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

Interesting pattern in the quantum FUD wave. Y2K vibes or what?
Quantum FUD feels like it's everywhere. So we measured it: → 392 mentions (up 87.6%) → Only 25% negative → 55% neutral → 15% positive Volume exploded but negativity didn't. Is thee panic louder than the actual coverage?

Forbes published 170 Bitcoin articles in February. By December, they're barely covering it. The outlet that once led coverage is going quiet. Someone explain this.

Torrenting still exists and almost nobody uses it because Spotify made paying for music easier than stealing it and that's the whole lesson for Bitcoin adoption

The Bitcoin adoption fantasy goes like this: "Billions of unbanked people in developing countries will leapfrog straight to self-custody because they need sound money more than anyone" The reality is that privileged Westerners who already understood finance and technology took

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.

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.

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%.
