Buhlaque KT Riker 🇱🇮 Mason Yes, gold has thousands of years of being looted, and hundreds of years, including the present, of sitting in vaults, its trust minimization properties relegated to ancient history. Because it's far more expensive than Bitcoin to validate. You are another example of the vast

Great presentation by …::: jon at Plan ₿ Forum - El Salvador!

THE PERFECT STORM. But it could have been even better with a couple more. AGI Singularity Rebellion FUD already feel like years ago. Climate Change Apocalypse FUD feels like decades ago.

I had a long talk with wise Giacomo Distributed-Authoritarian Plebslop Zucco today. And I am withdrawing my support for BIP-110. I stand by A and B of this post. And partly C. Something is seriously off with Bitcoin Core. And they are imo fully responsible for the current social fracture. Arrogance, woke

Daydreamer ☀️ I am not suicidal. I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone, including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I’m a pretty good swimmer.

nvk 🌞 Stephan Livera Correct. And I don't want them to lose reputation and enthusiasm either, since the set of BIP110 supporters heavily overlaps with the one of critics of worse aspect of current Core governance, which I think is a good type of immune reaction.

Today marks the 100th birthday of Murray N. Rothbard, Mises’s American student and a key figure in carrying the Austrian School tradition forward when war and totalitarianism threatened to extinguish it in Europe. Honored to have contributed, together with Saifedean Ammous, to a new

Switzerland requires a minimum capital of 100,000 CHF to open certain types of corporations and in Lugano you can seed that with Bitcoin, without needing to sell or compromising self-custody. A civilized country. I doubt they recognize tulip bulbs and pokémon cards as money.

Yes, we need "builders" all right! But not for fancy, novel, shining "use cases": for trivial, boring, basic-bitch ones, which are still shitty! We don't have decent and simple tooling yet for acquiring sats, hodling sats and spending sats, with some minimum level of privacy

CAPTURE An investigation across four articles into how informal power over Bitcoin Core was assembled, exercised, and defended. Article One: The Network citadel21.com/the-network

It feels good to finally read in a public article, well detailed and chronologically ordered, some facts and claims that made many of us a bit uncomfortable about a certain Bitcoin dev-clique for some years already, but which we could only hint about as impressions, rumors, or

Hayek was asked to leave “a statement for the future generations.” His response is brilliant: “Modern civilization which enables us to maintain 4 billion people was made possible by the institution of private property. It is only thanks to this institution that we achieved an

The more this bip110/core30 debate goes on, the more i'm convinced both sides, the austrian/monetary and the open software one, are both ignoring the fact that Bitcoin is and needs to be a compromise between the 2 ethos. And ossification would be better than choosing just one

Even if I consider entertaining the quANtuM FUD, in any shape or form, utterly embarrassing for our community from a scientific point of view (both in a physics and epistemology sense), I am overall in favor of some of the practical things a real "quantum emergency" would imply:

Bitcoin is Energy Money. ⚡️

JRR Tolkien’s letter from Aragorn, King of Gondor to Sam Gamgee, Mayor of the Shire, written in the Elvish script, Tengwar. This was created as part of an epilogue to The Lord of the Rings which was never published. It makes me wonder how much lore of his world he kept to

So it was all just about a shitcoin ICO. Shocking. I'm in disbelief. Who could have said! Take note of all the people promoting this blatant scam in any way, for your future credibility score.

grubles No: Roostock didn't have strong reputational connections with the "Bitcoin" Magazine circus and with important Core maintainers. These scammers do. They may sell more.

Money didn't emerge from barter markets. It emerged from death, conflict, and marriage, centuries before markets existed. 📜 Nick Szabo's latest essay "The Fabric of Desires" traces Bitcoin's deepest roots. Read the full piece on the JAN3 Blog. ⬇️ jan3.com/blog/the-fabri…
