BOOK private one-on-one sessions with
@theBTCmentor
!
Learn self custody, hardware, multisig, lightning, privacy, running a node, and plenty more - all from a team of top notch educators that I've personally vetted & trained.
This morning someone tried to scam me out of
#bitcoin
on Instagram. I turned it around on them, scammed them out of money, and donated it to
@btcven
. What a wonderful day. Enjoy our conversation here:
Biden: "We're able to borrow because we always pay our debt. We always pay what we owe. We've never failed... Raising the debt limit is about paying off our old debts."
These past couple weeks have likely been the most stressful of my life. I've tried to do the right thing in a fast moving and delicate situation. Unfortunately that comes with labels that range from terrorist to scammer, depending on who you ask.
If
#Bitcoin
hits $100,000 by 2021, I'll make a video series of me flying around the world high fiving people who liked/commented on this tweet and successfully rode out the bear market unphased.

I think you may be looking at this from the perspective of sacrificing base layer decentralization and security for transaction throughput, whereas lightning network scales to millions of tx/s without sacrificing the former. Do you discount the notion of a layered approach?
As I've learned (especially this past month and a half), the definition of legal and illegal can turn at the whims of a tyrannical government on a dime. Bitcoin should not be subject to these whims, nor should functions/UTXOs in a wallet. I've ended my engagement with Wasabi.
Stop bitching and take some initiative. Asking permission has never worked.

As for me, this has been a lot. I've lost sleep and appetite, and my stress has started to rub off on my family.
In the interest of my mental health, I'll be off Twitter for the next week. Still working on tutorials, still helping however I can. Just not on the bird app.

- Ignores
@ln_strike
- Ignores the existence of lightning network
- Concludes that Western Union is cheaper
This is almost exactly what I want from a daily spending wallet. Receive on chain or lightning or liquid. You can swap from on chain with
@side_swap
natively. Incoming LN txs auto swap to Liquid. Outgoing LN txs auto swap FROM liquid. Kudos

I love how
@jackmallers
is able to take this interview that is started very adversarially and turn it around to seemingly impress, sway, and spark smiles from the correspondent in just a few minutes.
"The Federal Reserve, man, what are we going to do about that...Bitcoin is the only asset that guarantees you a future, an issuance rate, a monetary policy. The Fed's still going to be the Fed."

Lol they copied an entire collection of "rare" NFTs and put it on another blockchain... exactly like everyone with a brain said would happen. The comments are full of people asking about legal action for diluting their one-of-a-kind jpegs. Classic.

After being rejected from the yacht club for not being able to afford rising gas prices on Ethereum, the outcasts have had enough. Solanapes marks a watershed moment for the NFT space.

@LordFusitua
just told me in Twitter spaces he's looking over the El Salvador bill, chatting with
@jackmallers
, and is also looking to (hopefully) immediately take part of their $750 million reserves to hold Bitcoin while the price is low. This is wild.
This is the node that routed all the payments to the trucker protest in 2022. It's decommissioned now, but such a cool piece of Bitcoin history to have on my shelf. Maybe one day I'll put it up for auction (though I don't know if I'll ever want to let it go).
Wow this is absolutely incredible, and I'm VERY humbled. The events I've attended, the people I've met, and the work I've done thus far with the
@HRF
have been some of the most impactful on me over my time in Bitcoin. I appreciate the opportunity to do more.

: $25,000 to Ben Perrin (

Funding will allow Ben to create educational materials and conduct in-person and virtual workshops to teach dissidents and NGOs how to use Bitcoin safely and securely π
The curveball I didn't see coming: Politicians supporting
#Bitcoin
because they'd rather no one have control than give it up to corporations like Facebook.
Just like that - 4 years of hard work wiped out.

please take a look at this - my educational

channel is a large part of my livelihood and I would hate to see it go.
Bitcoin -$3600. In under 2 hours.
This is not savings, not money, not even currency.
Nothing but a speculation, a casino chip. Will it go up to $100K and beyond? Maybe. I don't know, and neither do the glib voices who assure you it will.
I donβt understand why some people are criticizing fiat money. Fiat money works! It gives central banks powerful tools of macroeconomic stabilization. Just look at his destabilizing the gold standard was.
I know the arguments/infighting over bitcoin can be exhausting, but it's much better than one dude dropping a diagram telling everyone how things are going to work.

Lol holy shit. If you have a
@Ledger
you should at LEAST stop using Ledger live. Switch to
@SparrowWallet
asap, then consider getting different hardware when you've got the funds.
Basically every single file on Ledger Live has user trackers in them
I've cleaned a bunch and there's still 310 files
Ledger REALLY wants to know what you're doing on Ledger Live. Every click, every keystroke, every thing you look at gets tracked, logged and phoned home toβ¦
Today I celebrate 5 years of the BTC Sessions. What started as a hobby has changed my entire life, and has somehow been beamed into 4.6 million sets of eyeballs. A sincere thank you to everyone that has ever watched, commented on, tipped or shared my content. What a ride.
I'm gonna say it:
Every single Bitcoin wallet should default to sats, with full BTC as a secondary unit. Any fiat pricing should have a little info button that says the dollar value is an approximation based on their price source.
MAKE SATS THE STANDARD.
Thinking about making a video regarding how I try to efficiently navigate a high-fee environment when it comes to:
-stacking/saving
-day to day payments living on BTC
-moving between layers
-retaining self custody
Good idea?
Today I ticked over 80,000 subscribers on my YouTube. I've gotta say that the road to 100k is an absolute GRIND when it comes to educational content/tutorials. If you're following me here but haven't subbed yet - hit the link and help me to my goal!
My normie friends are super riled up about the Royal Family and whatever their recent scandal is. They are curiously not upset about the continual destruction of human time through currency debasement. Living in a fiat world with fiat problems π€·ββοΈ

I just watched a woman's jaw hit the floor as a cashier at the grocery store informed her that a bag of grapes she just scanned would be TWENTY SEVEN DOLLARS.
