ODELL RETURNS TO X TO RESCUE HIS PEOPLE OMG LIKE THE LION KING

I love it when the tourists go home. It means Christmas is around the corner.

The 2024-2026 class of Bitcoin was the worst fucking cohort ever. I hope they are throwing up on their shoes right now. I'm glad they are rekt and I hope they lose more.

'The problem here is that people want "Bitcoiner" to be some kind of all-encompassing personal identity, and it's just not, and it never was.' '... by trying to stretch Bitcoin into a "thick" identity, people wind up just adopting a basket of MAGA-adjacent "Qanon Shaman" beliefs systems to spackle in the gaps of "how do I live?"'

It always amazes me how an insignificantly small number of bitcoiners who don't mine or contribute in any materially meaningful way still think they are the main characters. They tend to see bitcoin as some sort of prophetic cause, the apotheosis of which is that the bankers will be vanquished and the food will be fixed and everyone gets a puppy and half a cow. You guys realize this is just a LARP right? It's a richly fleshed-out fantasy world built on crusty libertarian/ancap/agorist/Austrian ideas that never penetrate into real life. I think that's important to realize, because some of you are making life decisions around what is effectively a game of pretend. You're moving to literal dangerous places of the world. You're sinking irresponsible amounts of personal capital and credit into a computer science experiment that may not shake out.

Bitcoin doesnt make people better. It actually turns them into little, petty gremlins who fight with each other when the price goes down.
