As we approach ATH’s, it occurs to me that they’ll never acknowledge the:

~ thousands of hours of study (reading books, blogs and research papers, listening to podcasts) on everything from the history of money/credit/debt, international finance, privacy, human rights, energy markets, cryptography, and philosophy

~ conviction, patience, and intestinal fortitude developed while surviving multiple bear cycles and the endless FUD from haters, bankers, and shitcoin promoters

~ years of running nodes and miners, experimenting with various hardware wallets, and learning how to operate (clumsily) on the command line.

They’ll say we “got lucky.”

Absolutely. And some shitcoins (like Kaspa, who dares to call Bitcoin its “testnet” 😅) use this egocentric reaction: “You missed Bitcoin when it was cheaper? Buy my shit!”

Yes, but it is still a centralized social network. And centralization is the problem.


Yeah, I also think this election is a military op since 2020. Cossette-Trudel (Radio Québec) explains that very well since years.

So many people don't realize how this bullrun will be different...

Preceding bullruns were between bitcoiners and altcoiners.
This bullrun will be fueled by governments and big companies/institutions..

This governmental/institutional FOMO will result in a MASSIVE bullrun like never before.

Just my humble thought.


Thanks God! I wish you and your family all the best! Make your family live on a ₿ standard 😉🍾

I'm already borrowing against my family's bitcoin to cover monthly expenses, via Aave and WBTC. It's our way to live on Bitcoin, without sending it. But I hope that, one day, I'll be able to do that without WBTC, keeping my BTC as is, on a Bitcoin's L2 like Stacks.

Bitcoin protects you against inflation AND tyrants, but only if you self custody.

Humility is a Christian value.

“Before destruction, the heart of a man is exalted: and before he be glorified, it is humbled.” — Proverbs 18:12

“The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.” — Proverbs 15:33

“And in fine, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, being lovers of the brotherhood, merciful, modest, humble: Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing.” — 1 Peter 3:8-9

“Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy, and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience: [13] Bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another: even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also.” — Colossians 3:12-13

And don't forget: the Holy Virgin Mary is the supreme model of humility.

I'm really impressed with the new Satoshi Nakamoto statue in Lugano. I love how it celebrates privacy—disappearing from certain angles. We are all Satoshi. #Bitcoin is social consensus.

Non-Catholic "Christians" who claim the imagery of Madonna and Child came from paganism (e.g., Nimrod and his mother) don't understand that their argument undermines the biblical account of Mary and Jesus.

They care so much about discrediting the Catholic Church as false Christianity that they shoot themselves in the foot while doing it. And they are unaware of their self-inflicted wound.

They have absolutely no clue. They are always repeating over and over their "sola scriptura" mantra, without being able understand in their Bible that Mary is the eternal "Gebirah", the eternal Mother Queen of the eternal and universal Kingdom of God, according to the davidic tradition described in the Old Testament. Mary is their Queen and Advocate, but they reject Her.


Always praying the Rosary with family, and then GN!

This new paper is a true declaration of war: the ECB claims that early #bitcoin adopters steal economic value from latecomers. I strongly believe authorities will use this luddite argument to enact harsh taxes or bans. Check 🧵 for why:

https://m.primal.net/Laim.png

Rather than praising bitcoin as a tech paradigm shift à la petroleum and the internet, the authors introduce the blatantly luddite argument that "early adopters" ... "increase their real wealth and consumption" ... "at the expense of [latecomers]".

https://m.primal.net/Lain.png

Then they go on to brazenly advocate for legislation ... "to prevent bitcoin prices from rising or to see bitcoin disappear altogether" in order to prevent "the division of society".

https://m.primal.net/Laio.png

The authors also model some projections, to illustrate the paltry amount of BTC that will remain available for latecomers. (Woe is me! Conspicuously left out is the reason that has driven 15 years of bitcoin adoption & development: it's simply better tech.)

https://m.primal.net/Laiq.png

 In all the years I've been monitoring the bitcoin space, this is by far the most aggressive paper to come from authorities. The gloves are off. It's clear that these central bank economists now see bitcoin as an existential threat, to be attacked with any means possible.

Many of us have warned that this was coming: bitcoin as a major political fault line both in national and international elections. Well here it is. It means that us HODLers must take action to insure that governments respect our basic right to hold property.

And no, this won't be a war between haves and have-nots. Rather this will be a historic clash between those who stand for the natural rights of the individual, and those who clutch at the failed ideologies of collectivism and central planning.

Here's the download link to the paper: "The distributional consequences of Bitcoin". (We need detailed rebuttals. Who's writing one?)

Being a man means duty and obligation.

Duty is the root of masculine love.

A man understands that his duty is a gift, not a burden.

He doesn’t complain because he’s stoic, but because there’s nothing to complain about.

He enjoys being responsible for others.

Seeing those under him happy and healthy.

He knows he provides that and without him the world would be a much darker place for those he loves.
