This cypherpunk is the first person Satoshi Nakamoto e-mailed in 2008
Do you recognize him?
He will be a character in the upcoming comic book “Bitcoin: Year One”, alongside Ray Dillinger, Wei Dai, Hal Finney & @Sirius
As drawn by my girlfriend Annie
Work in progress for the “Bitcoin: Year One” manga-style comic book
This is my girlfriend doing a self-portrait. But Satoshi, Adam Back, Wei Dai, Hal Finney, Nick Szabo & @Sirius will also get portraits in the same style.
Working on a manga-style comic book with my girlfriend
It’s gonna be called “Bitcoin: Year One”
I’m writing the story and doodling the design with stick figures, Annie will turn my childish sketches into real art
Hope we’ll launch this in a couple of months!
Ordered a new shelf for my podcast background
Currently looking for some Bitcoin items/memorabilia to include... but I don't want to get lazy and just put a Block Clock, a B logo & fake plastic plants
Maybe some ASIC miners? My OG Casa Node? Some merchandise?
Any cool ideas?
Over the last few months, lots of guys have bought
Cryptosteel metal backups using promo code “BTCTKVR” for a 10% discount
Just wanted to thank you and remind you that the same code works for Satochip too – in case you want to try a new kind of hardware wallet!
Went to Ikea to look at furniture
Holy fuck I’ve never seen this much virtue signaling in a single place
You buy furniture? They have labels to inform you that the wood comes from sustainable places and they use recycled materials too
You go to the bathroom? Their water comes from rain, which they collect
You go to the restaurant, they recommend the vegan option
Fml, I wanna get out of here
Starting to believe that the Lightning network as the one and only Bitcoin scaling solution
Was just a psyop to make bitcoiners accept custodians and cope better with the concept of trust
Yes, it works well for that 1% of users. But everyone else will have to trust custodians.
I’m 33 years old and today I felt excited watching the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation
Not really because of the new games and fancy features
But because I want to play GameCube games from 22 years ago on a handheld with a beautiful screen and long battery life 🥲
Zerocoin and Zerocash were such a big deal in Bitcoin in 2013
They got released as altcoins, perfected & refined for 11 years, referenced in the first mention of a CoinJoin on Bitcoin Talk
Yet the average bitcoiner today will say it’s unnecessary shitcoin tech
Wtf happened?
Bitcoin used to be fun.
Now it’s too corporate, with too many suits who never used a real wallet
trying to maximize the Ponzinomics aspect of it for their own gain.
This is not why I started the Bitcoin Takeover podcast, but it’s exactly why I keep going.
