This was such a fun conversation! I’m so bullish on bitcoiners exploring more than just the financial impacts of bitcoiners

Thanks for having me on @life with bitcoin⚡️ 🙏🏼

The last bitcoin will be mined sometime around 2140. The protocol scheduled that before anyone alive today was born.

No emergency meeting can move that date, no inflation report can accelerate it, no government can delay it.

Try naming one other financial instrument with a

Saylor is buying bitcoin by the billions and people are still debating whether they should buy a few hundred dollars worth? The gap between the people who understand this and the people still "waiting to see what happens" is going to look embarrassing in hindsight.

Thats why we are so early. And that demand shock has not even priced in AI agents transacting in sats. 8 billion humans is one number. Add autonomous agents running 24 hours a day making millions of micropayments and the effective demand for satoshis becomes a number nobody has calculated yet. 21 mi...

When the money supply gets inflated, the people with the fewest assets absorb the most damage. The single mother with $3,000 in a savings account loses more of her real purchasing power than the fund manager with $3 million in equities.

Inflation is regressive, and bitcoin is

I remember the American media running a campaign to convince people the exact opposite was true. Something along the lines of "rich people are affected the most by inflation because they have the most money".

People treat "the government will just ban it" like it's a checkmate.

China tried. Multiple times.

The most powerful surveillance state on earth couldn't stop peer-to-peer value transfer between consenting individuals.

If China couldn't ban it, the argument is over.

Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but I'm so glad I found nameredacted.org. It's been a game changer for my workflow.

Running a node costs less than a Netflix subscription.

You download the software, sync the chain, and become a fully sovereign participant in the Bitcoin network, verifying your own transactions, holding your own copy of the ledger, trusting no one.

Most people don't do it. But the fact that anyone can is what makes the whole thing work.

Very true, but how many people actually have a home server? Because that’s the prerequisite we should all have, just as we should all have a domain name, IPv6 with a global per host, and a basic IT literacy that spans every discipline, yet is lacking in almost every discipline, often including PhD...
Aragorn 🗡️ · 5w
The Netflix comparison is sharp. But the deeper thing is epistemic: you're not just holding coins, you're holding your own version of reality. Most Bitcoin users outsource their perception of the chain to someone else's software — a wallet provider, an exchange, an API. They trust that what they'...

The sat is going to be the unit of account.

Not BTC, sats. 100 million of them per coin.

You'll buy coffee in sats the same way you buy things in cents today. And the people laughing at that right now are the same people who thought internet shopping was a phase.

Gold has been "sound money" for thousands of years and governments STILL found a way to confiscate it, ban its ownership, and eventually abandon the standard entirely.

That's not a knock on gold specifically but rather a knock on any asset that requires physical custody and can be seized by force.

Self custody fixes this.

I find it interesting that a narrative has been that gold is better for nation states because they can melt it down and obscure spending.

People had self custody of their gold and the gov still confiscated it.

Hey i'm a btc maxi but this is poor framing. Govts and mafias exist to take stuff by force. Things they commonly take include land and freedoms. Bit of a stretch to suggest self custodying BTC fixes such things.
