This is terrific work by the @NakamotoProjct. Bitcoin is apolitical, just like every other technological innovation. It’s how we use it that matters.
1/n In March 2025, @NakamotoProjct surveyed 3,538 adults in the US. We found: -48m American adults own bitcoin -11m hold their own keys -Bitcoiners are more likely to be male, young, and non-white -They're politically diverse but right-shifted -They're "moral maximalists." 🧵
Bitcoin is neutral to politics and culture making it by its very nature, inclusive. More than NGU, this is why it matters.
You can lose followers and still win. Someone told me they felt understood because of a post. That’s the kind of connection I won’t trade for numbers.
Time to understand bonds. A financial reset is afoot.
What just happened? At 1:00 PM ET, the S&P 500 fell nearly -80 points in 30 minutes without any major "news." What actually happened was a weak 20Y Bond Auction which sent US Treasury Yields soaring. Investors MUST watch yields here. Let us explain. (a thread)

I can’t stop watching this.
Still can’t get over this sequence. My man grabbed HIS OWN MISSED FREE THROW and then MORTAL KOMBATED ALL OF CLEVELAND. #YesCers
We are sorely lacking in compassion and humility from our world leaders today. This doesn’t mean that we should walk away from our personal values, in fact, quite the opposite.
Compassion is on hiatus but will never go out of style. Because sooner or later, every one of us needs some. You’re laid off. You’re divorced. You’re sick. You’re broke. We can’t expect our future hardships to be met with compassion if we show no empathy today. ❤️
IU! ❤️

One of the most important "use cases" for Bitcoin is in the Human Rights space. Thank you to @gladstein and @NSmolenski for highlighting this, as well as @PeterMcCormack for creating the forum.
