"If Bitcoin becomes successful, it'll be shut down by the US government. That's why I like gold." ... is just like... "I'm going to stay with the one that isn't likely to win, just so it isn't shut down"

The US dollar has lost ~96% of its purchasing power since the 1940's. Most other fiat currencies lost even more in purchasing power. In 1960, 1 USD = ~2 PHP Today, 1 USD = ~57 PHP Just in my lifetime, I've seen the Philippine Peso go from ~10 PHP to 1 USD to what it is today.

An attendee of the Makati Bitcoin meetups is opening a barbershop in Taguig. It's an ode to Bitcoin's creator. #Bitcoin accepted here. He's on Twitter at @RogerSanidad. Cool to see!

Let's talk about Lightning Wallets at the next Bitcoin meetup at Public House in Makati on August 9. Thanks to Lyman @npub1mzhuvwffv68sf4hza0nemv70zmu2aju7gtskdfrnz5mctrlhx8kq78c7fp for suggesting this topic! Lightning Torch 👇 is a fantastic group activity for the attendees to test their (possibly) newfound knowledge.

Been really busy for me lately, but I've finally finished @Florin Hilbay's talk about #bitcoin at UP Diliman. I must say, it's good. The talk has the intellectual backing that I'm sure the students and faculty of UP would appreciate. It is difficult for many to even get to this position to understand many the nuances of bitcoin. It is even less likely one gets to the point of explaining it in a palatable way. Thanks for this talk! https://www.youtube.com/live/2efcqScLaNM?feature=share

The first chapter of The Three Body Problem looks eerily similar to some universities in the US where teachers were being shouted down.

@Florin Hilbay -- "Spoke before the assoc of chiefs of staff of Congress about Bitcoin as 21st century value transmission network; how pub/pvt institutions can be affected; monetary sovereignty & colonialism. I asked: how should Philippine govt respond to a superior monetary system nobody can stop?"

When submitting pull requests, imagine you're telling a story. Let it unfold, a chapter (commit) at a time. You want a chapter to be about a focused subject and can stand on its own. It makes it easier for the readers to understand what's happening.

A 77 year old investor I know is tuned in enough to plan for a future where there's even more financial censorship. It's his tipping point to buy and store bitcoin himself. 💛 Talking to him this week about custody solutions.

It'd be awesome if Starlink showed you how to build your own hardware, then you just pay them sats to use the service.
