On one side, you have Bitcoiners obliviously talking about how Bitcoin will save the world. On the other side, you have Bitcoiners fighting tooth and nail for the thing to not become Ethereum. Fascinating to watch.

When it comes to Bitcoin, I am more of a learner than an educator. However, I don't always come across as a learner... A fix is applied. My stance is adjusting. I'm humbling the ego in me.

Exactly 15 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto made his final post on the #Bitcoin forum. The day after he edited the post, then logged off forever. Calling him "Legend" falls short🧡

13 years ago today, on November 28, 2012 at around 5:24 PM CET, the first Bitcoin halving took place. 🟧 The block reward was reduced from 50 to 25 BTC. 🟧 Hard to imagine today: those 25 BTC were worth only about $300 at the time.

I’ve never kept a job long. Not because I’m lazy, because I can’t take orders. A strict father. Demanding teachers. By the time I had my first job, no boss could pay me into obedience. I’d rather be broke than controlled. And I was broke a lot. In 2015 I got my first job that paid really well. Finally had money to gamble. So I got into chasing crypto pumps. I had money and I wanted to get rich. But of course, I kept losing money, and I wanted to understand why. So I traveled to San Diego for a crypto event. There, I met a smelly old man. He introduced me to Bitcoin. He looked frantic and obsessed. I thought he was nuts. But he kept repeating a sentence that was music to my ears: “No central authority”. Those three words changed everything. I dove head first into the rabbit hole, hoping to find something interesting. I was never a good student, but Bitcoin had me reading, studying. And the more I read, the less I understood. But a few crucial pieces fell into place: Math doesn’t lie and physics don’t negotiate. And Bitcoin is guarded by both! For the first time in my life, I found something I can fully rely on! I spent almost two decades running from authority. I burned down every power relationship rather than submit. And Bitcoin doesn’t ask for submission. It just runs. Altcoins? Altcoins have authority figures. That's the difference.

Will Bitcoin have a date with destiny? According to Benjamin Cowen, history says it will. That means Bitcoin moves 30-40% lower until next October. Are you ready to stomach that drop? I am. #Bitcoin

@Border Wallets is WILDLY underrated.

Andreas Antonopoulos is why I’m here. His 2013 and 2014 talks didn’t just orange-pill me - they convinced me to spend my life working on Bitcoin. I read his books. I went deep because he went deep. Today, he supports spam on Bitcoin. I didn't know about his 2018 'Mastering Ethereum' book until today. Until today, he was still a hero. Andreas taught me that Bitcoin works because YOU can run a node and decide what goes in it. Now he’s backing something that is making this hard. The lesson he taught me, verify everything, truly means verify everything. Even him. The people who bring you into Bitcoin aren’t Bitcoin. The protocol is. And the protocol doesn’t care about your heroes. Maybe I won’t kill my hero today, but I’ll learn from him twice… When he’s right, and when he’s wrong.

When I remember that it took 25 years for credit cards to become mainstream, I relax my shoulders and appreciate the fact that we're early.

Anyone else feel like we are building a beautiful world for hundreds of generations to come? More and more people are choosing a conscious lifestyle, away from constant distractions and temptations, and deeper into love, effort, hard work, real education, passion, community, meaningful endeavors, and peace. The future looks promising, to say the least ♥️

What's a commonly held belief or assumption that is limiting innovation? "Rejecting materialism" is probably not the first thing you'd think about (it wasn't for me) but Pierre makes a solid point here. Morphing our redundant need to continuously buy new 'stuff' limits our ability to consume more in the future, and we give ourselves room to innovate, build and create something, thanks to the power of delayed gratification. What other commonly held beliefs and assumptions limit belief?

I ask @Pierre Rochard to share an anecdote where he had to surge past difficulty and adversity. I love his response; we usually give up right before we experience a break-through. In a moment of being ready to give it all up, but decide to give it one more go, is strangely where the magic happens. Have you had such experience before?
