Bitcoin doesn't break under pressure but it exposes who misunderstands it. It has outlasted every personality convinced it should bend to their will. Gavin, Hearn, Ver, Craig,... and it will outlast spam too. Don't let theatrical panic bait you into a purity chain split built on arguments that dissolve... show more

Crypto has a Bitcoin Ideologue Problem. They believe Bitcoin should have special government treatment. It's all ultimately grounded in their fear that their exit money will flow away from Bitcoin into other digital assets. They disguise it with the absurd idea of Bitcoin's immaculate conception. Here's a thread on the guy who got Senator Cynthia Lummis into Bitcoin. His own words and retweets. This is who she learned from. You won't wonder why she won't even give Brad Garlinghouse a meeting after this. Our politicians need to promote innovation and free markets, not ideologies. Eleanor Terrett PaulBarron Cowboy.Crypto I want all digital assets including Bitcoin to succeed on a level regulatory playing field. Free market competition built this country. I welcome it but no digital asset should be given government granted advantages over others.

Just finished listening to Mechanic #BIP-110 's break down the spam attack vector and what he lays out is disturbing, not just technically but philosophically. Here’s the short version. Some entities are exploiting a loophole in Bitcoin’s design. They are not using inscriptions, not using op_return, but instead creating fake pubkeys to store arbitrary data on-chain. It sits in a kind of sweet spot. Not big enough to trigger current filters in Core, but damaging enough to bloat the UTXO set and push out regular node runners. And somehow the conversation has shifted. Instead of defending Bitcoin’s core purpose, some dev voices are floating the idea that we should work with the spammers. That maybe if we remove the remaining filters, the abuse will become more manageable. This is a bizarre and dangerous line of thinking. Bitcoin was never built to serve as a data dumpster. It was built to be money. Sound, verifiable, scarce. When we start redesigning Bitcoin to appease people who are actively trying to harm it, we lose the very thing that gave it credibility. Mechanic calls it out plainly. The same people who claim filters do nothing are suddenly demanding we remove them to help the spammers. It is a contradiction. A bait-and-switch. Break the protocol, then use the damage as leverage to weaken it further. This is not how strong systems survive. If we bend Bitcoin every time someone finds a way to abuse it, then it is no longer something we can trust. It becomes something we constantly have to defend through negotiation. I did not opt into Bitcoin to negotiate with attackers. I opted in because it was resilient. Because it does not ask for permission. Because it stands firm even when pressure mounts. Mechanic is not just pointing out a technical issue. He is warning us that the cultural drift inside Bitcoin is real. If we let short-term convenience take precedence over long-term integrity, we will get something very different than what we came here for. Watch the interview. Think about where this path leads.

🚨Governor DeSantis gives commencement at Ave Maria Catholic University and shares his faith in Jesus Christ “We share a faith that is over 2,000 years old. It represents a fixed reality of who God is and what God has done above all in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. You think of the early Christians as a persecuted sect in a pagan empire, and yet the faith has outlasted the Roman empire. It spread the barbarian cultures, it survived skepticism during the Enlightenment, and it has even survived under very brutal totalitarian regimes. The faith does not depend on what is fashionable or who holds power. It is, in fact, the truth that ultimately will set you free.”

People ask me all the time, "Oliver, how can you be sure #btc is going past $100k this cycle?" It's simple: history. It's happened every single time in #bitcoin history, so why should I have more faith in what has never happened? In fact, I will eat my shoe 👟 right here on X live if it doesn't. Just bookmark this post and hold me to it. You'll be doing it for nothing, but that's ok. Do it anyway. 😁 #stackharder

"Bitcoin is a narrative. It will always be a narrative. And that's its moat." Jordi Visser (Jordi Visser) on why Bitcoin survives every bear market and what's actually holding it back right now: "It has a moat because belief is harder than fundamentals. Fundamentals come and go. Belief systems don't." "It's survived many, many bear markets. It's in the stage of long-term acceptance now." "The problem is simple: it needs money. And right now the money is going somewhere else." Translation: Bitcoin's strength isn't a cash flow or a fundamental you can model, it's belief, and belief is harder to kill than any balance sheet. That's why it keeps surviving. But belief doesn't move price on its own. It needs capital flowing in, and in a market where AI is absorbing every available dollar, that's the one thing Bitcoin isn't getting yet. Belief keeps it alive. Money makes it move. Which one are you betting shows up first? Jordi Visser: BTC is a narrative, it will always be a narrative. Its in the stage of a long term acceptance, the problem is, it needs money.

Tucker Carlson says he’s convinced the CIA created Bitcoin, and that’s exactly why he refuses to invest in it or use it. He warns that Bitcoin will one day turn into a massive scam, controlled by a shadowy network of elites who manipulate politicians to tighten their grip on America. Carlson says coming from a government family makes him certain that the mysterious, anonymous founder is proof it all traces back to the CIA.

Michael Saylor just went on Natalie Brunell’s show to map out the next decade of Bitcoin Treasury Companies. He didn’t sugarcoat it: fortunes will be made, mistakes will be brutal, and chaos is guaranteed. But within this volatile period, he laid out how Bitcoin is maturing into the world’s best collateral and why credit markets will be rebuilt on top of it. Here’s the breakdown (with my added commentary): A 🧵:

"You remained silent on concerning issues that needed your voice under the previous government, but now you are suddenly being vocal. We will never cancel Free Education; it has come to stay. Even if the government cannot fund it, it should create a special tax for that, and we will pay." - Dormaahene shades Asantehene over his suggestion for a review of the Free SHS.

So, does it matter that Bitcoin seems to be moving away from its cypherpunk roots? Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin Treasuries have taken BTC mainstream. So I asked Saifedean Ammous this very question. His answer might surprise you... 👀👇 "If you have very strong feelings about how people should and shouldn't use Bitcoin, you're in for a rough time." "To be honest, a lot of people project too much onto Bitcoin. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of software and anybody can use it in any way they want. Initially, it's a small subset of people that use it and then they start projecting their values onto it. And then over time, they expect it to continue to abide by that," Ammous said. "If it's a successful technology, it's going to be used by everybody. It's going to be used by small businesses, large businesses, governments, individuals. It's money. Everybody uses money. There are 8.5 billion people on Earth, they all use money and they're all going to continue to use money. And Bitcoin is just the best money." Ultimately, the protocol itself is immune to the financial instruments that TradFi has concocted. If people want to lend against their BTC or create complex financial products, that does not actually impact the underlying network. "The way that the protocol works is that it's completely blind to what you're doing with your coins on the Bitcoin blockchain there is no paper Bitcoin there's no such thing as paper Bitcoin there's only 21 million Bitcoin and every node makes sure of that every 10 minutes and then if somebody who has some of these Bitcoin on their private key decides to sell obligations or financial liabilities referring to that Bitcoin under any condition, that's their choice. It's outside of Bitcoin and it's outside of the realm of other Bitcoin users being able to say this is right or wrong and this should happen or shouldn't happen. People are going to do whatever they want with the Bitcoin, including selling access to it or exposure to it in all kinds of different ways. And if you don't like it, you don't buy it, you can stack your own Bitcoin." You can find the full interview for Cointelegraph in the 🧵.

Too many athletes spend hours training their bodies—but neglect the mind and emotions that command it. Strength without strategy is wasted. Talent without temperance is dangerous. The mental and emotional game is the difference between winning and unraveling under pressure. Just because it’s harder to master doesn’t mean you skip it—it means you train it harder. Because in the moments that matter most, muscles won’t save you, self-control will.

One of the most frightening videos you will ever see — and it should be a wake-up call to those who support “multiculturalism” over assimilation. The young girl indoctrinated into the Islamic faith supports Sharia law — but ONLY while it remains illegal in Australia. It follows that she will vote for political parties that want to change Australian law. And when they have the numbers, Sharia law will be introduced into Australia. The question Australians must face is this: Should we be importing people into our nation who support Sharia law and will seek to change Australia and introduce it? And are there enough brave Australians who will speak out on this issue before it’s too late?

#WATCH | On market crash after #UnionBudget, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey says, "...Share market doesn't decide much...Customs used to trouble air passengers. Several things have been made exempt and duty has been reduced from 20% to 10%. For aircraft manufacturing here, we have provided ample rebate on components. So, share market will react on it tomorrow. If it is 2000 points down right now, it will rise a little later. Since investment has to be brought in, banking sector reforms are there too. What you are pointing out in the share market is a matter of STT (Securities Transaction Tax)...It is just a little pressure on players who play with loopholes in share market and it is due to STT. I think it will recover tomorrow."

🔥THE ANTI-SAYLOR BITCOINERS HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS🔥 Bitcoiners spent 15 years screaming “BUY BITCOIN” into the void. Then Michael Saylor heard them, walked into the capital markets casino with a flamethrower, and started converting fiat clown paper into the hardest asset on Earth at industrial scale. Naturally, half the Bitcoin priesthood had a nervous breakdown. In this video, I break down the absurd anti-Saylor meltdown, the fake “centralization” panic, the hilarious double standard around large Bitcoin holders, and why Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation is exactly what winning looks like. A public company buying Bitcoin from willing sellers at market prices does not break Bitcoin. It breaks the brains of people who wanted Bitcoin to win, but only slowly, politely, and in a way that preserved their status as conference goblins with self-custody affiliate links. Bitcoin does not care who buys it. Individuals. Companies. Institutions. Sovereign wealth funds. Pension funds. Weird libertarians in cargo shorts. Anyone can buy. That is the whole point. The anti-Saylor Bitcoiners have lost their minds:

Not every day is going to be a good day. But every day has something good in it. The challenges you face will test you. Focus on the positives, learn from the adversity, and keep moving forward. That's how resilience is built.

This is how real Polymarket empires are built. Everyone is still looking for that one Claude setup that will change their life. I keep thinking that vibe coding does nothing, and instead of wasting time, I build a real product. While you believe it’s impossible to trade arbitrage on five-minute markets, MANUAL CODE can do it. I have already connected data on: - Current Bitcoin price. - Live five-minute pool odds. - Real-time order book. In test mode, the results are already promising. I’m waiting for the next stages of validation, and then it can be launched as a bot with market-based calls. Should I publish this?
