13 years of school. Not one hour on: What money is. Who creates it. Why it shrinks. Who profits when it does. You learned the mitochondria. You learned trigonometry. You never learned the one system that would rule every day of your adult life. Ask yourself if that's an accident.

every time there's something with lightning, shitcoiners pile in en masse. that means, they're all afraid of lightning.

TCP/IP: Created in the 70s Developed in the 80s Adopted in the 90s Won in the 2000s 30 years from idea to the standard Bitcoin is 17 years Halfway there

On this day in history, 16 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto admitted they have no way to “shut down” the complete #Bitcoin blockchain network

Without Lightning, none of the Layer 2s make sense. Without it, every Layer 2 would be a useless silo and a centralization vector. Maybe Lightning was #Bitcoin's Layer 3 all along.

Poor mindset: "I can't afford Bitcoin at $79,000" Wealthy mindset: "I can't afford NOT to own Bitcoin at $79,000" You don't need to buy a whole Bitcoin. You can buy $50 worth. Or $10. Bitcoin is divisible down to 8 decimal places. 0.00000001 BTC = 1 satoshi. The richest people on Earth are accumulating satoshis. While you're waiting for "affordable." Start stacking. Any amount. Today.

George Ford Smith, in an article for the Mises Institute, argues that the Federal Reserve’s credit creation and 2% inflation target erode dollar purchasing power, fuel boom-bust cycles, and suppress the productive deflation that a gold-based monetary system permits (Aug 24 | 6 min read). https://mises.org/mises-wire/central-banking-scourge-civilization?utm_source=www.btcbreakdown.com&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=better-backs-btc-homes-starkware-tests-pq-cln-warns-operators&_bhlid=e2900c4decb52cacfa1e90af3201582915822be6

JUST IN: The first post-quantum resistant #Bitcoin transaction was mined today. "It required no soft forks. It required no hard forks. It required no core protocol upgrades. And it's live today."

The value of your labor/time is trending to 0 in terms of #Bitcoin Today your annual salary might be 0.7-1 BTC Eventually, the median annual wage will be 0.01 BTC or less Every 0.1 BTC you own will give you a decade or more of time freedom and financial freedom

One day, the entire world will realize #Bitcoin was inevitable. Most will pretend nobody warned them. The writing was on the wall—they just looked away.

Human Rights Foundation awards over 500M satoshis (5 bitcoin) to 16 global projects advancing #Bitcoin payments, development, privacy, education, mining decentralization, and censorship-resistant communications.

Human Rights Foundation Announces Support For 16 Projects

The Human Rights Foundation has announced 500 million satoshis in new grants through its Bitcoin Development Fund.

The easiest way to read the #Bitcoin mining landscape: watch who wins blocks. For years it was Foundry and Antpool, over and over. Now you see pools you've never heard of and 'unknown' miners taking blocks every week. Hashrate is decentralizing at the exact moment the public miners are pivoting to AI. No headline covers this. But it is the network getting stronger while everyone stares at price.

Nic Carter of Castle Island ventures argues that Bitcoin maximalism resembles a failed apocalyptic religion whose predictions on hyperbitcoinization, altcoins, payments, self-custody and fiat collapse repeatedly fail even as Bitcoin itself succeeds as a global monetary asset (Aug 22 | 34 min read).
