@RBASHAGGER 🤣🤣 .. incentives drive outcomes

@MDBitcoin Price = legitimacy in many people's eyes. Only those who have done the work still understand bitcoin after a major price pullback .. it is known.

I've come to realize, The highest-conviction holders usually weren’t convinced by a pitch. They hit a moment where the old system stopped making sense. Bitcoin is rarely adopted through persuasion. It is adopted through necessity. A person has to experience the problem before the solution has weight. Until then, it sounds like a trade. After that, it looks like an exit.

I stopped trying to orange-pill my friends and family. Now I just let them come to me when they’re ready to buy or actually learn. The last few cycles taught me one thing you really can’t force adoption. People find Bitcoin when they’re ready. Anyone else in the same boat?

@lungdoge The glass is half full.

I've had a few birthdays by now but let me tell you, this one ranks as one of the least happy.

@pete_rizzo_ Australia probably doesnt count as a major nation, it continues to pretend bitcoin doesnt exist

🚨 Vires in Numeris 🚨 This is a timely reminder that there is a resistance. Australians buying Bitcoin, and businesses working on Bitcoin products and services are fed up with the dismissive behaviour of banks who don’t want to be held accountable for their bad decisions. There are at least three things you can do to be take action, and to heard:

In case anyone needed a refresher on one of the reasons behind 'why bitcoin'

Was a great event with an equally great location and attendees, thanks to the organizers!

@JoshMandell6 🎯

I know plenty of Bitcoiners who used to be into crypto, but not a single crypto fan who used to be a Bitcoiner.

Its easier to see it every day

@puppyeh1 This is classic 'atlas shrugged' .. nothing new under the sun.

Literally the only people defending this heinous budget are the takers. Anyone who’s actually a net payer into the system; anyone who’s built, or trying to build something in this country, sees it for what it is - massive government overreach and yet more confiscatory policy to fund an ever encroaching handout state. See you all in Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬

@gerovich Well done Simon, much better than silence. Keep up the great work.

There is a limited universe of listed preferred shares in Japan today. Upon listing, our preferred would be only the seventh in the market, and the first perpetual preferred. We view this as a meaningful contribution to the development of Japan's capital markets, but it is also why the path to listing is necessarily deliberate. In the Japanese market, dividends on preferred shares are expected to be supported by sustainable cash flows generated from underlying operations. The listing review accordingly assesses dividend-paying capacity based on projected financial performance over a multi-year period, including scenarios across different market environments. Metaplanet already has a six-quarter track record in its Bitcoin Income Generation Business, and we believe it is important to continue demonstrating that the business can generate stable, recurring cash flows across both strong and weak Bitcoin market conditions. We are also continuing to articulate the scalability and long-term viability of our related operating businesses that support this cash flow profile. A second consideration is dividend operations. Listed companies in Japan have historically paid dividends once or twice per year. The structure we are designing contemplates more frequent distributions, including monthly dividends. Implementing this requires careful work on record-date procedures, shareholder identification, dividend calculation, and recurring shareholder notice operations. We are working closely with our partners to build and modernize this infrastructure in a manner consistent with Japanese regulatory and market practice. The process has taken longer than we initially anticipated, and we appreciate that this has created uncertainty. We are deliberate about this work because Japan today is one of the most yield-starved major capital markets in the world, and we believe a preferred equity product supported by credible operating cash flows, robust operational infrastructure, and a long-term growth strategy can meaningfully address that need. We are deeply committed to bringing this product to market, and to doing so in a form that earns the long-term trust of investors and market participants.

@gerovich Great work, looking forward to how the bitcoin bull will treat the company. Mars also, if approval is ever provided.

@hostis_black This, along with torrent technology enabled me to understand that 'they' will never be able to shut down bitcoin

The largest open library in human history, Anna's Archive, has been ordered to pay Spotify and the three largest record labels on the world $322 million. The defendant has not appeared in court and is not going to. The site is still up with two backup domains standing by and there's nothing the censors can do. Anna's Archive currently holds 63 million books, 95 million academic papers, and 1.1 petabytes of mirrored torrents. It is free. It is searchable. It is run by a pseudonymous person nobody has identified after four long years of searching. In the four months since the music industry filed the first of three coordinated lawsuits, the library has lost six domain names and added two million books to the catalogue. The cartel is suing it faster every month, and it is growing faster every month. In December, Spotify and the major labels filed. In January, OCLC, the company that runs WorldCat, won a default judgment of its own. On March 6th, thirteen of the largest book publishers in the United States, including HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, Elsevier, Wiley, and McGraw Hill, filed a third lawsuit in the same federal court. The publishers' complaint runs to seventy-four pages. They call Anna's Archive a "brazen pirate operation." They call it "an illegal supplier of stolen content to the AI industry." The same publishers are simultaneously suing Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, and NVIDIA for training their models on the same corpus the publishers want Anna to destroy. The cartel argues, in two parallel federal courts, that the corpus cannot be used by anyone. Not the pirate who built it. Not the AI company that downloaded from it. Not the graduate student who pulls a paywalled paper from it at two in the morning. Anna did not respond to any of the three complaints. Anna has never responded to any complaint. Anna is a name on a blog and a public key on a server and a person, or maybe several people, in a jurisdiction nobody has identified after four years of searching. The judgment is uncollectable. The permanent injunction binds Cloudflare, Public Interest Registry, Njalla, the Switch Foundation, Tucows, and nine other named intermediaries. The Greenland registry is not on the list. The Greenland registry has not complied. The site currently lives at .gl, with .pk and .gd standing by. The corpus has always moved faster than the censor. The censor has always called the corpus piracy. The corpus has always survived the censor by becoming the readers themselves. The publishers' lawsuit cannot reach the torrents. The torrents are already seeded across continents and IPFS nodes and personal NAS drives owned by people the publishers will never find. The default judgment is paper. The corpus is everywhere. The cartel will win every lawsuit but they will lose the war. The publisher who walks into court next month with a fresh filing will be filing against a defendant who has, in the time since the last filing was sealed, mirrored another half million books to another seven hundred volunteers in another forty countries. There is no defendant to find. There is only the next upload. It is already seeding.
