If you think of your savings as food, fiat is your fridge and #bitcoin is your deep freezer.
The fridge you go into frequently. The deeper freezer, infrequently.
The fridge encourages consumption, the deep freezer encourages planning.

The first central bank to print money to buy #Bitcoin gets rich. The last one to do it gets fucked. This dynamic can only last so long before someone acts.

Our generation has been given the tools and the incentives to end the monopoly issuance of money and return it back to the hands of the market. If you have kids or plan on having them, you need to be participating in this. There is no revolution more impactful or pressing than the separation of money from the hands of state. #Bitcoin

The traditional concept of retirement is a psyop. “Spend your life doing something you don’t like so that one day you can start doing something you enjoy”. Find joy in your work now. figure out the gift that you can offer the world and keep giving it for as long as you can. The world needs productive people that have honed their craft.

2023-04-17 14:56:19 GMT

For 8 years I was a huge gold bug - classical libertarian maximalist. I’d argue with anyone that would listen that gold was better than #Bitcoin and it was going to zero. Got humbled like a lot of people. The hardest thing for me to understand was how Bitcoin was scarce - “how can it be scarce if anyone can copy the source and make a new one”. Answering that question is the real rabbit hole, and it’s not easy for a lot of people to get.
Lesson here is be patient with the newcomers. Everyone is on a journey and this year’s Bitcoin skeptics are next year’s maximalists. Be humble.

Energy is not “consumed”, it gets converted from one form to another. Energy is infinite and availability is a technology problem, not a quantity problem. The word games exist to put you into a scarcity mindset, make you feel bad about the energy you convert, and then control you politically. More energy conversion is a good thing.

#Bitcoin acts as an economic capacitor by allowing individuals to store and transfer value without the need for a central authority. Its fixed supply and decentralized nature make it a unique asset that can absorb and discharge economic energy, serving as a hedge against inflation and economic instability.

A chatGPT poem about zapping, for the enjoyment of the plebs:
On the Lightning Network we zap,
With transactions in a snap,
Bitcoin flows like electricity,
Efficient, fast, with simplicity.
No more waiting for confirmations,
No need for expensive transactions,
Instant payments, without delay,
Bitcoin's future is here to stay.
Zap, zap, zap, we send and receive,
Our Bitcoin wealth we do retrieve,
Lightning strikes with thunderous might,
Bitcoin shines, a digital light.
So let us zap our way ahead,
To a future that we all have said,
A Bitcoin standard we shall see,
On the Lightning Network, so free.

#Bitcoin is an engineered system with genetic properties. Like other forms of life, it will adopt progressive “genetic” alterations that allow it to acquire more energy.
In the same way that Lions will not adopt a genetic alteration that removes their teeth or strength, nor will #Bitcoin adopt genetic alterations that inhibit its ability to acquire more energy. This is why inferior forks of the system go to zero (I.e, BitcoinPOS). It’s a distributed, synthetic energy life form entirely out of anybody’s hands.
This is what people calling for Bitcoin to switch to PoS don’t understand. There will be no regressive alterations to Bitcoin like there will be no regressive alterations to Lions. More energy or death.

2023-03-02 11:38:06 GMT

#Bitcoin wasn’t invented because it was too hard to buy a coffee. It was invented because it was almost impossible to transmit stored economic energy into the future.

By the end of the decade we’ll be mass producing intelligence with a marginal cost near zero. Implications TBD. Probably means we should all buy more #Bitcoin though.

2023-02-26 16:30:54 GMT

If conflict emerges between US and China or the Russia conflict escalates watch what happens to the #Bitcoin price as global markets price in massive currency devaluation to fund it. Bitcoin will be the peacemaker because it’ll suck the life out of the currencies.

Taking away the money printers means shutting down the projectors to the matrix. The ability to print the money we work for means they can buy votes, influence academia, influence media, influence the corporations that exist, bloat the government agencies, fund endless wars, and shape popular opinion. I challenge anyone to point to any aspect of the modern system that isn’t a second or third order consequence of the money printers. This is why #Bitcoin is the most consequential invention in our history. Over the coming decades everything is going to change. Welcome to the Great Reformation.

Critical thought needs to be taught to kids alongside reading. Teach a kid to read without teaching them to question the author’s argument and a book can ruin someone or set them back decades.

Quoting growth rate as a percentage is misleading. Better to quote the projected absolute size in GB. The growth rate doesn’t compound, it’s linear. If every block is 4MB we can expect a max chain growth size of ~210GB per year

Once you have a functioning global ledger that works, the marginal utility of additional ledgers is zero. This is one reason why there won’t be competitors to #Bitcoin, and all imitations of it are headed to zero.
