Satoshi Nakamoto listed their birthday as April 5, 1975. That's no coincidence. #Bitcoin is about financial freedom. Why? 👇. Executive order 6102 signed on April 5, 1933 by President Roosevelt forbade holding of gold. In 1975 Americans could legally own gold again.

Martin Luther published his 95 theses Oct 31, 1517. Satoshi Nakamoto published the #Bitcoin whitepaper Oct 31, 2008. The first started a movement that led to the separation of church and state. The latter started a movement that will lead to the separation of money and state.

1/ 50 years ago today, the US, lead by President Richard Nixon, unilaterally terminated convertibility of the US dollar to gold, effectively bringing the Bretton Woods system to an end and rendering the dollar a fiat currency. #wtfhappenedin1971.

This is not a Trump pump. It's what Bitcoin has been doing in every halving cycle. Trump doesn't care about the principles of Bitcoin. He issues his own shitcoin. Bitcoin is about giving regular people back their freedoms especially in countries with high oppression.

Most Bitcoiners still don't get it. Governments or corporations holding large amounts of bitcoin could try to influence human consensus and change the code to their wishes. And please stop with the idea that Bitcoin will end wars. It won't.

If privacy is outlawed, only outlaws will have privacy. - Philip Zimmermann.
The Department of "Justice" has once again criminalized the developers of an app that restores financial privacy. The way to fix this it to make money private by default. Privacy must never be "exceptional," or they will make it criminal.

I can confirm that "Jörg Molt" is a scammer. Reported him to Austrian police, German authorities are also investigating.
Apparently, a German person called "Jorg Molt" has been showing a selfie taken with me and telling people that we are friends. This is a LIE. I don't know him at all. I have heard from others that he claims to be the founder of Bitcoin and has thousands of BTC. A LIE.

Using the rainbow flag which is a symbol of standing up against government repression for a „funny“ meme isn’t fun. In many countries we still don’t have basic human rights. Bitcoiners should stand with queers because we’re fighting the same structures.
It is time for everyone to stand up for the rights of the transchainers and the chainfluid against the toxic bitcoin maximalist patriarchy.

El Salvador's decision made #Bitcoin a global, supranational currency. Now every country, that is depending on the USD has the chance to do the same. Bitcoin will bring monetary freedom, that is based on neutrality. Which can ONLY work, when there is no leader. #learnbitcoin.
Tonga 🇹🇴 may be next nation to adopt #Bitcoin . Lord Member of Parliament @LordFusitua says he's already chatting with @jackmallers and is looking to buy #bitcoin with the nation's $750 million of reserves. Remittances also make up 37% of their GPD.

Can anyone explain how I'm going to onboard people with these fees? .Can't use on-chain, can't open channels. Makes custodial Lightning the only option. And all that because some people think it's fun to "break Bitcoin". Why not use Liquid or RSK?.
there's a well-publicized brc-20 mint happening right now, driving onchain fees up. The token has a max supply of 108,624,000, and can be minted in batches of 420 tokens per inscription. Inscriptions are 2 TXs. So to mint this thing all the way out will be 517,257 tx's.
