#Bitcoin is not defined by the code. It is defined by the rules the code enforces.

I bought a coffee at a wagon today and asked “Can I pay with my Bitcoin?”. She explained it would be too complicated for her - then proceeded to enter the items into an iPad, added up the prices, enter the amount into a card machine and negotiate the card transaction. Bitcoin is not hard. Educating people is.

#Bitcoin doesn’t have inflation. - or - The halvening cuts #Bitcoin inflation in half.

I'm not a great fan of technical analysis, particularly for #Bitcoin, but this 3 month price chart (in GBP) showing a Bullish Pennant was just screaming to have some lines drawn on it! image

I hear that $1 billion worth of #Bitcoin  shorts will be liquidated at $72K. Onwards and upwards.🤞

Would it be fair to say that the #Bitcoin halving / halenving is when #BTC inflation gets cut in half yet again?

I’ve been chatting to a local cafe about accepting #Bitcoin using Lightning. They asked me a question I couldn’t immediately answer… How many Lightning users [who want to buy a coffee] are there in the UK?

Death In Paradise (BBC comedy-drama crime series) had crypto mining at the heart of last evening’s episode. They had to invent Tallium as the sh*t coin but Bitcoin was the initial presumption by street-savvy officer Marlon Pryce.

Here’s a thought. Craig Wright really *is* Satoshi (or one of the Satoshi team) and wants to distance himself from the crazy distribution of the contents of the genesis wallet that will come once he’s legally shown he’s is *not* Satoshi. Why on earth would such a supposedly smart person put up such a poor case in court?
