Not afraid to write dumb code.
This is lies, my trust in you is broken, I will make you obsolete
"What goes down, must come up." A new law of economics I've coined today, regarding the supply of fiat currency.
We are less than 4% away from @BitcoinKnots becoming the preferred client used by the plurality of bitcoiners.
Almost had my identity stolen today! What a ride. The thieves tried to social engineer Google's customer support, then steal my Bitcoin held at various exchanges (Blockchaindotcom, Trezor, Coinbase). Obviously I have no Bitcoin on any exchange, so yeah, totally a dead end for…
And this is why "on chain analysis" is not a particularly great tool for predicting BTC/USD. There's a lot of interesting insights about the mempool, network, and blockchain stats that are useful to study for technology and computer science reasons, but financially its useless.
JUST IN: Galaxy Digital announced it executed one of the largest notional bitcoin transactions in history, selling over 80,000 bitcoin worth more than $9 billion 🤯
Mises's Calculation Problem
Fiat makes it difficult to discern whether gains are from dilution or productivity
What do you call a 25% cut at the IRS? A good start.
BREAKING: Trump fires 25% of IRS workforce.

This is the first time in my life I've ever seen an advertisement for the US Dollar.
🇺🇸 @MiebachMichael/@Mastercard, @Brian_Armstrong/@Coinbase, @BHorowitz/@a16z, @PaoloArdoino/@Tether_to, @DavidLRipley/@KrakenFX, @Tyler & @Cameron/@Gemini, @jerallaire/@Circle, and @vladtenev/@RobinhoodApp all agree: Trump signing the GENIUS Act is huge for crypto and finance.
Congrats to the team at @MarathonFusion for identifying a plausible, scalable process for transmuting mercury into gold. This is something that drove Isaac Newton insane.
Other problem with NPR is that they cultivated a creepy vocal style that is basically the voice used by passive-agressive adult authority figures when you get in trouble as a kid.
Lol
*TRUMP LIKELY TO FIRE POWELL SOON, WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL SAYS Bitcoin 8 digits
Is anyone still denying that mempool filters work? If so, wow... they are down so bad supertestnet.github.io/filter-stats/
I've known many people, including myself, who used to be gold fans but later became Bitcoin fans when they learned more about it. I've NEVER heard of a Bitcoin fan leaving it behind to pursue a strategy of collecting shiny rocks. Gold is just a shitcoin promoted by scammers.
BTC/USD is up 100% in 1 year, hitting an all time high today. Remember that for 365 days in a row, gold advocates said it was a bubble. Gold advocates are not serious people. They are clowns, propagandists, liars, and morons. Gold advocates want you to be poor and ignorant.
Buying stuff online with Bitcoin is CRAZY smooth these days Just bought a shirt from a small business that accepts Bitcoin Check out. Enter in info. Skip entering in any tedious card info. Select BTC Generates LN QR Pay from phone wallet DONE in two seconds Incredible flow
🔥Miners are actually mining again ✊🏻
It hasn't even been a year since we launched DATUM and pretty much all OCEAN blocks are now created by miners simply using us for reward splits. I'm really happy to see how fast this is getting adopted.
This meme is so useful for debating people who deny the filters work! As our opponents have begun pivoting away from "filters don't work cuz some big op_returns get in" to "filters don't work cuz some low fee txs get in," I made a variant of the meme to address the new argument
Fewer. There would be *fewer* nonstandard transactions being mined. Which is demonstrably TRUE. Allow me to demonstrate:
What is the history of mempool policy? Enjoy the full conversation with @wk057 and @LukeDashjr from BTC++ ATX!
