The western hemisphere used to be defined by a high-trust, cohesive worldview. This is been deeply broken. Over the next couple of months, we will be launching and relaunching apps that return us, verifiably, to being a high trust culture. Watch this space.

MOVIES ON BITCOIN

I would be for Bitcoin Monasteries killing AI. memory.money

Rule of thumb, when someone calls you a "cultist" for defending Satoshi's vision, like GarBabbage does, that person is an enemy of #Bitcoin. People who want to kill Satoshi's vision are enemies of #BSV. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it:

I created the phrase "Satoshi's vision" over a decade ago, defending the original promises set out by Satoshi Nakamoto for #Bitcoin. The concept has been wildly successful and that is why trolls like Babbage hate and attack it, and despise those of us who defend the real Bitcoin:

Bitcoin is the most centralized asset ever, marketed as “decentralized.” If you understand how the Bitcoin blockchain actually works, it becomes obvious that it is not immutable or untouchable. The code can be changed, and the chain can be controlled through coordination. For those who don’t know, Bitcoin runs on a single public blockchain, and control of that chain comes from who produces the blocks. Today, block production is dominated by only 4 mining pools: Foundry USA (30%), AntPool (18%), ViaBTC (11%), and F2Pool (10%). Together, the top pools routinely control over 65% of total hash power, and the top 5 over 75%. Officially, these pools are “separate” on paper, but they all work together. They share the exact same private funding, have same aligned incentives, and overlapping miners. This creates a de facto centralization where a single group influences block production, censors transactions, or pushes protocol changes at will. In reality, fewer than 10 people control most of Bitcoin through the top mining pools and core developers. Revealed from the Epstein files, Israel also funded much of this early development, covering over 60% of the core developers’ salaries. “Decentralized” is purely marketing. Stablecoins give this same cabal another lever over Bitcoin. They want prices up? Easy. They print unbacked Tether or USDC out of thin air and inject it into exchanges they control or influence, like FTX (before it collapsed), Binance, Bitfinex, Coinbase, and others. They want prices down? Just pretend to burn the coins, trigger panic, and the market enters a bear phase. These mechanisms make Bitcoin’s price highly manipulable despite its “free market” image. When a small group produces most of the blocks, transaction censorship, reordering, and enforced protocol changes are no longer hypothetical. Bitcoin is marketed as pseudo-anonymous and seizure-resistant, yet governments have seized millions of dollars in BTC with ease. Do you ever wonder how? The 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware payment was traced and recovered almost immediately by the FBI, which they later admitted they got access to the wallet’s private key (Very sus!). Similar seizures occurred with Silk Road, the Bitfinex hack funds, and multiple darknet and ransomware cases. This level of enforcement is incompatible with claims of true privacy or sovereignty. They clearly have backdoor access. Bitcoin functions like a Trojan horse. It was hyped as a financial miracle, sold to the masses, and accepted without skepticism. In reality, it is a speculative gambling chip, heavily surveilled and quietly managed by insiders. Strip away the mythology and it is no more valuable than a digital beanie baby with better marketing.

"Bitcoin is designed as a means to stop socialism and anarchy" CSW

Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, and the rest didn't make Bitcoin obsolete. They proved there was demand for what Bitcoin was supposed to do. The mistake is thinking they're free. They aren't. You pay through merchant fees, banking fees, account restrictions, chargeback risk, inflation, compliance costs, identity requirements, surveillance, frozen accounts, transaction limits, and an entire infrastructure of intermediaries taking their cut somewhere in the chain. People don't notice because the cost is hidden. The greatest trick banks ever pulled was convincing people that paying indirectly means paying nothing. As for whether people care about intermediaries, most don't—until the intermediary says no. Nobody cares about censorship until they're censored. Nobody cares about account freezes until their account is frozen. Nobody cares about permission until permission is denied. The real question isn't whether Venmo can move money from Alice to Bob. Of course it can. The question is whether a global digital economy should require permission from a handful of corporations and banks every time value moves. And this is where people often misunderstand Bitcoin. The competition was never Venmo. The competition was the entire financial infrastructure underneath Venmo. Venmo is just a user interface sitting on top of banks, payment processors, clearing systems, compliance departments, regulators, card networks, and settlement institutions. Bitcoin's original promise was a system where the network itself performed settlement, transaction processing, and record keeping without needing that stack. The reason BTC abandoned that vision was because it concluded the network itself could not scale sufficiently. So now we get the strange spectacle of people celebrating systems that increasingly resemble the banking infrastructure Bitcoin was originally meant to replace. As for adoption, consumers are only one piece of the puzzle. The far larger market is machine-to-machine payments, data payments, micropayments, API calls, content payments, streaming payments, audit trails, supply chains, and commercial systems where fractions of a cent matter and where existing payment rails are either too expensive or too cumbersome. A person buying coffee is a tiny market. Billions of automated transactions between systems is a much larger one. The irony is that critics often look at Bitcoin and ask, "Why would I use it instead of Venmo?" That is roughly equivalent to looking at the internet in 1992 and asking, "Why would I use this instead of a fax machine?" It's the wrong comparison. The interesting applications are usually the ones people haven't built yet.

The problem with being ahead of the curve is everyone thinks you're retarded

Lol I started this, I will be the one to end it

Simple version -- original bitcoin scaled to potentially billions of TPS. BSV is technically relevant to my work as a large-scale public timestamping, micropayment, and data-integrity system built around the original UTXO model, Merkle proofs, script validation, and simplified payment verification. The important point is not speculative token economics, but the engineering structure: transactions form a directed acyclic dependency graph, are committed into Merkle trees, and are ordered through proof-of-work blocks. That creates a public evidentiary ledger in which data commitments, payments, contractual conditions, and audit trails can be bound to a single time-ordered transaction history.

If you think a price chart helps you learn anything about bitcoin, you don’t understand anything about bitcoin.

I have a master’s degree in political science, a master’s degree in geography with a 4.0 GPA, a PhD in law, a PhD in economics, a master’s degree in finance, a master’s degree in econometrics, a master’s degree in statistics, a master’s degree in history, and enough formal education to occupy a small shelf of university registrars. Yet every week a man armed with an infographic and a grievance arrives to explain economics to me. One must admire the courage. It takes a special sort of confidence to discover a chart showing the long-term decline in the purchasing power of a currency and imagine one has thereby solved monetary economics, public finance, demography, political history, labour markets, capital formation, fiscal policy, sovereign debt, and economic growth. The medieval alchemists at least had the decency to admit they were searching for answers. The modern internet economist finds a picture on social media and concludes he has already found them. The truly amusing part is not that these people are wrong. Everyone is wrong from time to time. The amusing part is that they believe a century of economic history can be reduced to a single line on a graph and a slogan about money printing. After a while, one begins to suspect they are not studying economics at all. They are collecting comforting stories. And then they wonder why people who have actually spent decades studying these subjects are less impressed by an infographic than they are.
