I love the label ‘Bitcoin Puritan’ and find it humorous someone would think that’s an insult. OK. I dare you. Call me a Bitcoin Puritan to my digital face.


The strongest evidence Satoshi Nakamoto was first and foremost a world-class economist is the simple fact that he coded for function over stunning wizardry. He sought and created the perfect peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
Some coders have the true ethos of Bitcoin ingrained in their souls. For these technical masters who honor Bitcoin as a monetary network, I have the utmost respect. I want to do all I can to support them.
But many coders are the greatest threat to Bitcoin. Coders want to code. They want to prove their genius with new fluffy ideas and fantastical use cases. They can't just leave Bitcoin as the perfect money protocol and help harden it against quantum threats, etc.
Coders cannot be content building their blockchain-based non-monetary use cases on Solana or ETH. Why? Because Bitcoin is the best, and they want to be associated with the best. They have the uncontrollable urge to tinker with perfect money. They neither understand the true need for Bitcoin as a purely monetary network nor the long-term effects of their actions.
Of course, there is also the obvious possibility that some coders want to create or amplify Bitcoin's vulnerabilities for some deranged purposes that are too numerous to speculate on in this post.
"May some grand individuals, combined with divine intervention, be empowered to protect and preserve Bitcoin as a pure, perfect, and enduring monetary protocol." This is my prayer.


For years, I've been trying to find out what a Bitcoin Maxi is. Turns out they're really easy to identify.
1) Maxis self-custody
2) Maxis run a Knots node


Are you a Bitcoin believer who also holds Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin Treasuries? If so, what's your long-term strategy? Have you planned your exit into Bitcoin self-custody?


What is the purpose of Bitcoin? Sovereignty through self-custody. Anything else is a distraction.


What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a modern money protocol that empowers every human being with the freedom to transact and save without government oversight or influence. Value stored in Bitcoin cannot be debased or inflated away.
Bitcoin has perfected the desirable properties of money like portability, scarcity, verifiablity, fungibility, divisibility, and durability.
Everyone who understands these truths and the positive worldwide changes Bitcoin offers will do all they can to preserve it.
Study Bitcoin. Buy Bitcoin. Self-custody Bitcoin. Transact in Bitcoin. Save in Bitcoin.
Literally, a whole new world awaits.


How many of you have opened some software on your computer or phone to find code changes were implemented that no one asked for or needed? Don't blame the Devs, they are just trying to prove their worth and stay employed.
The same thing is happening with Bitcoin Core. Developers are smart and creative individuals who want to code. Unfortunately, it appears many do not understand the Bitcoin ethos, and more importantly, the truly monumental change Bitcoin is for the world economy and every human on Earth.
If they did understand and respect the Bitcoin ethos, they would undoubtedly show more reverence, long-term strategic planning, and check their hubris at the door. Bitcoin Layer 1 is not the place for timechain experimentation and coding Wizardry. Bitcoin Layer 1 is the place for a hardened Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. Period. Stop. The End.


Everyone needs to see this.

RFK Jr on totalitarian governments.
1- Every power the government takes from us will never be relinquish voluntarily.
2- Every power the government takes from us will ultimately be abused to the maximum extent possible.
3- No one in the history of the planet has ever complied their way out of totalitarian control.
Lessons:
1- Every capitulation is a signal to the oppressors to impose new forms of torment, torture, compliance, or obedience.
2- Every time you comply, you get weaker.


If you're not completely "dip-poor" after the last couple of days, I don't know what to say. When an opportunity presents itself, stack Sats & flee Fiat!


DCA is a great way to stack Sats. But you have to admit, it’s really fun to set a stupidly low target buy and getting that random notification that your oder was filled. 😉


I guess Bitcoin will always be measured in Dollars, gold, or something else, but one thing is for sure, it will matter less and less. 

Be careful what you wish for. I see some wishing for Bitcoin to reach $1M per coin ASAP. Unless you are already living the Bitcoin standard, a quick move like that means you're in a world of trouble because the existing system has rapidly declined.
Bitcoin doesn't go to $1M just because it's scarce. It goes to $1M because the other system has been inflated away. 

Truth is sometimes hard.
If you don't self-custody Bitcoin, you are forfeiting financial sovereignty. This is fixable.
