Antwerp: vignettes of stunning beauty, vignettes of active decay. The beauty wins, undoubtedly.

A few impressions of the _epic_ Bitcoin conference in Antwerp.

Fancy bookstore in medium size European city. The “Economics” section is wedged in between “diversity” and “ecology” and consists of 50% hardcore Marxist titles. NOT GOOD. Hopefully young folks are watching BitcoinTok instead.

We also visited historic Canterbury, even got to attend the vespers with an incredible choir in its famous cathedral 🙏🇬🇧⛪️

A few impressions of London.

Arthur Hayes spitting truth: “But at the end of the day, if you're thinking about why now, why did BlackRock get in their ETF approval in six months and the Winkle Clowns couldn't get one in 10 years? Right? Live in New York. They're both billionaires, both very rich. Why weren't they given one and BlackRock was given one in six months? Well, at the end of the day, you want the same financial institutions to control the wealth that can ultimately be appropriated by the government at the flick of a switch. BlackRock is just another arm of the U.S. government, just the same as any other large Chinese asset managers in the arm of the Chinese government.”

It's fall 2024—the time has come to orangepill your heroes. The Zeitgeist has shifted and many are now ready to receive. By sending a kind bitcoin message to someone you admire, you're helping them be more effective in doing good.

I went to see Oliver Anthony here in Round Rock TX with my wife… Wonderful message and a voice like a bell. amazing performance, I’m so glad I went.

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