Are We “Censoring” Spam?

There is a massive miscommunication tearing Bitcoiners apart right now. Instead of arguing over specific code like BIP 110, I want to ask a much harder question in this solo take: Is it actually censorship to address spam? I’ll explain why prioritizing financial transactions over JPEGs isn’t authoritarianism, and why claiming it is destroys our […]

Read_948 – The Battle for Monetary Independence

“Your savings represent hours you worked, risks you accepted, businesses you built, time spent away from people you love, and consumption you postponed for the sake of the future. When the monetary system allows others to dilute those savings without your consent, it weakens your claim on that future. Bitcoin offers a peaceful alternative, giving […]

CBDCs are Coming (And the Bitcoin Exit Awaits)

I walk through the global push for Central Bank Digital Currencies, why voluntary rollouts have mostly flopped, and what governments really gain from programmable, fully surveilled money. I dig into the upcoming digital euro, the U.S. Senate’s move against a federal CBDC, and the rise of OpenUSD as an open stablecoin standard. Ultimately I argue […]

Chat_174 – Preparing Bitcoin for an Unknown Future with Hunter Beast

***”I’m almost 99% certain that [BIP] 110 will activate. And not only that, I think there will be a capitulation after October, where if the month of October passes and [BIP] 110 is still not merged by Core devs, it essentially reflects that they are no longer relevant because they failed to be good stewards […]

The Most Important Project in Bitcoin (You probably haven’t heard of)

What is the most important project in Bitcoin? It isn’t BIP 110 or some shiny new payment protocol. We actually have a massive security vulnerability sitting at the base layer: Bitcoin mining isn’t really mining anymore. Right now, we have millions of hashers but barely a handful of real miners deciding what transactions make it […]

Chat_173 – The Time Has Come for Privacy on Bitcoin with Dan Gould

***”I think I got kind of orange-pilled and privacy-pilled in this way when Snowden exposed all this surveillance that was happening by default through every system you’ve ever touched. That’s when I started treating all digital infrastructure as inherently recording devices. They’re trying to take information and, even if someone doesn’t really want or intend […]

What does the woke left TRULY worship?

The extreme left often claims to follow logic and “the science”. But I’ve noticed a glaring pattern that contradicts this. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it. In this Take, I share my thoughts on the “holy trinity” the woke left actually worships. It starts with treating other people’s money like magic. But […]

Roundtable_022 – What if Bitcoin Dies?

The sentiment lately has been total garbage. We’re deep in a bear market, the red candles are stacking up, and people are getting nervous. So, I got the guys back around the table to ask a really uncomfortable question: what happens if Bitcoin actually dies? We keep things pretty casual but talk through some heavy […]

Read_947 – On Overconfidence

“In this X post, I said I don’t know the consequences of BIP-110. Plenty of people called that incompetent, cowardly, or both. Others praised it as humility. It’s neither. It’s just true. I don’t know the consequences, and here’s my claim. Neither do you.” ~ Jimmy Song I am reading Jimmy Song’s latest piece and […]

Chat_172 – Sovereign Devices in a Subscription World with Harald Schäfer

“comma develops open source ADAS software. You can call it self-driving software, but currently what we ship is something where the user is supposed to pay attention all the time.” “We want the software to be open source so that people have full control. The hardware is something you have root on. We don’t have […]

10.5 Million Bitcoin Underwater: Is This THE Bottom?

Over 10.5 million Bitcoin are currently underwater. Everyone is panicking about a grueling bear market, but I see things differently. In today’s Take, I explain why this recent drop actually signals deep liquidity and a historically accurate market bottom. The traditional four-year cycle is breaking. And as the national debt keeps doubling and the fiat […]

Why Elon’s Trillion = Carnegie’s Millions (The Fiat Illusion Exposed)

Elon Musk is officially a trillionaire. Naturally, people are calling it yet another failure of capitalism, and I’m calling BS. I compared his wealth to Andrew Carnegie’s fortune. On paper, Musk’s number looks insane, but when you measure them against the total money supply of their eras, the truth completely flips. I believe we aren’t […]
