AI just gave me the following definition of bitcoin and it might be the most concise one I’ve ever heard: Bitcoin is a decentralized monetary network whose identity emerges from the voluntary convergence of users around a specific set of consensus rules, history, and social expectations.

Bitcoin stays confusing the hell out of me. On one hand it is a group of deeply unhealthy and toxic people who behave like adult children. Simultaneously, it is a collective of the most intelligent, grounded, and principled people I have ever met. Truth is simply a mirror.

Simon Dixon is a level of autism I aspire to reach one day

TIL lil John’s (yes the rapper lil John) dad worked for Lockheed Martin. Fascinating

Bring Me The Horizon re-recorded their 2006 album Pray for Plauges and idgaf what you say this album still goes hard to this day. 2000s deathcore/MySpace era was definitely a time to be alive lol

@jimmysong really just made a couple valid points and gets completely shut down because his perspective doesn’t align with the narrative. This was hard to watch.

TIL that Palantir sells merch. Might have to cop some heat lmao

Imaging putting your money in a stock that is marketed as a high yield savings account and losing 25% of your principal in a month lmao. I wonder if we’re going to see lawsuits at some point. Saylor has really screwed a lot of people over with this whole digital credit bullshit. Hopefully those people get a dividend from the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve they helped build…

Just finished The Stolguard Incident by @Lyn Alden Highly recommend. It’s a really fun read and paints a pretty accurate picture of a not so distant future. Find me in the edge realms 🫡

This is one of the hardest lessons I’ve learned on my journey and something I have mid curved TF out of. Seems like most bitcoiners (myself included) are generally pretty bad at calibrating this. We exist in a state of constantly thinking the whole world is going to collapse tomorrow. That is a rational perspective. We can see how fragile the system is. We know it just takes the wind to blow the wrong way for it all to crumble. But we underestimate how irrational human beings are and how much energy and resources will be put into propping this system up. Applying logical thinking to an irrational system and then getting frustrated when you don’t get the results you thought is a pretty brutal process. Or maybe I’m just an idiot 🤷🏻‍♀️ View quoted note →

The market is definitely staying irrational longer than you are staying liquid

Bitcoin community in shambles rn. Saylor selling bitcoin after preaching never sell your bitcoin. Odell going back to twitter after preaching nostr only for 2 years The grift will continue until morale improves.

Somewhere in the midwest Luke Gromen is sitting on a lake completely unbothered. Good for him. Dude really sold the top and people thought he was crazy.
