Chain Code Delegation is here to make collaborative custody more private. This is a massive boon for bitcoiners who want more privacy and it is incredible to see the Bitkey team leading the charge. Shoutout to the Bitkey team and @Jesse Posner. View article →

The whole edifice of the financial system needs to be re-collateralized with pristine collateral. They won't say it publicly, but JP Morgan just implicitly acknowledged this. image

When money breaks, people reduce themselves to their lowest common denominator in an attempt to survive. In a world occupied by humans with decaying structure, the lowest common denominator is sexual desire. View article →

By the end of the 2030s, we'll all be billionaires. That's not a good thing.

Individuals don't need access to equity slivers of multi-family shit boxes. THEY NEED BETTER MONEY. Pushing tokenization so that more people can gamble on the high velocity trash economy for financialized assets doesn't solve the core issue we face. View article →

Things seem chaotic right now, but always remember: - The solution to every problem is money printing - Gold can have it's day and you can be happy - Bitcoin is superior to every other money on the planet - Stay humble, stack sats View article →

Many bitcoiners are butt hurt to see gold going parabolic. Zoom out, bitcoin has performed exceptionally well so far this decade and will continue to do so. Gold is having its day because governments are falling back to what they know as the dollar reserve system comes into question. China is setting up a parallel settlement network using gold and it's using gold because it's been reliable for millennia and, more importantly, has the liquidity profile to settle the size they need to settle if they're going to compete with treasuries. This does not change the fact that bitcoin is superior in every way to gold. It's a harder money that's more easily divisible, easier to send, easier to verify and easier to custody. Bitcoin still has many trillions of dollars of market cap to add before it can compete with gold from a liquidity perspective. I am more optimistic than ever that bitcoin will reach this point because more people are learning these facts every day and the infrastructure around the protocol is advancing at a faster pace than I've ever seen. Square's release this week is the latest example of this. 4,000,000 merchants across the United States are currently being forced to ask the question, "Should I accept and hold bitcoin?" How many do you think will take the plunge? Zoom out. image

The monthly gold chart going back to 1970 is insane. image

Using traditional metrics and heuristics to navigate these waters will be a futile exercise. Fiat is being called into question and many global superpowers are retreating to neutral hard assets. View article →

Huge props to Square for enabling bitcoin for all of the merchants in their network. This is the type of "corporate" bitcoin adoption you love to see. Bitcoin is an asset that can help small businesses in ways that most people cannot even fathom. View article →

Will the sprawling subdivisions, cookie cutter multi-family units, soulless libraries, plastic playgrounds, bionic light posts and bland strip malls that litter this country leave our grandchildren with a sense of awe and inspiration? View article →

Recognizing that debasement is the only way out of the debt problem has just been made "cool" in the eyes of some of the most respected institutions in the world. A bitcoin standard is inevitable. View article →

JP Morgan is referring to bitcoin as "the debasement trade" in reports. For almost 17-years bitcoin has developed a track record of reliability, certainty and resilience. We have reached the point where it has become impossible to ignore. You are not bullish enough. image

Bitcoin has many properties. Its influence on your psyche is its most powerful. This applies to both individuals and businesses. The world isn't prepared for an economy built by founders who have had their brains re-wired by bitcoin's incentives. View article →
