Like, if you know who this person is.

1. The artist I would most love to collaborate with in the whole world and why: That would be @FractalEncrypt . He was simply the reason I got so deeply involved in laser art dedicated to Bitcoin. While I was raising money for my first laser machine (which was very small), I contacted him for the first time. As far as I remember, it was around the time he finished his first Bitcoin Node sculpture. He answered all my questions about the laser machines, I showed him the first Bitcoin Religion sculpture I was working on at the time, using the services of third parties to cut the files, and he loved it. He told me about a closed group of artists he was a member of, and that's how he voted me into Scarce City. The rest is history.

I recently flew to the UK to do some restoration work on The Bitcoin Full Node Sculpture #2 of 10. In 2020, I used a very thin veneer on the halving equation at the top, and it recently got damaged, so I replaced the crest with solid hardwood, and while I was there, I also added a mirrored B. An artist is never done! The process of making the Full Node Sculpture series rooted me deeply to the relationships between Bitcoin and Time. And since I only had a short time in London, I wanted to take a trip through time and explore some of the history of timekeeping and clockmakers. The owner of #2 @Charlie95274508 took me for an amazing tour of The Museum of The Clockmakers of London and The Victoria & Albert Museum. We saw some amazingly historically significant pieces including Harrison's H5 and multiple 14th and 15th century astrolabes. I'll share some pics of the adventure in this thread. Join me below for a trip through time, going hundreds of years into the past and also future.

@FractalEncrypt Very cool!

If you know what show this picture is from, I will follow you.

@HodlTarantula That would be the sound of sound money, sir!

If you can identify this sound... I want to follow you.

I don't think I'm exaggerating by saying that this truly is the US's Suez moment: Saudi Arabia just entered into a NATO-like alliance with Pakistan whereby "any attack on either country is an attack on both." The symbolic is extraordinary: Saudi Arabia was in many ways THE poster child of US client states. If they no longer trusts American security guarantees, why should anyone else? And of course the fact this actually happened and wasn't prevented by the U.S. is immensely telling in and of itself. This has so many other consequences that it's almost too much to fathom: - First of all, it means that Saudi Arabia now benefits from Pakistan's nuclear deterrence (and the deal does include nuclear: a senior Saudi Official told Al Jazeera that “this is a comprehensive defensive agreement that encompasses all military means”, aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/17…). Which means we now officially have two nuclear-backed blocs in the Middle East: US-Israel vs Pakistan-Saudi. Additionally, Pakistan explicitly rejects a "no first use" doctrine - meaning Saudi Arabia now has a protector willing to use nuclear weapons preemptively. - Given that 81% of Pakistan's weapon imports come from China (scmp.com/news/china/mil…), it also means that Saudi Arabia just indirectly aligned itself with the Chinese military-industrial complex - This effectively extends the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to the Persian Gulf, protected by Pakistani nuclear weapons and Chinese military technology - creating a secure energy corridor from the Middle East to China that completely bypasses the Strait of Malacca - The timing is probably no coincidence, just days after Israel's strike on Qatar, the ultimate proof of the worthlessness of US protection. - Other Gulf states, and probably in due times other countries "protected" by the U.S., are likely to explore comparable models in the next few months. In fact this might lead to a cascading collapse of the U.S. global alliance system, leading to an entirely new international system where regional nuclear powers become security providers. - Hard to see how that doesn't permanently kill any chance of Israel-Saudi normalization: Pakistan does not recognize Israel either and with this alliance the Saudis now can resist US pressure as they don't solely depend on them for their defense - It puts India in an extremely tough spot: its archenemy just became the security guarantor for one its primary energy suppliers - This undoubtedly kills IMEC (India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor), the Biden administration's flagship grand strategy to counter China's Belt and Road that was supposed to connect India to Europe via Saudi Arabia - There is a monetary aspect too: this is another nail in the coffin of the petrodollar system (an agreement to price oil exclusively in USD in exchange for US protection). Saudi Arabia is now much more flexible to price oil in whatever currency it wishes And this is just what's immediately visible. As a final word: if anyone had any remaining doubt that we were now in a multipolar world, that debate is now settled permanently. American global dominance is no more.

@bradmillscan Not at all! Carry on!

I’ve been so positive & happy the last 6 months that I’ve disconnected from everything. I even kinda retired to leisure for a couple months. I eventually felt a bit lost & unmotivated. Now I feel a fire. Is it unhealthy to need a crypto enemy to be motivated & effective.

@glennbeck I am 17 high school student, listen to you everyday. I speak for local Tea Party's about debt and deficit. Fight Liberal bias

@TheBTCTherapist @CedYoungelman There was a big push for someone to come up with a product that would allow you to short BTC. At the time it was “buy only”. I think the CME came out with a shortable BTC future first on Dec 18th. That was the top of the market by a day or two. Amazing!

Can someone who was around in 2017 tell me exactly what the run up to Q4 felt like?

@CryptoCloaks I’m in! I also want that beautifully ugly sweater!! 🤣

CHRISTMAS RICK IS COMING BACK THIS YEAR AND IMMA MAKE IT BIGGER AND BETTER THAN EVER. NO ONE WILL COMPLAIN ABOUT WINNING AGAIN!

@Marsmensch Wow! That’s great! Must have been time consuming putting in all those people!

@CryptoCloaks Whoa!

Fricken clean af

Late night thoughts turning into reality. This unlocks so much for customization on all our products. We had to test it out first with a super detailed @SPACEBULL design we had for coasters on our @COLDCARDwallet MK4 sleeves. The detail. 🤯🤯🤯

@CedYoungelman I got a text from a friend thanking me for Orange pilling him at ~$30,000. He bought 1.5 BTC for ~$45,000. He said it’s now worth ~$184,000. We laughed, as friends do…

Bitcoin is at $120k and not a single phone call, text or email from friends or family. We are so early. This is bullish. Few.

@CryptoCloaks Still up for a trade, $1,000,000 Rabbit Hole Whiskey (only 21 made)?

Want to learn about Bitcoin mining and join the lottery? We got you covered.

@Halstonvalencia @saylor @LawrenceLepard @LynAldenContact @jackmallers @saifedean @adamobrien Wow! Good for you! What a start! Congrats! Your future is so bright…😎

I just graduated from USC. I now have a bachelor’s in Business Economics and a master’s in Marketing, where I took over 42 units of finance and economics courses. And still, none of those courses taught me what I learned on my own. No class explained the truth about the broken system we live in. It was brushed off. I found that through late nights and early mornings studying Bitcoin, questioning fiat, and questioning everything I had ever been taught about economics, realizing the financial world is built on sinking sand. Reading Broken Money by @LynAldenContact built the foundation. Reading The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics by @saifedean connected the dots. The Big Print by @LawrenceLepard lit the fire. @jackmallers podcast helped me put words to what I was feeling. Rage, urgency, hope, and purpose. And hearing @adamobrien talk about Bitcoin as a way to protect his kids’ future made me realize I want that too. Bitcoin gave me clarity. It gave me hope. Choosing Bitcoin isn’t about wealth. It’s about building something real for my future family. It’s the hardest money there is, one that comes with strong conviction. I’m making a decision now, to become someone my future kids will be proud of and grateful for. A decision to reject comfort. To choose discipline over dopamine. I don’t want to waste my 20s watching Love Island, mindlessly scrolling TikTok, or watching football each week. I want to understand the truth behind financial markets and why the system is built to keep us dependent. I want to see through all the noise, stack sats, build conviction, become unshakable, and tell the story of sound money. I’m not like the rest of my generation, and I’m okay with that. #bitcoin #getbased #soundmoney #saifedean #lynalden #larrylepard #jackmallers #adamobrien #thebitcoinwell
