Cleaned toilets & sold baklava for #Bitcoin in 2011. Past: @blockchain, BitInstant
Being a bitcoiner comes down to one thing: You don't like being told what to do.
I'd actually love to sell baklava again. I enjoy making it. What I don't like is managing an online store, handling orders, packaging, shipping, etc. I just want to create. 😄
Bitcoin remains the best form of money so long as you can transact peer to peer without permission.
No technical aspect of Bitcoin has been “co-opted” The network remains cypherpunk and the tools get more so by the day DESPITE or even, I would argue, BECAUSE of mainstream adoption Major challenges around education, mining decentralization, privacy remain, but “co-opted”? No
Somebody market dumps tens of thousands of Bitcoin, the price barely drops, and then it recovers within a couple days. Bullish.
Low time preference extends out to many other parts of your life besides finances.
Men: If you've held Bitcoin 5+ years, and you're still out of shape, then you need to figure out what the fuck you're doing with your life. We're here to support each other, but it's time to put the work in.
There’s no better drug for feeling good than the endorphins from a workout. Whether it’s runner’s high or a nice pump from the gym. Get out there and get after it!

#Bitcoin Podcast of the Week I've followed @Mandrik since I first got here, but I never heard him speak. Amazing insight. Fantastic energy. These are vibes we need. A masterpiece of an interview. @CedYoungelman, this one is special. @_BitcoinMatrix fountain.fm/episode/acuAyC…
@_BitcoinMatrix #238: Pain, Purpose and Proof of Work with @Mandrik We talk about what it was like working customer support during Mt. Gox, the emotional impact of long bear markets, and why kindness, consistency, and situational awareness matter. 📺youtube.com/watch?v=ISHLfn…
The price action around $120k feels like peanuts. Calm before the storm stuff. I don't know when, but things are likely going to pop off hard and fast this year. I don't need to look at charts. I feel it in my bones.
Love seeing this
SECPOOL, Binance Pool, WhitePool, BTCcom and Mining Squared are all now mining sub-1 sat/vb blocks. Braiins appears to be on board too judging by their stratum jobs, but just hasn't found any while fees were low enough. Estimated hashrate for Sub-1 Sat/vB Summer is ~55%
Had a lot of fun recording with @CedYoungelman. Give this a watch! youtube.com/watch?v=ISHLfn…
