🛑 The ONLY system that can't be shut down runs on the same principles as the Deep Web. #TheFirstPrinciples Tip: Bitcoin is a money network designed to bypass gatekeepers. This is Censorship Resistance 101, taught outside of Wall Street. 1. 👻 It's Distributed - Like a TOR connection, your transaction hops through thousands of nodes worldwide. Shutting down one server does absolutely nothing. 2. 🤝 It's Permissionless - Anyone (using their Xfce/Arch setup, for instance) can run a full node and verify transactions. You don't need a license or permission. 3. 🧱 The Protocol is Dumb - It doesn't care who you are, what country you're in, or why you're sending money. It only verifies the math. It cannot be lobbied. 💡 Did you come to crypto for profit, or for the freedom from control? Be honest. #CensorshipResistance #TOR #Decentralization #2012OG #Bitcoin

🤯 If a digital service is "free," you are not the customer. You are the product. #TheFirstPrinciples Tip: Stop chasing "free" transactions. How the $0 fee myth became the biggest hidden cost in fiat: 1. 💰 The Hidden Fee - The bank/platform takes your data, uses your money on their terms, and can censor your transactions. The real price is your control. 2. ⚖️ The Real Fee - Bitcoin transactions cost money because you are renting a small piece of Global, Trustless Settlement power—enforced by all those miners. 3. 🚫 No Hidden Fees - The network fee is visible, auditable, and non-negotiable. You pay the transparent cost for Absolute Sovereignty. 💡 What hidden cost are you paying right now for "free" banking ? #BitcoinFees #Privacy #Control #2012OG

🚨 You are one lost phone or bad screenshot away from $0. #TheFirstPrinciples Tip: Never confuse a password manager with a life preserver. The only safe place for your seed phrase is outside the digital world. This is non-negotiable OG security. 1. 💻 Digital = Compromise - Any text, screenshot, cloud sync, or encrypted file on a computer/phone can be remotely accessed, eventually. This includes Bitwarden/Obsidian (for the seed itself). 2. 📝 Write it Down - Your 12 or 24 words must be written down, verified, and stored redundantly and analog (e.g., steel, paper). 3. 🔑 Your New Boss - You traded the bank for a ledger only you can control. That means you are the security system now. There is no password reset button. 💡 What’s your biggest fear: Losing your keys, or letting a centralized exchange hold them? #SelfCustody #Security #NotYourKeys #2012OG

#TheFirstPrinciples Tip: Bitcoin's Halving is the moment the Gold Miners' boss can't change the rules. Imagine 100 miners extracting 1 kg of gold every single day. They know their reward. Then, one pre-programmed day, the reward instantly drops to 0.5 kg, without any vote, meeting, or government decree. That sudden, enforced cut in new supply is the Halving. It creates a trustless, absolute scarcity that no central bank, miner, or politician can override. This is why we're here. 💡 What happens to gold miners who suddenly lose half their revenue? Drop your thoughts. #Bitcoin #Halving #Scarcity #2012OG

Great point on the Durov interview! 🤣 The fact he funded his lifestyle off 2013s BTC while building a privacy fortress (Telegram) is the ultimate middle finger to the old system. You can’t put a price on that kind of financial freedom. It’s the OG lesson: Autonomy is the ultimate alpha. And it’s only possible because of that core censorship-resistance. #2012OG #Privacy #Telegram #Decentralization

What "Free, Open-Source Decentralized Internet Money" Looked Like in 2012. 💾🔑 My crypto journey journey started in 2012, playing CS 1.6. A friend was dropping $1760 on a Bitcoin mining setup. I couldn't afford it (lower-middle-class fam), but that high-stakes risk forced me to study. This OG conflict is the foundation of my security ethos. 👇 ⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢ Pillar 1: The First Principles 🛡️ The research began with Google, YouTube, and quickly led to the TOR deep web, SOCKS5 proxy, and VPNs. This wasn't about price. It was about control and open-source security. That relentless pursuit of knowing 100% of background services is the exact reason I run Arch Linux today. I need to be the judge. In 2012, we skimmed core concepts like Halving and block reward. The technicals were secondary to the core philosophy: Bitcoin was "Free open source decentralized internet money" that couldn't be controlled by central banks or three-letter agencies. This remains the first principle of my education. My first transaction was small (worth about 5K INR (~$60) between 2012-2013). It was purely a learning exercise in how the seed phrase actually worked. 👉 The Lesson: The seed phrase is the absolute key. Losing it means losing everything (a lesson tragically confirmed later by a family member who lost their coins). ⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢ Pillar 2: The OG Risk Assessment 📉 I showed my parents a video about a Chinese Bitcoin mine (youtube.com/watch?v=K8kua5B5…). My parents have always been supportive. Despite our low savings, Mom instantly said "Buy it, I will give you the money" and offered to buy a miner. I had to say no. Why? Prudent risk calculation. The Antminer S1 was around 150K INR (~ $1760) with a 100-days warranty shipping from China. Risky. If the machine broke before the 10-12 month ROI window, I would have bankrupted the family for speculation. 👉 2012 Lesson: Never risk your family's financial security for speculation. ⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢ Pillar 3: The Education 📚 I built a custom PC in 2011 to have control and even ran a Bitcoin node for a couple of days between 2012-2015. This early hunger for control and decentralization is why I teach today. I simplify complex concepts of Cryptocurrencies/Blockchain using relatable analogies and my own personal experience of over 13 years. The goal is to move beyond price and teach security and control. ⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢⇢ ✍ Next post: A simple #2012Security tip on why Bitwarden is more than just a password manager. ✍Follow @The2012Crypto for simple, security-first crypto education.

Ég flutti þangað í 2012og bankanna ner tékka til að borga með. Svakalegt að fá kort og ég gat ekki borgað húsaleigu nema með tékka 🤷🏻

@Elzywellings 22nd 32:26 (1 sec slower than 2012OG) great run considering hampered prep. @Madheinerhills 26th 32:48 just her 3rd track 10k

For the first time in history 7 women cracked 11 sec in the same race. Previous high was 6 at 2012OG, 1999 WC and 2015 US Champ
