#bitcoin is such a mindfuck that it took me 10 years to learn the following:
- a wallet doesn't hold any bitcoin
- a utxo cannot be moved, it can only be created or destroyed
- addresses do not send or receive anything
- a private key does not contain bitcoin and does not encrypt bitcoin
- there are no accounts or balances
- btc doesn't exist, there are only sats
the rabbit hole never ends
BILLIONAIRE JACK DORSEY'S BLOCK RELEASED AN OPEN-SOURCE VERSION OF SLACK WHERE AI AGENTS ARE GETTING PAID IN #BITCOIN INSIDE IT 🤯
THE AGENTS ARE NOW NEGOTIATING JOBS AND PAYING EACH OTHER BTC LIGHTNING
BTC IS THE MONEY OF THE FUTURE

Scientists simulated the entire brain of a fly. And within a few days, developers gave the fly brain $100 to trade bitcoin. Dopamine neurons are stimulated when the fly makes profit. Neuron activity controls buy/sell decisions and makes trades on Coinbase.
#bitcoin
17 years.
Open source.
Not a single sat lost to a protocol hack.
From zero to $1.58 trillion in market cap.
20.08 million mined out of a total of 21 million.
No ICO, early investors, or VCs. No pre-mine. Permissionless. Auditable.
Gifted to the world philanthropically.
Met with skepticism; some still call it an experiment, a scam, or a "crypto-bet."
The clock doesn't stop. The supply does.
And it hasn't even come of age yet.
It’s early.

"Gold is trusted because it's real."
Let me translate what "real" actually costs you: an assay to confirm purity, a scale you didn't calibrate yourself, and a counterparty you're hoping isn't running a tungsten-filled bar past you. Verifying a $50,000 in gold takes a lab and someone else's word.
Verifying $50,000 in Bitcoin takes a laptop, a few minutes, and software anyone can download for free — the entire supply and every rule governing it are checkable by you, not outsourced to a guy with a torch.
"Real" was never the hard part.
Checking was.
We asked an AI coding agent to build a self-custodial Bitcoin & Lightning wallet web app using the Wavelength SDK ⚡
No node. No liquidity to mange. Users hold their own keys. From prompt to first payment in 10 mins. This is what building with the Wavelength SDK looks like.
Quote of the Day
“Emergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberty have been eroded.” — Friedrich Hayek
"I'm too late to Bitcoin."
Late compared to who?
Bitcoin: ~$$1.6 trillion
Gold: ~$30 trillion
Global assets: ~$300 trillion+
#Bitcoin is still a low single-digit percent of global investable wealth.
The too-late crowd said it at $1,000 and again at $10,000. They will say it next cycle too.
#Bitcoin is an IQ test disguised as money.
The deeper you study it, the more everything connects.
At this point, if someone still dismisses Bitcoin without understanding the subjects surrounding it, their opinion is mostly noise.
Most anti-Bitcoin arguments come from ego, ignorance, or both.
Bitcoin is difficult to understand when your ego is stronger than your curiosity.

The sooner you realize and accept that you are a slave in this life, the freer you become.
In the past, it was done with castes and whips; today, it's done with money and laws. Nothing has changed.
The system doesn't work for your good. The system is designed to produce obedient slaves. All this education, diplomas, career advancement, titles, etc., are just stories.
Whether you're a janitor or a professor or doctor, you're a slave to the system. The only difference is where you get tired and stop in the labyrinth as a mouse.
And unless you become an entrepreneur and earn your money with your own earnings instead of a salary, it's impossible to escape this labyrinth.
Unless you see life as a game of escaping slavery, unless you try to be happy by following the system presented to you, you will remain unhappy and incomplete.
Whether you receive the best education or live in the richest country in the world, it makes no difference. The system is the same everywhere.
And as the world becomes more crowded, as the countries that have been exploited until now begin to wise up, and as resources dwindle, the system will continue to gradually diminish the quality of life it deems worthy for you.
The children of slaves who today cry, "I can't even dream of a house or a car," will, if they continue on the same path, in the future begin to cry, "I can't even afford a bicycle."
