#Bitcoin history they do not want you newbies to know
August 15 2010 184,000,000,000 #Bitcoin have just appeared out of thin air.
#Bitcoin only matters
I used to have a personal emotional attachment to #Ethereum. Their leadership needs to be more knowledgeable and mindful of the fundamental aspects that make blockchains, #cryptography, and #smartcontracts beneficial to a free society. While some may not intend to be malicious, it takes outsiders time to recognize the issues. The evidence is now undeniable that, on the one hand, they claim immutability and censorship resistance, but on the other hand, they attack principles of trust minimization. They also claim to be decentralized, but they are becoming the international banking system's cartel coin. In this elitist coin, only 1 percent can stake it individually at home, while big corporations are the main winners in Ethereum staking rewards and are the go to for the creation of CBCD.
“CBDCs give central banks future-oriented tools to allow them to implement monetary policy in more direct, innovative ways and keep pace with technological change.”

We Are All Satoshi translates to "out of many, one" and "new order of the ages". Both mottos are #American great seals. #Bitcoin #nostr
#Bitcoin is metaphorically engraved on the Great Seal of the United States along with the phrases 'Novus Ordo Seclorum' and 'E Pluribus Unum'. #Bitcoin #Nostr
I have been captivated by #Bitcoin since it was introduced. I find everything about it to be valuable. The shadow banking system, the Federal Reserve, fiat currency, and the US debt, which has now surpassed 34 trillion, have all contributed to the decline of the United States Dollar, a once strong currency backed by gold. These failed systems have caused significant damage to my country and our people. Bitcoin is incomparable, and nothing can replicate it. It is the standard for monetary assets. As time goes by, I plan to invest more heavily in Bitcoin, purchase Bitcoin ETFs, and continue down this path. I am also focused on bringing distributed ledger technologies to the Bitcoin #Blockchain on layers of Bitcoin. Unfortunately, some individuals label me as a "shitcoiner" without comprehending the distinction between Bitcoin as an asset and Bitcoin as a blockchain. We are witnessing virtual machines being added to Bitcoin on layers, DeFi TVL reaching billions, Ordinals, BitVM, rollups, zero-knowledge proofs, and of course, #Nostr. This is only the beginning.

#Bitcoin #nostr
Jack Dorsey in a public interview discussing #nostr said that #Bitcoin payments “will grow faster with zaps and the fact we finally have global permissionless payments on the internet.”
Edward Snowden tweeted that “unlike the old social media ‘platforms’ where the platform-owner (FB, Tiktok, Twitter) gets to decide who can speak—and what can be heard—#nostr is an open protocol.”
#nostr is legit but way to many weird odd anonymous profile accounts. This will hinder growth.
When #Bitcoin flips the total market cap of #Gold (estimated 12 Trillion), all hell will breaks loose. #nostr
I officially sunset my twitter aka X account. Will be focused on #nostr #Bitcoin

Good suggestion. I made the B slightly lighter and the background slightly darker. Very slightly. The foreground is now exactly the same colour as the BC in the old one.
It's kind of OK if you can't easily read the B in the 16x16. At that size, you just need to see that it's a coin. It doesn't matter so much what's embossed on it, just that there be some detail there because it wouldn't look like a coin if it was a blank smooth circle.
It's slightly wider than tall because the dark perspective under it goes more to the right than down.
I finished and posted the 32x31 and 48x47 versions in the first message. I like the 48 a lot.
How does everyone feel about the B symbol with the two lines through the outside? Can we live with that as our logo?

Definitions of soft forks have completely changed from what they were defined as in 2011. #Bitcoin #nostr
On Jan. 17, 1993, Hal Finney, the person known for receiving the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi Nakamoto, wrote an email with the subject “ #Crypto trading cards” on the online service CompuServe to the #Cypherpunks members, where he mentioned a more interesting way of exchanging digital cash through cryptographic trading cards, as referenced below. #Bitcoin #nostr #ordinals #stamps #runes #nfts
“Collect a whole set! They come in all kinds of varieties, from the common 1’s to the rarer 50’s, all the way up to the seldom-seen 1000’s” Finney said in the message. This is literally describing NFTs at the present time.

Toxic Bitcoin Maximalism was created by the Ethereum marketing team, led by Charles Hoskinson, Ethereum power brokers also fueled the block wars by funding the losing side. #nostr #Bitcoin
Nearly 10 years ago Charles Hoskinson makes up the lie that #Bitcoin is only a store of value
I find it so bizarre that so many anonymous profiles are #nostr. It is even more bizarre when accounts talk shit about my factual posts from #satoshi himself on #Bitcoin. If you are anonymous that is fine, but if you are anonymous talking shit, you are soy boy maxipad bitch.
#Bitcoin is the alpha apex predator. Bitcoin will eat the world. We are on the verge of seeing a continuation of the miracle that is Bitcoin. Creat of a #BitcoinOS is only the beginning.
