The Spiderman meme of Bitcoin adoption:
Someday (soon I imagine) I’m going to buy something using Strike’s Bill Pay and the merchant will be using Square/Orquestra’s BTC conversion.
We’ll both realize we’re using middlemen to settle our transaction with sats and laugh.
Then going forward it’ll be done peer to peer, the way Satoshi intended. 🤝 ⚡️
🔸 The Satoshi Papers 🔸
🥂 A reception hosted last month at @Bitcoin Park Austin. Bringing together some of the best minds in #bitcoin.
🧠 Shoutout to the authors, @npub1kvgw...v0p2, The Texas Bitcoin Foundation, and the University of Austin (UATX).
📈 Bullish on creating bridges for the community to collaborate and build.
More of this 🤝 ⚡️
⚡️ High vibes, higher signal. So bullish on the Austin AI Meetup hosted at @Bitcoin Park.
🤖 Top tier discussion last night on how different people doing different types of work vibe code for their own needs.
🎨 Patterns are getting uncovered and I’m already learning a ton (including how much I don’t know).
🙏 Thank you @Justin Moon, Anthony, @Sahil Chaturvedi, and @Marty Bent for showing off your stack!
🧪 Next week we’re learning how to build an agent — come thru!

@Cincy spoke truth on behalf of our generation as why/why not there aren’t as many vocal bitcoiners.
Basically, we’ve been programmed into owning nothing and being happy.
