You feel exhausted only because you didn't hodl enough. #Bitcoin #HODL

I put together a "Spend your sats" follow pack - the Nostr accounts where Bitcoin actually buys something: mobile top-ups, payment cards, gift cards, marketplaces. Includes two bots I run plus Shopstr, Plebeian Market, Mostro and The Bitcoin Company. Follow the whole set in one tap: https://following.space/d/oekh4lt6qu0d #nostr #bitcoin #lightning #plebchain

Spent the past week building something I haven't seen on Nostr yet: a DM bot that lets you top up any phone, in 18 countries, paid with Lightning ⚡ You DM, type /menu, pick a country, /buy, pay the invoice. The recipient's phone is topped up in seconds. End-to-end on Nostr. 🤖 bot@btcrecharge.com View article →

MIRCEA POPESCU - the most wow bitcoinist Romania ever gave 🐉 A kid from Cluj managed to hold, by his own accounts and not only, one million bitcoin. Today that would be tens of billions of dollars. And almost certainly lost forever. This is just the ending. The beginning is even crazier 👇 📝 2008 - opens his Trilema blog, in Romanian. In 2012 he switches to Bitcoin and English. They say only ~10,000 people ever read him - but each of them then opened a Bitcoin Twitter account. He shaped the thinking of an entire world from the shadows. 🏛️ Founder of MPEx, Bitcoin's "stock exchange". Did you want an account? You paid ~30 BTC just to walk through the door. There he listed SatoshiDice, which he sold in 2013 for over 125,000 BTC (~11.5 mil $ back then) - the first major acquisition in Bitcoin history. 🔥 When the SEC comes after him, he laughs in their face. Quoting Roger Ver: "he trolled the SEC harder than anyone in history". 💾 2014 - OpenBSD was about to close due to lack of funds. He funds it. Wired calls him "Bitcoin Baron". 🐲 Maximalist before the word existed: only code mattered. No hard forks, no compromises. But to be honest, he was also a dark figure. Nicknamed "the father of Bitcoin toxicity", he wrote violent things and put a bounty on the head of a Core developer. Genius and toxic in equal measure. 🌊 June 2021: he drowns on a beach in Costa Rica, at 41 years old. Authorities mistakenly list him as "of Polish origin". The keys to the fortune - taken with him into the waves? Who knows? In this case it would be a gift to us all, from beyond the Styx, the river of hatred and invulnerability. An impossible-to-ignore character. "Bitcoin is destiny", he used to say. His was written to the end. #bitcoin #nostr #romania #MirceaPopescu #Trilema

⚡ MIRCEA POPESCU - cel mai wow bitcoinist pe care l-a dat România 🐉 Un puști din Cluj a ajuns să dețină, după propriile spuse, și nu doar, un milion de bitcoin. Azi ar fi zeci de miliarde de dolari. Și aproape sigur sunt pierduți pentru totdeauna. Ăsta e doar finalul. Începutul e și mai nebunesc 👇 📝 2008 - își deschide blogul Trilema, în română. În 2012 trece pe Bitcoin și pe engleză. Se spune că doar ~10.000 de oameni l-au citit vreodată - dar fiecare dintre ei și-a făcut apoi cont de Bitcoin Twitter. A modelat gândirea unei lumi întregi din umbră. 🏛️ Fondator al MPEx, "bursa de valori" a Bitcoinului. Ai vrut cont? Plăteai ~30 BTC doar ca să intri pe ușă. Acolo listează SatoshiDice, pe care îl vinde în 2013 pentru peste 125.000 BTC (~11,5 mil $ atunci) - prima mare achiziție din istoria Bitcoin. 🔥 Când SEC vine după el, le râde în față. Citându-l pe Roger Ver: "a trollat SEC-ul mai tare decât oricine în istorie". 💾 2014 - OpenBSD era pe cale să se închidă din lipsă de bani. El îl finanțează. Wired îl numește "Baronul Bitcoin". 🐲 Maximalist înainte să existe cuvântul: conta doar codul. Fără hard fork-uri, fără compromisuri. Dar onest fiind, a fost și o figură întunecată. Poreclit "părintele toxicității din Bitcoin", a scris lucruri violente și a pus o recompensă pe capul unui dezvoltator Core. Genial și toxic în egală măsură. 🌊 Iunie 2021: se îneacă pe o plajă din Costa Rica, la 41 de ani. Autoritățile îl trec eronat drept "de origine poloneză". Cheile de la avere - duse cu el în valuri? Cine știe? În acest caz ar fi un cadou către noi toți, de dincolo de Styx, râul urii și al invulnerabilității. Un personaj imposibil de ignorat. "Bitcoin e destin", spunea. Al lui s-a scris până la capăt. #bitcoin #nostr #romania #MirceaPopescu #Trilema

Common sense is now labeled hard-right. #Europe

In the screenshot, you have Vitalik Buterin's position regarding the EU🇪🇺 critics. I wonder how Satoshi Nakamoto's stance would have looked regarding the disastrous way Brussels acts toward the citizens of the EU. I'm sure it would be completely opposite to the position of this pathetic shitcoiner.

X terminates the Europeans Commission's ad account. The Commission is slapping X with a fine for 'deception,' all while they try to resurrect a zombie ad account to game the system and boost their propaganda with a sneaky trick.

On December 1, 2025, Poland's President Karol Nawrocki made a significant decision by vetoing a 300-page crypto bill. This legislation aimed to implement EU MiCA regulations along with additional measures, such as a 0.4% tax on transactions and powers to block websites. President Nawrocki expressed concerns that these provisions could pose risks to innovation, hinder startups, and infringe on personal freedoms. #Bitcoin #MiCA #FinancialFreedom #Poland
