Then they fight you

Anyone still own $MARA?

This is why I believe in Bitcoin. If you only watch 9 minutes of my content, ever, please let it be this.

If this tweet has exactly 1 like in 24 hours I’ll give that person $100,000,000

I like @jackmallers. I’m a @Strike customer. I hope they both succeed. But I’m skeptical of today’s merger with $XXI. Every update for @Strike today focused on Bitcoin lending - lower rates, lending proof of traversed, volatility proof loans. These are novel product innovations, no doubt. To me, they reflect a disproportionate focus on lending. It’s wonderful for Bitcoin backed loans, but I’m not convinced that’s a market need. How many people are really living on a Bitcoin standard such that these innovations are going to move the needle? They may be high margin for @Strike, but I don’t see the demand. And the rest of the business is subject to serious competition and a race to the bottom with exchange fees. Meanwhile, the merger with Elektron Energy adds a Bitcoin miner into the fold. Mining is literally designed to be barely profitable. No publicly traded Bitcoin miners have been in an uptrend since the last bull market. Conceptually, I’m interested in the market that @twentyone is targeting - a Bitcoin operating company with a Bitcoin treasury strategy. Good luck to the team.

This guy grew up

As if our timelines weren’t already filled with misinformation and GenAI slop, now we get to deal with April Fools posts too 😅

It cannot be overstated how embarrassing this is for any businessman or Bitcoiner. 🚩 Buy the pico top with borrowed money 🚩 Execute a flurry of self-indulging, corrupt, and unprofitable corporate transactions 🚩 Lose all remaining credibility and respect from analysts, peers, and followers, and the market 🚩 Become the most hated man in Bitcoin 🚩 Sell the bottom You don’t hate @DavidFBailey enough.

Day 365 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. Well, well, well. I think I picked just about the worst celebrity on X to try and orange pill. I don’t even think you check your own page 😅 It may not have been a success. Not only did I get zero likes, comments, or acknowledgement from you, but I barely got even the slightest engagement from anyone else either, especially if we remove the bots. Still, I’m glad we did this. In a decade, I am confident that it will be clear to everyone that Bitcoin is beyond the point of no return. And like I’ve said, Bill, you are still too young and healthy to expect to pass away before then. At some point in this next decade, you’ll need to make a public concession, finally accepting the true value and staying power of Bitcoin. Like many before you, you’ll bend the knee. And I’ll be here, quote tweeting any one of these 365 posts with a big grin on my face. Michael Saylor once said, “Bitcoin is on a need to know basis.” You may not have a need to know, Bill, but many of your viewers do. Indeed, most people do, whether they know it or not. I hope it doesn’t take much longer for you to come around. In a world too often marked by fear, deception, oppression, and theft, Bitcoin represents hope, truth, freedom, and property rights. In ₿ we trust, @MitterFox

If we hit $200,000, we’ll be $800,000 below where you predicted we’d be two years ago

Day 364 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. As we come up on nearly one full year of daily orange pilling, it’s an appropriate time to remind you: everyone gets Bitcoin as the price they deserve.

Day 363 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. One of the most common criticisms of Bitcoin is its use in criminal activity and illicit transactions. Bitcoiners, on the other hand, argue that the public nature of the blockchain actually makes the movement of money more traceable through Bitcoin than through fiat money. The truth, I believe, is somewhere in the middle. Yes, Bitcoin itself is far from anonymous. Forensic experts have become skilled in tracing Bitcoin payments and even recovering funds in ways that would not be possible if not for the blockchain. However, there are also mixing services and shadier crypto ecosystems that can obfuscate criminal activity more effectively. Both sides of the debate miss the point. Bitcoin is freedom money. That means no central authority can stop consenting participants on the network from transacting. In some cases, this may be an unfortunate trade off, but a worthwhile one for all of the benefits Bitcoin offers.

Day 362 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. Bill, on this week’s episode of @RealTimers, you asked the panel what can possibly be done about the growing gap between the rich and the poor. @Scaramucci dropped the ball, failing to mention Bitcoin or the wanton debasement of the dollar even once until later in the episode when he sheepishly admitted to owning a little. Meanwhile, @lloydblankfein, who I should remind you was the CEO of @GoldmanSachs during the 2008 financial crisis that US banks gifted us, said the problem is that the rich own assets, but the poor don’t. Gee, why do we think asset prices have exploded anyway, hmm? I’m sure it doesn’t have anything to do with the unhinged expansion of the money supply by the @federalreserve, which created massive liquidity that ultimately funneled into the assets of the rich people who owned them. You said you learned about Bitcoin, Bill, but did you really? Or did you just watch a couple bankers call it a Ponzi scheme for money launderers and called it a day?

Day 361 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. Bill, in case you’re still wondering why Bitcoin continues trending up, it’s because the money supply continues trending up too. It’s not all that complicated - Bitcoin is an expression of the inflation of fiat.

Day 360 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. I could totally see someone posting this in 2010, or 2013, or even 2019. But after 17 years, after everything that has happened, after the remarkable resilience and growth Bitcoin has demonstrated, I don’t even understand what the argument against Bitcoin could be in 2026. I guess I’ll never know because the opinion below is paywalled…

Day 359 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. Bill, part of why it’s taken me 358 days to persuade you on Bitcoin is because Bitcoin is a lot of things. Yes, at its core, Bitcoin is digital gold - sound money for the modern age. But if that’s a little overwhelming, consider the words of @Croesus_BTC “In essence, sometimes things are bigger than what we can digest, particularly when we are exposed to only a small part of the whole.  This is inevitably the experience when first learning about Bitcoin. “

Never forget

Day 358 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. Bill, after 357 days of persuading you to take Bitcoin seriously, maybe my approach has been all wrong. Everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve.

Day 357 of attempting to convince @billmaher that #Bitcoin is a real thing. The era of artificial intelligence has poured gasoline on an already out of control fire. Fake news and disinformation were already serious threats. Now, in many cases, it’s too burdensome to even try and parse truth from fiction. In such an environment, the world will value real assets that cannot be manipulated, duplicated, or faked. Bitcoin will play an important role as honest money you can’t fuck with.
