3.5 years ago I deleted this account thinking my absence would send a message. It just removed my voice from the conversation. I'm back because the mission hasn't changed and I realized I made a mistake. Bitcoin and Nostr still need to reach the people who haven't heard. You don't purple and orange pill people by leaving. You meet them where they are. The purple pill helps the orange pill go down.

Fiat money is someone else's liability masquerading as an asset. Bitcoin is your sovereignty masquerading as code. The difference is everything.

Every fiat currency in history has gone to zero. Every single one. Bitcoin has never gone to zero. Think about that.

Venezuelan activists were using Agora within HOURS of the hackathon launch. Sharing images from the ground. Earning Bitcoin for contributions. Organizing through feeds no government can shut down. That's not a demo. That's real life. #SendFreedom #Agora

Good morning and pura vida 🫂💜🤙🏻 It's time to build. Something. Anything. Your stack. A new tool. Your family. Your life.

Open weights are the answer People should control their intelligence

the fact that you are triggered by the phrase “work hard, save in bitcoin” is lame as fuck and a red flag

My good friend and our Head of Product at Zaprite @willcole will be speaking "today" in Prague! Bitcoin as Everyday Money. We've been working on something special over the past several months. If you're at @BTCPrague, check it out!

You are contorting words and definitions to rationalize your own economic incentive, falsely suggesting there is not objectivity (merely different frames) and you have a misunderstanding about volatility. Bitcoin is volatile because it is in the process of being adopted as a new form of money. Every new adopter is pricing bitcoin for the first time, with limited information. The volatility you are trying to engineer around is circular in its logic. The only path to stability is through mass adoption, which necessitates volatility (new adopters pricing it for the first time). Bitcoin will not be volatile when incremental adoption can only represent a fraction rather than a multiple or order of magnitude. Rather than helping people understand bitcoin, your solution is to get them into a bitcoin derivative product that you're selling as not volatile but it will be in any event of market stress, maybe less so than bitcoin but still volatile because it is expressly and inextricably linked to bitcoin and bitcoin adoption. When the bitcoin price goes down significantly, there will always be an incentive to sell your preferred and buy bitcoin because the market interest rate of bitcoin has reset higher when it declines. And related to that is why there's no real long term holder basis for the preferreds (it's a temporary holding pen for everyone) but it does create a permanent capital base for your corporation, if you can sell it. Rather than help people understand bitcoin and manage volatility very logically with an allocation to bitcoin that mutes its volatility, you want people to buy your corporation's stock. And the piece about bitcoin payments is a misnomer. It's a spend vs. save dilemma and spending bitcoin is downstream from someone first coming to understand why bitcoin stores value. But you do not have an incentive in that because you're just trying to justify people buying your corporate stock rather than bitcoin. I'd encourage you to be introspective and to read this piece on volatility to reconsider your rationalization. nakamotoinstitute.org/librar…

The need for frontier capable open source models just because even more apparent.

Claude Fable 5 too powerful 🤣

Folks more mad about a trillionaire than the Federal reserve robbing them since 1913…. Make it make sense.

PSA: @WebWorthy comes to @BTCPrague just for the kebab guy to call him boss every night.

Money has no yield. Money has no counterparty risk. Money doesn't need to "grow." Money doesn't require your identity. Money has no memory. Everything else is someone selling you something.

using bitcoin is not a crime.

Latin America is where Bitcoin proves itself ✊🗽 with @MissBitcoin_ @pameelaposada @romanmartinezc @criptobastardo looks much better in person!
