lol this is a good point. Is literally cheaper for me to take a personal, non-collateralized loan to buy bitcoin than for strategy to. View quoted note →

New Quantum News. Bitcoin Flat. BuT pEoPlE aRe SeLlInG bEcAuSe QuAnTuM. Not the biggest reason for price action, stop. Yes we should add validation for hash based signatures in a soft fork, obviously. Market seems to assume that will happen (pretty reasonable!)

An Omega-3 supplement with sunflower oil? I mean whatever you think about seed oils why would you include omega 6 in an omega 3 supplement???

One day I should like to meet the person who’s been using my social since before I was 18. I mean I appreciate that they don’t use it for banking or credit, I’d just buy them a beer, really. image

It’s time to build. Everyone who cares about Bitcoin has to chip in if we want a chance at competing with the big players. The time to build momentum is now. View quoted note →

There appears to be a bunch of “news” accounts on X shitposting about huge whales dumping 100k coins at a time/selling their entire 2011 positions with faked screenshots and are reliably getting 50k RTs and not corrected. 🤦‍♂️

Per River’s latest report the lightning network processes roughly 0.1% the transaction volume of Visa (by volume, not count!). Honestly not bad!

It’s impressive how well LLMs demonstrate the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect.

This. Build the best Bitcoin to get more normal sane people to use Bitcoin and drown out the crazies. That and don’t bother engaging on social media. Sorry to the crazies you’re just never gonna get to interact with any Bitcoin dev at this point - people gotta protect their time. View quoted note →

And so Bitcoin loses yet another person who invested nearly a decade learning its intricacies so that they can meaningfully contribute. At this rate we’re not gonna have anyone left who’s qualified working on Bitcoin. Wonder how much people will love it when the chain randomly splits because of poorly-maintained code. At least lightning security was improved 10x in the interim, I suppose.
