From doubles match to felony charges… wild.

Last minute cancellations at that level always raise eyebrows.

AI is taking over the world and you don’t think they’ll want to use Bitcoin? 🧐

They certainly won’t use gold or fiat!

Archive pics from my time at the Bitcoin Berlin conference 12 yrs ago.

The “honest money” slogan is from the former bar/restaurant Room 77.

Early origins of Berlin as a crypto hub!

People say that Bitcoiners who got in early were lucky and didn’t have to work for it.

That’s bullshit. HODLing is hard.

Who else from the mainstream financial world could HODL onto an asset that swings up 10-40x then down 80%… multiple times!

Where do you think we are in the crypto market cycle?

Depression? Disbelief?

The last remaining alpha w/ competing AI algos will be access to energy (compute) and information

SpaceX has both with Starship capacity:

Compute - infinitely scalable via space based data centers

Starlink - will eat a majority of internet traffic, data flows into training xAI

A Nobel Peace Prize winner getting another sentence before finishing the first tells you everything about the system,not about her. Courage is being criminalized, and the world shouldn’t look away.

Panic, fear, doubt.

All hallmarks traits of nearing a bottom.

I've seen far worse moments in Bitcoin's history.

The collapse of Mt.Gox and FTX, Bcash civil war, China FUD, mining deal spiral FUD, other crypto assets attacking Bitcoin's narrative, etc.
But I still believe. I still believe that Bitcoin is the solution to trust in the financial system.

Crypto aside, this is a clear conflict of interest problem. When political power and private digital assets mix, transparency and oversight aren’t optional, they’re essential.

Volatility is suppressed, which usually precedes a larger move. Managing exposure, not guessing direction.

Pandemics don’t wait for boarding passes.

HODLing is painful.

If you survive the journey you will truly know what HODL means.

If you believe bitcoin was created by or controlled by Epstein you literally have rocks for brains.

With Bitcoin we don't have to trust in banks, the Fed, or the government.

Those who understand the value of Bitcoin and HODL are rewarded. Those who don't are shaken out.

Which one will you be?

Are you still hodling? ✋

Met a girl on Hinge.

Need a quick spot check on if she’s an intelligence operative plant:

- Loves capitalism
- Into Bitcoin, has a Satoshi theory
- “Collecting vintage guns makes sense as a hobby”
- “Having a bunker is totally sensible”
- Not vaxxed

And she’s actually hot 😂

Gold and silver are shitcoins.

Volatility is the price you pay for performance.

HODL ✊

SpaceX at $1.5T doesn't even fully capture existing defense and Telco TAM.

Also not factored into the current valuation:
- Space based compute
- Beamed power
- Being the rails of the exploding space economy

You really think the AI of the future is going to use gold for currency?

Lmao.

Bitcoin’s price isn’t currently dropping because of quantum concerns.

However, than doesn’t make the conversational action around mitigating that risk any less important.

Thoughts?

Bitcoin is for everyone.

Including institutions and governments.

If you think that means Bitcoin has been “corrupted” then you’re absolutely retarded.

Bitcoin’s code hasn’t changed at all.

They’re bending the knee.

This is what success looks like.

Gold, the quintessential form of money, has a $35 trillion market cap with zero merchant adoption.

So why do people think Bitcoin can only have value if it’s used for everyday merchant payments?
