I have been saying that for years not only when the price drops. I don’t care if it drops. I am building, earning and spending bitcoin. I want it to be money. Everyone can do what they want, and I can say what I want. Bitcoin will resist it, but only if people hold their keys and this is definitely not the message of Saylor and Co.

Well, the problem is that when constructs like Saylors or Black Rocks holdings are getting immensely high, they could capture Bitcoin’s development and these companies are interested in regulating bitcoin for their purposes. They have the money and the lobby to keep it captured in the financial system. Then you have a fully KYCed bitcoin and even more a censorable bitcoin.

What I am saying is, if you hold derivatives/shares/ETFs of bitcoin you are not owning bitcoin. Only if you self-custody you opt out of the exclusive and permissioned fiat power system. What Saylor and many others are doing and what many Bitcoiners praise is „number go up“ only. This is not why I am using bitcoin. And I am trying to make people understand the difference.
He himself said he is the central bank of bitcoin. I didn’t make that up.

Do you have any that he did? He claims to be the central bank of bitcoin! 🙄

…and they made him the conference’s 2026 headliner - for the 4th time!

Paper Bitcoin are an attack on Bitcoin.

While the bots are going crazy, we humans connect IRL.
@npub1dk4at..., Bitcoin Tofo (Mozambique), @npub1xxcyz... (Zambia), and @npub1vpqxy... (Ghana). They are pioneers doing grassroots education in their communities and we @npub1fqqtc... are proud to have been supporting all of them.

You can find it on the Adopting Bitcoin YouTube livestream.

Most „Bitcoiners“ don’t understand this. Bitcoin is not unstoppable in that sense, it can be captured. Yes, then there will be a fork someday. But it will hurt, a lot of value will be destroyed.
@nevent1qqs...

Thanks, know all of them. Definitely interesting.

Private AI, Bitchat, Nostr, .. why are you asking?

@npub1ju2sw... „When people see that Bitcoin isn’t just something to learn about or hold, but something they can actually use to pay for goods, services, or support their communities, adoption shifts from theory to lived reality.“
