If the window to exchange fiat for Bitcoin is closing rapidly, then so is the window to effectively learn how to employ people or machines that will want to work for your Bitcoin. You can learn today, you have time. There will come a point when you are either effective at managing your stack like a thrifty entrepreneur, or you will be had for not preparing in time.

$XYZ block is a picks and shovels play into the first years of real Bitcoin scarcity. Everyone knows it's scarce, we talk about the halving etc, but I think the true essence of how scarce it really is hasn't manifested. You're a Bitcoiner, you can read tea leaves, any innovation in Bitcoin mining should be looked at.

If there's one thing institutional money is good at it is marketing. The large operators have always had a way of telling the retail public one thing, but doing another. Their actions are painted on charts, data doesn't have opinions. GM

People are up in arms about @Peter McCormack hiring a security detail, but no one AFAIK is talking about this. Sounds like lazy government wanting to outsource it's responsibility to a tech platform. Good on ya Pete. image

USD stablecoins are infinite loss coins. They are defective assets mainly transacted on defective networks. GM

The ICE enforcement is a glaring example that KYC and sharing your information with the government, or ANY data broker is a horrible idea. When an unstoppable force (BTC) meets and immovable object (US gov debt) there will be friction.

Andreas rejected the zealous behavior that rose out of the block size wars. This reaction was one of, if not the first emergent complex behavior that Bitcoin produced. Did Andreas get his analysis of the reaction incorrect? Or was he justified in disliking the emergence of Bitcoin maximalism.

No, using custodial lightning isn't "purely sovereign" - but if you're using this service & self custodying Bitcoin and running a node - you have achieved one of the highest levels of monetary sovereignty that has ever existed. Congratulations and GM

I'm seeing a lot of "How can I get one whole coin" content floating around out there. Makes me think we're at an inflection point. This path diverges from stacking whole coins into stacking sats. Unit bias be damned - of all the roadblocks to understanding Bitcoin, this one isn't even on the radar.

USD that would be going into the corn is making it's way into Bitcoin treasury plays. USD that wants access to the corn knows how to get it, especially if it's in size. Treasury companies are steering USD capital away from the corn.

Peer to peer soap distribution this past weekend at #LakeSatoshi went so well. Grateful for all of the people I was able to share some time with. Morning swims, campfire conversations, and laughs all around. image

@UNCLE ROCKSTAR GM bro. I'm wondering if Bitcoinize POS machines can have fiat apps downloaded to them too to accept USD. Been doing business in bitcoin only for a year, and thinking about scaling up to fiat markets.

If you look younger than thirty five, and you tell me you were mining bitcoins in 2009 I'm calling bullshit. I've met so many people who have told me they were early to Bitcoin, but their story doesn't add up...liars. Old women, young men - they were humans looking for connection. You don't have to lie to get this.
