Heard @npub1th5g...mnel has the best meetups... they were right!!! @BTC Sessions, it was incredible hearing about your Bitcoin journey over the years. It was great meeting you! 🤝

If I don't post it in here, it's not worth posting.

It's an honor to be part of Learning Bitcoin this fall, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such an impactful space and to everyone who has made this event possible. I look forward to seeing you all on September 28th in Victoria BC 🧡. #Bitcoin

Starting my journey to Nashville the RIGHT way! Coincidentally chose the most bullish cafe bar for my pitstop in Vancouver. (It looked amazing even before I found out they take #Bitcoin   ). 📍FUNK. Coffee Bar -1025 Dunamuir

Since the 2000s, while the M2 money supply has soared, the velocity of money has significantly decreased. Imagine if this vast amount of money circulated its maximum potential velocity. The consequences would undoubtedly manifest in rampant inflation, as the immense liquidity would drive up prices across the board. This scenario highlights the precarious balance between the money supply and its circulation speed, underscoring the often overseen inflationary pressures lurking beneath the surface. #Money #Bitcoin #Inflation

6 days of eating real good food and being looked like I'm nuts every time I say #Bitcoin.

Happy #Bitcoin Pizza Day! Those 10,000 BTC would be worth nearly $700 million today. Up 161.2% from last year's pizza day. But it's not about the dollar value - it's about how far our community and the Bitcoin network has come. Today is for the hodlers, and those moving Bitcoin forward. No shitcoiner should be allowed to celebrate #PizzaDay.

Following the imposition of #US sanctions and tariffs that aimed to discourage Russia's global trade, an unintended (but rather rational) consequence has emerged: a dramatic increase in trade between China and Russia, conducted primarily in Ruble and Yuan. As of 2023, 90% of all trade between the two nations bypasses the U.S. #dollar. China's imports from Russia, notably oil and gas, have soared, while its exports of vehicles, machinery, and electronics to Russia have seen a marked rise. This economic partnership resulted in a record $240 billion in #trade between Russia and China in 2023, a 26.3% increase from the previous year. By weaponizing the dollar, the United States inadvertently propelled these countries toward a #trading system independent of U.S. currency. Latest data from SAFE show the share of Chinese yuan used in China-based trade edged higher in April (52.9% up to 53.2%) while the U.S. dollar edged lower (42.8% down to 42.1%). This statistic underscores the ongoing trend of shifting away from the dollar in #InternationalTrade.

If the fact that the Fed accumulated more Treasuries since the beginning of Q4 2019 than the entire foreign sector accumulated since 2012 doesn't make you think about #Bitcoin, what will?

This meme @npub1kwca...f3xx shared on Twitter this morning, describes me well. Dani things 🤷🏽 #Bitcoin

GM-Connecting the fundamental physics of energy with #Bitcoin was the moment it clicked for me. I am excited to start my journey with The Dao of Bitcoin by Scott Dedels, and delve into Bitcoin's intersection with #Daoism and learn more about its timeless teachings.

Fiat = overflowing bathtub. The physics of value favor #Bitcoin.

Handed in my two week notice at my fiat job today. Life is unsure, but it surely is too short to live it feeling stuck.

This week #Samourai and #PhoenixWallet, along with everyone's financial rights and personal liberties are under attack. I know many here want to believe #Bitcoin is apolitical, and while it is true it doesn't represent or favour any specific political stand & it is money for ALL people, there are strong #political forces around it that will determine the fate of its adoption and the way it is achieved. Money is political whether we want it to be or not. This week, feels to me like the begining of the set of events that will be the catalyst to the great war against & for financial rights and sovereignty, a war on Bitcoin. Fortunately, #Bitcoin has on its side the strongest intellectual assets. The most brilliant minds, the bravest individuals and it's organization & strategy is unparalleled as it doesn't rely on any one actor. It will unfortunately not be as smooth as many would like. Many people will be unfairly persecuted, some will lose it all, and some more will fall with the #fiat system. Many will be people we love and care about, but remember, keep fighting as #Bitcoin will thrive.

Today I got to throw all my morning work plans away. Unfortunately, I would have much rather have dealt with work, instead I dealt with my family's bank account threatened to get frozen until I was personally at the branch location in Mexico (not happening soon). Backstory, we sold my childhood home which was under my name. Knowing this was going to be a possibility, last time I was in Mexico we spent a lot of time with lawyers passing power to my parents to act under my name and grant them full authority. That didn't mattered, because today when the money arrived, the account was frozen and the bank threatened to keep it that way till I was personally there. So many face calls, many emails, scans, signatures and many hours and it is finally done. What a waste of time :) Hope this serves as an obvious eyeopener for my parents and soon all of that house money is in #Bitcoin. Would give me some real peace of mind.

In an #economy where the Money Supply expansion is slowing down (the train will never stop), corporate diligence becomes paramount. Now more than ever, strategic financial management is essential for sustained growth. Super Micro Computer (#SMCI) shares drop 20% after announcing its fiscal Q3 earnings release without preliminary results, disappointing investors. Next week, earnings reports are expected from a number of heavyweight companies including Verizon Communications (#VZ), Visa (#V), Tesla, Pepsico (#PEP), GE Aerospace (#GE), Meta Platforms (#META), International Business Machines (#IBM), AT&T (#T), Boeing (BA), Microsoft (#MSFT), Alphabet (#GOOGL), Merck (#MRK), Caterpillar (#CAT), Exxon Mobil (#XOM) and Chevron (#CVX). Now is a great time to remember everything will go towards 0 compared to #Bitcoin .

The price of all goods trend towards their marginal cost of production. When the marginal cost to produce the system's reserve currency is essentially zero, Save in #Bitcoin or risk watching your wealth bleed out towards 0.

The repurchase of $200 million worth of #Treasury Securities, particularly targeting long-dated securities, is underway. This move marks a significant step, reminiscent of actions taken during and after the global financial crisis of 2008, when the U.S. embarked on large-scale debt buybacks. The Federal Reserve initiated several rounds of Quantitative Easing (QE), notably QE3 (2012-2014), yet major buybacks have been absent since then. With the current US debt exceeding $34 trillion, it's a staggering figure that underscores challenging economic conditions. Imagine if this debt were evenly distributed among every household in the US over 30 years; each household would be responsible for approximately $1,008,577 annually. In today's uncertain economic landscape, exploring alternatives becomes imperative. Why rely solely on the Federal Reserve's strategies, when #Bitcoin presents a compelling alternative in navigating these economic dynamics.

"Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age. Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to encrypt with weak #cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for privacy. #Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract. People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society." -The Cypherpunk Manifesto Eric Hughes (1993) Cypherpunks, particularly in the context of #Bitcoin, are modern day heroes.

The U.S. dollar role as the world's reserve currency brings benefits like a strong currency during fiscal weakness, and economic power. But it also leads to a structural trade deficit. #USD #Bitcoin   The demand for dollar fueled by Monetary Premium, incentivices foreign nations to export to the U.S. while the opposite happens at home, wages and costs are not competitive abroad. This prolonged deficit, erodes #US's infrastructure and increases reliance on foreign financing. Since 1944 US's global share of #GDP has decreased from over 40% to under 20% on real terms. And after the financial crisis of 2008, nations have been diversifying their reserves away from USD. Furthering the US vulnerability as the world's economic power. It is unlikely that any other fiat currency will emerge as the new world reserve currency. Instead, the world is shifting towards a reserve currency that is not issued by any government and that relies in true scarcity: #Bitcoin.
