Bitcoin Wales

Once one understand #Bitcoin, it's technology and game theory, you realise you are not speculating.

@krakenfx 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chuck Norris was the only person ever who mined bitcoin with a real pickaxe. RIP legend.

@gothburz @SteveSimple Only ordinals have longevity in 'digital land' (via #bitmap) and NFTs. Everything else had a time limit.

My net worth peaked at $1.2 million. None of it was real. I don't mean that philosophically. I mean it was located on servers that have since been turned off. I own eleven properties in the metaverse. Three in Decentraland. Four in The Sandbox. Two in Voxels. One in Otherside. And a beachfront villa in Horizon Worlds that I bought for $214,000 because Mark Zuckerberg called it "the next frontier." The frontier closed last week. It's a mobile app now. Last year I mass DM'd 340 people the phrase "you don't understand how early we are." I have since stopped doing that. Not because I was wrong. Because most of them blocked me. I got into metaverse real estate in November 2021. Everyone was buying. Someone paid $450,000 to be Snoop Dogg's neighbor. In a video game. With no legs. The avatars didn't have legs. I thought that was bullish. "The legs are coming," I told my Discord. "Legs are a roadmap item." Three hundred people reacted with rocket emojis. I called myself a "digital land baron." I put it in my Twitter bio. I put it in my LinkedIn headline. I said it on a podcast that had eleven listeners. Three of them were bots. The rest were my alts. My virtual property has more square footage than my actual apartment. My actual apartment has furniture. Location, location, location. My most valuable asset was a plot next to a virtual Gucci store. Gucci left in 2023. The store is still there. Nobody's in it. It's like a mall in Ohio but with worse graphics and no food court. I held. Diamond hands. That's what we said. "Diamond hands." It means refusing to sell while your investment loses 94% of its value. We turned financial paralysis into a personality trait. A guy in my Discord paid $2.4 million for a 618-parcel estate in Decentraland. Prime district. High foot traffic. I asked him what "foot traffic" meant when the platform had 38 daily active users. He said I didn't understand the technology. I didn't. I still bought more. We had a DAO. A decentralized autonomous organization. That means we voted on decisions. There were nine of us. Three never showed up. Two voted on everything without reading it. The other four were me and my alts. We voted to "acquire strategic parcels." The vote passed unanimously. I voted four times. My portfolio peaked at $1.2 million. I told everyone. I made a spreadsheet. I projected 40x returns by 2025. I made a pitch deck. The pitch deck had a slide that said "WE ARE BUILDING THE DIGITAL ECONOMY." The slide had a rocket emoji. That was my entire financial model. In 2023 I bought a Bored Ape for $189,000. It's worth $14,000 now. I don't talk about the Ape. I still use it as my profile picture. People ask me about it. I say "I'm long-term bullish." Long-term bullish means I can't sell it without crying in a Panera. My mom asked me what a Bored Ape was. I said "digital art on the blockchain." She asked why it cost more than her car. I said "you don't understand Web3." She said "I understand you live in a studio apartment." She's not in my Discord. Justin Bieber bought one for $1.3 million. It's worth about $90,000 now. I felt better about mine after I heard that. That's community. WAGMI. We're All Gonna Make It. We said that every day. In the group chat. While the floor dropped. While the volume dried up. While 95% of all NFT collections went to zero. We're all gonna make it. None of us made it. But we said it with conviction and a laser-eye profile picture. That counts for something. It doesn't. But we said it did. That's decentralized consensus. Meta spent $84 billion on the metaverse. I need to say that again. $84 billion. More than the GDP of Luxembourg. More than the GDP of Iceland, Luxembourg, and Malta combined. They spent it on a platform where the avatars had no legs, the graphics looked like a 2006 Wii game, and the peak user count was lower than the lunch rush at a Chipotle in Des Moines. They just pulled Horizon Worlds from VR headsets. It lives on as a mobile app. My beachfront villa is now a mobile app. Location, location, location. Zuckerberg renamed the entire company for this. Facebook became Meta. A $900 billion company changed its legal name because the CEO watched Ready Player One and said "I want that." Reality Labs lost $10 billion in 2021. $14 billion in 2022. $16 billion in 2023. $18 billion in 2024. $19 billion in 2025. That's not a strategy. That's a speedrun. They laid off 1,500 Reality Labs employees this year. Shut down three VR studios. Killed Supernatural. Put the entire VR social vision in a casket and said "we're pivoting to AI and wearables." The pivot took four years and $84 billion. I pivoted too. I'm an AI real estate investor now. I bought a virtual plot in an AI-generated world that doesn't exist yet. The founder said it was "the intersection of spatial computing and large language models." I don't know what that means. I gave him $40,000. He has a whitepaper. It's 47 pages. I read the title and the tokenomics section. The tokenomics section is a pie chart. I love pie charts. They make everything look like a plan. The project has a roadmap. Q1: "Build community." Q2: "Launch beta." Q3: "Scale ecosystem." Q4 is blank. Q4 is always blank. That's where the exit scam goes. My accountant asked me to value my metaverse portfolio for tax purposes. I said $1.2 million. He said "current market value." I said $6,400. He stared at me for eleven seconds. I know because I counted. He asked if I had any other investments. I showed him my NFTs. He stared for longer. I told him they were "cultural artifacts with long-term provenance." He asked if I'd considered a 401k. I told him a 401k was "legacy finance." He told me to leave his office. The metaverse is dead. I don't accept that. I am a digital land baron. I own eleven properties across four platforms. I have a beachfront villa in a mobile app, a plot next to an empty Gucci store, and a cartoon monkey that cost me more than my actual car. Location, location, location. The location is nowhere. But I'm early. I'm always early. That's the same as being wrong except you get to say it with confidence.

@ordinalswallet @Meta @MarkZuckss they really should!

Meta pivoting to bitmap?

@sungleeiq @SimonDixonTwitt thoughts?

🚨🚨🚨 ISRAEL JUST BOMBED IRAN'S GAS FIELD. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨🚨🚨 South Pars is not just any gas field. It supplies 25% of the WORLD'S liquefied natural gas. A quarter of the planet's energy. Gone in one airstrike. Let that sink in. Here's what happens next — step by step: 💀 STEP 1 — Iran previously warned that if their energy infrastructure was targeted, they would FLATTEN Qatar's LNG complex — the LARGEST on Earth — into a parking lot. 💀 STEP 2 — If Qatar's LNG complex is hit, Europe loses 20% of its gas imports OVERNIGHT. Gas prices don't rise — they EXPLODE. 💀 STEP 3 — Oil shoots past $150/barrel. Every economy on Earth feels it within 48 hours. Inflation goes vertical. Markets BLEED. 💀 STEP 4 — The Strait of Hormuz gets shut down. 21% of the world's daily oil passes through there. That's 21 MILLION barrels PER DAY — GONE. 💀 STEP 5 — China, India, Japan, South Korea — ALL of them depend on that strait. This isn't a Middle East problem anymore. This is a GLOBAL energy collapse. ⚠️ The U.S. bombed Iraq for 20 years over oil. Iran just had its energy lifeline attacked — a nation of 90 million people who believe in martyrdom. ⚠️ Their response won't be proportional. It will be DISPROPORTIONATE. They're showing you "precision strikes" and "limited operations." They're NOT showing you the chain reaction that's about to unfold. Every single escalation this month has been met with a BIGGER escalation. Not smaller. BIGGER. This is not de-escalation. This is a countdown. Prepare accordingly. 🚨🚨🚨 This post is being throttled. Like + RT to keep it alive. ⚠️

@dfinzer @openseafdn #Ordinalswallet.com

an update on $SEA. the team has been building at full speed, and the foundation had planned to kick off the first steps as part of our march 30th event. but @openseafdn is pushing back the timeline. a delay is a delay. i’m not going to dress it up, and i know how it lands. the reality is that market conditions are challenging across crypto right now, and $SEA only launches once. @openseafdn could force the original date, or we could ensure every piece is in place and make this moment what this community deserves. we gave a tremendous amount of thought to how to do right here. I’m thankful to @HollanderAdam for bringing the community’s voice into every conversation. we’ll be doing the following: no more waves: the current rewards wave will be our last. optional fee refund: recognizing that we originally committed to a Q1 date, we’re offering refunds of the platform fees we retained while participating in the rewards waves (3 - 6) that followed our timing announcement. if you like, you can receive a refund of those fees, which when combined with treasure chest prizes, essentially means all of your trading during that period was on us. if you opt for a refund, the Treasures you were awarded during these waves will be removed from your account. details on this process will follow. honoring existing Treasures: for Treasures you continue to hold, our prior commitment stands: they will be meaningfully considered by the Foundation at TGE. this is independent from allocations for historical activity. 0% fees for 60 days: starting on march 31st, opensea will reduce our own token trading fees to 0%. we want to make it a no-brainer for everyone to experience our new platform: cross-chain token trading, mobile app, perps and more. after this 60 day period, we will put a new system in place that makes fees significantly more competitive for anyone trading consistently on opensea. product updates: while we’re postponing our march 30th event, we’ll host a separate one in the coming months focused on product updates. it’s been incredible to see the early responses to our mobile app, and we can’t wait to get it into more people’s hands. so if not now, wen? when we announced last year, it was too early. that created unnecessary uncertainty and reactivity. so when the Foundation sets a new timeline, it will be deliberate and specific. here’s why i’m confident that’s the right move: i’ve been building opensea for almost a decade. when this started, we were two people and the only thing you could trade on OS was cryptokitties. i’ve watched this space go from a niche curiosity to billions in volume to where we are today. the thing that’s carried us through every cycle was a willingness to make hard calls when it mattered. when our market crashed, we rebuilt from zero: an entirely new stack, a new product, and a new team culture. that hurt in the short term. but today OS2 is undeniably the strongest marketplace offering, and it’s the foundation everything sits on. we have huge ambitions as a company, and we’re here for the long game. making all of non-custodial crypto delightful on mobile is just the beginning. that means we have to set a very high bar for everything we do, and it’s why i’m so protective of delivering a launch that’s worthy of this community and everything we’re putting into this.

@HodlMagoo Agree

The fiat experiment doesn’t end with a crash, it ends with what appears to be the biggest economic boom of modern history but is just debasement of epic proportions.

@themarketsniper Blackmail and or persuasion for OTC is my guess.

Indeed Why?

Remember when the Pentagon was missing 2 trillion dollars and then "Al-Qaeda” flew a "plane" into the part where the financial records were stored? And the government successfully convinced everybody the plane “evaporated.” That was awesome.

@Chris_Stewart_5 @stephanlivera @MARA Loosers

Congratulation to @mara for joining the #BIP54 party Mara just produced their first BIP54 compatible block: 940,548 Its happening folks. mempool.space/block/00000000…

@Vivek4real_ Not really. They are doing same thing with stable coins

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 UNITED STATES JUST PASSED THE BILL TO BAN THE FED FROM CREATING A CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY 🤯 THIS IS A MASSIVE WIN FOR BITCOIN AND FREEDOM 🔥

@ordinalswallet can we add hight, Latitude and Longditude to inscriptions as extra data so that they can be viewed with AR (augmented reality) in the real World?

@brian_armstrong @BlackRock Shitcoiners!

Congrats to @BlackRock on the launch of their ETH staking ETP, ETHB. We’re making crypto more accessible through familiar, trusted platforms. Wider access = more opportunity.

@markchadwickx And @krakenfx ipo......🔥

I don't think people understand how insane this actually is... Nasdaq just partnered with Kraken to enable 24/7 trading of tokenized stocks. The craziest part is it'll run on Kraken - not through traditional brokers like Schwab or TD. Last week the Fed, FDIC, and OCC confirmed tokenized securities receive the same capital treatment as traditional securities. Kraken also just gained access to Federal Reserve payment rails, putting a crypto firm inside the same core settlement infrastructure used by major banks. Think about what that means. A crypto exchange is now becoming the platform where tokenized equities trade globally, 24/7, 365 days a year. This is how trillions move on-chain. We're in the calm before the storm. Mass adoption is coming and Mass rotation of capital is coming with it.

@pete_rizzo_ What profits......?

SINGAPORE NOW OFFERS 0% CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON #BITCOIN AND CRYPTO BEAUTIFUL 🔥

@mrmikeMTL 2

How many cups of coffee do you have in one day? Be honest.

@Matt_Pinner Hell yer!

Be honest because I’m trying to prove a point Would you back your child or grandchild's decision to attend trade school rather than college?

@krakenfx Just before ipo also 🔥

A historic moment for crypto. Kraken Financial has been granted a Federal Reserve master account, making us the first digital asset bank with direct access to the U.S. payments system. A major step toward connecting crypto infrastructure with the core rails of global finance. blog.kraken.com/news/federal-r…
