Your bank can freeze your account in 3 seconds. Your Bitcoin wallet can’t be touched by anyone on Earth. That’s freedom.

@BTCDontCare Yes I did know that!

Bitcoin once created 184B coins in one block. In 2010, an integer overflow bug blew past the 21M cap. Satoshi Nakamoto and early devs caught it fast, patched the code, and the network reorganized to erase the invalid coins. The only rollback in Bitcoin’s history.

Did you know?
In 2010, a bug briefly created 184 billion BTC in one block.
Satoshi Nakamoto and developers fixed it within five hours via a soft fork.
It remains the only major inflation bug in #Bitcoin history.
The 21M cap still stands.

Great documentary on how the government took Joby Weeks’ freedom for doing nothing wrong.
He ran a Bitcoin club where he ran Bitcoin miners and distributed the earnings to the club members in the early days of Bitcoin.
He has been on house arrest for 6 years without a trial or conviction.
You don’t hate the government enough!

“This is the most insane law-fare case we’ve ever been assigned!” — Mikki Willis If you’re concerned about your financial future, stop what you’re doing and watch my latest 24-minute documentary. With the dollar weakening, taxes rising, and AI accelerating at light speed, many Americans are feeling increasingly vulnerable. Innovations such as cryptocurrency serve as alternatives to a financial system that is broken and corrupt. Early Bitcoin pioneers were targeted by government factions for attempting to carve sustainable independent monetary pathways. Among those is Bitcoin mining legend Joby Weeks, who has spent the past six years on house arrest—not only forbidden from getting fresh air, but also, by court order, barred from using a cell phone, a computer, or even touching a TV remote. Authorities accused him of running a $700 million Ponzi scheme—an allegation he and his supporters strongly deny, noting that participants were properly compensated until assets were seized. In the words of Joby weeks- “If you break free from the Matrix you’re not that much of a threat. They’ll probably just let you slide. But the second you start freeing millions of slaves, they don’t like that.” Joby maintains he was working to provide solutions to a serious problem our nation will soon be forced to confront. But this story is about more than just Joby Weeks. It raises questions about how innovators are treated when their ideas challenge entrenched systems. Joby was made an example of by forces that benefit from keeping Americans dependent and disempowered. To free Joby is to unleash a generation of free thinkers whose innovations aim to help us move beyond an outdated and unsustainable financial model. Do your part. Step up. Speak out. Share this documentary as if your financial future depends on it—because it just might. TAKE 30 SECONDS TO SIGN THE PETITION AT: FreeJobydotcom

It’s a saying that Bitcoiners say because nodes verify the transactions via cryptography.
Bitcoin developers are humans and you can’t really verify any of them fully so the best is to default to don’t trust unless you can verify them yourself.
How do you do that? Idk maybe meet them. Learn their background. Research who there are.
If you do that you can trust them more but I would say it would be a % of trust not 100% trust like the cryptographically verified blocks in the Bitcoin blockchain are.

@DocumentingBTC @Robben4days I’m impressed by the commitment.

We’ve come too far to go back to regulatory uncertainty.
Digital assets are the future, and it’s time America gives them the environment they need to thrive.

@TopSkeet I had $3,200 worth at $.002 and sold before it went up 😢

Back in 2021 I was buying XRP, ADA, & XLM on Uphold 😂
Oh how times have changed.
Now I’m just BTC ONLY!
English
@bariksis For realz! In 2021 I think I recall it was one of the only exchanges trading XRP
English
@AnHonestNode The real crime is using Uphold. That exchange was and probably still is CRIMINAL. The spreads on that exchange was absolutely horrendous.
BTC Price: $65,000
Buy BTC: $68,000
Sell BTC: $62,000
LIKE WHAT!?

Idk man, most people I come across $100k would for sure change their lives.
Then when you’re thinking about how all the people in the entire world live, $100k would for sure change a huge portion of people’s lives.
Even the simple fact that $100k could pay off some people’s debt would be life changing for them.
Theres so many examples I could come up with.
That could be a down payment on a house for someone and change their lives as they could be homeowners.
That could help pay for someone’s health care needs to get them in a better spot health wise.
That could pull a family out of the ghetto if they’re living in a super dangerous area

@The_Money_Buddy I mean it is $100,000 when Bitcoin hits a million. That is a lot of money but life changing no.

Owning 0.1 Bitcoin is a good start but it won’t change your life.

Being a creator for social media companies has always been super risky long term.
They can axe you at any time for any reason. Fair or not.
This is why even huge creators like Mr. Beast ventured off and started other businesses with their brand identity (Chocolate candy)
Gary Vee has been preaching for years to not be reliant on 1 platform.
You still have your account id suggest doing deep research with AI and figure out other ways you can monetize your following without the X overloads dictating if you get paid or not.
At least you still have your Bitcoin, you’ll be well off when it hits $1 million.
Wishing you the best going forward broski.

*Read THIS before you read the next dumbass community note*
When I posted my last post, it was a last resort. I truly had no idea and no prior knowledge of anything I was doing wrong. I spent an hour weeding through my posts thinking I made an insensitive meme. I deleted a ton of posts, I thought X went soft. Thank God that wasn't the case. After my first appeal was denied, I decided to post publicly as I figured someone could help since I didn't have a single clue on what went wrong. Almost immediately @nikitabier responds with a snarky response attempting to call me out. The problem is apparently me having 3 X accounts and I've been "cross promoting". This is where I have a problem.. If cross promoting is re-sharing posts to my old newsletter account, I guess I'm guilty. BUT- it seems important to mention, I already had other accounts when I first was monetized. Why would I have been approved for the program from the start if this was ever going to be an issue? Although he wanted to call out the accounts, notice how he didn't respond when I immediately added up the follower count.
This is the last thing I thought would've been a problem. The accounts have been deactivated in an attempt to honestly appeal after Grok suggested that this was the best way to move forward. I created a number of accounts on X over the years when I had different ideas relating to Bitcoin. I created a charity Bitcoin account and a Bitcoin account for healthcare workers, both of those ultimately being unsuccessful. I had a newsletter account promoting our newsletter that was successful but eventually we decided to take a step back from them. I took 9 months off of my job with no pay to grow my X account from 10k followers to 100k followers in 2023. I saw the value in X before monetization was even an option. I handmade memes literally using the drawing tool to edit photos. If you don't believe me, look at my old posts on instagram. Almost immediately after posting content, it would get reshared with no credit to me. That was just the way it was. I busted my ass while the algorithm has changed nonstop. X has always been sharing media and adding your own spin. I don't even need to comment on "stealing content". How is resharing a post through the link X provides, stealing? If that's the case then, wow, I've been robbed for years straight. Quote sharing is an option for a reason.
I'm not posting this for sympathy. I don't care if you like my posts are not, that's not the issue here. That's not what X is for. You don't get to demonetize someone because their content isn't your favorite. You're not that special, sorry. I might not be offering the most intellectual content with every post, I have always had a lighthearted spin on current events that opens conversation on my page. Isn't that what this app is for? Entertainment and information?
Is there not a single person who works for @X with an ounce of integrity that can hear me out? I'm being punished to the highest degree for something I didn't even know was wrong until a few hours ago. If I knew I was doing something wrong, I wouldn't be surprised or upset. But I had no idea. Why does this app have the option to link multiple accounts and retweet from them if this isn't allowed? I also don't think any sane person would consider reposting tweets MONTHS ago to an account with 250-3,000 followers as engagement farming. How can I farm engagement on followers that overlap between accounts?
I can't help but feel I am not being offered a solution because of the name of my account. If Bitcoin wasn't my niche I don't think we'd be here. Up until this point, I thought the platform was headed in the right direction. I'm all about progress and shifting this platform to become something better, but I don't agree with public mockery when I'm looking to solve this.
And as I've said a million times, "THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!!"

@bariksis @TheBTCTherapist I do think a warning should have occurred.
English
If I was demonetized today, I would keep posting like normal because I make peanuts on here. But if I was making what @TheBTCTherapist was making, I probably would not have the motivation to post again. Though I hope he continues to post because at the end of the day he is a Bitcoiner just like a lot of us here.
It is unfortunate what happened. Even though I did not like a lot of the engagement farming and repetitive content, I do not think he should have lost monetization without at least being given a warning. And as for the promotion of his main account from three other small accounts, I think that is total bullshit, regardless if true or not. Period. Full Stop!
I do wonder if he had been warned before and ignored it. My guess is probably not. The reality is that Bitcoin and crypto accounts are under constant scrutiny on X, and I do not really understand why. It is such a small niche on the platform, yet we are constantly shadow banned, deplatformed, and demonetized.
I hope it works out for him because nobody deserves to lose their livelihood over something so silly 🤷🏾♂️
