A hardware wallet is just someone else's computer. Nothing magical. Until you understand this, you will always attribute inappropriate levels of "feel good" to it. #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin is the first technology that allows the entire world to join the ruling class in opting out of the plans the ruling class has for the entire world.

The best part about #Lightning is that it proved that L2 payments is possible. The worst part about #Lightning is that we'll probably have to replace it down the line.

Look, if ocean.xyz refuses to go open source they will only be risking whatever moat they may have built for a similar project that does. #Bitcoin

Dispelling #Bitcoin myths. 1. #OSS is the same thing as #FOSS. If it's not free (to use), it's not open source. 2. The 'free' in #FOSS stands for freedom, not price. There are dozens of successful for-profit, #OSS companies. Bitcoiners should insist this standard is maintained. image

#Bitcoin is defiance; any compromise will be shamed.

"But the source code is available, who cares if we add use restrictions to the licensing. Bitcoiners don't care." Fuck you. No. #Bitcoin

I expect freedom and I'm willing to pay for it. Every Bitcoiner is.

Bitcoiners don't "expect things for free", they expect freedom. For-profit, open source is the standard. #Bitcoin

"Nobody cares about open source." Bitcoiners care about #Bitcoin and know there is a long-held tradition of successful for-profit companies maintaining the open source ethos. Product moats have *always* come from reputation, not government. Build things people love, and they'll be customers for life. Decieve, and they will question their loyalty. Open source is about being an honest #Bitcoin company.
