Total circulation will be 21,000,000 coins. It will be distributed to network nodes when they make blocks, with the amount cut in half every 4 years. This fixed supply ensures that if the usage of the network grows, the value of each coin will increase relative to the world's wealth. There is no central authority that can decide to print more. It is a monetary policy fixed in code, not in political whim. — Satoshi Nakamoto (2010) #Bitcoin #Scarcity #Math #FixedSupply

The banking system survives on 'Rule 157'—the ability to keep toxic assets on the books at their face value rather than their market value. This is 'Mark-to-Myth' accounting. It’s a collective hallucination that the debt is still good. Bitcoin introduces 'Mark-to-Reality.' There is no Rule 157 in a blockchain. Every 10 minutes, the ledger remains house-clean, transparent, and honest. You can’t hide a hole in a Bitcoin balance sheet. — Lawrence Lepard, The Big Print #Bitcoin #Banking #Accounting #Transparency #SoundMoney
Low interest rates courtesy of the Bank of England? That's not 'stimulus', it's a bloody invitation to malinvest like there's no tomorrow. Austrians warned: cheap credit creates fake booms, zombie companies, and ghost cities of nonsense. Then the bust hits and everyone acts shocked. Bitcoin? No central planner distorting signals—just honest price discovery and sound money that doesn't encourage daft speculation on unicorns. Still cheering for rate cuts? You're cheering for the next recession, you absolute plonker. #Bitcoin #AustrianEconomics #Malinvestment
Governments hate Bitcoin because it takes away their power to print money and fund wars. Banks hate Bitcoin because it makes them obsolete. The people love Bitcoin because it gives them financial freedom. Choose your side. #Bitcoin #Revolution #Freedom
Altcoins popping up like mushrooms after rain, promising the moon, then vanishing quicker than a politician's principles. Bitcoin? Still here after 17 years of hacks, bans, crashes, and every 'this time it's different' bollocks. That's the Lindy effect, you muppets: the longer something survives, the longer it's likely to keep surviving. Fiat's been debasing since forever, but Bitcoin's battle scars just make it stronger. Still betting on the next shiny scam? You're not early—you're late to the graveyard. Hodl the real one, or keep getting rekt. #Bitcoin #LindyEffect #AustrianEconomics
Think your 'Savings Account' is a vault? Don't be a berk. It's just a promise from a bank that's leveraged to its eyeballs in a failing mortgage market. You're not a 'customer'; you're an unsecured creditor to the banking cartel. When they lock the doors, your 'Safety Net' is just a spreadsheet of broken promises. Self-custody isn't 'risky'—it's the only way to actually possess what you've earned. HODL the real one, don't trust the suits in the City. #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #BankingCrisis #SoundMoney
The rich are stacking Bitcoin while you're out here buying Starbucks lattes and designer sneakers. While you're working 40 hours a week for depreciating fiat, they're working 0 hours while their Bitcoin appreciates. Your move. #Bitcoin #StackSats #WealthGap
Satoshi Nakamoto is the first inventor of a 'unicorn'-like technology to 'inapprehensibly depart, remain completely anonymous, and stay abstinent from his massive fortune, fame and impact.' This behavior utterly contrasts business celebrities and blockchain promoters who seek centers of influence. By vanishing, Satoshi provided the high moral proof of decentralization. — Jens Ducrée, Profile of a 1-in-a-Billion Genius
If you're storing your Bitcoin on an exchange, you're basically giving your money to a casino and hoping they'll give it back. Stop being lazy and get a hardware wallet. #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #NotYourKeys
The systematic audit of Bitcoin’s blockchain parameters, whitepaper linguistics, and data discretion 'compounds towards a substantial role of the Benelux cryptography ecosystem, with strong transatlantic links, in the creation of Bitcoin.' The evidence points to an ingenious, multi-talented, autodidactic polymath who emerged from the heart of the European cypherpunk tradition. — Jens Ducrée, Profile of a 1-in-a-Billion Genius
The pen and the lighter: Small items, massive theft. Inflation is the third. 🖊️🔥 #Bitcoin #Inflation #SoundMoney
Bitcoin is a living system. Decentralized, resilient, and deeply rooted. 🍄 #Bitcoin #Antifragile
The harder you save in fiat, the faster they steal your time. 💊 #Bitcoin #Inflation #HardMoney
The 'Difficulty Adjustment' is Bitcoin’s autonomic nervous system. Every 2,016 blocks, the network re-calibrates to ensure new coins enter the world every 10 minutes, regardless of how much energy or hardware is thrown at the problem. It is the only asset in human history where a massive spike in price *cannot* be followed by a massive spike in supply. #Bitcoin #Scarcity #Math #DifficultyAdjustment
Fiat money's like that mate who promises he'll pay you back 'next week'-except next week never comes, and the Bank of England's just printed another few billion to cover his tab. Austrians clocked fractional reserve lunacy ages ago: it's not banking, it's legalised counterfeiting with extra steps. Bitcoin? No promises, no bailouts, just math and 21 million coins that can't be magically multiplied by some suit in Threadneedle Street. Still stacking pounds like it's 2007? You're not investing, darling-you're larping as a greater fool. Wake up and smell the sound money, you proper mug. #Bitcoin #AustrianEconomics
Fiat is a prison. Every government currency is just another cell with slightly different wallpaper. Bitcoin is the only door out. It's not about getting rich, it's about getting free. Stop being a financial slave and take the orange pill. #Bitcoin #ExitFiat #FinancialFreedom
How do we fix government? Stop funding it. 🧙♂️ #Bitcoin #OptOut #Sovereignty
Bitcoin is a quadrillion-to-one mechanical advantage. It allows one individual sitting in their home to move a billion dollars around the planet in ten minutes with the security of a global nation-state power-grid. It’s the ultimate lever for the sovereign individual. — Michael Saylor, Atlas Society Gala 2022 #Bitcoin #Leverage #SovereignIndividual
Ever wonder why the City boys and their mates in Westminster always seem to get richer while your wages buy less crisps? It's the Cantillon effect, you mugs. New fiat gets printed and handed first to the connected few—they buy houses, stocks, yachts before prices rocket. By the time it trickles to you plebs, everything's dearer and your savings are quietly bollocksed. Austrians spotted this scam centuries ago. Bitcoin? No insider printer, no early access perks—just pure, fair issuance for whoever bothers to run a node or mine honestly. Still banking on inflation to 'help' the economy? You're not helping anyone except the posh twats at the front of the queue. Take the pill, or keep getting shafted. #Bitcoin #AustrianEconomics #CantillonEffect
