GM! Sixteen years ago, I was the 2nd officer on this vessel.

Fix the money, fix the world Fake the money, f**k the world

A visual representation of something is not that something. A visual representation of the timechain (the Bitcoin blockchain) is not the timechain. A picture "on the blockchain" is not even a picture since the transactions supposed to act as pixels in the picture must be ordered in a certain, arbitrary way to do so. Therefore, THERE ARE NO PICTURES ON BITCOIN! Pretending that sats can be ordered this way is a bit like buying 10000 pairs of socks at H&M and then ordering the receipts for said socks in a way that forms a picture. The whole 100x100 sock-receipt-grid has nothing to do with the socks themselves or H&M's payment systems. Not only is the notion of "owning a jpeg" absurd to begin with. The picture isn't even there! It's all play pretend! So no, no one mined a block with a picture of Donald Trump in it. Stop pretending that happened. It didn't.

Bitcoin can be improved. Just not through change.

Merry Christmas, people!

Tariffs suck. Duh.

The legacy media empires are dead. They don't know it yet, but they are. They don't understand The Internet, and they never will. They're dead.

Today I am grateful for the uniqueness and uniformness of the satoshi.

There is no second use case.
