#Bitcoin was NOT hacked No bitcoin wallet was hacked, nor is even known to be possible. Ransom hackers used a rented cloud server. FBI got a subpoena and took control of it and recovered coins. That's it.

you can't stop JPEGs on bitcoin. complaining will only make them do it more. trying to stop them and they'll do it in worse ways. the high fees drive adoption of layer2 and force innovation. so relax and build things.

hard money inherently requires an unavoidable production cost; proof of work is fundamental. people value gold as hard money, because it is scarce. and the scarcity inherently means there must be a production cost for more units. so it is with #bitcoin , digital gold requires PoW.

Bitcoin tapped $73k tuesday. No one said anything. Spent much of wednesday above $73k. I think the reason things are muted is that $100k seems way overdue, for a few years now, so there's not much bull market euphoria as the $1-5k green candles scroll by. Just tick tock $100k.

note how this works is $MSTR sold $610m new shares at the market (diluting existing shareholders % ownership), but it uses the proceeds to buy BTC and in fact again BTC/share ratio increased. the net effect is about 1.4% anti-dilutive in #bitcoin /share.
