That's true-- I've known Peter since 1995, which was the last year that I was wealthier than Peter. We met at the famous Rene Girard seminar at Stanford University. I helped Peter launch and grow Clarium Capital from $50 million in 2003 to $2 billion in 2006 when I left. This isn't a secret and is widely known. For full disclosure, I was also an early investor in Palantir in 2005 and sold the remainder of my shares after the IPO unlock in 2021 and put the money into Bitcoin. None of this is a secret. I have a successful TradFi background, which made my trading courses and my current perspectives a unique offering. Today I condemn Palantir absolutely and wish that I had never invested. It's the most evil and dangerous corporation in the world, but it was a different world back in 2005 and I was a normie back then, who was dumb enough to believe that the company was set up to help prevent another 9/11. I knew that the CIA's investment arm had invested in it, but for some reason didn't think that was a big deal. For full disclosure, I haven't been on Peter's payroll since 2006, and I haven't communicated with him in over 2 years. You may have missed the fact that I've attacked numerous Peter Thiel shitcoin projects since 2019, most recently including Citrea. Peter is probably the smartest person that I've ever met, but has taken a very non-libertarian turn over the past few decades that I do not support. If I'm such a bad actor, why were you publishing my articles on TFTC? https://www.tftc.io/understanding-bitcoin-seed-security/

Honest question and just trying to understand both sides. If bitcoin is the hardest form of money ever known to man, which I believe it is, why do you sell trading courses that encourage participation in the casino and thus support it? Shouldn’t you be encouraging people to just stack at all lev...

These are my favorite Mad Kratter vlogs, watching you slowly but surely ostracise yourself from everyone but a few hundred Knotzis. Keep going, you're doing great 👍🏼

You encapsulated what has been bothering me over the last year. Odell was one of my faves and must be the reason I am even sending this note on nostr right now. But him having no strong public opinion on the unfolding mess over the past few years doesn't make sense when he is so hardcore on other th...

F2Pool already knows that having their blocks rejected by a bunch of non-economic nodes will have exactly zero effect upon their business.

Run a node for less than $100 by running a pruned node. Electrum and Lightning are overrated in my opinion. Do IBD once, make backup snapshots, and you never need to again. Verify your wallet whenever you feel like it with: bitcoin-cli gettxout <txid> <vout> My node, my rules. But no matter how y...

Everyone claims to be anti-spam, but their attitudes remain passive. RDTS/BIP-110 is a real reaction coming from the active anti-spam side. In contrast, the passive anti-spam crowd only reacts to the active anti-spam people, not to the spam itself

My understanding is that if there is CSAM already on the ledger then here in the UK running a node is highly likely to make you liable to criminal prosecution. Running Knots will not remove this potential liability as you will process those images during the initial download. The only way I can se...

Great material. Although a pruned node as "castrated" is a fairly strong position. Pruned nodes make snapshots and never have to do IBD again. The white paper included pruning for a reason and in the long, long run all nodes will eventually be pruned. Electrum servers and lightning channels are "ext...
