#bitcoin is the best performing asset since last 11 years & it may continue this trend for many years. It is mind boggling that, still most of the people are not interested to find out, what is that hidden thing or secret for its success? It is time folks: #studybitcoin #btc    Hundreds of books on bitcoin Thousands of Bitcoin Podcast Millions of Youtube videos on bitcoin Billions of Tweets and Twitter spaces

E172: @Saylor: Why Hard Work Won't Make You Rich Michael Saylor is the chairman of @Strategy - the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin with over 840,000 BTC and $65 billion deployed. He bought his first Bitcoin in 2020 when the Fed cut rates to zero hasn't stopped since. With WSH, I always want to go much deeper than the current narrative and that’s exactly what we did here. We gradually moved past the surface and into the things that really shaped Michael. We talked about his childhood, growing up in a military family, buying domain names in the 1990s and flipping them for tens of millions, losing $6 billion of his net worth in a single day during the dot-com bubble, his great Apple bet in 2012, why working hard won't make you rich, why you should mortgage your house but probably not sell your kidney to buy BTC, why "THERE IS NO SECOND BEST", and a lot more. The conversation lasted more than two hours, much longer than originally planned, and it was just amazing. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Martti Malmi, one of Bitcoin's earliest developers, just released a new version of Nostr VPN, an open-source mesh VPN that replaces the entire trust model of traditional VPN services. Traditional VPNs route all your traffic through a central server operated by a company you have to trust. They see your data. They require your email. They can log your activity. They can be subpoenaed, hacked, or shut down. Even modern mesh VPNs like Tailscale, which improved on this by sending data peer-to-peer, still require you to authenticate through a centralized coordination server using third-party accounts like Google or Microsoft. Nostr VPN eliminates the central server entirely. Your identity is a Nostr keypair, a self-generated cryptographic key pair with no registration, no email, no third-party account. The underlying transport layer is FIPS (Free Internetworking Peering System), a self-organizing encrypted mesh network where nodes authenticate each other, route traffic for each other, and establish connections without any central authority or global topology knowledge. Each node's Nostr public key (npub) serves as its network address. The architecture uses two layers of encryption: hop-by-hop encryption between peers and independent end-to-end encryption between mesh endpoints with periodic rekeying for forward secrecy. When direct connections fail due to NAT issues, the system falls back to Nostr-based multihop routing through other FIPS nodes rather than relying on company-operated relay servers. Peer discovery and NAT traversal happen through public Nostr relays using encrypted gift-wrapped messages. The new release adds native desktop apps for macOS, Linux, and Windows, an Android app, Nostr-based multihop routing for when NAT holepunching fails, and improved network management. It supports UDP, TCP, Ethernet, Tor, and Bluetooth transports simultaneously on a single mesh. This is what happens when you apply Bitcoin's design philosophy, permissionless, self-sovereign, no trusted third parties, to networking infrastructure. Built by one of the people who helped Satoshi build Bitcoin in 2009.

Should I buy #Bitcoin or Ethereum? 🤔

12 years of school.

 Then 6 Bitcoin books undo everything.

#Bitcoin Momentum shifting? Monthly LMACD is turning light red after 7 months of deep red. Price can still move lower or continue ranging, but structurally, conditions are starting to resemble previous bottoms.

Bitcoin breaks out above the post-October high resistance. Retest of $90K next

ALL OF THIS IS TRUE… “Keep your eye on how much the Government is spending because that is the true tax…as there IS NO SUCH THING as an unbalanced budget. You PAY FOR IT either in the form of taxes…or indirectly in the form of inflation or debt…” -Milton Friedman

Tim Pool and Jack Mallers speak on Bitcoin and says, “The US dollar system is a Ponzi scheme.” “What the government basically does by printing money, they do no labor but convince you to give you theirs... they use that to fund wars.”

Sell Bitcoin... for What? Explained in 7 minutes.

What Bitcoin traders miss: 👇 They bet on repeating cycles—sell the top, buy the bottom—like the last 3. But if that worked forever, they'd hoard all BTC, impossible. BTC is finite math, destined for global distribution via rising adoption. Underneath, demand surges quietly. One day, price moons; no "bottom" comes. Bias whispers "wait for the dip," they miss the run, FOMO-buy high, end up with less sats. Bitcoin humbles traders. Winners? HODLers & steady accumulators via DCA/lumpsum in cold storage. Play long-term, or get played. #BTC #HODL

Bitcoin ownership changed massively in 2025. More in next week’s report on Bitcoin adoption.

Bitcoin self-custody. How it started: How it’s going:

The stock market is “smashing records” in dollars because the US keeps printing money and stealing from the American people via inflation. Measured in assets the US can’t print, like Bitcoin or Gold, the stock market is getting crushed. Should we talk about that?

RT @Excellion: Tick tock, next block.

The paragraph that finally convinced me to buy Bitcoin. I hope you are paying attention. 🧡🇺🇸 “Unsound money was a boon to tyrants, repressive regimes, and illegitimate governments by allowing them to avoid the reality of costs and benefits by increasing the money supply to finance their undertakings first, and letting the population handle the consequences later as they witness their wealth and purchasing power evaporate. History is replete with examples of how governments that have the prerogative to create money out of thin air have almost always abused this privilege by turning it against their own people.” (p. 152. para 2) 📙The Bitcoin Standard By Saifedean Ammous: @saifedean 📙 #bitcoin
