Have you hosted bitcoin gatherings? Have you been to some?
What can we do as individuals to promote BTC adoption in our communities?
I believe if we all push the needle a little bit, it adds up to a lot.
Help me out!

Systems. Discipline. Narrative.
I build frameworks—on‑chain and off.
Quiet execution. Strong outcomes.

Let's discuss...
My thesis:
BTC Has Colonised ETH Mainnet
Threshold BTC quietly flipped the script.
tBTC works like a hyper‑secure, permissionless fedi — except the “federation” is replaced by randomized, slashed, threshold‑crypto signers. No admins. No keys. No governance backdoors.
And the moment BTC enters through tBTC, something wild happens:
Bitcoin effectively turns Ethereum into its most secure, liquid, and expressive Layer 2.
Not by branding.
Not by marketing.
By function.
- BTC becomes the monetary base.
- Ethereum becomes the execution layer.
- Settlement finality is enforced by Ethereum’s validator set.
- Liquidity, composability, and smart‑contract depth all live on ETH.
- No Bitcoin-native L2 comes close in security, liquidity, or expressiveness.
This is the inversion no one wants to admit:
BTC didn’t need to “beat” Ethereum.
It simply colonised Ethereum’s execution layer through tBTC.
Bitcoin = base money.
Ethereum = global compute.
tBTC = the cryptographic bridge that makes the whole system trust‑minimised.
BTC is literally taking over the world!
Since everyone was nuked on X, I don't want to go back.
I've been looking for an alternative. The main 2 I've been looking at are Primal and Farcaster.
Primal: BTC based
Farcaster: Eth based
My experience so far:
Farcaster seems to be a better crypto native app.
It has more bells and whistles.
It has a much bigger user base and eco system.
But...
Farcaster seems more empty so far. Less engaging. It seems harder to build connections with real people.
Primal seems much more engaging and welcoming.
What are your thoughts, what's your experience?
John D. Rockefeller did not invent oil. Michael Saylor did not invent Bitcoin.
What they both understood was that controlling the best asset was not enough. You had to build the machine around it.
Rockefeller built refineries, rail deals, pipelines, and distribution. He took raw oil and turned it into an empire.
Saylor is doing the same with Bitcoin. He is building capital structures, preferred shares, debt markets, ETFs, and public equity around the hardest asset on earth.
Rockefeller accumulated oil before the world fully understood how valuable it would become. Saylor is accumulating Bitcoin before the world fully understands what it is.
One built the empire of industrial energy.
The other is building the empire of digital energy.
The playbook is the same: acquire scarce assets early, build the infrastructure around them, and let the rest of the world arrive late.




Do you believe in the concept of "decentralized enough"? How much decentralization does a project practically need?
