The F in ETF stands for fool Don’t be that guy.

If you want to dunk on Roger Ver, don’t get lazy by posting BCH/BTC price charts Convince Expedia, Steam & Microsoft to accept BTC payments once again Maybe get Tesla back on board too Restore the bitcoin adoption momentum from 2014-2015 Then you can finally say that Roger was impatient & wrong

Jeremy Rubin’s redemption arc is pretty cool, good to see it happening. He was right 3 years ago, but it took the haters a long time to realize.

Average Bitcoin podcast: tries to tell you what Bitcoin is, mostly via metaphors Bitcoin Takeover podcast: tells you what Bitcoin is not, but can become with some improvements

When I was younger, I used to think religious holidays are stupid. But tonight I went to the Easter sermon all alone, met half a dozen friends from school (some of whom I haven’t seen in 15+ years) and had a lot of fun talking outside the church like it’s still 2004. Church is awesome, at least during the major holidays when everyone visits their family. I should go to church more.

Studying Bitcoin history is a lot of fun.

In about 5 hours I will interview J-Dog, the guy who maintained Bitcoin’s Counterparty layer for about 8 years and also builds FreeWallet. If you have any questions for him, join the livestream chat on YouTube or on Twitter!

James A. Donald told Satoshi that Bitcoin doesn’t scale. Ray Dillinger told Satoshi that BTC has no network effect and it may never catch up with the US dollar. Satoshi launched Bitcoin anyway and built a little community around the project too. We need more of this spirit. There’s too much negativity towards builders and it’s usually the older and more experienced who become cynical to the point that nothing is ever good enough for them. Thankfully, we have a new generation of Bitcoin developers that will build sovereign tools without anyone’s permission.

The delivery man just dropped this at my door It’s the new Bitcoin Mini Miner by Braiins Mining! Which I will now set up to run in the background of my podcasts. It’s that quiet 🤫 Will I earn 3.125 BTC while podcasting? I hope so, but it’s very much a lottery ticket 🫡

It’s really nice to see @laanwj listed as one of the contributors to the Bitcoin Core 29.0 release. Happy to see his name on the list!

BSV guys claim this is bullish and convincing

My girlfriend is currently painting some Pepe artwork for my podcast background 🐸 If you want a Pepe avatar or some kind of physical painting, she’s available for commissions 👸🏻

In a couple of hours I will interview Daniel Krawisz He is 2014’s most prolific writer, the man who came up with “hyperbitcoinization” but never gets credit for it, and a co-founder of the @Satoshi Nakamoto Institute In 2019, he decided to support the BSV fork. Will ask him why

Looking for cool conferences where me + my girlfriend can launch our comic book. It’s called “Bitcoin: Year One” & aims to teach people about the first year of Bitcoin in a funny & easily digestible way. Because history is boring and not too many people care about it.

Happy Easter to all my Catholic and Protestant friends! He is not here! He has risen, just like He said! Can’t wait to celebrate Easter next week with my Orthodox family!

There are two elements that make Bitcoin not a Ponzi scheme: 1. The fair issuance via Proof of Work mining 2. The freedom money use case, which empowers individuals who can’t use banks If the governments regulate + monopolize no. 1, then hinder any chance at achieving no. 2, the only use case remaining is the “store of value” aka making more US dollars via speculation. And this is what turns Bitcoin into a Ponzi: mining is only done by big players that governments certify & enable (they’ll say it saves the environment), nobody uses BTC as money anymore because it’s a nightmare from a regulatory point of view and it’s too traceable for freedom activists or “criminals” from authoritarian regimes.

“See, the mempool is empty now. We didn’t need to scale Bitcoin in 2015-2017, it was all a lie that Roger Ver and Jihan Wu made up to attack the project” Meanwhile, USDT on Tron:

The reason many bitcoin podcasters suck is that they stopped learning new stuff sometime during the 2018-2019 bear market and they’ve been recycling the same talking points ever since never spent much time looking at new stuff getting built because it’s “scammy & shitcoiny”
