1/ #bitcoin $BTC historical Elliott Wave count and extrapolation exercise. Back around July this year, @AkumaldoCrypto discovered a quite pervasive fib extension of 3rd and 5th waves that seem to occur historically: 2.618. I decided to play with that a little. Read more below...

@chefsevenn Buy some Bitcoin with your savings and self custody it. Then read a good book about it to learn what just did... What you actually did.

I’m 28. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@BitPaine It's not only Bitcoin podcasters who don't understand Gresham's law... Many economists don't understand it either.🤷🏾‍♂️

Percentage of bitcoin podcasters who actually understand Gresham’s law: 0%. (This is why nobody has or likely ever will use bitcoin for day to day transactions - unless or until we have driven all other money out of the marketplace which isn’t happening in our lifetimes.)

@AAStack @Factualman6404 That's the flat-earth mentality. Some people only believe their own eyes (radical empiricism) and think they understand much more about a subject than they do (Dunning Kruger effect).

@Factualman6404 Have you used them yourself

Honest question. Why did the US faked the moon landing in 1969?

@oomahq @SteveSimple I have a selfie with me, @giacomozucco and @adam3us at the same time. I also have Adam Back's name on a sticker on the back cover of my smartphone. Am I a traitor too? To my defence, both were realized before ordinals existed.

Confession. I’m friends in real life with bitcoiners who don’t support bip110. We still hang out and get along. I’m a traitor. I’m sorry

@giacomozucco @ndeet The lightning network is the best solution for 402. It was proposed back in 2018 I believe...? Now suddenly there's a shitcoin based proposal and everyone jumps on it. Disgusting 🤮 On the flip side, it might hurt the digital euro project a bit, which'd be good.

@alexinexxx @mizanyx Grumpy old konsole: "hold my beer".

@mizanyx was using kitty before :)

just switched from macos to cachyos, hyprland, ghostty & neovim

@mogul518315 @EricSpracklen Have you ever seen stars in broad daylight?

@EricSpracklen They could have at least painted in some stars.

Community note this post all you want, this is faker than a $3 bill.

@Killaroth @BitcoinIsaiah @EricSpracklen 1. You aren't going to see any stars in broad daylight because they are much too dim. 2. Dust behaves exactly like this under moon gravity and no friction/turbulence from air. It would have been impossible to fake this behavior back in 1969 on earth without a vacuum.

@BitcoinIsaiah @EricSpracklen I’d start with no visible stars, the overall lighting on the moon, and how the sand falls at a speed matching earths gravity. For the record, I think we did go there but that the film and pics are fake.

@John77394613 Huh? This was an Animal Farm reference... Didn't you like it?

@soloyopee muted

All vbytes are equal. But some vbytes are more equal than others.

@MattLegat @BitcoinIsaiah @ThisIsJay216 Look at how the dust behaves in the video. I don't think you can do this without being in a vacuum. Not in 1969 anyway.

@BitcoinIsaiah @ThisIsJay216 Can’t fake video footage but can go to the moon lol

Grown me can’t believe ppl actually thought this bullshit was real… do you see this contraption 😂 😂😂😂😂

@bramk Sure, but that was a joke.😅

Got Bitcoin?

@JoelHodlman @Sergiohn Whaaat? It's completely ridiculous to think it was fake. There is so much overwhelming evidence, faking all of that, especially with 1960's tech is absolutely impossible. There are plenty of documentaries and videos on yt explaining all that stuff in great detail. Go watch.

@Sergiohn I think it’s a fair question. I’m definitely a skeptic.

Have we actually been to the moon?

@giacomozucco @danielabrozzoni Exactly what I thought. Can't believe this is supposed to be unpopular...

Unpopular opinion: Bitcoin is better off not having shallow, spoiled kids easily distracted by every new shiny thing as core components of its culture and voluntary infrastructure. Whenever a bunch of millionaire cypherpunk austrian Chads really need some more poor virgin mercenary zoomers, they are better off paying them for the service, rather than trying to "seduce them back" with fake novelty.

Why do I see so many parallels between #bitcoin core PR 32406 and systemd PR 40954? Those parallels are alarming, and if they got simply tolerated by the masses would feel deeply depressing. #FOSS advocates should revolt and massively boycott such work.

@John77394613 @CubistRoy @dathon_ohm @BlueDavid I'm also blocked.🤷🏾‍♂️ But I must say that I think I have been blocked by more BIP110 or Knots supporters than core supporters for some reason, so I wouldn't say this is "typical core behavior".

@CubistRoy @soloyopee @dathon_ohm @BlueDavid aww he blocked me typical core behavior they are going to be so confused when we win

Another principled miner has joined the growing chorus of voices affirming that Bitcoin is money, not an arbitrary database. Congratulations to @BlueDavid and 234 Alberta. Onward to activation!

@CubistRoy @dathon_ohm @BlueDavid I don't know. Could be either for what I know.

@soloyopee @dathon_ohm @BlueDavid All I ever see out of that side is naive low effort fails. This is par for the stupid course.

@CubistRoy @dathon_ohm @BlueDavid I think it is pretty obvious that the way it was done would backfire. I don't think someone with the resources to do this is that naive.

@soloyopee @dathon_ohm @BlueDavid They spun up fake bip110 nodes. Derr

@Anton__BTC @notgrubles @BitcoinMotorist Oof.... No. This is a bad take, Anton. Bitcoin, bip110, knots and cypherpunks have nothing to do with "macho" culture, transphobia nor anything like that. Sorry, I need to push back here. You are in for a wild awakening one day if you believe this.😬

Cope harder grubles. BIP110 people are as macho, as it gets. It's coretards who: - discuss diversity, - wear neon color hair, - are sexually confused, - change gender - have sexual fantasies about dogs, - spam Bitcoin network with degenerate gifs, - hang out with Epstein, - propose Epstein to experiment on designer babies...

>No Bitcoiner should... >Only paid shills... Have a different opinion? Well that makes you a pedo or a paid shill, or maybe both! You can't just express yourself or your thoughts anymore. That's by design. It's meant to shut down any discussion. Knotzis are the woke equivalent in Bitcoin.

@DSBatten @Bitcoineconprof @ProfSteveKeen Ouch.😅

Wow, "waste by design?" What a throwback. Did you wake up this yesterday morning and think it was 2021? Steve, in case you didn't notice, the media has largely stopped reporting on this misinformation source: x.com/DSBatten/statu… Why? Largely because of 24 peer review journals show Bitcoin has positive environmental externalities, which is in agreement with what grid operators, battery engineers, solar and wind generators, and methane mitigation specialists have also observed. source: x.com/DSBatten/statu… In the meantime, Bitcoin now uses 52.4% sustainable energy. source: Cambridge, 2025. The idea that Bitcoin uses "energy per transaction" is a very old piece of misinformation that has been debunked in 4 peer reviewed studies (Masanet et al,  2019, Dittmar et al. 2019, Sedlmeir et al, 2020, and Sai and Vraken, 2023.) The fact you were unaware of this shows you lack a basic understanding of Bitcoin, but that hasn't stopped you opining about it. Far from wasting energy, Bitcoin mining has been found in multiple studies (see below) to be a user of otherwise wasted energy that is accelerating the renewable energy transition and counterbalancing renewable intermittency. You can bring yourself up to date here, next time you feel the impulse to simultaneously embarrass yourself publicly while misinforming people. x.com/compose/articl…

I could have bought Bitcoin for less than £10 per coin. I said no. And here is the 3-part case that is now playing out in real time. Bitcoin wastes energy by design. Every transaction requires 10 minutes of computing power to be deliberately burned across the network. The total energy consumption has already passed Switzerland. War is threatening 20 to 30% of global energy supply. 2 of Qatar's 14 LNG processing trains have been destroyed. Each takes 5 years to rebuild. Oil has no real substitute. When physical supply falls, output falls. The store of value argument destroys Bitcoin as a currency. When people expect the price to rise, they do not spend it. It stops being money and becomes a speculation. When energy rationing arrives, and governments are already moving in that direction, Bitcoin mining will not survive that conversation. Live proof: Trade in the Strait of Hormuz is moving to Chinese yuan. Not to Bitcoin. One fiat replacing another.
