TERRIBLE flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil and our friends from Rolante (the biggest Bitcoin adopting community in the world rn) need your help.👇 If you can give any aid in any way, including Bitcoin, I'm sure they would find it a great blessing. With Bitcoin, it is now possible to send very small amounts, arbitrary amounts, to help in emergency situations, and Bitcoin was MADE FOR THIS. If you are in Brazil you can send PIX, obviously, but being Bitcoiners you have a special power at your fingertips to help people in need. If everyone in Bitcoin who is on Lightning sent a few dollars, this would be not only a very great act of charity, but would also send a signal about how useful Bitcoin is. 6 hbitcoinrolante Confira abaixo como ajudar 👇 PIX 👉 51.299.707/0001-81 BITCOIN via Lightning 👉 enchenterolante@coinos.io BITCOIN via onchain 👉 bc1q4w3mc5uztsznk6v64hwj097umr3p4cepayt6d3 instagram.com/reel/C6gtbUKLk…

COPA coming to Samourai’s defence is what I expect to see announced next. This is a historic case that will determine the future of Bitcoin. The high stakes Samourai case is no different to Bernstein v. United States, and requires a final, definitive answer to the fundamental (already answered) question, “What is the true nature of all cryptographic operations taking place in computers?”. And Bitcoin is simply math being performed in computers, and it is literally nothing more than that. The same arguments for Bernstein, and Phil Zimmerman’s case (http://www.skypoint.com/members/gimonca/philzima.html) apply to Samourai, and the same defences should work if The Constitution hasn’t changed. And it hasn’t. If COPA do not rise to this challenge and defend the underdog, then the floodgates will be opened for the missapplication of money laws to all Bitcoin operations no matter what they are. At the fundamental level, Bitcoin is speech. This is not “Semantics”; this is a plain statement of fact, established in law. Everything you do in Bitcoin is protected speech. If you believe that this event applies only to “mixing”, you are mistaken. The simple act of “moving” Bitcoin from one address you are known to control and are registered with, to another address that is an “unregistered Bitcoin address” could be construed as a criminal act in the future if COPA don’t kill this. And I hope they kill it. With fire. @opencryptoorg

As predicted, eventually someone with laser focus (not laser eyes) will enter the Bitcoin market, and make the process of controlling and using Bitcoin as easy as WhatsApp, without compromise or the need for any education. Bitkey is the first global scale company to achieve the hardest part of this. The focus - very sharp, the user experience - extreme simplicity. By removing all "thought barriers" from its operation, people using this device and service can just get on with using Bitcoin. That's more important than anything. It is a beautiful mix of safe storage and everyday use. The vast majority of users on Earth will never read about Bitcoin just as they have never read about SSL or POP3, but everyone is using the web and email. This has to happen in Bitcoin for it to reach and touch everyone, and it has to reach and touch everyone for it to do the work it was designed to do. This development, like Bitcoin itself, starts off quietly, then all of a sudden, it's everywhere, with the side effect of forcing everyone to rise to its high standards. As it was with the iPhone, before it, all phones had mechanical push button keyboards. Then, seemingly all of a sudden they were all relegated to the dustbin, and the expectation was "keyboardless". You're seeing the beginning of something like that here with Bitkey. This single event could be the beginning of the very much needed sea change in the thinking behind delivering Bitcoin services to the public. Well done that Bitkey team!

People who vote based on sad family stories recounted in tear jerk biographies rather than policy, The Constitution and ethics should not have the vote at all.

“Perhaps one of the more annoying twitter archetypes is the guy who replies to you with some surface level take some podcast f5g or grifter said in the past year like it’s some kind of revelation or counter to what you’re saying. You are not smart enough to to have this conversation, go back to jerking off to some midwit e celeb. I’ve seen this type of guy here way too often for it to be a one off. People are genuinely this unintelligent, and arrogant enough to parrot lines without understanding anything they’re talking about. This is quite literally how leftist movements cascade but now I’m seeing it on the right to a previously unseen extent. Maybe it was always there and I just had too much misplaced faith but to me something has changed. If we claim victory but this is the cost, what do we gain but our own defeat? A question that must be asked.” https://x.com/EndDemocracy/status/1702203345329377710?s=20

The future will be planned, developed and run by men and women with guts who build and invest in companies that build the future. This has always been true. Open Source is not a cult or a hat you can wear while you gush on a “Podcast” or hide in a ghetto echo chamber. History shows that Closed Source Software can dominate because the public has no interest in “Open Source”, and most advocates for it can’t put aside their pride to push companies that refuse to pander to infantilism and nonsense. Winning in the market means embracing the rules of the market; that means promoting the good guys if you have a voice, not just Virtue Signalling to your audience. It means building companies and serving people, not just talking about it endlessly. Thankfully there are a handful of men and women who understand this and who are making the sacrifices required so that others can claim success for other people’s work. This is true in Bitcoin obviously. No one cares that it is Open Source, and if a closed source copy comes to market that harms consumers, “CBDCs”, just as Micro$oft dominated, CDBCs will dominate…but don’t feel bad; fanboys will post on Nostr from their Windows laptops that “THE OPEN SAUCE REVOLUTION IS COMING!”. People who refuse to promote Bitcoin companies but cheer on the names of the tools and philosophies and who refuse to invest in companies are the sort of person you should strive not to be, if you want to see the problems Bitcoin was written to fix get solved. And by the way, those problems can be solved by closed source tools; it’s a safe bet that most of the people drooling over Open Source and requiring it for their tools are not developers and can’t write “Hello World” in C. SOMEBODY has to be realistic SOMEBODY has to face the problems head on SOMEBODY has to take things seriously SOMEBODY has to stop playing to the peanut gallery Make sure that somebody is YOU.

Who is it? “A man has stolen the formula for a novel organic molecule that has widely available precursors, and this organic molecule is “The Cure for Cancer” that’s 100% effective. He knows it’s real due to who he stole it from…And he decides to redact parts of the formula when he release the cure.” What famous man am I talking about?

Visions of the future. Easy to extrapolate once you have enough pieces to paint with.

The inability to grasp scale is one of the more interesting characteristics of Bitcoin Cult members. This also stops them from understanding the size of the fiat problem. I block 17,199 accounts on X. There is no way that that is the entirety of “Bitcoin Twitter” but this is genuinely what some of them believe. This is because they’re in an echo chamber where all the signals are distorted. Since all of these accounts are essentially saying exactly the same thing, I only need to follow one of them to get the (dubious) benefit of all of them. These people also don’t seem to have any people with repeating what other people say over and over, contributing nothing but noise. Do they have a place and rôle to fill? Obviously. Do they need me? Obviously not. Are there accounts that are better than mine? Definitely. Therefore, complaining about being blocked by me is irrational. I’m not interested in reading the same drivel over and over; it’s a waste of time, and depressing. I curate my experience so that only people with something interesting to say can put it in front of me. Is it perfect, no. Doest it have to be? No. What it needs to do is feed me, pique my interest and give me at least some hope that there’s a chance the global switch to Bitcoin is going to happen. Low IQ types typing “LETS GOOOOOOOO”…well…work it out for yourself!

ALWAYS UP TO ME.
