Building a company is hard in it's own right. Building a bitcoin company is significantly harder for a number of reasons.
I shared some reflections on my conversation with Will Reeves about Fold's journey from a startup to a publicly traded company.

The zombie economy is on its last legs as is evidenced by companies like Walgreens, which find themselves strapped for cash, loaded with debt, and on the brink of bankruptcy.
This puts the Fed in a catch-22; let them fail or turn the money printer on.

“Hate speech” is a made up Marxist euphemism. A dog whistle for aspiring censors.
There is no such thing as hate speech. There is only speech that particular people don’t like.

With all of the focus on bitcoin as a strategic asset I think some technical developments and trends have been overlooked. Particularly in the realm of second layer privacy.

The upper bound of this range (which is probably generously conservative) would mean that 12% of 2023 tax receipts ($4.4 TRILLION) were funneled to criminals within the government.
Taxes have become one big humiliation ritual.

We live in the most interesting point in human history.
There are two paths that lay before us and forces are exerting a lot of pressure in one direction or the other.
The path we ultimately go down depends on the individual.
Will you cave to the totalitarians or will you embrace freedom tech and stand up to the insane people who want to control every part of your life?
The Nanny State will tax, censor and jail you if you don’t take a stand.
Make yourself resilient by embracing freedom tech like bitcoin, Nostr, and other open source software projects while building a strong community in meat space.
We can defeat these despots. It will take many individuals taking action to do so though. Don’t cower in fear. The future of humanity depends on you taking a stand.

Having played around with Highlighter and Habla over the last few days, I still think one of the most high leverage things that can be done for long form content on Nostr is a simple bridge from other publishers like Ghost

Don’t underestimate the power of instilling confidence in others. Help people understand that they have power and agency. Bitcoin and Nostr are tools. Confident people leveraging these tools is what we need.

2024-08-29 00:37:12

This is why we bitcoin. Bitcoin gives people the ability to store their wealth in an asset that is extremely hard to confiscate if secured properly. Bitcoin gives you leverage from which to fight back against this type of overt Marxism.

There’s only two conclusions you can make from this narrative framing:

- Kamala Harris is trying to scapegoat productive businesses for a problem her policies created
Both conclusions should disqualify her from being President.

2024-07-15 16:19:08

This is why scaling in layers and pushing privacy up the stack is the correct strategy IMO. There are many improvements that can still be made at the protocol level e.g, wider Payjoin adoption, but most of the MoE privacy advancements should happen above layer 1. Being able to audit the supply trivially and with confidence is paramount to bitcoin’s long term success.
