How I look when I HODL during downturns --VS-- the 3 days every cycle when price goes up

Each year in Bitcoin feels like 10, because these 20-40 years are laying the monetary foundation for the next 1000 years. The density and speed of events is breathtaking. Cypherpunks will be remembered on the same level as the Christian Apostles, or the US founding fathers. Noderunning will become a sacred duty, charged with carrying the fire of sovereignty into the future. Satoshi gave money back to the people. Let's keep it.

Except Bitcoiners. We love being invisible. The alternative is to have someone $50 wrench attack you. No, thank you very much. I will keep looking homeless with my goodwill outfit.

Old school leftists (anti-Iraq war, anti Washington consensus/IMF/WTO, anti-free trade agreements, pro Occupy Wall street), have tried for decades to end USAID, calling it a tool of imperialism. The fact it's Trump/Musk who are finally doing it, was not on my bingo card.

Which one of you just solo mined a block?~~~!!!!!!!!!

I have a few acquaintances who play boardgames, so I custom made a monopoly board with Bitcoin and inflation, then made then play it. Surprisingly, they still talk to me. 🤣🤣

Orange Game theory #63: Rivals of the U.S. will realize, or they already do, that their best chance of toppling the US dollar system under which they toil and struggle, is by aiding Bitcoin adoption. This is a hard pill to swallow, because like many who strive to overcome their masters, they tend to aspire to be like them, to walk like them, to dominate like them. But Bitcoin, their best, and perhaps only chance at succeeding, represents in effect a renunciation of the fiat priviledge to oppress, dominate, steal from, and otherwise sack the people of the world. What will be their choice?

Michael Saylor is just another annoying billionaire who thinks he knows Bitcoin better than the plebs, even better than Satoshi. He made some money by accessing the money printer and buying Butcoin with that, and now thinks he is the king of the world. Well, time will tell, but my bet is that his arrogance will lead to a fiery downfall, much like Roger Ver. And MSTR is the trap of this cycle, much like ICOs and yield products were before. Why do I think that? Because someone who thinks of themselves as above the network and its consensus, will only manage to slowly cut himself off until he finally forks himself out of Bitcoin. Saylor should remember that before he does the same.

Michael Saylor Doesn’t Understand Bitcoin

Saylor is convinced that bitcoin is capital, not currency, and would like to see the whole world adopt the U.S. dollar as money instead.

Lightning is so dead, I sent 3.5 millions sats in a single transaction on my first try! What is YOUR #lightningisdead story?

It's a one way street for me. If it keeps dipping, I i keep buying. Hope the fools keep selling. Ammo is locked and loaded.

What if China purposefully "banned" mining to decentralize the hash rate, because they want #Bitcoin to succeed? No reserve currency can escape Triffin's dilemma, China probably knows this from watching the US decay, and would not want to repeat this mistake.

@Lee Hey hey, saw your post on X. Just saying hi from this bastion of freedom. Let's hope these walls hold against the incoming siege.

I hope this whole thing in Nashville is not a Faustian deal. From Xapo bank to Blackrock and its finance minions, now Trump and Musk. These are not our friends, they are the enemy. We will do well to remember that, or Bitcoin will be relegated to the same fate as the internet.

Will the USD collapse before they manage to kill/co-opt #Bitcoin? It's a battle of attrition, and I have never felt better about the fact so much of the BTC supply is in the hands of hardened, hodling, node-running zealots.

So, is Nostr still alive? Not been getting views on most of recent posts.
