I have had 5 journalists/networks reach out to me over the past few days all wanting to discuss $TRUMP coin. Some explicitly said they were looking for a positive take on it, hoping to better understand the trend and culture surrounding meme coins. When I explained to them that I’d instead like to discuss how Bitcoin is different and how I’m concerned about the investors who buy into the meme coin hype, they all said they will pass on having me for the show/piece they’re working on. We have a long way to go….

This is my best friend, bridesmaid, and a gentle-hearted Bitcoiner, Saphia. She recently lost her home and all her belongings in the Palisades Fire. Adding to her struggles, she was unable to secure an insurance policy when she moved in, and the last year has been particularly hard for her due to multiple failed IVF attempts.
Saphia has always been a source of kindness and strength for others, and now she needs our love and support more than ever. Please keep her in your prayers, and if you’re able, consider contributing to help her rebuild. Every satoshi counts.
