Flashback to 2010 when you could buy 10 #bitcoin for $3.48. It's crazy to think how far not only bitcoin, but the Internet has come in 15 years. This web interface looks ancient. The pace of innovation from today to 2040 is going to be even more accelerated and bitcoin will be a multi-hundred trillion dollar market.

You can tell Coinbase has been listening to how people position Nostr and slapping the marketing on Base, which is a DINO version of Nostr. Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither will truly robust freedom tech. Keep building.

Prediction: The GENIUS Act does way more harm than good for stablecoin markets and turns into a classic case of “be careful what you wish for”.

The noise of this cycle is going to be stablecoin fervor, real world asset tokenization and a resurgence of "blockchaining all of the things" (especially AI). The signal will be bitcoin maturing as a preferred collateral asset in private credit markets, the continued maturation of the lightning network and other second layers that facilitate payments, bitcoin mining becoming even more integrated with our energy systems and passive DCAs from companies both private and public that convert a portion of their cash flows to bitcoin. There will be a ton of pundits and TradFi suits speaking with the utmost confidence about things they really don't understand from first principles and they will bamboozle many. Keep it simple, stupid. Fiat money is broken. Bitcoin fixes it. Stablecoins are tied to fiat currencies that are being continuously debased. Blockchains only make sense for distributed peer-to-peer cash.

In a world where the political tactics become increasingly discombobulating: - Epstein list is real and then it's not - Whipsawing tarrifs - Accelerating debt expansion - Exponential AI advancements - Cultural degeneracy celebrated Bitcoin is the only reliable anchor to truth.

Days like today are always fun because number go up is exciting and it's extremely gratifying to be validated after many years of being told "you're crazy". What makes these days especially rewarding though is that bitcoin's price going up is a signal that we're making progress on our journey to fix the money. The world is increasingly manic due to the ills wrought by the fiat monetary system. Money printing debases everything, not just purchasing power. By fixing the money with bitcoin, we can begin to anchor our world back to reality. This gives me an incredible amount of hope for the future and my children. Enjoy the validation, but don't lose sight of the end goal.

The youth are completely dejected, nihilistic and engaging in generational self-harm that will result in serious negative consequences if the trend doesn't reverse within another generation or two. They need hope.

Don't sleep on the social dynamics that will come into play when it becomes table stakes for Silicon Valley VC funded companies to have bitcoin on their balance sheets.

The longer the coil the bigger the pump. Bitcoin's price action over the last month is boring for most but an incredible signal for those who have been around for a few cycles. Prepare accordingly.
