I bought $100 of Satoshi Island three years ago, back when I was still buying shitcoins. I sold everything except these—they just sit there in my wallet, reminding me how stupid I was. There are no cryptos, only Bitcoin. image

Saying "I'm not interested in Bitcoin" is like saying: I’m not interested in the environment. I’m not interested in the future. I’m not interested in peace. I’m not interested in fighting inflation. I’m not interested in human rights. I’m not interested in... continue in the comments ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #btc #bitcoin #nostr #future
There are two types of people: Those who understand Bitcoin and those who don’t. If you don’t have a self-custodial wallet, sorry, but you’re in the second group. #bitcoin #btc #nostr #freedom
Look beyond your own backyard. Around 24% of adults worldwide are excluded from the banking system, and more than half of them are women. Without a bank, millions of people cannot receive payments, save securely, or access credit. The reasons? Poverty, bureaucracy, lack of documents, and inaccessible banks. Bitcoin fixes this. No banks, no permissions. Just an internet connection and a smartphone to access a financial system open to everyone. Financial inclusion starts here. image
Bitcoin and the Evolution of Life: A Surprising Parallel Darwin’s theory of evolution and the Bitcoin network may seem like unrelated concepts, but they share striking similarities based on adaptation, selection, and survival. Both are decentralized, antifragile systems driven by efficiency—there is no central authority controlling them, only the natural laws of competition and evolution. 1. Natural Selection and Proof of Work In nature, selection favors organisms best suited to their environment, while less efficient ones go extinct. Similarly, Bitcoin relies on Proof of Work (PoW): miners compete to solve complex calculations, and only the most efficient validate transactions and earn rewards. Those who can’t sustain the costs are excluded from the system, just as in nature, where less adaptable species disappear. 2. Forks and Genetic Mutations Genetic mutations introduce new traits in organisms, which can be either beneficial or detrimental. In Bitcoin, the equivalent is forks: when part of the network modifies the protocol, a new version is created (such as Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin SV). If the change proves useful and gains majority support, it survives; otherwise, it fades away. 3. Adapting to the Environment The environment shapes species’ evolution as they adapt to new conditions to survive. Bitcoin, too, has adapted to economic and technological challenges, developing solutions like the Lightning Network to improve scalability and reduce transaction fees. 4. Survival of the Fittest Evolution rewards resilience. Species that withstand climate changes and catastrophic events emerge stronger. Likewise, Bitcoin has survived cyberattacks, regulatory pressures, and forks, proving itself to be antifragile—every challenge makes it stronger. 5. Reproduction and Network Expansion Species spread by reproducing and increasing their population. Bitcoin grows as more nodes and users join the network, enhancing security and decentralization. The more people adopt it, the harder it becomes to stop. Conclusion Bitcoin and life share a fundamental principle: evolution favors those who adapt best. Both are emergent, decentralized systems in constant transformation. Bitcoin, like nature, never stops—it can only continue to evolve. #btc #bitcoin #darwin #nostr #evolution image

Bitcoin doesn’t vote. It doesn’t take sides, fund campaigns, or make promises. Unlike any politician, it doesn’t change its stance for convenience. Bitcoin is apolitical: it works the same for everyone, no matter who’s in power. No president, government, or central bank can control or stop it. It’s the true alternative to a system built on compromises and manipulation. Bitcoin isn’t elected. It’s chosen. #Bitcoin #Apolitical #MonetarySovereignty #btc #nostr
Everyone is happy about Ross's release, but let's not forget we're talking about a president who scammed the world with two shitcoins on his inauguration day. Trump is not the symbol of freedom. #trump #shitcoin #usa #btc #freedom #bitcoin #ross
No president, government, or central bank will ever side with Bitcoin. Least of all Trump. #trump #btc #bitcoin #nostr image
I don't believe centralization is ever a good defense. Anything centralized becomes vulnerable to attacks because it offers the enemy a clear target. Every time you centralize a movement or an idea, you're creating an easy point to strike, like a giant bullseye. This also happens in society: think of the LGBTQ+ community, vegans, environmentalists, and so on. They often fight battles that may be just, but they do so in the wrong way, focusing on rigid coalitions, factions, and divisions. Instead, I believe we should fight for our ideals in a concrete way, through daily actions, without worrying too much about building formal structures or categories that risk fueling further conflicts. What do you think about it? #decentralization #nostr #bitcoin

For 2025, I want a million: a million new Lightning wallets opened, a million new on-chain wallets, a million new merchants accepting Bitcoin. #btc #nostr #million #money #bitcoin
Thank you all for your zaps! ⚡ Every sat I receive is a true sign of appreciation and meritocracy. This is what makes Nostr unique: value created and recognized directly between people, with no intermediaries. With 5,401 sats in the wallet, I can confidently say this is the purest form of meritocracy. Thank you for the support—it’s a huge motivation to keep creating and sharing. Stay zapping! ⚡ #BTC #Bitcoin #Nostr image
Everyone’s crying because “Bitcoin is crashing.” But where were you when I bought 0.01 BTC at 30k? Now I’m up over 200%, and if it drops again, I might grab some more. Instead, what do people do? They buy at 106k, sell at 95k, and then complain. Are you crazy? You’re like the guy who marries the girl he hooked up with on the first night in a club, only to be shocked when she cheats on him. #btc #bitcoin #money #nostr
Merchants accepting Bitcoin in my area, we’re growing in number! #salento #bitcoin #btc #nostr #btcmaps image
They claim to be environmentalists, but they don’t use Bitcoin. They fight for human rights, but they don’t use Bitcoin. They advocate for women’s rights, but they don’t use Bitcoin. They talk about freedom, but they don’t use Bitcoin. They complain about inflation, but they don’t use Bitcoin. They call themselves pacifists, but they don’t use Bitcoin. #bitcoin #humanright #money #inflation #peace #green #btc #nostr
Bitcoin has no value. It doesn’t produce goods, can’t be touched, and isn’t tied to any physical object. By the old rules, it shouldn’t matter. And yet, it’s forcing us to rewrite them. Bitcoin doesn’t derive its worth from governments, banks, or institutions. Instead, it thrives on a shared agreement among people—free from borders and control. It shifts the focus from what money is made of to what it represents: choice, independence, and fairness. Bitcoin is more than a new form of money; it challenges us to rethink what truly matters. Do we trust systems built on authority, or do we dare embrace something that belongs to everyone yet is controlled by no one? Bitcoin may have no value. But perhaps its greatest power lies in showing us what truly does. #Bitcoin #SelfCustody #StudyBitcoin #BuyBitcoin
