The war for the best, most free, and neutral money will not be fought and won solely on the battleground of privacy. Instead, its fate will ultimately be decided on the battleground of custody.
Because unless a significant enough portion of the supply is held in self-custody, control will inevitably revert back to those central authorities who would gladly prefer to hold your bitcoin for you.

Former host of The Bitcoin News Show. Creator of https://bitcoindev.org. Bitcoin Is. And that is enough.
Stop giving interviews to Roger, he does nothing but lie.
If you did just 5 minutes of research you'd see he:
-Vouched for MtGox solvency
-Promoted $700M Bitclub ponzi
-partnered & promoted Craig Wright
-partnered & promoted $36M ICO FuzeX scam
-promoted shitokens like Hex
-Put a "Buy Bitcoin" button that sells you BCash
-Denied he did any of these things
I don't know who needs to hear this but rollups are not a valid scaling solution for bitcoin.
Glad MSTR is going up in dollars but holding anything other than bitcoin is essentially short bitcoin.


The only actual bitcoin L2s on this website are LN, Mercury and Ark. Liquid, Stacks and Rootstock are credible sidechains but not L2s.

ICOs were unregulated securities, NFTs are a joke, DeFi was full of scams and putting JPEGs on a blockchain is just as dumb as putting bananas on a blockchain.
Waiting for this fad to pass like the rest.
ETHEREUM IS AND ALWAYS WAS AN UNLICENSED UNREGISTERED SECURITY.
Welcome to law.
I tried to tell Roger that he was wrong in private DMs and exactly why he would ultimately lose but he refused to listen, and now he's crying about losing in a book. What a sad, pathetic soul.
In the early days I helped create a petition to get Coinbase to support segwit, and it worked, maybe we have to do it again to get them to support the Lightning Network.
Recording an episode of the WBD (What Bitcoin Did) podcast on Monday and I'm going to mention #LNHANCE as much as possible.
Been trying to tell people since 2017-2018 that LN will slowly but surely become the interoperable layer that connects bitcoin to every other financial network on the planet.

Andreas just now finally saying what I've been saying for the past year which is that #LightningNetwork will act as the interoperable application l...

Today I'm thankful for all the hardworking people in bitcoin. There's so many of you that will forever go unseen, unheard and are 100% completely fine with that. I salute you.
Wow people have completely forgotten or are unaware of the scaling efficiencies created in bitcoin over the past 10 years and literally think L1 doesn't scale at all just b/c it's not as efficient as layers above it.
There have been several improvements to L1 in the last 10 years some of which created order of magnitude efficiencies.
Schnorr for example in taproot can be many 100s of percent faster than ECDSA depending on what you're using it for.
Bitcoin is not finished.
If you think we've won you're apart of the problem. Don't let complacency suppress what you know to be true.
We still have a long road ahead.
Early days.
Good lord people I can't believe I have to spell this out.
In order to scale on L2 and above there first needs to be changes made on L1.
L2 cannot exist without L1, you cannot magically scale L2 forever without making serious changes to L1.
It's always a pleasure to ratio scammers and FUDsters like Udi.
Looks like TRON just dropped their Bitcoin Layer 2 scam info.
Stay alert, these layer 2 scams will be coming in hot and heavy for this cycle.
Been getting major Roger Ver vibes from all the #fixthefilter people. Just learn how to program people, life would be so much easier.
Don't be like me. Buy as much bitcoin as you can and then shut the fuck up.
I'm so old I remember when people were asking and telling eachother's bitcoin balances on twitter.
