The coin that can be forked is not the eternal coin The chain that can be 51% attacked is not the eternal chain The coin is both real and imaginary As imaginary, it is from origin of the Genesis block As real, it is the mother of 10,000 Merkle trees

Running bitcoin

There is a saying among bitcoiners ... I dare not spend a sat but would rather HODL forever; I dare not cash out but would rather DCA. This is called using bitcoin as a store of value, using one property but not another. There is no greater mistake than not spending bitcoin; for when bitcoin is not spent, there is no room for adoption. Thus when Thier’s and Gresham’s law meet, the need for a medium of exchange will triumph. When two forces are evenly strong, the one with long-term sustainability wins.

Give up trading, renounce shitcoinery, and it will be a hundred times better for everyone! Throw away forks and airdrops and people will do the right thing. Forget about ICOs and tokenomics and there will be no scams. All of these are fiat money behaviors, they are not noble in intent. It is more important to see the opportunity ... to realize Bitcoin’s true purpose for humanity ... to cast off high time preference and temper greedy desire.

Why run a node? Running a node is the only way to know you have bitcoin. - @tdryja @MITBitcoinClub #mitbitcoinexpo

@BTCBap live on @RoxomTV this morning. Most people bail on self-custody because they don't trust themselves with the technical setup, they have too much BTC to risk a mistake, or their family would have no idea how to recover it. Zach walks through how @CasaHODL handles all of that.

@Arminsdev @BitcoinMagazine Thank you Armin!

"The Bitcoin Tao is a compilation of koans that may make little sense to nocoiners, but convey many deep reflections upon the nature of Bitcoin itself" - @lopp

@ts_hodl Super cool Is this on github? Time to cook up a PR to add a Monte Carlo sim view for withdrawals to measure sequence of returns risk

I just launched the FIRE BTC Compass. It's a free tool that shows you exactly where you stand on the path to financial independence — built for people who hold bitcoin. Most FIRE calculators assume 100% stocks and a 4% withdrawal rate. That's broken for bitcoiners. The Compass uses a BTC-adjusted target that accounts for bitcoin's asymmetric upside. If you hold bitcoin, your FIRE number is lower than you think. No account. No tracking. Your data never leaves your browser. Try it: calc.firebtc.io
