I have no idea what Stratum V2 is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask
Sound familiar? That was me. But now it's not and it doesn't have to be you!
Here's a short zine that you can print at home + share. Just print the double sided PDF, cut, & fold
I woke up at 3am and can’t stop thinking about bitcoin.
This has been my first full bear market and I’m getting misty eyed thinking about stacking, building, and just holding the line with you all during the lowest of the lows.
I love you crazy people!
My latest project is live! It's an interactive tutorial for beginners that are interested in Bitcoin + want to learn more about how it works. Made for people that don't necessarily have coding backgrounds, but still want exposure to the technical side.
Three years ago I handed in my resignation letter for my previous job. I didn’t have a plan but I knew some way, some how, I needed to work in Bitcoin. At ~ $3,900 we were in the depths of a bear market. Best decision I ever made. Happy birthday to the

✅ Plug in first ASIC
Need another reason to be bullish? Of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, which animal most resembles a bull? It's the ox, which happens to be the sign for 2021 and 2009 (the year the Bitcoin code launched). Once again,

proves itself to be one very gracefully designed system.
I hate to admit this but Bitcoin has taught me to frame every problem in the context of incentives. Fireworks going off every night? What is there to be gained? What would make the action more “expensive” to carry out and how do we devalue the rewards?
Instead of going on about sound money, digital scarcity, inflation, the stock to flow model, and self sovereignty, has anyone just tried “Come to Bitcoin, we have a holiday for pizza”
"If other protocols succeed that will be because Bitcoin succeeded.
If Bitcoin succeeds, it will be despite other protocols like ETH and Dfinity trying to muddy the waters with FUD and distraction."

Hey everyone please stop using the word hyperinflation. Very bad things will happen if we call hyperinflation by its name. We each have a responsibility to correct anyone that speaks or writes “hyperinflation”.
If you see hyperinflation, say something that’s not hyperinflation.
Like “divorce” in a marriage this word

tweeted should not be uttered unless you’re trying to bring it into being.
No one shd take investment advice from someone who sees himself as making markets.
How insanely reckless to tweet this. Immoral. Jack, ban thyself.
For some reason running any kind of Bitcoin node scared the crap outta me. Turns out it is stupidly easy. Today I started a testnet node with an old hard drive that I had lying around. Baby steps! Thx
@arcalinea
for pointing me in the right direction! 💕
It’s 2039. My son goes to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. All the mugs are dirty except this one. He hand washes a different mug so he doesn’t have to use this one.
y'all turned my partner into a maximalist. I took him to
@LNconf
and now he's
- buying the dip
- asking about hyper loop
- planning to build a node
- looking at ASICs, and
- saying things like "why do ppl make shitcoins when they can spend their time and energy on bitcoin"
Million dollar idea: microwave that doesn’t make noise when you open or close it.
Why? Hundreds, I mean thousands... possibly TENS OF THOUSANDS of pregnant women wake up at 4am to eat leftover French toast. They are suffering in silence as they creep around the kitchen.
I see Coinbase’s new fees actually incentivize users to keep coins in Coinbase custody.
We wouldn’t want people holding their own keys because that could lead to things like transparency and proof of reserves. Wouldn’t want that now would we.
Coinbase does not charge network fees for cryptocurrency transfers from one Coinbase wallet to another or transfers between verified Coinbase accounts. Additionally, there are still no fees for having a Coinbase Pro account and you may hold funds as long as desired.
On evaluating companies: “If you can’t explain it to me like I’m five, it’s not going to work. We see a lot of technical complexity theater in this industry.” -

I shared with a friend and she wants to learn more!
Can anyone recommend articles on fiat and low time preference that are _not_ too heavy on Bitcoin? Don’t want to overload her with too much information at once.

A bird literally flew into my face in a parking garage. Based on my analysis this means bitcoin is going to take off unexpectedly. Also I might have bird flu.

Hey Nic, thanks for rescuing the ducklings that got stuck in the pool at my apartment complex again. It happens every year and each time you selflessly volunteer to jump in that cold pool to round them up and reunite them with their mama. Appreciate you 🙏
Did this cross stitch last spring but never got around to posting a pic. Feeling bullish and now is as good of a time as any to share! 14ct Aida cloth, homemade pattern ☺️

“Technology is precipitating a revolution in the exercise of power that will destroy the nation state just as assuredly as gunpowder weapons and the printing press destroyed the monopoly of the medieval Church.”
A hardware wallet that comes with a faraday bag that looks like an old school dad/8th grade boy wallet.
Complete with the plastic accordion photo slots and a Velcro closure.
First time I’ve seen something like this in the wild. The virus is spreading in a very confusing, non visually pleasing manner but hey - it’s spreading!
Are you looking for a way to sweeten your cold storage setup? Do you hate rummaging around for a tiny hardware wallet?

Mad respect to those that have been through these cycles before and thank you for your guidance.
The community really shines during the bear market and I’m sad to leave that phase. But now I’m chasing new highs getting the people I care about off zero. Onwards!
That Layered Money book by

is really messing me up.
Haunted by early central banks like the Bank of Amsterdam or the Bank of England and their decision to halt the ability to redeem bank notes for gold (aka sound, layer 1 money that has no counterparty risk).
