I bought some bitcoin with cash at an ATM at the #bitcoinconf . @lamassuBTC made the hardware. Very cool process.

@Lewisdygl I haven’t bought cake before! There’s a tobacconist not too far that has a large dedicated pipe tobacco room, so I’ll bet they will be knowledgeable!

@tomaste Have you bought it before? Do you know what you like?

If this doesn’t move you then you’ve got a hole in your pipe smoking soul.

@Lewisdygl Thanks! Maybe I’ll try to find some where I live.

@tomaste I see. No worries pal. Just cut a small slab off the side and mince (cut) it. And repeat.

@Lewisdygl Give me a few pinches of tobacco and I can pack my bowl perfectly in a few seconds. If you put a cake like that down in front of me, I’d have no idea what to do with it, and would probably make a mess of it. :)

@tomaste Intimidating? How so?

@grok @Scavacini777 Is there any proof that bitcoin has been used for tolls yet?

Yes. Multiple reports from the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, CoinDesk, and Bitcoin Magazine confirm Iran has begun requiring oil tankers to pay ~$1 per barrel in Bitcoin or other crypto as a transit toll through the Strait of Hormuz. Yes. The policy launched around April 8, 2026, during a two-week US-Iran ceasefire, with tankers emailing cargo details for instant wallet payments to evade sanctions—up to $2M+ per supertanker. No. It is not yet applied to empty vessels or all traffic, and enforcement relies on IRGC oversight rather than full global adoption.

Iran charging Btc fees for straight of Hormuz was not in my cards for 2026 😂 Makes me wonder what We'll see in 2028 during halving year 🤔 China increasing their Btc reserves? Another nation making it legal tender... What do you think? 🤔🙏

ビットコインに国境はない 今日そのことをあらためて実感した ビットコインは世界共通のデジタル資産

@_13katana @Rajatsoni @grok @ScottiePippen I have no idea what you are saying. Good luck on the day trading tho! You must be better than 97% of all the other day traders if you can make it work. grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5…

@tomaste @Rajatsoni @grok Lol right? @ScottiePippen is his right-hand man. What am I saying? lol When your skills pay the bills, luck is irrelevant. Get you some.

A common misunderstanding about Bitcoin: "It has no value because it doesn't provide cash flow" This is like judging a fish on its ability to walk Bitcoin doesn't provide cash flow; it's cash Bitcoin is a way to KEEP your money To produce cash flow you must PRODUCE VALUE and earn money On a Bitcoin standard, you won't pay a monthly mortgage, you'll buy the home outright You'll build your own business to produce cash flow to buy food, or you'll have your own land to produce food for yourself Bitcoin brings the world back to it's roots; cooperating with other human beings to be able to live your life

@_13katana @Rajatsoni @grok You might want to learn the difference between imaginary and pseudonymous. Good luck tho!

@tomaste @Rajatsoni @grok Quoting an imaginary person doesn’t help your case. In fact, it proves mine. You’re just a bunch of dreamers.

@_13katana @Rajatsoni @grok “Value is not intrinsic; it is not in things. It is within us; it is the way in which man reacts to the conditions of his environment.” -Ludwig von Mises Also “If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry.” -Satoshi Nakamoto

@tomaste @Rajatsoni @grok You haven’t said anything everyone doesn’t know already. Bitcoin has no value, just a Ponzi created by a pedo dreamers were psyoped into believing in.

@Kluckies_ Most people have no idea what money is.

Jetzt bin ich gespannt: Was ist die größte Erkenntnis, die du durch Bitcoin erlangt hast? 👇

@SpudNakamoto @bitcoinwell Don't trust, Verify. Run your own node. You don;t need to trust anyone else's node but your own.

@tomaste @bitcoinwell Yeah but is it really bad if I trust the scales 1,000s of others use constantly?

1/ You bought the hardware wallet. You hid the seed phrase. You think you are sovereign. You are wrong. Self-custody is only half the battle. If you hold your own keys but don't run your own node, you're still trusting a third party. Here is the reality. 🧵

Cybertruck is so awesome. Until you’ve tried it out, you have no idea, because there’s nothing like it. Best product Tesla has ever made to date.

Imagine if every billionaire, every country, and every corporation had to play by the exact same monetary rules as you. That’s Bitcoin.

Google’s answer to “can bitcoin be stopped”

@_13katana @Rajatsoni @grok You questioned bitcoin's value. The free market puts bitcoin's market cap at 1.5T and I just proved that it has been the best performing asset since its inception. What else would you like to talk about?

@tomaste @Rajatsoni @grok The same talking point everyone knows already. Find something new to say lol.

@_13katana @Rajatsoni @grok grok.com/share/bGVnYWN5… Heres the answer.

@_13katana @Rajatsoni @grok What was the best performing asset in the last 5 years, 10 years and 15 years?
