Venezuela just tried to withdraw $1.2 billion of their own gold out of the Bank of England. They were denied this request by the bank. If you don’t think uncensorable, unseizable money is going to become the standard, you’re absolutely nuts. Long Bitcoin, Short the Bankers!

Each one of us is a very, very delightfully complex undulation of the energy of the whole universe. Only, by process of miseducation we’ve been deprived of the knowledge of that fact—not as if there was someone to blame for this because it’s always with our own tacit consent.

@officialmcafee We were at war, now we've won.

The McAfee 2020 Campaign is, as of this day, in exile. I am being charged with using Crypto Cuttencies in criminal acts against the U. S. Government. More videos coming shortly. Stay tuned.

#Bitcoin will eventually become impossible to track and fully anonymous. Coinjoin and LN already make it very difficult to identify the source. Give it time. We will all stop talking about fungibilty same way we stopped talking about the block size. 🍻

Consider a parallel universe, where the government was in charge of all food production and delivery. Food would be considered an Essential Service, and pundits would be horrified at the thought of "privatizing meals."

Today infosec is not some theoretical obsession of a few nerds like it was in mid-1990s, but an actual everyday need of _billions_.

C and UNIX were very good for 1970s setting: when you share a wardrobe-shaped text-UI computer connected to 3 others in the same bldg and you do science stuff. Today you run random code written by random people on the same computer where you store ALL your personal life.

Alison Quiggin starts off "A Survey of Primitive Money: The Beginnings of Currency" (published 1949) with a bang:

At some point not owning Bitcoin will be considered more dangerous than owning Bitcoin. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.

#Bitcoin Yearly Lows

Exactly what gets me hyped about cryptocurrency

November 2011 a lot of people felt rekt as BTC approached $2, six months after touching $30. Same in January 2015, with BTC hovering just above $200 after being above $1100 a year earlier. They have all been redeemed and rewarded. If they held. #hodl
