As someone who learns English as my third language, I looked this up. Someone says: The values people live by show in their character. I'd say: I concur.

This doesn't mean "only 3.7% support BIP-110." It means non-compliant miners face a 3.7% chance of losing 3.125 BTC per block. As that number climbs, compliance becomes the only rational choice. Rug the spammers.

On Luke Dashjr and the other devs saving Bitcoin in 2013: "We should accept and embrace the need for a strong leadership and governance structure instead of treating decentralization as a magic bullet." - Arvind Nayaranan https://blog.citp.princeton.edu/2015/07/28/analyzing-the-2013-bitcoin-fork-centralized-decision-making-saved-the-day/

A pre-coiner interested in learning will look at two people, one who approaches education with patience and kindness, the other saying "you retarded potato-fuck put your shitcoins up your ass" and think... I'll go with the first. There's a lesson in there.

X is down again. Hello.

X is down. Hey, Nostr.

Many people think bitcoin is useless. A solution looking for a problem. “Expensive air”. When something is abstract and intangible, newly invented and endlessly scrutinized by highly notable people, that assumption is fair. Ray Dalio, Warren Buffet, and Michael Burry all agree. “Bitcoin isn’t valuable nor important”. If that’s true, why are these other guys betting millions on the opposite? Grant Cardone, Tim Draper, and Paul Tudor Jones. They all agree: Bitcoin is revolutionary money technology. So who’s right? Is Bitcoin pointless? Or does it truly solve the inflation problem? Buffet and Burry think centralized control of money is a non-issue, and that inflation is a necessary feature of a healthy economy. Cardone and Draper think that’s the elephant in the room. Both can’t be right. The creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto, clearly stated the motivation behind his invention: “The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but history is full of breaches of that trust. With a peer-to-peer currency based on cryptographic proof, money can be secure and transactions effortless, without needing middle-men.” If Bitcoin is working as intended, instead of a few entities monitoring accounts and transactions, anyone with a computer can verify them. If Satoshi’s intentions are fully realized, Bitcoin prevents any single entity from increasing the supply, censoring users, or deciding who gets to have an account. To some, that might be utterly pointless. For others, it changes the meaning of their existence. So maybe the real question isn’t “does bitcoin have intrinsic value?” Maybe it’s “how can it be useful to me?” With a market cap close to $2 trillion, I think that's worth pondering.

You don't need to understand every line of code. You just need to understand what sound money does: If money can be made without effort, it's bad money. That's every government currency, ever! Bitcoin on the other hand, is extremely hard to create. It's also divisible into tiny fractions to allow secure cross-border micro payments. It's scarce. Storing time and energy far into the future is now possible. It's censorship resistant; no central authority can stop you from using it. It's permissionless; anyone on Earth with a phone and internet can get access to Bitcoin in minutes. It's secured by math, the power of network effects and an unbreakable incentives structure. That's what sound money does. It has rules, not rulers. It allows for secure peer-to-peer transactions without intermediaries. It empowers the individual, regardless of location, ethnicity or class No other crypto or government currency offers that.

My conversation with Adam Simecka is out on YouTube:

Who is Man made by? By God. The elements. The existence of energy. The human. All made by God. He created artists who captivate hearts with music. He created painters who wow entire generations. He created engineers who build to improve humanity. It's clear: God created bitcoin through the genius of Satoshi. If you've yet to grasp the absolute beauty of what a creation bitcoin is, you've read too much incorrect information. Those who study bitcoin are often in awe. It's as incredible as the invention of the light bulb, the airplane, and penicillin. It's verifiably incorruptible money. Guarded by math, the power of network effects, and fair incentives. It's the literal creation suggested by Friedrich Hayek in 1984, when he said: "I don't believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can't take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly roundabout way introduce something that they can't stop." We've seen what happens when Man controls the money supply. We're yet to see what happens when Man is guided by fair incentives, and the ability to store time and energy into eternity. In a world where Man has been aware of gold for 5000 years, Man still created war and destruction. War and destruction isn't favorable when money is verifiably scarce. With verifiably scarce money, true diplomacy becomes obvious because attacking and defending means spending something extremely scarce. For what? More attacking and defending? When kinetic force is unfavorable, power will come from mutually beneficial relationships and exchanged resources. You would spend to thrive, not to steal, kill or destroy. Bitcoin forces cooperation. It forces you to create something valuable for others. It forces you to be the best version of 'You'. God wants humans to flourish, and ideal money is the best tool humanity has to create Heaven on Earth. That's how simple it can get.

Dear Nostr, In 2026, I wanna meet people who: •Are community driven. •Are building something meaningful. •Are family oriented. •Operate with love and kindness. •Read the Bible. Show yourselves.

To all men in their 20s: It doesn't matter where you are, who you're with, or what you do. Your mental-emotional state is always with you. If it's broken... Fix that shit first.

I used to think Bitcoin was backed by math. Then Anton asked me a simple question: "ETH uses math. Solana uses math. Why didn't math stop Vitalik Buterin from rolling back the chain after the DAO hack?" Because math is just a tool. What actually secures #Bitcoin: •25,000 nodes enforcing consensus. •Energy and hardware that can't be faked. •Decentralized resistance to controversial code changes. •Hashing power The math is the language. The nodes are the enforcers. The miners secure. No shitcoin has 25,000 nodes. That's the difference.

The only Clarity Act you need is studying Bitcoin.

What if we made a shitcoin-free Bitcoin Magazine?

The Year Is 1910: It Took A Single Report To Hand Big Pharma The Keys To Medicine: (Ahmad Ammous)

Hear me out: What if we accelerate Bitcoin adoption by: -dying the Venice canals orange -throwing orange paint on a Van Gogh -gluing ourselves to the floor of the NYSE -barricading highways with hardware wallets Seems to be working great for the other guys.

Paying with Bitcoin is an act of love.

On one side, you have Bitcoiners obliviously talking about how Bitcoin will save the world. On the other side, you have Bitcoiners fighting tooth and nail for the thing to not become Ethereum. Fascinating to watch.
