Received a very credible looking phishing email from #swan #swanbitcoin re the launch of a Swan token. With news of their foray into Bitcoin mining, this would only be a few steps further and it’s better than most of these types of emails - some will fall for this I imagine. I’m not a Swan customer but more fool me I guess for at some point giving up my email alone - here in lies the general KYC honeypot problem. Anyone else had this email? #asknostr

@Anil great article. The world of Bitcoin is a soap opera in itself. If that’s fun and entertaining, fine, but if not, tune out for a bit. https://www.teachingbtc.com/depression

“Yeah, well Bitcoin is still miles off its all time high” Which is more remarkable then - $65k zero yielding Bitcoin when you can return 1.9% per year on the 30 year treasury (75% return compounded), or $35k zero yielding Bitcoin when you can return 4.75% risk free per year over 30 years (300% return when compounded). The bond market has already spoken. #plebchain

The Guardian in the UK or the WSJ - who has the worse Bitcoin coverage? 🤢 Being British I'm going to place a vote for the Guardian - on the basis of no comments ever allowed on any of these articles (unusually) and the following snapshot of two years of Bitcoin linked material... #plebchain

From the Bank of England museum's own leaflet.. I'm picking up on a theme here! Of course I wouldn't have noticed this prior to being into Bitcoin, but it's all there in plain sight. #plebchain

The world is ignoring Bitcoin right now. Price is within about 1% of what it was 6 months ago. In the same time the US 10 year has increased 150 basis points. 🤯 Like one of those episodes of Mad Men where you think to yourself - nothing really happened. And yet plenty happened.

Just followed up on something which has been in the back of my mind for a while now. I’ve been off twitter for over 6 months now. #bitcoinactuary I had around 2,100 followers - not bad, I told myself, though I didn’t ever have huge engagement on most tweets. Around 1,500 of those follows came from one Saylor retweet alone. Now that the option to verify is there, I’ve been wondering - how many of those are now paying users? Here’s the brutal truth from my followers - 62. The rest are either refusing to pay, or not real people. I suspect a chunk of both - but neither suggests I left too much behind.
