Best bitcoin strategy: Buy more bitcoin

Dear Magatards, There is no 5D chess. Trump just does what Miriam Adelson tells him to do. That's all there is to him. Stop coping.

Square just omega-candled the merchant bitcoin adoption chart.

Threatening to kill millions by destroying their critical infrastructure isn't a genius negotiation tactic. It's desperate, counterproductive crime & it only sounds normal to illiterates whose understanding of morality & war comes entirely from Israeli hasbara on Fox News.

Looks like there was a bug on targeting for these push notifications - getting fixed now. Apologies for the trouble, and thank you for raising it. As for the suitability - prediction markets are popular for some customers but not all, and we certainly don’t want to force it on anyone (notification spam is one form of that!) I think the solution is for customers to be able to adjust the experience to their preferences vs a blanket ban of any specific category. Part of the everything exchange is having everything available people might want to trade (that is legal, and meets cyber security standards, etc) - but at any given time each individual customer may only want to trade 1% of what’s available or less and that is fine. Not everyone likes every asset class. The alternative is for us to apply a heavy hand and dictate what customers should or should not trade and I don’t think people want that either - too paternalistic, and anti free market. It’s your money. So we’ll need to find the right balance of not pushing things on people they don’t want, but making sure whatever they want is there. Clearly we missed the mark in this case - we’ll take it as an opportunity to improve.

I guess the bright side to leveraged sports betting is that idiots will run out of money quicker and these platforms will die.

@EricBalchunas ETFs are less friction and maybe less risk than exchanges but at least on an exchange you can withdraw to self custody.

@Angelajordison Have you met poker players?

These are the kind of antics we are going to need now that we are back on ESPN. Let’s not fuck this up by being boring.

We now have official EEP data that shows Bitcoin mining has nearly doubled Ethiopia’s annual net transmission grid expansion rate Even more importantly, it has catalyzed an unprecedented level of new construction activity never before reported by EEP at this scale. Consider this context: Delivery of power to rural Africa, alongside combatting youth unemployment is one of the two biggest political changes in sub-Saharan Africa. Bitcoin mining has just demonstrated it can be a viable solution for one of them Let's dig in. Ethiopia made $220 million from Bitcoin mining in 2024/25 which is expecting to increase to $312 million this year (source: capitalethiopia.com/2025/11/02/eep… This electricity would otherwise have been wasted Why? Although Ethiopia has the capacity to generate 6 Gigawatts from the new dam, Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) hasn't yet built the transmission lines to supply all that electricity generated. So, in the meantime the dam authorities sell electricity to Bitcoin mining companies. These electricity sales to Bitcoin miners were 67% of EEP's total Foreign Exchange revenue last year, vastly improving profitability. source: birrmetrics.com/ethiopia-elect… What do they do with that unexpected extra profit? EEP has stated repeatedly that the revenue from Bitcoin mining is used to support "infrastructure expansion" and "rural electrification" source: eep.com.et/?article=ethio… News channel Aljazeera recently confirmed "Ethiopia doesn't yet have the distribution network to take electricity to 1/2 the population...The idea is the fees paid by the Bitcoin miners will go towards funding the expansion of the grid." source: youtube.com/watch?v=mqie7b… Significantly, EEP's own data shows revenue from Bitcoin mining supported EEP's 2024/25 fiscal year * 28,571 km new power lines built * 8,700 substation bays installed Source: birrmetrics.com/ethiopia-elect… Bitcoin mining revenue has already almost doubled EEP's rate of energized network buildout from ~358 km/year average to +662 km last year. But more important is what is in the imminent pipeline: the 28,571 km of new power lines is larger than the entire size of their grid! source: eep.com.et/wp-content/upl… Let's be clear, we cannot say that "Ethiopia build more than their whole grid in a year" because not all of that new capacity has been fully energized yet, so that would be an apples-for-oranges comparison. But it is still an unprecedented rate of new construction. The good news is that the bulk of this infrastructure constructed but not yet fully energized is not “waiting years”, it is in active commissioning right now and is expected to come online progressively over the next 12–18 months. Source: Birr Metrics (EEP’s 2025/26 budget announcement) birrmetrics.com/electric-power… When that new network is fully energized, the increase in the speed of energized network buildout will not be 2x. It will be substantially higher, potentially more than 10-20x the historical average as the backlog comes online. Read that last sentence again. A forecast 10-20x faster buildout of Ethiopia's electrical grid. Rural electrification of Sub-Saharan Africa is a key strategic focus for over 20 global institutions and development banks, including the UN, World Bank, IRENA, African Development Bank, and Rockefeller Foundation. It is even explicitly one of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7), where Target 7.1 calls for “universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services by 2030.” Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 85% of the world’s people still without electricity (mostly in rural areas), making this one of the biggest global priorities. How Ethiopia is achieving this should be one of the biggest stories at the UN right now. Far from “taking renewable power away” from people, Bitcoin mining’s use of otherwise wasted renewable energy is catalyzing the accelerated delivery of electricity to rural Africa. Bitcoin mining has created a pragmatic solution to an issue that has plagued powerful global institutions for decades. If you are still gaslighting Bitcoin mining in 2026 (based on early studies, now been widely debunked), you are no longer just uninformed. You are perpetuating harmful myths that slows down power delivery to people living without electricity.

The old two parties are two wings of the same bird

This is what people mean when say “unethical” hoops. This is simply not Basketball. Try to stick your arm underneath someone else’s to make it look like you got hooked. No real effort to try and get by them. Call it crafty if you want, I say it’s lazy.

@BTCSkywalker21 @TFTC21 Good thought but that requires work

@TFTC21 Great write up but you guys should find a way to make this styling a little more “TFTC stylized” than just generic ai output . It reads like any other generic Claude output. You should have a formalized and personalized style that makes it ever so slightly different

Five years ago, telling your mortgage lender you owned Bitcoin was a red flag. Today, Fannie Mae is backing home loans where Bitcoin IS the down payment. That's not a crypto startup. That's the U.S. government's mortgage backbone treating Bitcoin as collateral with the same protections as a conventional 30-year home loan. Here's what changed: 41% of American families fail to buy a home because they can't scrape together the cash for a down payment. Not because they're broke. Because their wealth is locked in assets they'd have to sell, triggering capital gains, paperwork, and a tax bill that eats the down payment itself. Bitcoiners know this trap better than anyone. You're sitting on life-changing wealth and the system punishes you for trying to use it. This product eliminates that wall. Pledge BTC or USDC as collateral, receive a loan for the down payment, keep your Bitcoin, pay no capital gains. Rate is 0.5 to 1.5 points above standard depending on borrower profile. The key detail: no margin calls. No collateral top-ups. If Bitcoin drops in value, the mortgage terms remain unchanged and no additional collateral is required. Market movements alone never trigger liquidation. The only liquidation risk is a 60-day payment delinquency, same as any conventional mortgage. This is how billionaires have operated for decades. Borrow against assets, never sell. Private banks built empires on this model for the ultra-wealthy. The difference now: it's available to anyone holding Bitcoin on an exchange. The real story isn't the product. It's what Fannie Mae's involvement signals. A government-sponsored enterprise formally underwriting Bitcoin-collateralized debt means the U.S. housing system no longer views Bitcoin as speculation. It views it as wealth. That's a classification shift that took 15 years to happen and will be impossible to reverse.

Burn it all down

Own more Bitcoin this month, than last month and ignore the price. Learn how to self custody and run a node. Free yourself from price speculation.

This one should have come with a warning, since I just sprayed my coffee all over my laptop:

@AvgJoesCrypto Is the TCG that leverages tokenization and NFTs in the room with us right now?

Kinda crazy to me that everyone is writing off NFTs & blockchain gaming when arguably the biggest consumer trend over the past year has been the rise of Pokémon and other TCGs. Especially when TCGs are the functional equivalent of “offchain” NFTs. It wouldn’t surprise me if somebody is finally able to crack this nutshell and deliver a new TCG game that leverages tokenization and NFTs to deliver a better gaming/collecting experience.

@AvgJoesCrypto Because it’s a Shitcoin casino?

I really have no idea why Coinbase is leaning so hard into this gambling pivot

This was sick for the thirty minutes it worked while I had tokens. ($20/mo sub)

You have to stop assuming he’s trying to do a good job. The current administration is not interested in governing. They are only worried about extracting as much wealth as possible and insulating themselves from the consequences
