Terra buying $1 billion of

is no different than Tesla, MicroStrategy, and El Salvador buying it. Bolstering their reserve profiles with the digital asset class’ reserve currency. Many will follow.

I just sold the Layered Money translation rights in Swahili, Zulu, Yoruba, and many other African languages to a young man in South Africa for 10,000 sats (~$3, Lightning).

Today I give my new students their first sats! For homework, they must send me a receive address, I send them 5,000 sats, and they send me back 2,000. On-chain, low fee, must use a block explorer to note down the block height of each transaction. Will teach Lightning next!

My biggest struggle with noobs is trying to get them to avoid altcoins. Even if they know you can buy a fraction of a bitcoin. I now use this:

I come from the era when you had to:
1) download mp3s at 2kb/s
2) sometimes, after days, would have to delete bc shitty version
3) buy 50-pack blank cds
4) carefully plan and write some dope mix cds
5) enjoy on discman/car

Tonight, she goes “it starts with a J”
I said “jammies?”
“No, hint is it’s getting weaker”
I said “Japanese yen???”
She goes “YES”

How a market works:
Only those who have bitcoin can set the price by selling. If there are no sellers, price will rise to attract sellers.
Sellers always exist, but the cool thing about bitcoin is how gappy the price gets trying to find them. Bitcoiners are crazy.

Gold is up exactly zero percent over the last 12 years. Be careful out there with gold narratives; they are stale and misleading.
Gold is and always will be "beautiful" but has been replaced by 1s and 0s (bitcoin) from a monetary perspective (apolitical money).
