@Rajatsoni But this situation is no different to yield on Gilts, where @saylor hiking the $STRC rate is actually a strong signal there's less appetite for them and so to attract more buyers he has to hike the rate to overcome market sentiment It's not a 'good' event, it is a necessary one.

MSTR can keep increasing rates on STRC to buy more Bitcoin As the rate goes up, STRC attracts more capital Having a USD reserve allows Strategy to pay the dividends on STRC, no matter what happens to Bitcoin and $MSTR The flywheel will be unstoppable

@jackmallers All prior monetary systems were based on perpetually adding money to a system of work thereby diluting the value of the work and enabling unearned wealth Bitcoin is the first time in human history we are adding work to a closed system of money. No unearned wealth ♾ IMMANENTIZE!

Bitcoin does not recreate the old wealth class, it destroys the unearned wealth class. Yes, you can get rich. But to stay rich, you have to produce more than you consume. You can't print. You can't leech. You have to work. Proof of work. That's the difference.

@Xfatfuk @Bitcoin_Teddy It is but you can opt out of it through learning how to manage your own bitcoin, whereas you can't opt out of digial fiat payment rails. The learning curve towards safely managing your own bitcoin puts some people off, so the trade-off is that they ask a corporation to help them

@Bitcoin_Teddy But, paying using Strike or Cashapp is also through a corporation isn't it?

Andreas was 100% right. This is exactly what's happening in our society right now.

@KrisPatel99 What an utter cock. Absolutely giving off conman Craig #Faketoshi Wright's (@CsTominaga) deluded narcissist ninja fantasies x.com/i/status/16213…

$PLTR Now I dont just regret selling Palantir but saying anything bad ever... Wish I knew this dude was a level 7 Chinese sword master before I said anything about his watch and politics... Watching this... all I could think about is the twist when he thrusts to make sure the stab hurts as much as possible...

@SimpleXChat Honestly @SimpleXChat the term 'NFT' is so utterly burnt, having been associated with the scammy 2021 jpeg hype cycle it cannot be used ever again, even for legitimate, non-scam implementations Where you have a clearly-defined use-case call it something else, anything but an NFT

You can get a free NFT on our new website. It will provide access to the SimpleX utility token testnet after launch - planned for 2026.

@xpugHODL Jesus, come on dude... The FIRST rule of Bitcoin: You do not talk about YOUR bitcoin! The Second rule of Bitcoin: You DO NOT talk about YOUR bitcoin! 🤕🔧

Bitcoin didn’t succeed because of code. It succeeded because of design. Satoshi wasn’t a great programmer. His C++ was clunky and criticized, but that never mattered. The genius was in the incentive structures that keep the system in balance: miners securing for rewards, users verifying for self-interest, developers constrained by social consensus. The game theory is what makes Bitcoin work, not the elegance of the code. What’s overlooked is that most changes today are argued by people who can write code, but Bitcoin’s real oversight has always come from outside of that circle. Economists, philosophers, and everyday users. Satoshi himself belonged more to this other group. He was a systems thinker who used code as a tool, not as the essence of Bitcoin. At its core, Bitcoin is not software. It’s a social contract expressed through rules. The code simply enforces the design.

@dopemind10 Who'd have thought an intellectually dishonest religious bigot would have an ulterior motive?🤷 I mean, he surely wouldn't be motivated to spin up myriad Knots nodes in the cloud so he can point to them and declare them to be proof that the community wants it, would he? /s

If one illegal image ends up on Bitcoin, it’s toast forever.” This is not just FUD - it’s technically false and deeply misleading. Bitcoin Core nodes do not display inscription content by default. They validate transactions and blocks - they don’t interpret or show embedded data like images or text. To view inscriptions, you need special indexers (like ord) or platforms like Magic Eden, these are separate tools, not part of Bitcoin Core. They choose what to surface. They can filter, block, or hide illegal content, just like search engines or marketplaces on the Internet. Yes, inscription data is stored in witness data on-chain, but unless you intentionally index and reconstruct it, it’s inert hex - not visible or executable. Blaming Bitcoin for this is like blaming the entire Internet because a file could be shared via HTTP.

@maxkeiser @jack You and @jack are both wrong - because you're looking at traditional money and thinking MoE and SoV are mutually exclusive there so must be for Bitcoin, too Bitcoin becoming more valuable as adoption and use grows does not in any way prevent it being a valid MoE Think about it

As predicted, $100,000 was the price Whales would start to sell as Bitcoin begins its transition from primarily a Store Of Value to a Medium of Exchange. This is where I differ from @jack, who is anxious to skip the SoV phase and jump right into MoE It doesn’t work that way.

@tuftythecat @iang_fc @CsTominaga Yep Most likely a very drunk @CsTominaga attempting to sound threatening and utterly mangling his grammar - even more so than he used to regularly do on Twitter in the pre-@grok era. That's how you know a real Craig post from AI, one of them is an idiot, the other has spellcheck

@CryptoDevil @iang_fc @CsTominaga So most likely a lame attempt at misdirection from Wright himself?

Does anyone know the story behind this strange (and probably fake) email from December 2015? x.com/iang_fc/status…

@peterktodd Ah, yeah, that's true - I should probably back up that statement. I absolutely remember seeing screenshots of it tho and even @inversebrah recalled it, too a couple of years back, but he said 'religious leaders' not Pope, so maybe that's more accurate x.com/inversebrah/st…

@CryptoDevil A citation for that would be interesting.

Luke Dashjr is remarkably dishonest and toxic. Adam correctly points out that sub-1sat/vB transactions are getting to miners via the relay network. You can see it happen yourself on my OTS calendars: alice.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org bob.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org Luke's response: “Fake news”

@hotwiresol Using IEO funds to mine $XMR which is then sold, with those funds used to buy #QUBIC off the market, to be sent to burn addresses as a supposed mechanism to lift its price, also happens to be an excellent system for exfiltrating the IEO funds into insider's pockets Just sayin'

News regarding #Qubic : They've started selfish mining again as a last ditch effort to draw attention to their shitcoin project that is dying, price is down almost -10% as of this tweet, CFB in panic mode, #Qubic devs keep selling to rent hash rate but nobody cares anymore

@unstoppablebyhs To shill his next round of blockchain-buzzword-bingo bullshit coin project. And he didn't harm Monero, he pulled a dumb publicity stunt which all the low-iq rubes creamed their khakis over thinking it was gonna make them rich, and then game theory kicked in and rapidly ended it.

why does this guy want to harm Monero?

@CaffeinatedUser You're just shilling hard for #qubic, yet another CfB shitcoin attempting to claim itself as something more than the buzzword-laden FOMO-fuelled greater-fool crap they all are You also clearly know nothing about how a mining pool actually functions None of this math is valid

Qubic just reached 51% share of Monero. This is a huge feat. They will be the first to manipulate a cryptocurrency with a 51% attack. They intend to orphan all blocks from every other miner, making themselves the only mining entity of Monero. The only way to mine Monero will be through them and they are 3X more profitable than mining Monero directly. They are giving half the profit to miners and selling the other half of the profit to buy QUBIC and send it to the burn wallet. If they mine 100% of the Monero blocks this gives them 432 Monero mined per day. This is $118,342.08 at the current Monero price. They keep 50% of that and give the rest to miners making their profit $59,171.04 of Qubic being burned every day. $414,197.28 burned a week and $1.656 million burned every month. This is insane. This is history being made here. Qubic a less than 300 million dollar market cap will be the sole miner of a 6 billion dollar market cap coin.

@venorusprime What's the air quality where it's going to be based? Fans blowing 24/7 can lead to a huge build up of crap on the chips and heatsinks if you don't have really good filters that are cleaned regularly You might want to think about opportunities for utilising the heat generated, too

I'm considering setting up a #bitcoin mining farm in Texas. Maybe 500kW to 1 MW to start with plans to expand to 2 MW. Never done one before. Other than, "Don't do it," any experienced miners have any good advice to pass along? As the saying goes: A wise man learns from his mistakes. A smart man learns from the mistakes of others. Friends, repost this if you don't mind. I'm serious about this and would appreciate all the advice I could get. Thanks in advance!

@pretty_blueyes This machine needs a Bitcoin logo on it. 😉 IYKYK.

How many of us is this true for? 🤔

@tuftythecat Antony Starr - with dark hair and @cstominaga's classic supposed-billionaire-yet-still-hasn't-had-it-fixed snaggle-tooth and he would absolutely nail that damaged, desperate narcissist with a tissue-thin ego character which defines who Craig is and has been his entire life.

This says Christian Bale should play Craig Wright in The Bitcoin Movie. I’m sure he would be very good but I also think there are better choices. Staying with the Big Short theme, I think Steve Carell would be much better. Who would you pick? moviemaker.com/who-could-play…

@P_ScottMorgan Oh LOL @CsTominaga utterly REKT by @grok again and again! And it's not like its having to work hard at it, though, just simply spitting facts. "Based on Craig Wright's history of clumsy forgeries, inconsistent boasts" - His entire career in one sentence. Love to see it.😆

Once again, grok demonstrates it knows what’s what.
