Guys, I’m married to a man whose family helped build the futures industry. If I had a satoshi for every time he has explained to me how BTC futures are great for adoption, I’d be as rich as Satoshi…
It’s not intuitive but he knows what he’s talking about
Meet our friend Thomas, who is homeless. He was bemoaning that no one carries cash to donate. So we set him up with a
#Bitcoin
wallet. Feel free to send him a few sats 😀
We just lost our business bank account because we invested in the cannabis industry. We're accredited investors with excellent credit ratings. Doesn't matter. Can't touch cannabis because it's a Schedule 1 drug (like heroin, meth & cocaine) according to US federal laws. Idiocracy

Especially like this part 😁
My 2018:
Send the last of 6 kids to college
Retire in the mountains
Wow, this is paradise!
Ugh, retirement is boring
Hey let’s buy this local cannabis biz!
6 onerous months later: still waiting for gov’t approval
2019: come by our dispensaries - we accept BTC!
Happy New Year fam
If you were curious how long it would take for scammers to try to use El Salvador accepting Bitcoin as legal tender to try to scam local government officials....
It was about a week.
Happy Birthday to

One rich man tweeting something (false and uninformed) that nearly tanks a market for a technology the world needs—just another example of how important decentralization is

This is me using
@ln_strike
in our Boulder store: buying a 10-cent product with the app over the Lightning Network; bitcoin instantly received in our store's Zap wallet. No bitcoin required on my end, just my debit card. No fees! And no cap-gains tax on the purchase. Brilliant!
I can't believe all the
#LightningNetwork
FUD lately. Negative posts by people (and then MSM) who have no idea what they're talking about, or have an agenda to promote what they think is a competing protocol.
LN works beautifully as

A major bank that we've had a family/business relationship with for 40 years just closed our account because we wrote a $9000 check to our LLC in April when trying to find emergency cash to keep our companies alive during COVID...

I never in my craziest dreams imagined there would be a new premium strain of cannabis named after me. Meet Brookie’s Cookies 😍

In 2014, at the Texas Bitcoin Conference,
@aantonop
told me that these early
#Bitcoin
conferences felt like early Internet conferences. They started with 200-600 people and then within 5-10 years there were 30-50k in attendance....
My favorite part: "This mimblewimble system was originally proposed in the form of a text document...published on a tor hidden service & dread-dropped on an IRC channel about a year and a half ago...The author just dropped it, signed off a minute later and has never come back..."
"We’re a spacefaring digital society and we’re still using a yellow metal as our non-sovereign store of value. At some point, we’re going to come up with a better technology for that. And bitcoin is the first candidate..." -

Thanks to all of you who have been creating and building on this platform. You have enabled

to fulfill its early promise of a global payment network for all humans
Our 22yo daughter a few days ago: “This is the most surreal thing that’s ever happened in my lifetime!”
This is the most unreal thing that has happened in the lifetime of *anyone* who is alive
“But bitcoin is worthless, it has no intrinsic value...”
🙄
Fiat money is worth something because a central authority says it’s worth something. No intrinsic value.
Bitcoin is worth something because *we* say it’s worth something. No intrinsic value.
I’m banking on *us*.
Just bought this painting via
@ln_strike
. I sent USD from my linked bank account. Art dealer opted to receive the payment in
#bitcoin
. On-chain fee was negligible. Win win!
Thomas is in total shock & is going to use the money to get a scooter so he can go to work. He says these donations have changed his life. Thank you, bitcoiners 🧡
My husband wore his "We are all Satoshi (except Craig Wright)" shirt today, and as we left the house I said, "I wonder if we'll ever run into someone in public who *gets* your t-shirt."
Well, today we had a winner. Great to meet you
