At the end of 2023 I met the person who ran GreenpeaceUSA's campaign against Bitcoin. I expected it to be tense. But it wasn't. He told me he'd read almost all of my responses to the posts they'd made on Twitter. "I wish we'd engaged with you and people like you from the outset," he said. Two months later he left Greenpeace. A few months after that they ended the campaign entirely. It was the most well-funded, yet the worst result in their history. I keep coming back to that phrase. "People like you." Not me, but a whole group: Troy Cross, Margot Paez, Elliot David, Susie Violet Ward and many others. We were working independently, with no budget and no coordination. We just shared data and conviction. It is a great story of a decentralized response beating a multi-million dollar centralized campaign, by a combination of having the truth behind us, and expressing that truth in such a way that reasonable people could see. That recipe has two parts, and it's like giving a glass of water to someone dying of thirst. The first part is truth, there must be water in the glass. The second part is the container, how you hold and deliver that truth matters just as much. You can have perfect data and still lose people if the glass doesn't reach them, or if the energy behind it makes them flinch instead of drink. We won because the data was right AND because enough people delivered it with the kind of energy that made opponents think rather than react. And this recipe, we can use again and again throughout Bitcoin's adoption journey, and each time a Bitcoiner builds a new Bitcoin project that involves outreach to non-Bitcoiners.

Adam, there isn’t a ‘patch’. #1 - you’re being fooled by how films are made. They knew very early on about Jameson’s marathon theory. Do you really think an investigative org that accomplished, just stumbled on such a widely known figure and speech at the very last minute? Speaking as a writer/producer from LA, you plan ahead in outlining with your research, outline and ‘hooks’ how to structure your narrative in the edit. The Jameson ‘revelation’ comes exactly at the point we call ‘the all is lost’ moment. That is intentional filmmaking - it adds suspense and then another ‘reveal’. It keeps an audience hooked and creates a climactic ending - even documentaries need them. This doc was not shot and edited in chronological order - nothing is in our business. #2 - they reiterated both Len’s and Hal’s online activity at the end. They synced with Satoshi’s activity to a high enough degree.

@WillFPrice @TheRealPlanC the documentary ruled out very early anyone in europe given the time of forum posts. and len was ... in europe, at KU Leuven, Belgium doing a PhD from 2004 until he died in 2011. so how does it make sense for that last minute "patch" if Len was doing the writing.

For anyone who watched the "Finding Satoshi" movie. It was the best-made documentary and most credible theory to date on the subject. I watched it twice. My thoughts: Opsec and anonymity infrastructure - Len 95% Wrote the Bitcoin code - Finney 90% Writing of the whitepaper - Len 90% Ran early network and mining - Finney 90% Public "Satoshi" voice - Len 90% The ideas in the whitepaper - Jointly designed Economic mechanism design - Jointly designed Disappearance decision - Jointly designed Decided not to move the coins - Jointly, both clearly not money-driven We are ALL Satoshi. These two men were GREAT men and legends.

Exactly. Nothing contradictory and all explained. Adam is also not understanding how films and even documentaries are edited to add intrigue and suspense. They knew about Jameson’s marathon connection before it was revealed ‘late’. C’mon guys - speaking as a filmmaker, documentaries need to entertain as well. They did a great job on facts and entertainment. Mystery solved.

Len acting as Satoshi while Hal runs a race is not contradictory. OP’s division of labor looks reasonably accurate. Len’s active hours were public record and present no conflict — he also knew his partner was in Pacific. Weird that you are making up such irrelevancies to debate. Those “late bumps” were integrated literally years ago at the moment described.

@rufen78 @MadelnCanada A little sarcasm highlights what we all know - but you know that too...

@DJ69_Port @MadelnCanada Pretty much none of those are true. But you already know that...

Egypt is known for the Nile Japan is known for the Samurai Italy is known for Pasta What is Canada known for?🇨🇦

Some choice quotes: "The kind of quantum computer that could threaten crypto would need to be orders of magnitude more powerful than anything available today. Expert timelines point to at least a decade as likely, but cannot rule out a significantly shorter timeline. That said, upgrading the security of an entire decentralized ecosystem, blockchains, wallets, exchanges, hardware, takes years. The board's view is straightforward: the time to start preparing is now, not when it's urgent." "The blockchain community – including blockchains themselves, wallet providers, exchanges and custodians, and so on – should prepare for a quantum future earlier rather than later. Waiting for it to be urgent is not a good idea." "We are not confident that cryptographically relevant QCs (CRQC) will not exist by 2035 or later, as recent research raises the possibility that the timeline may be shorter." "The discussion regarding quantum computing often revolves around the timeline. However, we believe that this debate on timelines is largely irrelevant (beyond that it is not imminent) since migrations should be planned for and prepared now." "We have high confidence that a large-scale, fault tolerant quantum computer (FTQC) will eventually be built. As such, blockchains and the wider cryptographic ecosystem must prepare for this eventuality." Keep in mind Coinbase certainly does not benefit from undertaking a massive infrastructural rebuild to accomodate PQC but they see it as necessary. So all the people saying "follow the incentives" have no argument here. Moreover, this is an independent board consisting of a bunch of academics, so you can't even argue that it's motivated reasoning by quantum hypesters.

What will be the missing number? 🤔 Difficulty - Hardest 😉

@mcuban They cracked it. Definitive answer.

It's actually a really good doc. Entertaining and definitely makes you think !

@nic_carter Same here. The definitive film on the topic. Can put that to rest now.

I had the chance to watch an advance screener of Finding Satoshi which is out today and I think it's the best and most thoughtful - and respectful - treatment of the issue so far. Not affiliated, just a fan of the project. Highly recommend findingsatoshi.com

@PrestonPysh Thanks for all your years of work and education Preston. Well done. Setting a great example all around.

A personal note.  After years of public discussion/work: the podcast, social media, venture capital, everything — I'm stepping back to focus on my family. My kids are growing fast.  My wife deserves the best of me.  To everyone who listened, read, grew, and built alongside me — thank you. What a blessing you all have been!

@mcof92 @HodlMagoo Um… yeah, ok.

The most likely low for BTC is October 2026, based on the 4 year cycle. Under some circumstances it could happen as early as May. BTC does not have a monopoly on the four-year cycle. You can that the S&P 500 has gone through many periods where it bottoms approximately every 4 years. Major lows tends to occur in early Q4, but in some cases it occasionally happens in May. October would be favored if we get multiple week-to-month long countertrend rallies that delay things. May would be favored if the countertrend rallies just last a few days to a couple weeks, and deeper drawdowns occur sooner. I favor October over May for now, but as an investor we have to be aware that markets can always evolve in ways we do not expect.

I've spent decades in Hollywood, and this is an exceptionally well-researched and produced documentary - the definitive 'Who is Satoshi' film. We can put this mystery to bed now. Well done @findingsatoshi_

RBC just put a number on the last decade. It’s brutal. 🧵 1/ Between 2015 and 2024, over $1 TRILLION in investment left Canada. RBC calls it the largest capital exodus in Canadian history. 2/ For every $1 of foreign investment flowing in, $2 flowed out. 3/ Canada now ranks dead last in the G7 for investment in machinery, equipment and IP — roughly half the US level. 4/ The result: stalled productivity, stagnating living standards, a decade-long capital recession. 5/ The money exists — Canadian corporates are sitting on $1T+ in cash. It just isn’t being deployed here. Source: RBC, ‘Capital Gains’ (April 2026)

@adamislucky Canada’s economy grew at its fastest rate ever in the mid 20th century thanks in part to progressive taxation, where the marginal tax rate was far higher on wealthy individuals than it is now. Go read a book instead of typing all of this out on Twitter.

@RealXavier011 Even though this probably isn’t Europe, this so perfectly showcases the dumbass construction of every 20th century home I’ve seen in Portugal, the last five years. It’s mind boggling…

Bro you must be kidding me 😳

@awkwardgoogle Beautiful packaging witchcraft. Sadly, that form-fitting foam is synthetic plastic—not biodegradable & rarely recycled by consumers. Most ends up in landfill for hundreds of years. Great protection, crappy environmental footprint.

Packaged with care

Tell me where in Canada you’re from without telling me…

Yeah, it would be a precedent that would be exploited by some future administration. The whole protocol is in jeopardy under that slippery slope. If only 10% is up for grabs - honestly, who cares? Sunken treasure. Meh.

Are you effing kidding me?! They’re making Craig Wright the victim? OMG - he’s secretly funding this isn’t he? @mccormack_show @nic_carter

@ChrisDunnTV @LivingVehicle It’s a great company. They’re clearly not on X anymore but go check out their website. Very cutting edge. Visited them several years ago in Santa Barbara.

@DJ69_Port @LivingVehicle wow, that looks bad ass!

We spend half the year living off-grid in an Airstream… And still build wealth trading & investing This is what our setup actually looks like 👇
