Friedrich Hayek on why working for the government is dangerous: “Government work corrupts.” “Some of my best friends who as a result of the war got tied up in government work have ever since been statesmen rather than scholars.”

Did They Find Satoshi Nakamoto? A Clue Hidden for 30 Years The mystery surrounding the identity of Bitcoin's creator remains one of the most fascinating stories of the digital age. image Many have watched documentaries like HBO’s Money Electric and dived into conspiracy theories, but the truth is that no one knows for sure who Satoshi Nakamoto really was. What most people don’t realize is the level of genius required to create something like Bitcoin — not just a digital currency, but a revolution in how we understand trust, value, and freedom on the internet. image Satoshi didn’t just write code; he solved problems that had gone unanswered for decades — like double-spending, digital asset forgery, and how to build a monetary system without intermediaries. It was like reinventing gold — this time, for the digital age. image Satoshi came up with a solution that combined cryptography, economics, game theory, and a near-mythical level of engineering. This isn’t something you build with an MBA or a master’s degree. It’s the work of a genius — the kind who builds the Matrix in a basement. And the most enigmatic part? After creating this revolutionary system, he disappeared. No interviews, no fame. Just silence. Recently, a user discovered what appears to be the #Bitcoin symbol in a 1991 video game called Space Quest. The name of the currency in the game? Buckazoids. A galactic currency — volatile, futuristic, and with a logo that looks eerily familiar. image After this discovery, rumors started circulating that Hal Finney — the first person to ever receive bitcoin from Satoshi — may have worked at Sierra Games, the company behind the game. But then things got even stranger. image Sierra Online, besides Space Quest, was responsible for bringing a game called Silpheed to the U.S., originally released in 1986. One of the developers listed on that project? A man named Satoshi Uesaka. His name appears right next to the Sierra logo. Coincidence — or a clue hidden in plain sight? image And there's more: at the same time, Rod Nakamoto was working on Atari games and also collaborated on Sierra projects. That last name, of course, didn’t go unnoticed by the crypto community. To top it off, Hal Finney himself had connections to game development in the 1980s. image So we have: a Satoshi involved with Sierra, a Nakamoto in the gaming industry, and Hal Finney at the center of it all — all working in creative, technical environments that may have been interconnected. This new theory has it all — mystery, pixelated graphics, science fiction, and the possible origin of Bitcoin hidden in plain sight for over three decades. It might just be another crazy theory… but it’s yet another piece in this puzzle of brilliance, anonymity, and a radical new way of thinking about money. While the world tries to uncover who Satoshi was, one thing is certain: the revolution he started is within everyone’s reach.

Bitcoin’s origin feels almost mythical: – A mysterious, pseudonymous creator – Satoshi never touches his coins – Disappears at the perfect moment – Launches right after the 2008 financial crash – Embeds “Chancellor on brink of bailout” in the first block – Impeccable monetary policy: 21M cap, 4-year halvings – Nearly flawless technology from day one

Yesterday, we saw the biggest intraday move in the S&P 500 since the 2020 pandemic. Fake news about a tariff pause sent the index swinging by 8.5%. But #Bitcoin is the volatile one 😅 image

In the past 72 hours, #Bitcoin has defied the old narrative: “it always drops more than stocks during crises.” While the SPY plunged -11%, #BTC stayed 🟢. The market is shouting: something has changed. Apolitical money ignores political chaos. The future? Everything’s falling — except #Bitcoin.

The mysterious creator of #Bitcoin, known only as Satoshi Nakamoto, chose April 5th as their birthday. No one knows exactly why, but many believe the choice was symbolic: it was on this day, in 1933, that the United States signed Executive Order 6102. Today marks 92 years since President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the confiscation of gold from American citizens. The decree banned private ownership of gold, requiring individuals to hand it over to the government under threat of heavy fines or imprisonment. The goal was to strengthen state control over the economy during the Great Depression by centralizing gold in federal banks and breaking away from the gold standard. This historic event exposed the vulnerability of individual wealth to government intervention — a lesson that still echoes today. Decades later, in 2008, #Bitcoin emerged: a decentralized digital currency, resistant to censorship and confiscation, that gives individuals control over their own wealth. An alternative financial system, built precisely to challenge the state’s monopoly over money.

10 years ago, Mastercard would shut down the account of anyone selling #Bitcoin using their network. Today, they want to let you spend your Bitcoin on their network. But according to your favorite yuppie influencer pushing fixed-loss bonds, Mastercard is about to enter a Ponzi scheme. Bitcoin is the ultimate collateral. It makes perfect sense for credit card companies to offer you credit in fiat currency using your Bitcoin as collateral. It’s a no-brainer, especially considering Bitcoin’s network size. If Mastercard does it, VISA, Amex, and Diners will all follow. No one wants to be left behind. Game theory at its finest. image

Network fees remain low as masses of shitcoiners sell their BTC to hodlers—today, the opportunity cost of shitcoining is simply too high. Faster blocks are also playing a role, with a 3.22% increase in mining power speeding up block production.
