I didn't choose the dollar. I didn't choose the euro. I didn't choose the pound. I didn't choose the yen. I didn't choose the ruble. I didn't choose fractional reserve banking. I didn't choose central banks. I didn't choose quantitative easing. I choose Bitcoin.

Carving the Block and the Blockchain. Long term inscriptions in Stones.

"Proof of Keys" by @cryptograffiti Used bank deposit box keys and fobs on wood 40 in x 40 in (102 cm x 102 cm) Proof of Keys is composed of 304 used bank deposit box keys and dozens of bank key fobs/rings. "The keys were sourced from bank foreclosures and the fobs were found online and at swap meets. Some of the keys were spray painted and others treated with salt, vinegar and hydrogen peroxide to enhance their rust and patina. To form the ₿, many of the keys were cut with a scroll saw, tin snips and a grinder."

Artist Feature ⚡️ @BVBTC "More specifically, I am a stone sculptor—slate, marble, limestone, and most recently, a striking orange honeycomb calcite that almost glows from within. These materials speak to me, not just because they’re beautiful, but because they’re patient. They demand effort. They don’t bend easily. You can’t rush stone. You have to earn it. And to me, that’s what Bitcoin is about too."

It's time to organize most of my home miners running the lottery. Going to make it something like what @BVBTC thought of back in the day. I'm going to make it look like a scratch off game. Will mount it on the wall, make it fancy and enjoy. The Bitcoin Block Lotto!

"Everything there is" by @BVBTC "This is my largest sculpture to date. It is visual representation of the idea or meme created by Knut Svanholm- that the potential of Bitcoin can be understood as "Everything divided by 21 Million."  To delve deeper into this idea, I highly suggest reading Knut's book." Materials: Colorado Yule marble, Carrara marble, reclaimed slate and 24k gold leaf #Bitcoinart

@BitcoinOllie @DocumentingBTC @PresidioBitcoin 👋

@DocumentingBTC @PresidioBitcoin @BVBTC Hmm, that looks familiar, Brekkie. 🔥🧡

This marble statue is on display in @PresidioBitcoin, a newly opened co-working space for bitcoin entrepreneurs and developers located at California’s iconic San Francisco Bay Area. There’s a view of the Golden Gate Bridge through the windows.

An everyday reminder at Presidio Bitcoin: Infinity / 21 Million Thank you to @bjackson2718 for sharing this beauty! Titled work by @BVBTC: "Everything There Is"

Honored to see this sculpture of mine in such a prominent place at Presidio.🙏

"Bitcoin ₿ in Orange Calcite (2025)" by @BVBTC "This recent commission for a private client was my largest sculpture to date. Shaping and polishing entirely by hand, I turned a monumental 1014 pound block of orange honeycomb calcite into a lasting testament to the majesty and importance of Bitcoin."

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off. A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC. A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption. Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited. Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped. Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure. We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection. Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm. This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare. Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.
