It’s still hard to believe sometimes that bitcoin is casually trading at these prices.

Bitcoin’s “Quantitative Hardening” in the Belgian Financial Times 💪

I’ve learned a lot from Peter Todd over the years. Here’s a discussion of his NOSTR critique: View quoted note →

(US politics) Does anyone else also feel that the Drudge Report has taken a turn to the left? I’ve been reading it for 15 years or so and used to feel that it was sensational but quite neutral in the left-right spectrum. The last 2 years I notice a change, with a lot more negative news focused on Trump vs Biden for example. What do you guys think? New owners perhaps?

Fiat is an acid; a poison that weakens living creatures, that dissolves age old healthy membranes, and that slowly burns away all that is good in the world. Bitcoin is a base; a benign soap that cleanses our wounds; a purifying water that restores life in society’s rivers; a miracle potion that helps us remember songs of truth and virtue.

A Real Rap on Real Estate In the dance of wealth, where truth and lies entwine, Houses once stood, symbols of our design. But beneath the surface, a truth concealed, Fiat’s erosion, their fate was sealed. Deluded buyers, blinded by the lie, Houses crumble as the years fly by. In this tale of shifting wealth and gain, We find reflections of our human bane. So let us heed this cautionary verse, As Bitcoin’s rise calls for a reverse. For in its wake, a shift is seen, To sound construction, long unseen. Classical architecture, born anew, Guiding hands, patient, steady, true. No longer hasty, this time with care, Building legacies beyond compare. For in the ever-changing dance of fate, Bitcoin restores, it does not abate. It’s not just wealth, but values that await, In stone we build, our legacy, innate.

Bitcoin is demonetizing real estate. A lot of “invoosters” chomping at the bit to “buy the dip” in real estate are going to get burnt badly. It’s for the most part essentially a shitcoin, just one that’s slightly less shitty than the dollar.

Stations of the cross , ATX style

Symmetry in nature, spotted in Austin today. (The pigeon on the right is about to disturb the pattern.)

We forgot to buy vinegar while traveling, and my wife remembered that meat can also be marinated with coffee grounds. We tried, and the skirt steak came out great!

The industry with most desirable goods of its era gets to deliver the power brokers of the world. That’s why we had oil barons, Wall Street titans, and now tech moguls. Most likely, the next generation of global power brokers will emerge from the #bitcoin ecosystem.

To claim you feel hesitant about #bitcoin because its price is volatile, is tantamount to saying that you are a conformist on the topic: "I have mixed feelings about bitcoin because others have mixed feelings about it". And that's okay of course.

Bitcoin Beggars have the biggest…

Be like Bono 💪 (Me too I started as an activist, even pursued a bachelor in African Studies at University)

The SEC 2FA blunder is an early example of how old world institutions who do not respect the cypherpunk toolbox will lose reputation, money, and eventually sociopolitical relevance, one loss event at a time. No more double standards. In a bitcoin world, it's adapt or die.

Just another day at the SEC

Happy New Year everyone! I’m incredibly grateful for the thrilling progress we’re making in advancing Truth in this World. The Bitcoin Moon waxes and the Lighthouse of Liberty casts its rays in the dark night, farther than ever before. I couldn’t be more excited for 2024. 🙏😊✌️
