The day Swedish police raided The Pirate Bay I was sitting in an office at Universal Music in Norway. Everyone thought it was a turning point. Bunch of cops, every server seized. Done. Three days later the site was back online with a logo of a pirate ship firing at

Probably the biggest reason that Bitcoin is not further along in its journey already: Those who've been talking (to retail, corporates, sovereign funds) are delivering the message that orange-pilled them, not the message that orangepills Bitcoin future adoptors.
The worst thing for Bitcoin adoption is Bitcoiners. We're totally right about the fundamentals but we've built an entire culture around narratives that only work on people exactly like us and we don't realize it. The arguments that orange pilled you worked because you had the

learning can become a dangerous form of procrastination. you spend all day inside reading books, watching lectures, listening to podcasts, but never step outside and put it to use. knowledge requires reality. without it, it's just trivia.

Market similar to Feb, price below 50 EMA (1), difference, low volume (2) vs Feb vol > 50 MA (3), selling followed. Lighter vol indicates a shakeout vs reversal. Weak investors selling prior to advancing well above ATHs, this is healthy. Still waiting on a followthrough day (4).

The narratives about Bitcoiners recreating ancient societies and overthrowing governments and returning to some pre-modern order are JOKES + have absolutely nothing to do with getting normal people to use Bitcoin. It's fan fiction for people who already believe and it actively

Real product validation is when someone tells you they used @BTCPerception data in an investor update. That's the one deck where everything fake gets cut and only the useful stuff survives. Just got that DM and it made my week.

Honestly think tech/smartphones killed national identity faster than any war could have. 20 years ago moving to a new country meant BECOMING that country because all the information you received was local and all your relationships were local and your whole reality was the place

Argentina has no identity crisis because Argentina knows exactly what it is even when what it is happens to be a disaster. Argentines will tell you immediately what makes them Argentine and they'll be proud of it and that clarity is worth more than most people realize. The

Bitcoin X thinks the enemy is central bankers and fiat and legacy finance but the actual enemy is UX. Every person who opened a Bitcoin app and got confused and closed it and never came back is a loss and it happens thousands of times a day while we argue about protocol

funny how those who want to stop progress the most label themselves "progressive"
I will be pushing for a moratorium on the construction of data centers that are powering the unregulated sprint to develop & deploy AI. The moratorium will give democracy a chance to catch up, and ensure that the benefits of technology work for all of us, not just the 1%.

The best thing that could happen to Bitcoin is mass retirement of everyone who thinks mass adoption means mass education. Nobody wants to be educated they want to send money to their kid in another country without losing 15% to fees and they want it to work the first time

The uncomfortable truth about immigration is that integration requires something to integrate into and the West has spent fifty years deliberately dismantling anything that could serve that function. You can't ask immigrants to adopt your values when you've made it taboo to say

I have trouble understanding this and can't help but think this is a classic case of overthinking it you are holding a predictable inflationary asset against the most unpredictable inflationary asset which the entire world is running on just that hedge is a baseline W then
IT’S TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADMIT THE CRYPTO MARKET IS BROKEN! At some point we need to admit that something is structurally broken in the crypto market! 2025 was a year with all the necessities for a bull market. We had liquidity, We had a pro-crypto US government. We had
