I have NEVER been more bullish in my 7 years of Bitcoin. This podcast is a must-listen. Favorite quote: “Go try to liquidate $100M of gold on a Saturday afternoon in Istanbul on the street-side”

New episode with @michael_saylor is now live! We discuss how Michael built MicroStrategy, what his $500 million dilemma earlier this year was, and why he choose to put more than $400 million into Bitcoin with the company's balance sheet. Enjoy :)

A lot of cope in these replies. Here are the biggest problems with Wasabi employing Chainalysis: (1) The fees you are paying to the Wasabi coordinator are being used to pay an unethical blockchain analysis company, which in turn harms the privacy of all network participants and

Okay so Wasabi Wallet is grabbing all utxos users feed it, and running it through a chain analysis server in order to filter out the blacklisted ones. Is that right? How does that not defeat its own purpose? Genuine question.

So Biden’s new energy policy is for half the USA’s electricity to come from solar cells that are manufactured in China with Uighur slave labor, powered by coal? This won’t make us energy independent, it will make us further dependent on China.

That feeling when you eat a meal at a restaurant and feel full and sluggish, but cook the same meal at home and feel energized and focused. Only key difference is the oils.

Just set up an old Ledger Nano S for testing. How does anyone actually use this? My hand cramped up when restoring the seed, took me 5 minutes to enter in 12 words. Took 60 seconds to enter in my PIN. Such antiquated technology compared to our @FOUNDATIONdvcs Passport.

I am deeply grateful for our hardware wallet competitors, many of whom have shot themselves in the foot in the last several months. I still hold great respect for @ShiftCryptoHQ and @SeedSigner who have held true to their principles and strong open source ethos.

@MayorWu @RepChynahTyler As of February 1, 30% of Boston's black residents are unvaccinated – and therefore effectively excommunicated from city life. Due to your mandate, of course.

Our government benefits from creating an unending state of fear, disease, addiction, malnutrition. We need a new paradigm of sovereignty, health, fitness, and hope.

The fact that fentanyl is the number one cause of death for people in the prime of their lives and suicide is number two is so damn depressing. The fact that there are practically no discussion about this in the mainstream is frightening.

For many years Bitcoiners (myself included) have been advocating for a future with everything built on Bitcoin. Bitcoiners have also been praying for increasing fees to ensure that mining continues to be profitable. Now it's all finally happening – and I am happy about it.

Some @FOUNDATIONdvcs employees are vaccinated, some are not. I don’t know exactly who is and isn’t. It’s none of my business to ask our employees if they are vaccinated or to force our way into their private medical decisions.

But at the same time, being forced to show our papers – in the very city that was the birthplace of the American revolution – will be even more heart wrenching. We cannot imagine living like that, because we wouldn't be living at all.

Yesterday evening I published the last post in our "Falling out of Love with Apple" series, this time focused on Apple's policies towards content and censorship. Was so excited this morning to see the post at #12 on Hacker News!

Falling out of Love with Apple, Part 3

In this final post of a three-part series, we discuss how Apple's approach to content is an anticompetitive slippery slope.
