All I ever wanted was to be a father. Now all the three kids I dreamed of are here. I watch them grow with a certain melancholy. The decades I get with them will be gone in a flash. I cherish every diaper change as if it's the last. Maybe we'll just have to make more.

Instead, only try to realize the truth. You don't have enough #Bitcoin

"Bitcoin isn't real money. It's too volatile and the government will ban it. And what if someone shuts down the internet forever?"

What if Satoshi kept 1M coins in case #Bitcoin    got out of hand? "The nature of Bitcoin is such that once version 0.1 was released, the core design was set in stone for the rest of its lifetime." - Satoshi Dumping the coins could still have pulled the plug early on. Perhaps still today.

2016 epoch taught me shitcoiners are trying to get my Bitcoin. 2020 epoch taught me exchanges are trying to get my Bitcoin. 2024 epoch... Blackrock is trying to get my Bitcoin. What happens next?

Explaining to my daughter who @Adam Back is so she doesn't grow up to be a JoUrNaLiSt.

If you don't know what to do, try Bitcoin, LSD and parenthood.

Fiat keeps us poor and at war.

Thanks to Bitcoin, I met roofers who know more about money than any banker or professor. The fancier the title, the bigger the 🚩.

THE BITCOIN MEETUP Berlin, 7-9 June. The world's longest and largest Bitcoin meetup. Book your stay now and read to the end to sign up and support. All free people, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. "Ich bin ein Berliner" was long the proudest boats in the world of freedom. Today, it is "Ich bin ein Bitcoiner." We therefore invite all bitcoiners and the bitcurious to come to this city of Berlin and join us in a summer celebration of freedom 7-9 June. The original Room 77 remains closed until the last block is mined, but Berlin has new bars, restaurants and clubs that accept Bitcoin. The event will be focused on bonding new and old bitcoiners through socials, activities and experiences. This is NOT a conference, but you are invited to offer seminars and workshops at our venue. After the event ends, we will organise joint travel from Berlin to Prague, where @BTCprague (code ERIK for discount) kicks off on 13 June. There will not be a website or regular ticket sales, as we want to keep this event word of mouth. If you didn't hear about it, you probably shouldn't come. So please pass this on to someone who should. If you or your organisation would like to support or contribute to the event, please reach out by DM. We are open sourcing everything. To sign up or support, simply send or zap 42k sats or more to kongeriket@getalby.com including your preferred email (must be valid for info) in the note. If you don't know how to do that, you should probably learn before you decide to come 😉 Welcome to Berlin, plebs.

Still thinking about the time when a drunk hooligan slapped an elderly German tourist with a waffle from the breakfast buffet while shouting "LUFTWAFFEL!"

The FTX of this cycle could be a nation state FOMOing into Bitcoin with leverage and getting rekt. What's your bet?

I've given Bitcoin to hundreds of people and signed up thousands to exchanges. I wonder if any of them think about me sometimes.

"I didn't stack enough Bitcoin"

Last week we were LIVE for $58k. Will we catch a real ATH this morning? ⚡️
