Who would have guessed that PewDiePie will be introducing millions of people to DuckDuckGo and GrapheneOS. Yet here were go. Privacy is going mainstream!

Sats are just fine.

Bitcoin would need to trade above $126,000 to clear its highest exchange-rate-adjusted record (set in Swedish krona) or $122,000 to beat the Czech koruna benchmark. At roughly $96k today, BTC is still about 24% below that peak.
