Other than Saylor who are the big public whales? Tim Draper? Who else?

This is the head of the UK's 'nudge unit' which uses psychologically manipulative tactics to 'nudge' the public into doing what they want. Crazy times image

Threads is a personal project for Zuck. He wants to be the centre of attention among political and cultural discourse like Musk is. Facebook and instagram are popular for consumers not decision makers.

Is anyone following the Prigozhin's mansion heist? With all the cash and gold they found I doubt he's a bitcoiner.

The current financial issues in the UK are waking people up to the question 'What is money?' Once you learn how the current banking system works and then you learn about Bitcoin there's no going back.

Imagine if Larry Fink ends up having the Bitcoin epiphany we all eventually have and joins Twitter to spend all day posting AI-generated Bitcoin images

Larry's not a bitcoiner until he joins Nostr and drops some dank memes in a #zapathon

Larry Fink clearly knows little to nothing about bitcoin apart from it's digital gold (it's actually bigger than that), it's global and can't be tampered with by a nation-state. I bet the MFer can't even set up a wallet

Larry Fink endorsing bitcoin on TV. He must have loaded up his bags.

Decided to leave London. What's happened in France will happen in the big cities of the UK soon. The writing is on the wall. It's overpriced now and not the city it used to be. Too woke.

I’ve got access to a Financial Times subscription so occasionally I go in the comments section and drop orange pills. I assumed I’d get fiat bros commenting to tell me I’m wrong but all my comments so far have received positive responses. Never thought that would happen this early.

I never believe any bitcoin price predictions whether super bullish or super bearish. I just keep it in cold storage, ignore the noise and HODL. Keep it simple.

This is true. Brits only buy property (“an Englishman’s home is his castle”) but now the property market is tanking that money has to go somewhere image

These wannabe decentralized platforms are like shitcoins. It’s going to take a full cycle for users to end up at Nostr as they do with Bitcoin.

I’d like to take six months off work to train and read, preferably by a beach. Low time preference

Stolen from Twitter but it’s too good not to share. —- “Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’” Michael W Smith
