Capitalism is not the problem and socialism is not the answer. Fiat money is the problem and #Bitcoin is the answer.

Bill Gates spent $7.6 MILLION creating genetically modified ticks designed to SPREAD in the wild. Two years later, a peer-reviewed paper was published saying that it is “morally obligatory” to use CRISPR-edited GMO ticks to intentionally spread alpha-gal syndrome and FORCE humans away from eating meat. Now an estimated 450,000 Americans have alpha-gal syndrome, and a new CDC study found alpha-gal antibodies in 24.0% of adults across the five hardest-hit U.S. states. The FBI must investigate all possible bioterrorism-related activities behind this massive surge in tick-induced meat allergies.

@ThomasPhilipw @based16z No one is buying bitcoin but we can sure up the dollar to bitcoin. There is still accountability in the future and a way out for future generations. Bitcoin is a protocol not a cult.

@based16z Needing MSTR to rip for Bitcoin to go higher makes me hate Bitcoin. Not what I signed up for. The opposite, in fact.

🚨THE INTERNET IS EXPLODING RIGHT NOW: HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE SAME THING - TIME HAS RETURNED After CERN shut down the Large Hadron Collider on June 29 for a 4-year pause, identical posts suddenly started appearing: "the days feel long again, like they did in childhood," "yesterday felt like it lasted forever," "I went to bed at 9 PM and slept like a rock," "everything around me has slowed down, and it feels amazing." Some people say they're having vivid dreams again, others say smells have become richer, and that their anxiety disappeared for no apparent reason. Time has stopped "flying by" and seems to have returned to its old, calmer rhythm. And this is where things get really interesting. Conspiracy circles have long claimed that the collider doesn't just accelerate particles - it supposedly opens portals, shifts timelines, and creates "glitches" in reality (the Mandela Effect, accelerated time, the feeling that someone pressed fast-forward on our lives). While it was running - we were living in a slightly distorted flow. And now that it's been shut down... everything seems to be returning to normal. Maybe it's just a powerful collective attention effect (everyone read about it and started noticing it). Or maybe it's something deeper. Like a massive machine really was affecting the fabric of space-time, creating microscopic "tears" or resonances that we experienced as time speeding up. Now the portals are closed, the simulation has rebooted into a more "natural" mode, or maybe the universe has finally exhaled. The funniest part is - nobody knows the truth. Physicists will say it's "nonsense and placebo." But those who genuinely feel the change are already saying: "Leave the collider turned off for a little longer." What about you? Do you feel this change? Have the days really become longer, or is it just summer and everyone's tired of the constant rush?

Who would you trust to run the world?

The Boise, Idaho area was hit with one of the worst summer storms ever recorded yesterday evening. Some areas had more than 8 inches of hail in less than an hour.

@DrJackKruse Thank you

Looks like my message got through to the plebs.

@sue_xbt 100M

Everyone has a number How much would it take for you to quit Crypto / Twitter and never come back? $100k? $500k? $1M? $10M?

@blockchainchick Sustainable debt increases

Nobody has still answered this simple question about Strategy: How do they sustainably pay the yield?

If shit truly hits the fan - what countries/passports do you want to have? I am no doomer, but geopolitics getting really weird these days, so here is my thought process:

@Cryptotea You had friends?

my friends stopped inviting me to parties after crypto crashed

I just spoke to my dad for the first time since he was paid his first $STRC dividend four weeks ago. He didn't understand why the price had fallen so far from par. I was honest with him — neither did I. I told him the latest theories about accounts in TradFi getting wiped out on leverage, but margin debt is so abstract to a farmer who barely ever touches his investments that I'm not sure this made much sense to him. After talking through the situation, I came to realize that, yes, my dad was concerned — some would say worried — but not for the reasons most people would think. "Just remember, Dad — you're still going to be paid the same dividend, regardless of the market price." "Okay, but... how?" That was the moment I realized my dad had fallen into an unfortunate misconception I've noticed even among some in the #Bitcoin community — something that I'll call the dividend yield fallacy. We all grow up learning about compound interest, which is universally expressed as a percentage. If you go to the bank and open an interest-bearing account, they will express the interest rate as a percent of your deposits. Your mortgage interest is expressed as a percentage of your current balance. Similar story for your credit card accounts. So it should be no surprise that when regular folks learn about investment products like STRC that are marketed as paying 11.5% annually, they think about it through the same lens. But there's a blank space in their mental model: 11.5% of what? In the absence of clarity, the mind naturally assumes that the denominator is the current value of the instrument: the market price. This leads some folks to think that the dollar amount of their monthly dividend falls as the market price falls. Life does not prepare most regular people to think in terms of fixed income — what some in the finance community affectionately call "bond math." Many fixed income instruments, including many bonds, pay a fixed dollar amount. Not a fixed percentage — a fixed dollar amount. That fixed dollar amount is often expressed as a percentage of the instrument's value at par, but that dollar amount does not change merely because the market price falls below (or rises above) par. This is what gives rise to a so-called effective yield — the dividend yield recomputed using the current market price in the denominator instead of par value. This concept was foreign to my dad. "So you're telling me that the price could fall to $2, and I would still get paid the same dividend per share that I own?" "Yes." "And so when my dividends get reinvested, they're buying new shares at a discount, not at 'full retail' price?" "Yes." I thought I had conveyed this clearly in one of our previous calls — and maybe I had! — but I'm now realizing that this concept is different enough from most people's lived experiences that we need multiple exposures before it can be expected to stick. Once my dad learned — or re-learned — how the bond math works for STRC, he was not only relieved, but speechless. "I'm in awe, son. We didn't grow up with anything like this. Hell, I didn't even start investing until MegaCorp," he said, referring to the corporation he worked at for 24 years. "I've never seen anything else in my life like this!" He continued: "I don't understand why everyone isn't investing in STRC. Why wouldn't anyone who owned a home, who was getting ready to retire, be in this thing?" "I hear you, Dad. I'm guessing it's because they don't understand how it works, and people are generally fearful of anything they don't understand — at least at first," I said. I sincerely appreciate how my dad is trying his best to understand this wildly new product that is helping him meet his financial goals. That said, I think the crux of his misunderstanding — and the source of his initial concern — can serve as a thought-provoking case study for @Strategy as they fine tune how best to communicate with the public about STRC. To be clear, I understand why Strategy markets STRC's dividend as a percentage yield. Percentage yield is an industry standard concept. It also frames the instrument's income return conservatively in investors' minds; if the price falls, the effective yield on new shares only goes up. But there is a cost to this in the form of potential misunderstanding. By communicating the dividend yield ONLY in terms of a percentage, some investors will be left to assume that the dollar amount goes down as the market price goes down. The fixed dividend relative to market price is one of STRC's greatest strengths. It's why my dad is not only not worried, but completely at ease in this sea of bear market panic. My hope is that we will find ways of better communicating this key concept when we talk to our friends and family (and each other) about digital credit. 🟠 $MSTR $STRC

@PeterSchiff I will gladly pay more dollars forever for a scarce, verifiable asset that can’t be seized. Gold is only 1 of those

Bitcoiners claim Bitcoin is cheap. Cheap relative to what? Maybe relative to its bubble high, but not relative to its historic lows. With no earnings, yield, book value, or productive use, Bitcoin has no valuation anchor. “Cheap” just means buyers hope a greater fool pays more.

IF this is not remedied I will never use another @Apple product ever.

Time to move to opensourced hardware and to opensourced software. I guess we just needed an enemy to build what’s needed for digital freedom

@saylor Get some rest we need you operating at 100% ignore the trolls

Bitcoiners agree on the 99% that matters. We shouldn’t let the 1% divide us while nearly all global capital has yet to enter Bitcoin’s monetary network. The opportunity is bigger than the argument.

In 2011 there was a marketplace called Silk Road where people only transacted in bitcoin Why does a bitcoin marketplace not exist now in 2026?
