RIP Ugly Old Goat. A father, a friend, a mentor. A man of God, a man of Bitcoin. A writer, a trader an analyst. His blog posts are deeply insightful into the nature of markets and trading, and his incredible life journey, his many lives lived are worthy of a biography and movie. Rest in God's grace my friend. @UglyOldGoat1

@JuanSGalt I'm going to miss him! He was a good friend and mentor to me. Sad to hear he's no longer with us, but happy to know I'll see him on the other side in Glory. RIP Conrad!

⚠️ BIP-361 logic: steal people’s money before someone else can. It’s never been more crucial that you protect yourself from bad actors like Jameson Lopp and use Bitcoin as permissionless money via your own sovereign node. 🧡

Satoshi's coins should not be frozen. Let them be quantum mined. The network will adjust. Proof of work.

Disgraceful. Forcing Satoshi to choose between proving he is alive before he may want to or lose access... That's a ploy to get him to betray his identity. Because of what? Fear a thief may cause a dip in price? Eject these fools.

Anyone that attempts to restrict Satoshi's ability to spend his coins freely, or worse to outright confiscate his coins, is my enemy. I'm willing to give some of them the benefit of the doubt that may merely be retarded and/or fags. Have fun with your shitcoin 🖕

Covid wiped out an entire generation of intellectuals, not in mortality but in reputation. Supposedly fearless scholars succumbed to the transparently absurd propaganda and became regime apologists. Now they all look ridiculous, with book sales dead and followers dispersed.

bitcoin’s lightning network also works exactly like this when making a payment

Skyrocketed miscarriages and stillborns in 2021 It will take 50-100 years for the medical industry to earn back trust.

NACK. Forcing migration at the consensus layer is too heavy-handed, especially given the likely tradeoffs in cost, efficiency, and usability of PQ schemes. Bitcoin has historically relied on voluntary adoption, wallet defaults, and fee incentives rather than protocol-level coercion. That approach should be exhausted first. The quantum threat remains theoretical, and the economics of such an attack make it unlikely to target the vast majority of users, particularly smaller UTXOs that would fall below the cost threshold of exploitation. Introducing hard deadlines and invalidating legacy signatures risks unnecessary disruption and sets a precedent for protocol-enforced fund restrictions that Bitcoin has largely avoided.

We lost Aaron Ingalls (@BTCAaron) this weekend to brain cancer. He was a family man with three young children. While he was battling cancer Aaron and his wife started The Aaron Ingalls Foundation to help other families fighting the same battle. We pray for his soul and his family as they mourn his loss and celebrate his life. Cherish the time you have with loved ones. Rest easy, Double A.

Quite possibly the most important thing we’ve read this year. “The law compels stablecoin issuers to freeze sanctioned transactions. Bitcoin has no issuer to compel. Iran chose that rail deliberately.” 🧡

Iran is collecting its Hormuz toll in bitcoin. Good reasons for holding USD get fewer every day.

The satellites don't lie. The planet is greener today than it was 20 years ago. This was confirmed by the latest satellite studies of shifts in vegetation by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). The greening trend is continuing and widening, and 70% is attributed to higher CO2. We're seeing new greening hotspots in India, China and even the Arctic as growing seasons lengthen. If CO2 is 'pollution' why is Earth's total leaf area expanding? The new green abundance is planet wide. Earth's natural systems are managing the planet far better than by any UN bureaucracy. Atmospheric CO2 is not the 'climate control knob they claim. It's a trace gas at only 0.042% of the air. The gradual increase in CO2 over many decades has increased global greening. It's time to recognise that CO2 is plant food, not a toxic byproduct.

@w_s_bitcoin @giacomozucco And don’t share or publish your Xpub.

There’s virtually no reason to update to any new PQ signature schemes while quantum computers still can’t crack a 7-bit private key. The larger risk is in the new signature schemes having backdoors. Avoid address reuse and keep your UTXOs smaller than 1 BTC and you’ll be fine.

"I actually did this kind of backwards. I had to write all the code before I could convince myself that I could solve every problem, then I wrote the paper." ~ Satoshi on the Cryptography mailing list Read that again! Satoshi didn't: ❌ Write a white paper and promise to build it ❌ Raise money to fund development ❌ Release a roadmap with future milestones ❌ Launch a token before the product He: ✅ Wrote the entire code ✅ Solved every problem ✅ Proved it worked to himself ✅ THEN wrote the white paper "I think I will be able to release the code sooner than I could write a detailed spec," he added. Bitcoin launched with working code, not promises. Compare to every other project: - 50-page white papers - "Coming soon" roadmaps - Token sales before product - "Trust us, we'll build it" Satoshi Nakamoto: "Here's the code. It works. Now let me explain it." That's the difference between builders and marketers.

Money was literally invented to not have to know your customer. It was created to eliminate the layer of trust needed between the exchange of goods. KYC is antithetical to money.
