@BitcoinatBlock @Square got me a little matcha with Bitcoin!

We will continue to support companies that accept $BTC in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and anywhere else we happen to be in the country! If you are a business with a @Square terminal, you can easily accept Bitcoin and save 3% every time your customers swipe. It’s a no-brainer.

@BTC_JEDI21 Money.

Define Bitcoin using only 5 words

@RonSwanonson You’d be surprised how many only lurk

X says it’s showing my posts to a lot of people… But I do not think they are bitcoin people It’s completely dead in here…

@BTC_JEDI21 Anyone who tells you that self custody is the “only answer” is over estimating people’s skill at maintaining their storage solutions. I know many technology professionals that lost their wallets. It’s certainly much easier to do it correctly today but it’s still not foolproof.

Do I really need to self-custody my Bitcoin or is it ok to just have the ETF?

@tmknsm Also, the highest form of flattery!

Shameless

@Ric_RTP @grok who’s gonna win according to to prediction markets?

In 19 days, a jury in Oakland is going to decide whether the entire legal foundation of the AI industry is built on fraud. Everyone thinks the Musk vs Altman lawsuit is a billionaire grudge match. Two egos, one grudge, a $150 billion damages number designed for headlines. Easy to dismiss. Easy to scroll past. That's exactly what Altman wants you to think. Because what's actually on trial on April 27 is something much BIGGER than Elon's hurt feelings... A jury is going to decide whether you can legally take billions of dollars in nonprofit donations, use them to build the most valuable technology in human history, and then quietly convert that nonprofit into a for-profit company worth $850 billion. If the answer is no, the entire AI industry has a problem. Because OpenAI is not the only company that did this: Anthropic was founded by OpenAI defectors using the same nonprofit-first mission language. xAI pitches itself as building AI "for humanity." Every frontier lab has used the moral cover of "we're doing this for the good of the world" to attract talent, capital, and regulatory goodwill they would have never gotten otherwise. An Elon win doesn't just touch OpenAI. It creates a legal precedent that every AI company built on a nonprofit or public benefit promise becomes vulnerable to shareholder and donor clawback suits. That's why this case matters. And that's why Altman is panicking. Just look at what he did this week: Elon filed a motion demanding the court remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and FORCE OpenAI to return to its nonprofit origins. Then he amended the suit to say if he wins the $150 billion, all of it goes to OpenAI's charity arm. Not him. Zero dollars to Elon personally. That amendment was surgical. It stripped Altman of his entire public defense. He can no longer claim this is about Elon's ego or Elon's bank account. Elon is now legally on record saying he just wants the mission back. OpenAI's response was to panic-write a letter to the California and Delaware attorneys general asking them to investigate Elon for "anti-competitive behavior." Their strategy chief publicly accused Elon of coordinating attacks with Mark Zuckerberg. They called the lawsuit "harassment driven by ego and jealousy." That's NOT the response of a company that thinks it's going to win. Real companies with real defenses don't ask the government to silence the person suing them 3 weeks before trial. They let the evidence speak. OpenAI is scrambling because they know what's in discovery. Elon's team has been building this case for two years. Emails, board minutes, internal conversations about the conversion. The kind of paper trail that juries understand and executives can't explain away. And the timing couldn't be worse... OpenAI is trying to IPO at $852 billion. They just raised $122 billion. Microsoft has $135 billion of exposure to them. A jury verdict that even partially sides with Elon in late April or May would crater the entire IPO runway and send shockwaves through every major AI investor on Earth. This is why Altman spent the last 2 weeks doing press tours and policy blueprints and "super intelligence agendas" aimed at Washington. He's trying to REFRAME himself as the responsible statesman of AI right before a jury decides if he's a con artist. Most people will watch this trial start and think it's celebrity drama. The smart money is watching it and realizing that the legal foundation of the AI boom is about to be tested in court for the first time EVER. And if that foundation cracks, everything built on top of it is at risk.

@RonSwanonson Those are both professions that require governance and central authority

Why is it that IT and finance professionals have the hardest time understanding Bitcoin? These people literally deal with computers… and money The only 2 things involved Yet, 95% fall right on their face when trying to understand what gives Bitcoin value

@nachunja No comment

This state is doing it wrong

@mk21e6 @milessuter @tmknsm @Square We did. Go check it out!

@milessuter @tmknsm @Square Why don’t you make the map in Cash App automatically show merchants accepting bitcoin?

We’re seeing a lot of excitement around the @Square bitcoin payments announcement. Just to clarify what's actually rolling out and when: On Monday, 100% of newly onboarded, eligible U.S. sellers were enabled by default (when using payments). For existing sellers, we’re starting with a smaller (though very sizable) cohort and expanding gradually. While our recent TOS update gives us flexibility to scale over time, we’re intentionally rolling this out in phases to ensure a smooth experience for our sellers. As I said earlier in the week, we only have one shot to do this right and we are doing it very intentionally 🫡

Which cafe order is going to win btc.day? So far I’ve seen 1 machiato and 1 flat white purchased with bitcoin today! I’m going in for the classic cappuccino later today.

@davidmarcus @openclaw All the best security pros I know tried it out immediately. Curiosity is incredibly important

Not experimenting with @openclaw to the max extent for “security reasons” is like not connecting to the internet in the 90s.

@ArmandSlason @BitcoinatBlock @milessuter @Square Hey Mando! I helped the manager turn on Square Bitcoin payments at the Gilbert location just a couple days ago! Here’s a video guide on how to accept the payment you can share with any Square seller youtu.be/HnOzE5nNegI?t=… I’ll share this with their team. This is the way.

@BitcoinatBlock @milessuter @Square Gadzooks in Phoenix, Arizona. They tried to call the owner to ask about it. I told them u would be back

@RonSwanonson @Square Nice! Did you claim your bounty ?

Went back to the San Diego deli that wants to accept Bitcoin and showed him how to activate Bitcoin payments in @Square today Dashboard > Banking > Bitcoin Then “Get Started”. Super easy He’s really excited to be able to keep the Bitcoin that people will pay with and not have to convert it back to dogshit USD And his business will show up on the map now Adoption happens every day… Lots of Bitcoiners lurking out there

@folaoftech It will take me longer to give you an accurate answer than it takes to just do it!

This conversation plays out in every sprint planning. 😂

@pmarca Well I can’t easily get more IQ, so I guess the solution is to get dumber #antifragile

@TheJakeHanna @BitcoinatBlock @Square Can you DM us which vendors and what wallet you were using? I’ll take a look.

@BitcoinatBlock It failed at two @square vendors today for us :/

It’s still so early for BTC payments. Today was a step in the right direction, but there’s a lot more work ahead to make bitcoin everyday money. Back to building ⚡️

@gminoprio @tmknsm @TheBitcoinConf Yes please

@tmknsm @TheBitcoinConf I bring the Vision Pro to demo it?

If you want to be among the first to tap this toggle (and other things 👀), you’ll need to come see us at @TheBitcoinConf.
