@brunbitty archive.ph/NnRWG "What would it seem like if it did seem like a global, digital, sound, open source, programmable money was monetizing from absolute zero?"

My brother is the smartest person I know. Harvard undergrad. Stanford MBA. Top hedge funds: Goldman, Millennium, Perry Capital. Never drank, never smoked. Ethically untouchable. A real-life monk genius with laser focus. I looked up to him my whole life. Still do. So when he tells me Bitcoin is worthless… it shakes me. He says: ‘There’s nothing unique about it. It’s random code. A joke. It should track inflation. Nothing more.’ (Screenshot below is from him.) And yet… I see something he doesn’t. I feel something he won’t. I’ve watched broken people find purpose. Lonely people find community. Lost people find meaning. We call it Bitcoin. He calls it delusion. And maybe he’s right. Maybe I’m crazy. But if this is madness… …I don’t want to be sane.” (📸: real convo with my brother below.) #bitcoin #savemybro

@BitcoinRachy Can you create a wallet on the device while keeping it completely offline? Can you do it without Ledger Live?

I know a lot of you guys dont trust Ledger, because of their ledger recover service. But if you dont opt into this service, they dont have any access to your keys. I honestly find my ledger flex easy to use and the ledger live software has a great UI.

@DSBatten @FinanceLancelot Is this guy just a Peter Schiff copycat?

@FinanceLancelot Which option are you going to go with?

I've warned you guys again, and again, and again... $112,000 was Bitcoin's top. It will never go any higher. Ever.

@EmmaforWycombe @freddienew Volatility ≠ Risk

@freddienew Thanks for the contradictory advice! Very useful!

Bitcoin is volatile in both directions, but in the two days since @EmmaforWycombe made this statement, the value of the UK government's Bitcoin has increased by c.300 million pounds. We absolutely must have people who understand this asset in charge of it on our behalf.

@DanielPriestley Not sure if you've seen this but, if not, you should. youtu.be/YtFOxNbmD38?si…

No. Here's what's sick... - Telling young people that if they don't have a rich parent they have a 1 in 1000 chance of achieving financial success. - Selling false hope that the government can save you. - Stirring up class divisions with reductive arguments about wealth inequality being the only cause of the changing nature of work and money. - Offering simplistic solutions to complex problems. - Offering solutions that have been tried and failed many times before. - Betting on the collapse of the economy, while simultaneously promoting strategies that collapse economies.

@parman_the I see people around me being frustrated by the rising prices and falling quality of things. They're often complaining of the incompetence or greed of others, and it makes them more negative in general. A subtle effect on the population.

It's not just the fact that fiat money is not sound that's the problem, it's that you're made to accept that it's OK to work for it, while others are legally permitted to counterfeit it... FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! Do you understand the humiliation?

Old mate claims Bitcoin price suppression, but at the same time ignores the tens of thousands of BTC being sold up here every single day. Old mate makes claims without evidence, and then wonders why those with evidence call him out on it. Show me your numbers, verify your claim

The Bank of England and HM Treasury are actively exploring the feasibility of a digital Pound, a potential complement to physical cash in the UK. With growing interest in how this initiative could shape the future of money, we’ve written this blog to provide a clear, factual overview of their progress and timeline 👉 buff.ly/4hwhJKD Here's a very quick summary... 🕒 Timeline: - The design phase (2025–2026) focuses on developing a comprehensive blueprint and conducting technical experiments. - A decision on whether to proceed is expected in 2026, based on the digital Pound’s alignment with financial stability and inclusion goals. - If approved, legislation and infrastructure development could see the digital Pound launched in the late 2020s. 📊 Progress: - Public consultations have gathered input from businesses, academics, and the public. - Key milestones include the Digital Pound Technology Working Paper and experiments like Project Rosalind, in which @quantnetwork, a founding member of the Digital Pound Foundation, played a pivotal role. - Stakeholder forums continue to provide insights on privacy, offline payments, and technology requirements. 🤝 Collaboration: - The Digital Pound Foundation supports the exploration of a digital Pound by fostering dialogue between the public and private sectors, publishing thought leadership, and advocating for an inclusive and innovative approach to digital money. Our blog offers a detailed look at where the digital Pound stands today, the steps that have been taken to evaluate its feasibility, and what lies ahead. From consultations to experiments and stakeholder engagement, this is your opportunity to get up to speed on one of the most significant developments in UK payments.

@SenWarren Get a life, Liz

Howard Lutnick is in deep with crypto company Tether — aka “outlaws’ favorite currency.” Tether financed North Korean nuclear weapons programs and Russian arms companies. Lutnick and his company made millions. I have some questions for him.

@OrangePilledPod @BritishHodl Or better yet, hold them through the inevitable 99% drawdown, and learn the hard way.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is no more. Dead. We have the Strategic Digital Asset Stockpile now. Bitcoin is a Digital Asset. But a Digital Asset is not Bitcoin. Bitcoin is losing the lobbying battle. Twitter is its last hope. The shitcoiners have stormed the White House. Bitcoin will still pump should the recommendation follow through and they acquire more Bitcoin. But anything other than Bitcoin being involved is NOT a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Call it what it is. Bitcoin’s value is being diluted by having it be mixed up with all the shitcoins. The lawyers did a number on Bitcoin tonight. The United States of Shitcoins. Well done suits.

Bitcoin only.

@BITCOIN_OR_HFSP I've just followed you. Would you mind DM'ing about this?

@CarlBMenger Bought my house outright cash, no mortgage, from Bitcoin sales (in the UK). Just had to show a paper trail.

REJECTED: #Bitcoin shunned by financial gatekeepers. UK bank declined #Bitcoin payment for real estate purchase. HFSP

@EU_Commission Thanks for nothing.

It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need. #DigitalEU

@BitBuyer313 Who is John Galt?

Update: My boss's boss (the big man upstairs) just walked down to my control room to let me know that if I don't show up for work on Christmas, they'll have to shut down my casting pit for the shift which will cost the company millions. I looked at him as sympathetically as possible and played him the world's smallest violin 🤏🎻 before telling him that it sounded like a company problem, not my problem. He looked shocked, he's not used to such treatment, most guys brown nose him, I'm typically polite, but I've been in rare form this month and quite frankly idgaf anymore. #Bitcoin could crash today and I still wouldn't care, I'm pushing my boundaries till something breaks, and so far, they're so hurt for good help that they haven't even threatened to fire me yet, I'm kinda bummed tbh. Either way, I'm enjoying the holiday with my family which is why I also informed him that I wouldn't be working Christmas Eve now either. I've never seen him look so flabbergasted 🤣🖕 10 more hrs to go and I'll be off for the holidays on my own fruition. If my salaried bosses can enjoy the holiday with their families, then so can I 🤷‍♂️

There are two types of people in Bitcoin right now:

@PeterSchiff @saylor No one is interested in repaying that debt. They're interested in capital appreciation enabling more debt.

It's wrong for @saylor to compare his leveraged buying of #Bitcoin to investors borrowing money to purchase Manhattan real estate. Real estate generates rents, which can be used to service and repay debt. Bitcoin doesn't generate any income to make interest or principal payments.
