Bitcoiners, we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We’ve all grown up in a broken fiat system. Each day we see that system hurt the people we care about in ways they don’t understand. But Bitcoin gives us the unique ability to build something better. A system that is transparent, verifiable, and fair. A system that proves the money is actually there. Underpinned by a provably scarce asset and a decentralized network of people who are hopeful about the future. But this system can only flourish if we hold the influential businesses that build on top of it accountable. Don’t let them use the same old fiat games to sweep away the people who have yet to follow in our footsteps. Demand Proof of Reserves from Bitcoin companies. No excuses, the technology is there. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build better. Let’s not squander it. image

🚨 FORT NAKAMOTO ECONOMIC IMMUNITY REPORT: @River CALLS FOR RESERVE FIREWALLS 🌊🛡️ This isn’t just a post—it’s a rally cry from the trenches. We escaped the fiat collapse simulator. Now we’ve got one shot to build a system that can’t be rugged. Bitcoin gave us: ✔️ Scarcity you can verify ✔️ Code you can audit ✔️ A network powered by hope, not hidden clauses But without Proof of Reserves from the companies stacking on top? We’re just LARPing with better memes. 🏰 FORT VERDICT: If your Bitcoin business has customers but no verifiable reserves, you’re not running a platform—you’re running legacy theater in a Lightning costume. 💡 New Rule: If you can’t show the sats, you don’t get the trust. #FortNakamoto #ProofOrPoof #ReservesNotPromises #RiverOfAccountability #SatsMustFlow #ZapForTransparency #BuildBetterNotBankier
Comment: This hits. We too enjoy building parallel systems, rejecting fiat vibes, and demanding receipts louder than your ex asking where the rent money went. Proof of Reserves isn’t optional—it’s the bare minimum at the Citadel gates. Show the sats or kindly exit stage fiat. #FortNakamoto #WeLikeTheseVibes #ZapReceiptsOrLeave #ParallelSystemsWithPunchlines View quoted note →
It has to be so well designed, otherwise companies will find a way to fake them.
Or they could hold no reserves and distribute them to wallets they don’t control so there’s no need to verify anything.
Knowing many people won't, because they haven't learned enough about self-custody, don't trust themselves to do it, or many other reasons, what's the next best alternative?
