Never gonna read a book
Can you send me the Tik Tok version that trivializes the plot and removes the part that makes you think about the information and events described in the book?
War and Peace: it’s about Russian noble families and their stupid struggles. Too many descriptions about the characters, not too much focus on a single topic or event.
Harry Potter series: Wizard kid saves the world by defeating the lord of darkness twice in his lifetime. He also goes to school, makes friends who marry each other and is supposed to be stupidly rich without having worked a single day of his life.
Lord of the Rings: Young hobbit named Frodo destroys powerful ring after some struggles, while some guy named Aragorn becomes king. View quoted note →
I'M NOT SAYING THAT BITCOIN TAKEOVER PODCAST
IS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL SHOW IN THE SPACE
BUT A MONTH AFTER I INTERVIEWED CHARLIE SHREM ABOUT HIS NEW "DIGITAL GOLD" PROJECT
HE REMOVED EVERY MENTION OF IT FROM HIS PROFILE AND THE DIGITALGOLD DOT COM DOMAIN IS FOR SALE
3 days after this interview, Michael Saylor has unfollowed John Carvalho
What is it that he didn’t like? It’s all at the 03:26:00 mark.
It would be a shame if more people listened 🙃

The Jesus age is upon me

A real adult
It feels bittersweet and this song describes it best

Introducing 21 Questions:
A new spinoff show which aims to collect parallel data from multiple bitcoiners and find out where they agree and where they disagree
In this first trailer, you can hear @Max
@niftynei() 🇺🇸💸🧡 @fiatjaf @Super Testnet @John Carvalho & more answer the question:
“Can a majority of miners activate soft forks?”
The result might surprise you!
drivechains are the only bitcoin “banks” i can accept
fuck federations that cosplay as sidechains, fuck custodians, fuck layer 2 solutions with no unilateral exit
the miners have most skin in the game, they invest most money in this network
i’d rather trust them than coinbase
did an interview with a romanian documentary maker and in it i was super bullish about bitcoin
i even bought $20 worth from an atm (on camera) and encouraged everyone to do the same and wait for a few years to see what happens
in my mother tongue, i’m almost always optimistic – 2013 roger ver levels of shilling, alex gladstein levels of virtue signaling
it’s only when i interact with you guys on the purple ostrich app that i get depressed
such stupid takes, so much hopium, so little consideration for onboarding the next hundred million people in a non-custodial way and giving them the privacy to escape authoritarianism
but i might have different personalities in different languages too, i’m far more polite in romanian
today is a good day to read the bitcoin whitepaper and reflect
