Wallpaper please!

Crypto is far bigger than most people can imagine Even today, most are thinking too small Crypto will swallow up the entire financial world, while also changing the nature of money & power itself Bitcoiners tend to understand this, even if BTC itself cannot achieve this vision

@AyreFoundation Leon needed a miracle, and the @AyreFoundation made it happen. You love to see resources being used for something this meaningful.

“This support has given us hope during a time of great uncertainty.” Recently, CAF coordinated an emergency air ambulance transfer to help Antiguan Leon Haynes-Dover get an urgent thoracic evaluation and overseas care his doctors recommended. Read more: calvinayrefoundation.org/project/calvin…

BTC is a store of value that you can't afford to move, sitting on a platform you don't own. I’ll take the utility and the scary professional infrastructure of BSV any day if it means the tech actually works for the whole world. #BTC #BSV

Bitcoin was meant to be used, not just sat on. BSV is the only version being used for its intended purpose: a global, scalable, low-fee ledger. #BSV #Bitcoin

It's great that #Centbee has created a tool to recover funds without having to use the wallet especially after it will go this April. But please all #BSV users, if you have funds, take it out of your Centbee wallet soon, while their team are there to provide support.

@CalvinAyre Risking it all when everyone else was scared is why Bodog became a household name. Respect the hustle.

Success in business requires taking risks that others are afraid to take, and being willing to stick your nose into areas some people would prefer you didn’t go. In 2003, Bodog was asked to help launch a ‘sports betting festival’ in Las Vegas. The organizers wanted to assemble North America’s top handicappers, each of whom was to bring along their 20 biggest clients, to discuss what these clients wanted/needed most from sportsbooks. Bodog’s staff parties were already (in)famous, so we were asked to host the kickoff party. It proved a major success but the conference was a bust. None of the cappers brought their clients for fear of losing them to rivals and the panels were thinly disguised sales pitches by those running them. People who attended our party said it was the only part of the ‘festival’ that worked. We decided to take this conference idea and run with it, but control all aspects of it to ensure the highest quality possible. (What can I say? I’m a vertical integration guy.) We put a whole year into our prep, including convincing industry figures that, while this was a Bodog-branded event, it wasn’t Bodog-specific, and everyone who attended would come away thinking they’d gotten some value out of it. We were told that hosting the conference in Vegas was a bad idea given that the casino industry viewed online betting like the buggy whip industry viewed Henry Ford. But I always thought online/land-based gambling were more symbiotic than antagonistic, so we plowed ahead. We picked the Mandalay Bay Hotel as our venue. We hoped for 150 attendees so when 200 showed up we were over the moon. Everyone said the panels were informative and everyone who got to catch a Bodog-branded football from our special guest Joe Montana went home elated. We also threw another kickoff party, this time poolside at the Palms. Owner George Maloof even showed up and didn’t seem to mind that we’d projected the Bodog logo nine stories high against the Palms tower. (Guess he was having too much fun.) The day after the 2004 event, we started planning an even bigger one for 2005. We’d come through okay but there were a lot of areas for improvement. Also, expectations were higher, reflected in the fact that we presold three times more tickets than our first event. Our special guests for 2005 included Reggie Jackson and Mike Ditka. Mike was an absolute joy to work with behind the scenes, signing over 500 footballs to distribute to attendees and he gave a truly inspiring speech that literally brought a female member of our team to tears. We’d learned a valuable lesson from previous events: partying the night before the conference got underway meant sparse attendance at the next morning’s panels. So in 2005 we scheduled the big bash for the final night of the event, again at the Palms, this time at their Rain nightclub. I’d recently returned from my first Carnival experience in Rio de Janeiro, so we did a similar party theme, with fire dancers, stilt walkers, Capoeira practitioners, the whole shebang. Ditka later told us that it was the best party he’d ever been to (and this guy won a Super Bowl). We were planning to up the ante again in 2006 but the event was cancelled at the last minute after the U.S. started arresting U.K. online gambling CEOs transiting through America to Costa Rica. The rest of the industry was now too scared to attend, so we refunded everyone’s money and ate the considerable upfront costs ourselves. It’s a pity it ended there but we elevated the Bodog brand’s profile and our team learned a lot about planning and promoting events. We also proved our point about the synergies between land-based and online gambling, as the current market reality makes plain. Plus it was one helluva lot of fun.

Honestly, @lamintfans, you nailed it. The old model of gatekeeping content behind massive paywalls is dying. Moving to BSV micropayments turns every like into actual value, and that’s a total game changer for how we value creators. #BSV #Micropayments

The future of sports is female! Huge shoutout to the @AyreFoundation for powering the Women’s Premier League in Antigua. Seeing these athletes crush it on the field proves that when you remove the barriers, the talent shines through. Helping the next gen take their shot. calvinayrefoundation.org/project/calvin…

@AyreFoundation Proof that when you invest in soul, you get magic back. @AyreFoundation, this is world-class. Can't wait to see where these artists end up in five years.

The 8th 'Playing to Inspire' was a wonderful showcase of young musical talent. Congratulations to ABYSO & all the performers. This event is testament to why supporting young people is so important. We're sure this will be one of many stages for our artists of tomorrow.

Finally, I don't have to jump through five hoops and three exchanges just to get some #BSV. @RampNetwork just made my life about ten times easier.

@CalvinAyre Hardware is the muscle for the blockchain's brain. With BSV, we finally have the engine that can actually power the whole world.

The blockchain sector has long focused on network and application software to improve overall performance, but could greater gains come from improving blockchain hardware? This month, Chinese media reported that the head of the Beijing Academy of Blockchain and Edge Computing claimed to have developed “the world's first software-hardware integrated underlying blockchain operating system,” including new hardware specifically intended to boost blockchain performance. “The world's first 96-core dedicated acceleration chip for blockchain” reportedly resulted in a 50x performance boost that overcame “the computing power bottleneck faced by ultra-large-scale blockchain networks.” This ‘Chinese core’ system is said to be already at work at over a dozen government departments, including processing millions of tax invoices. Application-specific integrated circuits have long powered Bitcoin transaction processing. But the University of Southampton and the Minima blockchain have been tinkering with a new microchip prototype capable of running a full node embedded within the hardware of an autonomous drone. This month, the university’s engineering students reported making a secure and tamper-proof record of real-time drone operational/sensor data to the blockchain. By moving from the cloud to low-power hardware, the students claimed a 500x performance gain and a 10,000x energy efficiency gain. There’s any number of applications to which this kind of distributed, trusted verification could be applied. Imagine a commercial vehicle transporting perishable goods. Now imagine that truck has both hardware and software reporting real-time conditions inside the container. Both the trucking firm and the owners of the goods are kept in the loop, alert to anything going awry, eliminating he-said/she-said arguments over who’s responsible for spoiled goods. Blockchains like BSV have continually pushed the envelope in terms of increasing throughput, like the Teranode scaling system. The hardware on which systems like Teranode depend haven’t always kept pace. Perhaps it’s time we rectified this situation. What sectors might benefit most from blockchain-specific hardware innovations?

About time! This is exactly what the space needs. Less speculation, more regulation, and more actual utility. Can't wait to see which companies jump on the BSV train first now @BSVAssociation @lcx #BSV #Regulation
