Rumors of Powell resigning. Ukraine bombing Russia and likely delaying peace talks. Israel potentially getting ready to bomb Iran. Gearing up to be a chaotic week. Find safety in sats.

I was sitting in the crowd for @miles 🌞' presentation when he pulled up this slide using @TFTC as an example of how bitcoin is being used via Podcasting 2.0. Surreal to have TFTC included in one of the most powerful keynotes at the conference. Block is crushing it.

This seems like a terrible idea.

Explained Nostr to Dr. Robert Malone and Luke Rudkowski on the Main Stage at the conference this afternoon. We are so early. As AI bots proliferate being able to authenticate content with a private key will be a necessity and spam prevention via micropayment paywalls to post will grow in popularity.

The beauty of bitcoin is the simplicity of its design. There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin. Blocks come in every ~10 minutes. The difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks. The block subsidy gets cut in half every 210,000 blocks. Blockspace is limited. A transaction must be valid to get included in a block. In a hyper-financialized and centrally planned global economy bitcoin's simplicity is counterintuitive. "Monetary systems are complex. It can't be this easy." Not only CAN money be simple, but it SHOULD be simple. We've been brought up in a counterproductive centralized system and humanity has succeeded in many areas in spite of the central planners. Imagine what we'll be able to do when the central planners are replaced with a simple, neutral and incorruptible permissionless monetary network. Those who abide by and adapt around bitcoin's simple rule set will be able to coordinate economic activity with orders of magnitude more certainty than they have today. No more guessing about what the Fed will do, how much debt the Treasury plans on issuing or whether or not capital controls will be turned on like a light switch. That all goes away under a Bitcoin Standard. Keep it simple, stupid.

Spoke with someone who started a daily DCA into bitcoin recently. "I was sitting there waiting for the right time to get in. Looking for a dip or an influx of cash to make a sizable buy and eventually I looked up and six moths went by. So I decided to just start buying a little every day." This is the right mentality. Get off zero. Too many people wait for an "opportune time" to get into bitcoin and miss out on massive runs. Bitcoin is a game of "time in the market" not "timing the market". If you miss the best 10-15 days of bitcoin performance in a year you'll miss out on most of the purchasing power increases. Do you think there was an "opportune time" to adopt the internet when it came out? Was there a "best" time to adopt gun powder when it hit the market? Did you have an advantage if you waited a few cycles to take advantage of electricity? No. In every case, the most opportune time to adopt these technologies was "as soon as humanly possible". Bitcoin is no different. The best time to adopt better money is as soon as possible.

Imagine lending the US government money instead of saving your money in bitcoin. Buying bonds is akin to giving the meth head on the corner $100 because he promises he's going to use it to get clean.

“What is going on?!” Many people know that it’s harder for them to make enough money to live. Not enough people know that the money itself is broken.

Okay X is back up. See you guys next month.

NCAA Lacrosse Final Four today. Best tournament in college sports.

The tweet stuck at the top of my feed right now. Hopefully everyone on X is seeing the same thing on repeat.

What if X just never comes back on?

Open. Air. Bitcoin.

Something is structurally broken in the economy. The median age of homebuyers jumped 7 years from 49 to 56 from 2023 to 2024. Hitting a new all-time high. This comes as the number of first-time buyers hit an all-time low. Societies can't grow and prosper like this.

The potential for good things to manifest increase when more individuals decide to hodl bitcoin. This does not mean that people will not spend their bitcoin. It simply means that they have standards for the things that they will spend their bitcoin on.

Hodl Bitcoin For Good

This is a must watch presentation.

The sats haters are going to be sorely disappointed. There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin. There are 100 million sats in one bitcoin. It’s in your best interest to start stacking sats as quickly and aggressively as possible.

While many are focused on the "Riyadh Accords" yields on the 10-year and 30-year US Treasury bonds reached levels not seen since January, 90+ day delinquency rates on credit card and auto loans are screaming and the deficit is blowing out. Got bitcoin? naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzq3e0gs8jnmued6f2rp4c6vs07xqvs4vs8zpwt82smcdch4txjvq7qpvxgmmwya6z6em9wskkg6tnw3exzcm5v4jz6cne946xsefdwf5hjctydqkkzcmrdaexgue6946xsefdwduhxar9d45kxttswfhkymr9d4ej6ctjv5kk7mnv0ykkwet5w35kueedwahhyum9hustgz

All prices on Zillow should be shown in bitcoin so people think twice before aping into real estate. In 10 years would you rather have a 2 bed, 3 bath carriage house in Manhattan or 54.3 bitcoin?

Wild that the 10Y is back to mid-February levels and it is receiving nowhere near the amount of attention it was in mid-April. Everyone distracted by the "Riyadh Accord". Let's see if the basis trade blow up fears begin to take hold again.
