries of effectively free money from our governments. And they use this money to trade against you.

I have great news though. We have something something even better now. Something even more scarce, transportable, verifiable and even infinitely upgradeable. We still can't even imagine the possibilities of things we can do with bitcoin - we have barely scratched the surface. I would like to welcome you to bitcoin with open arms and help you embrace the future of money.

# My Quick Non Custodial Lightning Wallet Comparison

After the recent incident with nostr:npub1hcwcj72tlyk7thtyc8nq763vwrq5p2avnyeyrrlwxrzuvdl7j3usj4h9rq decision to exit the us app store. (Thank you for not forcing draconian KYCs on your users and being transparent about the decision) A lot of people have been looking for alternative solutions for their zapping needs, but each solution has its own tradeoffs so here's a quick run down of what I've been playing with recently.

## Move to a Different Custodial Wallet

There are a few options available, the one I think has the most complete feature set for Nostr user is  nostr:npub1getal6ykt05fsz5nqu4uld09nfj3y3qxmv8crys4aeut53unfvlqr80nfm as you can use it to log in to Nostr services, create lightning address to receive zaps, send zaps on desktop, and use Nostr Wallet Connect feature to send zaps from many mobile clients. It provides a good set of features, also can handle keys for your on-chain wallet (non-custodial) But with the recent growth and attention it has been receiving, Alby is also a target for regulations and government attacks.

I'd still say this is fine for users who are not tech savvy, it takes a few seconds to set up and should answer all of your zapping needs, at least for now, but be aware that it faces the same risk WoS faces.

## Move to a Non-Custodial Wallet

So you want to completely eliminate the risk of censorship and surprises and decided to go non-custodial, not your keys, not your Bitcoins, it should be simple, right?

Well, not really. You see, lightning is not Bitcoin, to truly operate a lightning wallet without and third party you'd need to run your own Bitcoin node along with your own Lightning implementation of choice and a whole bunch of other stuff, and if you are already doing that, I bet you're feeling pretty superior right now.

### So, what about all these 'non-custodial lightning wallets' then?

Compared to just Bitcoin, things get a little bit more complicated for Lightning, you'll need to open channels, manage liquidity, ensure connectivity, and be online to use the network. Non custodial lightning wallets are wallets that lets you create, and keep your own keys (or what normal people would call seed, or the 12-words) but will do all the other stuff on your behalf, tasks such as creating and funding channels, routing payments, managing liquidity are done by the service providers and as of now, there are no established standards on how this is done and each wallet will have their own set up.

### wait, why should I care about all of that?

Well, to put it simply, you might not always be able to recover your wallet in any other wallets, Lightning is complicated and it requires more than your seed backups to restore your wallets as channels and channels balances are stored separately, this might change in the future but it is the current reality, so, just be aware!

## These are the non-custodial wallets I've tried for this note.

1. Phoenix
One of the oldest non-custodial lightning wallet, a simplified version of Eclair, also made by the same company, ACINQ. In phoenix, you create and store your own keys, but the wallet will use your keys to open channels and sign transactions for you. Recovery is simple enough as I've moved my phoenix wallet from phones to phones many times without any difficulty, just use the twelve-word backup phrase on their app. But if you need to recover the wallet in a different app then that will be a problem as you'll need the channel backups to close your channel and I can't find any ways to export that from the app. The app is available as apk though if it ever gets removed from playstore. Also, while simple, phoenix offers no special features for Nostr users.

**pros**
- Simple, clean interface.
- Channel splicing is great, no more dead channels with useless liquidity, simple management
- ACINQ runs onw of the largest Lightning node.
- transparent policies regarding channel opening fees, swap-in wallets, etc.

**cons**
- no Nostr wallet connect, but can still be used to send zaps.
- ACINQ is stingy with routing fee
- no lnUrl, lnAddress support

2. Breez
Just like Phoenix, Breez offers a clean user interface and a simple back up solution, instead of a seed back up phrase, Breez backsup your wallet to a cloud service, of your choice, which is a bit unnerving, but you can encrypt the file and recovery is easy enough, just re-link the back up and your wallet is back on a new phone. No Nostr specific feature though.

**pros**
- easy to use
- connects with a lot of services
- transparent

**cons**
- no lnUrl, lnAddress
- though can be transparent, most advanced information are hidden in the advanced section
- no back up phrases for on-chain wallet / keys

3. nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5
This is perhaps the most feature packed wallet on the list, but unfortunately, also the most difficult to get started. The playstore version does not support embedded node so you'll need to be running a node somewhere and use Zeus to connect to it. However, if you go to their website and download the Latest beta you can run a neutrino node on your phone and use it to manage your own channels. But you;ll need to manage your own channels, so that's a bit difficult for most people, or maybe I'm just missing something. Zeus supports NIP-05 generation, lnAddress (semi-custodial) so it can be used for Nostr.

**pros**
- feature packed
- connects to your own node
- does lnAddress magic
- also nip05
- node on your phone!

**cons**
- need to install apk or testflight (as of now)
- connects to your own node
- need to open / close channels
- node on your phone!

4. nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg
I really like Mutiny. One thing that sets it apart from other wallets is that it's a web app (but it runs locally on your phone.) So you'll never have to worry about it being removed from any appstore, ever. Just go to their website with your browser and click start using Mutiny and it'll install a web app on your phone. The set up is simple, seed phrase back up and your are ready. The  minimum funding to start using the wallet is a bit high though, at 100,000 sats so it's not great for onboarding newbies, and they charge a 40k sat fees if you wanted to fund the wallet with another lightning wallet. (funding it with on-chain wallet can be cheaper, depending on the network. Mutiny supports Nostr Wallet Connect so you can use it to easily send zaps, but does not have lnAddress for receiving zaps.

** pros **
- cool design
- no app store
- runs anywhere
- simple to set up
- has NWC

**cons**
- high initial funding tx fee
- no lnAddress
- can be confusing at first for people used to appstore.

### notable mentions

Blixt is also interesting, it runs a neutrino node on your phone and offers the same benefits as zeus, but the UX is quite confusing and difficult to use and does not support any Nostr specific features.

## Conclusion

I don't see a clear winner here but.
**if you just want to keep you zaps safe for the moment** -> Phoenix or Breez
**if you want to use it mainly for sending zaps** -> Mutiny, Phoenix, Breez are fine, Mutiny has NWC
**if you want to use it to receive zaps** -> Zeus (grab the v8.0 beta version) and learn to use it.
**if you want to send and receive zaps now and don't really care about going non custodial** -> Alby

If anyone has further suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments!
Stay free!

You cannot vote to fix this.  Fighting the uniparty is like pissing into the wind. The only meaningful decision is to opt-out with #bitcoin and build this reality from the ground up. Nothing gives me more hope then the group of bitcoiners i've been on this journey with now for 10+ years.

Humble admission. I think i might have only convinced 1-3 people ever to DCA bitcoin. I've piqued some curiousities with a lot of people and seen some lump-sum purchases but the idea of dollar-cost-averaging is still so difficult for people to commit to especially during the rut of the bear markets.

People have no problem apeing in during bull markets when emotions are high chasing hopes of immediate riches.

Just kinda makes me sad i haven't been able to help more people DCA but saving in bitcoin is a very emotional game with lots of ups and downs.

I dunno food, shelter and necessities sound pretty good to me?


If there comes a time where you need to sell some bitcoin to pay expenses the best time to do it is when people you haven’t spoke to for years start casually messaging you with questions.


Ben Armstrong has this market cornered his life is an almost unbelievable shitshow


Hard to believe there are still people who watch reality tv shows when clearly the most entertaining shitshow on earth is “crypto”.

eh i've had a bad taste in my mouth ever since they took Coinkites code.  I haven't been interested in since


If you buy from them and they collect your email, address, etc... Then everytime you use the device you plug it in and it's not airgapped so who knows what the fuck could happen


Didn't blockstreams website just get compromised and emails leaked? That's exactly the thing i'm trying to avoid.  Coldcard isn't immune either but i believe they have an actual data retention policy and solid track record. nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8


Yea i'm sort of leaning on a SeedSigner as there's no honeypot of data collection and its air gapped. I just would like to see official support from Unchained for integration to their vaults.


Trying to recommend hardware wallets to someone for an Unchained vault. Coldcard is obvious for one but i'm having a hard time recommending a second.

I know they only support Coldcard/Trezor/Ledger but i really have a difficult time recommending devices from Trezor or Ledger and becoming part of their honeypots.

SeedSigner?

OMG hamas is using bitcoin shut the entire industry down right now!!!!!!

So, you're telling me you'd prefer the terrorists continue to use their favorite 100% anonymous, 100% untraceable currency known as the USD that we continually supply them with?

Go fuck yourself, every politician can literally go fuck yourself.

Bitcoin has no counterparty risk.

People will never fully appreciate that until they understand the gargantuan risk the USD is posed with and there is no possible way out unless you debase the currency holders.

Fiat is programmed for eventual hyperinflation and complete failure.


I used to like Arthur Hayes but can't get beyond how much of a complete crypto degenerate he is.  Like you have god-levels of money, yet you're still leading lemmings head first into crypto traps to use as your exit liquidity.  Morally reprehensible.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WHITE RABBIT FORTIFIES HIS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO WITH A $10 ADDITION USING HIS ONGOING DOLLAR COST AVERAGING STRATEGY

White Rabbit, a savvy and diligent investor, continues to make waves in the world of financial planning by acquiring an additional $10 worth of Bitcoin, using his time-tested Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy.

White Rabbit has become known for his methodical approach to building wealth through the consistent application of the DCA method. This strategy involves investing a fixed dollar amount at regular intervals, regardless of market conditions. His recent acquisition of $10 worth of Bitcoin reflects his unwavering commitment to this approach.

Discussing his DCA strategy, White Rabbit explained, "DCA has been a crucial element of my investment journey. It empowers me to balance market fluctuations and steadily grow my holdings, regardless of economic shifts."

Feel like Nostr has gotten a little bump in traffic lately my usual cringe posts are getting more popular.

Guilty habit of still viewing Twitter definitely showing the algorithm has gotten significantly worse, people still shadow banned, search banned, myself still banned for using the forbidden “retard” word. Elon really doing a solid mediocre job of almost nothing except exposing his own platform as being corrupted and infiltrated by political actors. Good job?


Gm, reportedly.


And yes Tether is a shitcoin.


Would you stupid fucking boomers
stop saying crypto? It’s bitcoin and shitcoins.


Bitcoin mining should be a layer 2 facility for all power producers. Make every watt great again. 😂


Don’t be the socialized losses for the counterfeit class.


Mining stocks are a shitcoin with 100% downside.


idk to me it seems like investing in publicly traded bitcoin mining is about the stupidest bitcoin tangential investment you can make when you could just buy bitcoin and not lose sleep over the next halving cycle


😂 not micro-dick enough!

Not only is SBF gonna go down as a criminal but one of the worst executed enterprises ever. He literally couldn’t even manage to trade against his own customers with every dirty trick up his sleeve and he still blew himself up.

Isn’t it also ironic how every slime ball who spreads lies and falsehoods about bitcoin eventually is exposed as a fraud?

So fucking bullish right now. I absolutely love how antifragile bitcoin is.

Broken money has now priced the latest generation of youth out of:

- Home ownership (unaffordable)
- Social security benefits (collapsing ponzi scheme)
- Medicare benefits (collapsing ponzi scheme)
- Savings (inflation exceeds yields)
- Health (state fueled intervention and vaxx mandates  destroyed the health of many)
- Ability to think (state schools don't teach how to think - they teach what to think.  we have a generation of kool-aid drinkers poisoned by corporate media propaganda)

It's not hard to see why we're having a crisis of mental health in this country we're completely falling apart.

What?


I went and grabbed a garbage can lid to cover it until Leo arrived. I contemplated picking it up but didn’t want to touch it. Gun was literally in the middle of a busy walking path so I also didn’t want to scare people standing by a pistol on the ground especially in such close proximity to kids.


Nah I called the cops and got the whole story while I was there. Old dude walking/running and pistol fell out when he fell on the walking path. Old dude had a big hematoma on his head and bleeding on his leg. Carrying your pistol in an open pocket isn’t ideal.


Found a loaded gun in a park today. Less than 50 yards from a playground. Just a reminder please be responsible if you’re concealing. Losing your firearm, especially next to a playground shouldn’t ever happen https://image.nostr.build/ac2de8e6933de39b300f68e7d987d8eec4c6e0a99105e7397b3386b4bfcade79.jpg

I should have said marketing first company who isn’t even technically competent enough to custody funds so they leverage their incompetence to another trusted third party who has already proven to be incompetent. The layers on this shit is deep


Storing any bitcoin with a trusted third party is a bad idea. But storing your bitcoin with a marketing first, engineering second company is a really really bad idea.


Nic Carter especially kills me because his content was so good.  But he drank the VC kool-aid investing in shitcoin projects and let 80 IQ plebs live rent free in his head. Now he seems to spend his time willingly trying to tear down narratives propped up by the 80 IQ gang it's a real spectacle to witness the thot leaders.


One of the biggest losers ever in history is Vlad. He’s literally wrong on everything he’s done. If he supporting something controversial… run.
