It’s possible to store value for the future and still withhold it from the present. Bitcoin lowers time preference. But it doesn’t automatically produce generosity. That part is still on us.

Most people understand Bitcoin. Very few reorganize around it. What happens when a company does? I tried to map what’s emerging: A Bitcoin-native capital stack. Bitcoin is the base asset. On top of it, new financial instruments are forming—each designed for a different type of investor. Wrote more here:

What MicroStrategy reveals about the future of money—and corporate strategy.

Mimetic desire → rivalry → scapegoat → temporary peace This pattern didn’t disappear. It sped up. AI and online systems didn’t create it— they compress it. And yes… the endless “Bitcoin is dead” declarations are part of it. Wrote about it here:

Mimetic Desire: Why Every System Eventually Finds a Scapegoat

From Bitcoin to AI to online discourse, our systems reflect something deeper—and more dangerous—about human desire.

After the Turkey earthquake, we had funds ready to help people still living in containers. The need was real. The church was ready. The money got stuck in a frozen bank account for 18 months. That experience made Bitcoin real to me — not as an investment, but as infrastructure. I wrote more here:

Prediction markets assume participants are neutral. But what if they’re not? What if they can influence the outcome? That’s where the model breaks. Wrote about this here:

The Moral Limits of Prediction Markets

A framework for the moral limits of prediction markets in a Bitcoin-native world

Not everything should be priced. I wrote about the moral limits of prediction markets after a Bitcoin meetup last night. What started as an impressive demo turned into a deeper question: What happens when people can profit from events they can influence? A real case (Kalshi) is now facing a ~$54M dispute over exactly this problem. I think we need a new category: “Non-Financialized Forecasting Systems” → systems that preserve signal → without incentivizing harm Full piece here:

Aqua wallet - BTC as savings and btc layer 2 and USDT as spending - also interesting that the USDT is btc2 based. Very cool. That said, the app won’t accept USDT from other wallets that have USDT based on tron or ETH. Rather limits the utility, I think. Maybe not so cool. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Happy ♾️ /21M day. My iPhone wallpaper from @btcwallpaper (via x). Loved the color way and subtle reminder. Been a fun conversation starter with normies several times 🥳

I have really enjoyed this gamified intro to money & bitcoin. Kinda like @Lyn Alden's Broken Money book but as an educational app. Thanks @simpleBTCapp https://t.co/94yEGHa8ZT

This is a remarkable contrarian discussion. WiM565 - coming global monetary reset via back doors & dubious executive branch moves. Thank you @Breedlove22

We managed to set up a futurebit Apollo BTC today. Took over a year to get this over here to set up. Connected it to ocean.xyz ! One node. One miner. One person. All it takes to help change the world!

Listening to WIM on web5 (https://developer.tbd.website) and decentralized identity. Running on nostr maybe making my profile picture marginally less obvious it is me via Prism-ai is a step deeper in the rabbit hole

First time posting on primal. Nostr has come a long way in the past year or so. Thanks to @Simply Bitcoin & @bitcarrot for the encouragement
