@pete_rizzo_ @saylor @Strategy, "Your stash is a matter of national security. Prepare for nationalization. Resistance is futile."

BREAKING: US SECRETARY OF WAR JUST SAID #BITCOIN IS NOW A "MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY" THE US GOVERNMENT IS ABOUT TO GIVE A MASSIVE UPDATE ON THE STRATEGIC BTC RESERVE IN WEEKS THIS IS HUGE 🔥

@allenf32 hilarious! 🤣

I think we might have a problem guys 😬

@Giovann35084111 @BernieSanders The left want to be victims to be saved by the almighty state, not sovereign individuals subject to no one. Thriving individuals are immediately suspected of defrauding the collective. Either we all thrive or we all suffer.

The left missed Bitcoin as a transformative tool for wealth creation, including for ordinary people and especially for the working class. They dismissed it as something “for the rich,” when in reality Bitcoin created wealth for many people who were not wealthy before. It also gave millions of people access to a monetary network that does not require permission from banks, governments, or legacy financial institutions. For the unbanked and underbanked, Bitcoin is not a toy for speculators. It can be a lifeline, a savings technology, and a way to participate in a global financial system. Bitcoin is for everybody. One could write an entire book on how badly the left misunderstood it: a decentralized, open, censorship-resistant monetary system that anyone can join, regardless of class, nationality, race, or status. These are values the left should have recognized immediately. Instead, many chose to see only the billionaires, the volatility, and the speculation, while missing the deeper revolution. Now the same thing is happening with AI. AI has the potential to liberate people from menial, repetitive, and soul-crushing work. It can give ordinary people tools that were once available only to corporations, experts, or the wealthy. It can amplify creativity, education, productivity, and entrepreneurship. Used correctly, it could lift millions out of poverty and radically expand human potential. And once again, much of the left reacts with fear, resentment, and prohibition. They are positioning themselves on the losing side of another technological revolution. Being a Luddite does not work. It did not stop industrialization, it did not stop the internet, it did not stop Bitcoin, and it will not stop AI. The right question is not how to stop these technologies. The right question is how to make sure they remain open, accessible, and empowering for everyone.

When the CEO of Verizon predicts AI & robotics could lead to 20%-30% unemployment within the next few years, we may want to take notice. AI is the most transformative technology in human history. We’re not prepared for it economically or socially. That must change. NOW.

Hey @Giovann35084111 and @moneyordebt! Did you look into Ergodic Economics of @ole_b_peters yet? I think it can add a novel fundamental perspective to Bitcoin's power law growth process and risk management. See ergodicityeconomics.com/2023/07/28/the…

@ecurrencyhodler What happened in August 2025? 🤔

@caprioleio pbs.twimg.com/media/HGEN8FGW… looks like a totally sustainable spending path...

@caprioleio AI investments are highly subsidized right now. Let's see how long that is sustainable. After all, real value needs to be created for the energy expense. For over a decade Bitcoin mining was the most profitable direct use of electricity. If that changes permanently, it's an issue

This is a wild and concerning trend for Bitcoin. This is far worse than I had realized. This is a list of all the major public Bitcoin miners. ALL have made statements to pivot to AI. ALL are targeting major shares of revenue from AI from here, not Bitcoin. On average current Bitcoin revenue is expected to drop from 90% to just 30% in the next 2-3 years! Do you see a pattern? The stocks doing the best in recent years all jumped into AI big time. Those with 80%+ AI share of revenue targets saw their stocks climb up over 500% on average. Those targeting <60% AI revenue saw 1/10th the growth, with many having negative 2 year returns. The message is clear. If these numbers are even half accurate, and they are based on direct company statements, the energy and commitment to Bitcoin is under significant threat over the next 2-3 years. All while Quantum computing is taking off and poses an existential threat to Bitcoin unless we change the code. Many of these miners are not even planning to upgrade or renew Bitcoin mining hardware at all, simply running out lifespan of the existing and reinvesting only in AI. The market has been voting with its feet. Now the miners are voting with their feet. Just as Bitcoin is about to approach its biggest ever threat in the coming years, the backbone of its security is leaving the industry. Bitcoin used to be famed for having the biggest computing network in the world. It's now collapsing into AI at record pace.

@wtogami @elonmusk Consumer demand. Robots/AI won't care about these goods and services. Also, some services have high human preference.

@elonmusk Why do we need humans anymore?

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@GamewithDave Monkey Island

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

@raw_avocado @gladstein Where are these authors these days?

Did you know the NSA published a Cryptocurrency Paper 12 Years Before Bitcoin?

@BitMEXResearch Or they stay stealth cracking small holders for a while before they are detected and panic sets in.

@BitMEXResearch Why would the quantum entity ever hack the canary fund? The quantum entity must expect to be detected quickly and BTC price would crash quickly afterwards. They must hack the largest address first and dump quickly.

@metamick14 If you just hold on to Bitcoin and don't use it you're one hell of a Bitcoiner, a true hodler.

If you just talk about Bitcoin and don’t use it you’re just a theoretical Bitcoiner, not a true Bitcoiner.

@kwasi_stackbtc When @PeterMcCormack show?

Thank you for the warm welcome into the Bitcoin army. I’m Kwasi Kwarteng, I’ve got a PhD in economic history, 14 years as MP for Spelthorne, and formerly UK Chancellor of the Exchequer. I’ll be honest: in my time in government, Bitcoin wasn’t even part of the conversation at national level. That was a mistake — one I intend to help correct. I’m now Executive Chairman of a BTC treasury and I’m here because I believe Bitcoin will fundamentally reshape the global financial system. My background is in studying exactly these kinds of monetary transitions, and this one is real. Looking forward to the conversation.

@SaniExp btw, where is Iran's stash? 🤔

Morgan Stanley’s MSBT Bitcoin ETF currently holds 874.47438786 BTC on-chain. Associated wallet addresses: bc1qnweu676a9nfzjq7dpny6309h2mprfhyx2ax5jn bc1qe3evj54n993p0pa3w5p64e0a56v2ruw3r7qqqg

@palmbtcX It will always stay risky for those just entering. It will always be much less risky for those that held for a while vs. those entering today. 🤷

This is a serious question that I have been thinking about recently, When do you think Bitcoiners can claim they won? Like when is the point where not one single low IQ person who calls Bitcoin “risky” has any merit left? Is it a certain price? Is it the government buying it? Or will we always have to deal with doubters even into the millions?

@david_eng_mba @arkham where are Iran's coins going?

Hormuz just made Bitcoin easier to understand. A $1 per barrel toll on pre-war Hormuz flows would generate about $20 million a day. At current prices, that is about 281 BTC. Bitcoin only issues 450 new BTC a day. If stablecoins can be frozen by the U.S., then neutral settlement matters. Bitcoin is the obvious candidate. So one geopolitical chokepoint could theoretically absorb about 62% of all new Bitcoin supply. Scarcity matters more as the world gets more fragmented.

@dotkrueger #RSA-1024" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_numbe… RSA-260 would be a start, too.

The real “oh shit” moment for quantum isn’t Bitcoin. It’s RSA-1024. When that falls you’ll know quantum computers have crossed the line from toy problems to threat. We are nowhere close. Sorry project 11

@BitcoinMagazine Yes, as MoE but not UoA.

BREAKING: 🇮🇷 Iran is accepting bitcoin for transit toll payments — Financial Times

@johnennis It has always been this way for me. AI is just supercharging my largely lone intellectual experience.

I think one of the biggest challenges when it comes to going hard into using AI is loneliness I am learning all these awesome things and becoming super capable But the set of people that I can really talk to about it is very small Is anyone else having this experience?
