Jean-Baptiste Kempf (that's him) leads VLC through VideoLAN, a French non-profit. No ads, no sales—funded by user donations, sponsorships, grants (e.g. EU bug bounties), and partnerships.
He draws salary from the org, plus consulting on video tech & codecs (he built dav1d, the fast AV1 decoder powering Netflix/YouTube/etc.). Smart guy chose impact over quick cash. Legend. 🧡

if this dip is truly being caused by a liquidity contraction before a wave of stimulus, then the only real historical comparison we have is the 2019 COVID crash
like the ocean going out before a tidal wave

Bitcoin Is For Everyone is out now in print, audiobook, and ebook -- I can’t believe I finally get to say that!
This educational project has been years in the making. It comes from my family’s immigrant story, from watching the American Dream get priced out for so many hard-working people, and from my conviction that understanding money and Bitcoin can truly change ordinary lives.
Before it goes out into the world in a bigger way, I want to acknowledge three people whose minds and hearts shaped this book in a huge way:
@LynAldenContact’s thoughtful, disciplined, data-driven mind was absolutely indispensable. Lyn’s ability to turn complex ideas into clear writing grounded in rock-solid facts was a huge inspiration. Knowing she took the time to read and challenge this book is an honor I don’t take lightly.
@JeffBooth has such a uniquely calm, compassionate way of explaining the massive paradigm shift we’re living through. Jeff helped me articulate the transition we’re in (from a debt-driven, deflation-fighting system to something more hopeful) in a way that feels grounded and human.
And the formidable Michael @Saylor…The way he combines first-principles logic, long-term vision, and personal integrity has deeply influenced my journey in Bitcoin. His example gave me so much courage to write boldly and from the heart.
To Lyn, Jeff, and Michael: thank you for reading early copies of Bitcoin Is For Everyone, for your feedback, and for the example you each set in this space. You helped make this book better!
I’m so excited (and very nervous!) to finally share it with all of you. You can order Bitcoin Is For Everyone now. I truly hope it helps people feel more empowered in this financial system.

@moochieball @1MarkMoss Hence they will use a 3rd party custodian...
English

@1MarkMoss How many at jpm understand multisig and proper custody. I don’t like it…
English

@BKnight221 @1MarkMoss Better to use BTC as collateral before it moves. Less risk of a dump.

@1MarkMoss Ah, zoom out police! And what does this have to do with JPM news?
$BTC has basically not moved forward since Dec 2024.

@pepemoonboy If you pay my mortgage and my recent home renovation I’ll buy the equivalent amount in Bitcoin.
Until then go back under your bridge.

@WhalePanda Saylor understands Bitcoin extremely well.
He would demand transparency from Coinbase. He just chooses not to expose that publicly.
I can’t see him handing over billions of dollars to Coinbase without verification they are holding real BTC for him.

@CryptoSavingExp @grok how many senators are required to pass a bill?

@scottmelker I bought. These dips have killed every last little bit of bulltard within me. Just blindly buying deep red dips like we are seeing today. Bitcoin is on sale right now

In recent years, Australia's Perth Mint sold gold to China that was "doped" or diluted with other metals, primarily silver, to a purity level below the stringent standards set by the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE). Specifically, the gold bars were diluted from a purity of 99.996% to 99.992% due to the addition of silver. This dilution did not meet the SGE's standards, leading to the controversy. However, it should be noted that this level of dilution still maintained the gold above the general industry standard of 99.99% purity.

@haralabob @BitcoinPierre @Jason Yeah I’d love for him to prove it.
Anyone that is so obviously anti-Bitcoin definitely doesn’t own enough.
English

Bitcoin’s value will increase either way, so @jason just wants to keep the gains for himself and punish We The People when we could pay off the national debt

@noufsmith @VandelayBTC Funner fact, There are no Bitcoins, only Satoshis

If you don’t have a Yubikey you need to get one (2 actually so you have a backup) and add it to your email, exchange, iCloud and anywhere else that will let you.
This is especially important if you’re keeping large amounts of money on an exchange connected to your email.

@PeterMcCormack @mikegermano Yes
I think you could run both podcasts
WBD - about 25% of the volume you used to do. Zoom is better than none at all.
English

Let’s face it, @PeterMcCormack exit from the #Bitcoin space has left a noticeable gap in the space, and so far, no one new or seasoned has stepped up to fill it.
