Money is made for spending!! 80% of all gift card and debit card purchases made through Cake Pay on @cakewallet are paid in Monero. Not Bitcoin. Not stablecoins. Monero. The users who came over from Paxful and stuck around are actually spending their coins, privately on Amazon cards, @ChipotleTweets, Apple and anything else their hearts desire.

@Polymarket Burn it to the ground.

JUST IN: ABC will reportedly lose tens of millions of dollars if they can't find a way to "salvage" the Bachelorette.

@DefiantLs That is something Epstein would say if he was filmed.

Florida man speaks out: "I am not Jeffrey Epstein" "My video went viral because some dude randomly filmed me while I was driving"

@BernieSanders When will you be giving all your money to people who have less than you?

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

@Saveydro Heat kills all the germs!

Get a load of this panini press in the kitchen at the gas station where I work. It's never been cleaned and stays on 24/7.

@FearedBuck Do they not do a background check before investing in a potential Bachelorette. Hopefully the child will be okay.

ABC has canceled The Bachelorette after their lead was seen in a leaked footage physically attacking her ex-boyfriend and throwing metal chairs at him while her child was present and reportedly the child was struck during the altercation.

Merry Christmas Charlie Spears/@cbspears tried to run a lightning payment demonstration at his local Bitcoin meetup every Christmas for five years straight. Every single year, the wallet he used the year before had either shut down, left the US, or stopped working for reasons nobody could explain. He has since reduced his expectations. Lightning is now his B2B settlement layer. The Christmas party uses cash. Bitcoin Takeover S17E13.

Deafening Silence @cakewallet added Zcash and the official Zcash Twitter account never retweeted the announcement. Not once. Another wallet ships full Orchard support, rotating T-addresses, auto-shielding and Cake Pay integration, and the foundation says nothing. @vikrantnyc noticed. He didn't hide it. We talked about what that silence says about centralization. Bitcoin Takeover S17E06.

@ns123abc A man swopping serial numbers himself, feels like he is not the leader of this heist.

@mymixtapez Those must have been some tasty chicken wings!

Former prison guard may be thrown into the same jail he once guarded after being accused of smuggling chicken wings to inmates. He was charging $20 per drum and $15 per flat. 😳

@Kalshi Unsubstantiated FUD The minute they do that will signal end of days.

JUST IN: 20% chance Costco raises hot dog prices next year

"If you're going to build anything privacy preserving, the switch should be on from the gate. If we keep building blockchains without privacy by default, we're basically saying Satoshi got it right." Ricardo Spagni, aka @fluffypony , lead developer of Monero. He didn't hold back. Neither did we. Bitcoin Takeover S17E8.

@BRICSinfo The Japanese PM's expression says it all😅

🇺🇸🇯🇵 Japanese Reporter: Why didn't you tell us before starting war with Iran? President Trump: "We wanted surprise. " "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"

Are you ready? We are live!

Braiins & the History of Bitcoin Mining with @KristianCsep (Bitcoin Takeover Podcast S17 E14) x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

in 90 minutes we go live 🔥

@JebraFaushay I actually think I would rather buy a fountain in Metaverse.

This luxury bag shop in Turkey demonstrates the beauty of a $1790 Balenciaga pouch. It comes in yellow, is quite versatile, and I believe it’s water proof. I’d be willing to pay ten cents for it, what about you?

There was a time when Bitcoin maximalism meant studying how other systems worked so you could critique them better. Now it means categorically rejecting anything that didn't come from Bitcoin Core, without reading it, understanding it, or being able to articulate why it's wrong. Charlie Spears/ @cbspears called it what it is: not Maximalism. Cultism. Bitcoin Takeover S17E13.

@Tekeee Potatoes and Butter.

Gold is crashing. Silver is crashing. Crypto is crashing. Stocks are crashing. The dollar is crashing. Real talk what should we buy now?

LIVE in 9 Hours. In our next episode, @Vladcostea will be talking to @KristianCsep, CMO of @Braiins, which provides mining pool, management system, custom firmware, hardware, education and more. One of the best ways of securing some non-KYC Bitcoin is to mine. This is definitely an episode you do not want to miss.
