This kind of announcement used to make the number go up, bring a fresh sense of optimism But the market has now become immune to good news and very reactive to anything negative They said the 4 year cycle is dead, but it appears to be punishing all the nonbelievers!

I’ve started uploading Bitcoin Takeover Podcast episodes to Rumble & Odysee Also, I returned to writing blog posts & adding my content in Bitcoin Talk threads It’s mostly a preservation measure to make my work harder to censor If you’re on any of these platforms, subscribe!

I think I’ve become a fan of Asmongold This guy is unhinged, doesn’t give a fuck and covers topics that other YouTubers/streamers are afraid to explore Plus he lives in his mom’s basement with a very minimalistic lifestyle. Spends 1% of the money he makes, super relatable.

Woke up this morning and walked to church Don’t ask me why because I don’t know. I’m healthy, my work is good, I don’t think that I’m lonely or depressed. But this felt good. Might go again tomorrow.

Happy 7th anniversary, Bitcoin Takeover podcast! I documented the most important moments in the early history of Bitcoin Takeover in this article:

The First 109 Episodes of the Bitcoin Takeover Podcast

Much like Satoshi Nakamoto's decentralized money system, the Bitcoin Takeover Podcast was launched in times of turmoil and uncertainty. But if...

On this day 7 years ago, I registered the domain bitcoin-takeover.com Around the same time, I started recording the first few podcast episodes and I wrote an article titled “The 5 Rules of the Bitcoin Takeover Podcast” which I’ve been using as a Northern Star ever since

> Satoshi Nakamoto was a time traveling alien AI who descended upon mortals to bring the perfect money > in July 2010, German programmer ArtForz sent an e-mail to Satoshi & Gavin Andresen to disclose a bug that makes it possible to spend bitcoins from somebody else’s wallet (1 Return bug, look it up)

Bitcoin Talk is such a treasure Hope it stays up for many years to come And most importantly, I hope bitcoiners acquire an interest in studying the history of the project as it happened – not as influencers will tell it You have LLMs now, just ask the right questions!

In a world where Bitcoin is winning No miner would choose to switch to BCH It would just die off and become forgotten. But over the last year, Bitcoin Cash has been hitting new all-time highs in terms of hashrate Why?

This is what copium looks like Coming from the guy who came up with the dumbest NGU theory in the history of bitcoin

My interview with Bruce Fenton got downloaded 8055 times on Spotify over the last week it’s almost as if he became super famous in the meantime and people started searching for more content involving him… or something Anyway, check out Bitcoin Takeover podcast S17 E1 https://www.youtube.com/live/eVRrIcGQxdg?si=5RbWrrbPLE3uXpuc

Bitcoin maximalism is an oblivious “nuh uh” that reacts to a 2014 Vitalik article, but forgets that the point addressed in the article is “everything interesting that you build on altcoins will come back to Bitcoin”. Bitcoin post-maximalism is a return to this original vision

Can anyone show me where the winning is? Bitcoin didn’t scale in a non-custodial way. Didn’t get adopted for payments at a satisfactory rate compared to 10 years ago. Didn’t become a fungible currency. Didn’t add smart contracts. No quantum resistance either.

Apple Podcasts is amazing Now it automatically transcribes the audio and generates chapters that listeners can navigate Ready within the first minute of listening to an episode! Give it a try on your iPhone, now my long-form content easier to digest!

Maximalism is spiteful and hateful towards experimentation. Post-maximalism is welcoming and open to experimentation. Which one do you think will get Bitcoin tech in the hands of 8 billion people?

Bitcoin maximalism is about hoping that the price increase will match the fiat printing (demand is assumed). Bitcoin post-maximalism understands that the price increase is driven by fundamentals and adoption (demand grows alongside technological innovation and development).

Finally watched all episodes of Stranger Things season 5 Super mediocre, tediously long, excessively cheesy, and ruined by the curse of having too many characters and subplots Just when I thought they had too many characters, they added the school teacher & the lesbian nurse into the mix But in spite of all the flaws, Derek was awesome and the ending felt wholesome: a new generation of preteens discovers D&D after the main characters graduate high school and begin their adult lives. 6/10, will never watch again.
