Bitcoin will not destroy the US Dollar. The US government will do that all by itself. Bitcoin is simply the lifeboat and it's already starting to fill up with passengers.

say they don’t want politics at the office: NY Times writes articles calling them racist.
SBF evaporates billions of client funds and tells a journo he just pretends to be woke. NY Times: “now hold on let’s hear what he has to say first.”
You better be working out, eating well and putting time into your important relationships. A $1M Bitcoin price won’t matter if you don’t take care of the basics.
1/ LIDAR is uncovering civilizations we never knew existed throughout the Amazon and other heavily forested areas. What is LIDAR, how does it work, and what’s it going to tell us?
1/ Real talk: There's a new (last few years) wave of Bitcoin maximalist marketing types who lack deep technical knowledge and simply autistically screech at every non-Bitcoin project.
I was a TA for the first Bitcoin/crypto class at Stanford (CS251 in 2015) and on the final exam the students were given an ETH smart contract for a dutch auction with 8 bugs purposefully put in it. The task was to find all bugs. The students found 15.
The "next Bitcoin" is not going to look like Bitcoin at all and may not be a cryptocurrency. It's going to be some mind-bending economic paradigm shift many many years from now that few will recognize early on.
Gary Gensler was tirelessly working to make our lives more difficult in the US to "keep us safe" while the whole time he was socially connected to the biggest fraudsters in the industry. Wolves in sheep's clothing.
The energy-consumption Bitcoin FUD is just getting started. PoS coin marketing arms, subsidized by Silicon Valley VCs and ICO profits, are going to lobby hard against Bitcoin. Banks and ESG money will join forces with them as well. The big fights have not even begun yet.
Coinbase deserves its fair share of criticism, but trust me, you do not want them to lose to FTX. Coinbase has a core ethos of economic liberty. FTX is a pure player of the game where morals only hold you back. Be careful what you wish for.
AI bias researchers weird me out because their entire field of work seems to actually be focused on ensuring that AI is as biased as possible towards an SF Bay Area HR lady worldview.
I knew SBF was a bad actor the minute I saw the “climate” button on the FTX website navbar. I then began to learn about his regulatory capture strategy in DC and realized he’s an enemy of freedom. He got exactly what he deserved.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: ESG is an attack on economic freedom from the Marxist diversity-industrial complex. It sounds friendly and positive on the surface, but look behind the curtain and you’ll find a demon.
In 2013 I came to the conclusion that
#Bitcoin
was going to be the reserve currency of the world and decided to dedicate my career to it. The ride just gets wilder every day. Blessed 🙏.
The CEOs of Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon were just asked if they believe China steals technology from U.S. firms.
Cook: We haven't experienced it.
Pichai: Neither have we.
Zuckerberg: Yes, absolutely.
Bezos: I've read that.

Dennis Hastert, former Speaker of the House, was a serial child molester, only served 13 months in prison, and still gets his $73k/year congressional pension. You'd think more people would talk about this.
@BillAckman
Mining is insanely competitive and loses money at higher energy prices. Mining feedback loop actually drives miners towards more and more remote/stranded forms of energy, not upmarket towards power that competes with residential electricity demand. TL;DR Mining does not make…

@DoD_ODEI
"Diversity is a strategic imperative critical to mission readiness". This is completely untrue and it's quite concerning that this theater is permitted in the DoD.
ETH looks like it's on a trajectory to become a no-man's land middle ground blockchain. It's subpar money compared to
#Bitcoin
and a subpar technology platform compared to Solana.
Over half of the

treasury is in
#Bitcoin
. This has a number of benefits:
1. It amplifies our resources available to build new products as Bitcoin grows
2. It diversifies our treasury away from cash and insulates River from tradfi failures
3. It is a multiplier for the…
I wish my ETH friends the best of luck on the merge. While I'm not a fan of PoS, I'm happy to see people trying new things and working on hard technical problems.
The sharpest finance guys understand
#Bitcoin
, but many of the the middle curve guys are hopeless. They have built their careers on extracting from a system they don't understand the first principles of.

Ok hear me out, what if everyone's paycheck gets automatically deposited into some dude's credit fund and the government guarantees the deposits if the fund manager makes a mistake? Oh, and he gets to take management fees every year and faces no consequences if it blows up.
