“Gold led to the US dollar… because gold was captured when everyone left it with custodians. We have to fight that as Bitcoiners, or Bitcoin becomes a meme coin like gold. I worry we’re heading toward everyone putting their Bitcoin into exchanges… or ETFs.”

The average American spends 4 hours every day scrolling on their phone. For the younger generations its almost 6.

If you don't include the time you have to sleep, that's between 90-130 days out of the year... spent just looking at our phones. If you could get that time back what would you do with it?

"If you have this disconnect between core devs that value one thing and the users that value something else. I mean something's gotta give at some point, right?

Either you get developers more inline with the users, or a lot of the users kinda end up leaving. This is not a trivial concern. It's a big attack surface. We've seen it in these communities where a lot of this political stuff enters and then the next thing you know it gets completely, sort of subsumed by this movement..."

Bitcoin dips $20k in a shock candle…

Now this is the Bitcoin I remember. 😆🫡

What will drive #Bitcoin's first $100 trillion?

Ai is becoming the most invasive surveillance tool ever, it’s explicitly bypassing all encrypted communications, sandboxing, and privacy implementations so that it has “the right context.”

It is literally reading passwords off your screen. For a little bit of convenience, we are losing literally every major barrier we have built for privacy and security in one swing.

Decided to post video episodes native to Nostr going forward.

This was an awesome conversation I had with Mauricio, co-founder of Ledn, and his and his brother's story of mining bitcoin in the early days, escaping hyperinflation, and building a global bitcoin company.

Almost 20 years ago and nothing has changed and everything this man said has been proven true over and over again.

“We bomb them endlessly and then wonder why they are mad at us.” It’s funny, I’ve had a few friends and family members who are legitimately concerned now that we could be in danger. That “what if we get bombed?” And all I can think is that entire generations in the Middle East have grown up with this fear as a permanent part of their lives. They never knew a time, in a dozen countries, in which they didn’t have to wonder “what if we get bombed?” What do you think that does to a culture? What do you think that does to their view of the west and Israel? After 50 years how could you *not* think that the US deserved to be destroyed? What else do they even know? None of this is confusing. These are the stupidly obvious and self evident results of the bullshit our govts have been engaged in.
