Lyn Alden: Silicon Valley doesn't get Bitcoin because tech people know the first mover rarely wins. Ask Jeeves didn't win search. MySpace didn't win social. But Bitcoin isn't a regular technology - it's a protocol. And protocols don't get replaced once they win. Internet history is littered with them:...

That’s cute how Lyn thinks Bitcoin has a moat because it is a protocol and assumes that Bitcoin’s protocol has more network adoption than Ethereum… it doesn’t. Ethereum’s protocol is #1 in terms of network adoption, but I am 100% sure Lyn would moved goal posts if you had brought that to her attention. BTC is has won a meme narrative, unsubstantiated by actual protocol adoption, and the 21M cap is unsustainable because of this reality.

The reason tcp, https, smtp, and IP won is because they efficiently achieve the purpose for which they were designed. What was BTC designed to achieve? That's the first question. The second question is, does it do it efficiently? Not sure about either of those answers, but my guess is that people are "disinterested" because BTC hasn't demonstrably answered either question.

Bitcoin doesn’t do anything. TCP, UDP, HTTP, SMTP all do something. Bitcoin has no functionality. It was never going to win the race of utility.

Bitcoin has not won any "protocol races".. The fact that BTC has a 2 trillion dollar MC and is totally not used in institutional transactions is indicative of just a large novelty. In comparison to the actual financial system, where trillions of dollars are moved daily, BTC is a tiny little thing that isn't institutionally scaled at all. Furthermore, it is documented by DARPA that both BTC and ETH are manipulated (Upwards in price) by entities that control more than 50% of the hash rate/validators. Ergo, it's price is the result of a few large entities exchanging large sums for zero gain, creating the illusion of deeply liquid markets. But in reality, it's just the interested parties kicking the same BTC's back and forth to manipulate the price upwards, because it's in their interest to do so.

This little girl doesn’t understand the dynamics of technology and the finance replacement system that’s coming in through XRP settlement features this whole bitcoin maxi thing is really pathetic. It’s only used case is a store of value. You cannot tokenize. You cannot use it for settlement. It is extremely slow and extremely expensive. She’s either being paid to talk negatively about other alt coins or she just doesn’t know and she’s plainly stupid. I work for Wall Street for over 10 years and some of the biggest firms and even then we were testing pilots and platforms through web objects and there were rumors of a Blockchain system that was going to supersede bitcoin XRP is it either get it you don’t get it, but don’t talk like you know when you don’t know you sound really stupid. Sorry to be blunt with the whole narrative of bitcoin being the chosen one is just plain bullshit.

Strong point but worth pushing back a little. TCP/IP won and stuck, sure, but plenty of protocols got replaced when the switching cost was low enough. The real question is whether Bitcoin's switching cost stays high forever or just for now.

Why would a test project win the race? The only reason why it went up was because of Epsteins push through human trafficking, drugs, illicit activities. Once Clarity act is enacted, btc goes down the shitter.

Bitcoin has no token standards like Ethereum does. Bitcoin will be replaced in the near future by Ethereum. Dont believe the hype around Bitcoin. Focus on what matters, token standards and stablecoins, asset tokenization (Ondo).

She’s right………and she’s wrong. Yes. Bitcoin isn’t a tech. It’s a protocol. But no. It hasn’t won. That’s still being decided. What exactly has Bitcoin “the network” won? 🤔

Inflation isn’t a mistake. It’s policy. But Bitcoin is an engineered exit. In this episode, we sit down with Lyn Alden (Lyn Alden) — author of Broken Money and one of the most respected voices on macro, monetary history, and Bitcoin. She connects today’s system to the 1920s–1940s cycle — and what it signals for the decade ahead. The system requires ongoing debasement to function. We cover: • Why the 2020s mirror the 1940s, and what to expect as a result in the decade ahead • Why debt-based systems structurally lead to inflation • How the system shifts private debt to the public • Why central banks have been accumulating gold since 2009 • The weakening demand for treasuries — and what it actually signals • What a multipolar reserve system is and why it's already emerging • How inflation works against savers and wage earners • The tradeoffs of deflation • Why scarce assets are the only protection against inflation • How Bitcoin combines gold-like scarcity with modern settlement • What Bitcoin still needs in order to become a global reserve asset If you think in first principles — start here. If you want to better understand money, inflation, and where this system is heading — also start here. Thank you to Lyn for joining us. Follow her: X: Lyn Alden Website: Highlights: 0:00 If the 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s mirror the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s respectively… what comes next? 7:52 Implications of continued debasement 9:14 Why there's 325x more broad money per person 12:53 Why deflation can be positive 19:08 Current policy encourages consumption.

Anthony Kim says it’s special to win as a team for the first time and DJ promised he’d buy the 4Aces a private plane soon: “Yeah, it was my first time, obviously, in that situation where we had a chance to win. I think it was the second-to-last hole when DJ and I were playing together, I thought that we were up one, and I had a 10-footer, and it actually meant a little bit more than just moving up the leaderboard a little bit. “To win with these guys is pretty special, and I look forward to doing it a lot more.” “I was straight trash the first year and a half I played. But yeah, I felt my game was getting better, and I think I had a couple different teams I could go to. I didn't think they were the right fit. “I've known DJ for a long time, developed a great relationship with Thomas Pieters and got to play with Tom Detry in Riyadh. I knew it was a good fit. I couldn't be more excited to be on the 4Aces, and for us to pop off a win is nice. “DJ said he was going to get us a private plane soon (smiling).” In his first 3 events since qualifying back to the LIV Golf League via the Promotions Events AK has an individual win and a team win. So does he find it all a bit surreal? “After Adelaide, the first couple days seemed pretty surreal. Obviously we all play to win, right? But now with LIV Golf, there's two elements. You get to win with three other guys that you're battling with. This is pretty special. “Obviously I didn't have my best. DJ didn't have his best this week. But both Thomases played well. This seems more real, right? “But when we're top 4 and we win the team title, that'll be nice. But it's been a great ride. I know if I didn't make that putt, I'm probably not sitting here with these guys. But I put in the work, and I'm going to keep putting in the work.” AK and the 4Aces now head to LIV Golf Singapore for the 2nd event of a 3 week stretch. Anthony Kim 4Aces GC LIV Golf

every game you play expecting your jungler to help is a game you already lost let me explain you're playing a 1v1. that's it. you and the enemy laner. everything else is noise if you NEED a gank to win lane you don't deserve to win lane the best players in the world? they play like they're alone. every game. they assume no help is coming. they ward for themselves. they track jungle themselves. they win lane themselves then when a gank comes it's a bonus. not a rescue you're playing the opposite way you're losing lane and praying for intervention. that's not a strategy. that's a lottery ticket here's what happens when you rely on your jungler: he ganks and you win? you learned nothing. you didn't win lane. he did he doesn't gank and you lose? you tilt. you flame. you blame. you learn nothing again either way you stay hardstuck because your rank isn't built on wins. it's built on skill. and skill comes from solving problems yourself not having someone else solve them for you here's the mindset shift: jungle is rng. sometimes you get camped. sometimes you get ignored. you can't control it what you CAN control is whether you win lane without help make that the standard. not the exception play every lane like your jungler is afk. ward like no one's watching your back. track like your life depends on it. because it does the players who climb aren't the ones who get the most ganks they're the ones who need them the least stop waiting for help become the help Study the Saskio way

Everyone's euphoric about gold and done with #Bitcoin. So I asked Lyn Alden the direct question: which one wins the next two to three years? She owns both. She's owned both for years. But pushed for a pick: "Gun to my head, if I had to say which one I think outperforms, I would say Bitcoin. Because I think that gold is somewhat euphoric at the moment... and I think that sentiment on Bitcoin is somewhat unfairly negative." Her gold logic is more precise than "it's a bubble", she explicitly says it isn't one: "They went from undervalued to somewhere in the ballpark of fairly valued pretty quickly." The problem is what that does to the trade: "I would not be surprised to see precious metals fall 50%. But I would not be surprised to see them grind higher either. The overall asymmetry is not there anymore." Not wrong. Just no longer asymmetric. That's an allocator talking, not a tourist. And her Bitcoin case is the mirror image: "It's been artificially lumped in with the software stocks... correlating with them oddly closely for no particular reason." The treasury-company washout, the quantum FUD, the four-year-cycle test, in her read, worked through: the majority of the pain is behind us. The line that frames it all: "Just because something becomes extreme doesn't mean it's wrong." Nvidia stayed overbought for years because the fundamentals were real. Gold's move is backed. But backed and asymmetric are different things. One asset priced for its advantages. One priced for its fears. She's betting on the one priced for fears.

Jamie Carragher DOESN’T believe Michael Carrick will EVER win the Premier League at Manchester United. Jamie: “Carrick's not gonna win the league with Man United.” Man United fan: “Yeah, and I think it's very easy and very basic to just say that it's like Solskjaer again because, yeah, they both used to play for the club.” “But why is it, you know, Pep at Barcelona is like Solskjaer if you want to be like that.” “But I think you have to look at who Michael Carrick is and what Man United are.” “The biggest reason why Solskjaer didn't win a trophy, he even got to a final, let's not forget, got to tons of semi-finals, finished second in the league, third in the league, the only manager we've had in the last 13 years to win back-to-back top-four finishes.” “The reason we didn't win a trophy is because the squad was a mess. We didn't have a good enough team.” “You know, ask Pep Guardiola, the best manager, Pep's the supposed best manager in the world, but he still spends as much as anyone.” “It's not like he's so good you don't have to spend money.” “We've spent it on the wrong players.” “If we build a squad, as we spoke about before, that actually makes sense, that's coherent, instead of having one manager like Sir Alex that can win the league, you end up with a team that can be managed by multiple different people like Michael Carrick and still be successful.” “You know, it's hard to win the league. We've had how many managers in the last 12 years and none of them have won it.”

“I'm not a huge hater of the institutions. I wasn't a huge hater of altcoins. These institutional products are just kind of altcoins. People can go make their money. Go do your thing. But it's not Bitcoin. An ETF is not Bitcoin. With these centralized projects, you're not getting the core values of Bitcoin, the control, the censorship resistance, the privacy. You're putting it in a centralized wrapper, and if you put Bitcoin in a centralized wrapper, you lose everything that's good about it. It's not Bitcoin. It's just an affinity marketing thing. It's “Hey, you like Bitcoin, go buy my other project." Just like, "Hey you like bitcoin? Go buy my altcoin." It's not the same thing, and I think in many ways it's a step backwards. I don't hate these people, but they certainly shouldn't be celebrated. It's not forwarding our industry if we do treasury strategies, if we do ETFs, we cheer for BlackRock and Cantor. That's a step backwards. It's not something to be cheerful for. It's not a victory, in my opinion. A victory is having more people have direct ownership of real Bitcoin. We now have millions of people who've been onboarded into this fake paper thing that's a claim on a claim on a claim of something that has Bitcoin in the words, but it's not actually Bitcoin. They are never actually holding a wallet like many of us did back in 2012 where somebody sent us that first dollar and you say, "Wow, this is cool. I didn't need to give my ID and I'm able to control and hold this sound money for the first time." You now have a whole generation of millions of people that don't have that. They have some junk fiat product sitting like sludge on their centralized brokerage account at the centralized clearing firm, traded on a centralized exchange, with a centralized transfer agent, and a centralized custodian, and they have to trust six levels of people on a claim for something that has the word ‘Bitcoin’ in it. It's not a victory. It's not a step forward. I don't think it's something that should be celebrated at all.”

FAREWELL JEEVES, WE DIDN’T KNOW YOU WERE STILL AROUND. The Rise and Fall of Ask Jeeves: An Internet Pioneer Says Goodbye Back in the late 1990s, one search engine stood out with its friendly butler mascot and a simple promise: just type your question in plain English. Herr is the interesting part, I always thought this site would be the perfect site for AI answers. In fact I wrote a letter to the company in 2004 I preposed 45 AI subjects to start with using my expert system technology. There was a lot of interest but they got sold. Ask Jeeves launched in 1997 and quickly became a beloved part of the early web. Founded in 1996 by Garrett Gruener and David Warthen in Berkeley, California, Ask Jeeves aimed to make the internet feel personal. Jeeves, inspired by the helpful valet from literature, was marketed as the world’s first internet butler. Early TV commercials from 1999 introduced him to millions. During the dot-com boom, Ask Jeeves soared in popularity. It went public in 1999, survived the bust, and acquired better search tech like Teoma in 2001. Those quirky ads with Jeeves helping users find answers to odd questions captured the fun spirit of the early internet. In 2005, IAC acquired the company for about 1.85 billion dollars. By 2006, they dropped the Jeeves name and mascot, rebranding simply as The focus shifted away from the butler toward more standard search and later question and answer formats. Over time, competition from Google proved too strong. pivoted to user generated question and answer content but saw its traffic decline. It lingered for years as a nostalgic remnant of the old web, no longer a major player in search. Then, on May 1, 2026, the end came. Parent company IAC announced it was shutting down its search business entirely. The homepage now features a farewell: Every great search must come to an end. After nearly 30 years of answering the world’s questions, has closed. The message thanks users and the team, ending with Jeeves spirit endures. The shutdown marks the end of one of the internet’s earliest and most memorable search engines. It pioneered natural language search long before today’s AI assistants made asking questions cool again. Ask Jeeves may be gone, but it leaves behind a legacy of making the web more approachable. It reminds us of a time when search felt fun and human. Today you could have been a contender…

Most people think about Bitcoin treasury companies incorrectly Here is why I think they are good for Bitcoin & why they are misunderstood: 1) Treasury companies are capitalizing the Bitcoin industry for a century to come 2) They are future Bitcoin Banks 3) However, they are developing in the reverse order compared to everything else - monetization first and then later on core business activities -- Bitcoin has traditionally received $1 for every $100 in funds that Crypto took in - it has historically been challenging to raise money for Bitcoin focused businesses. My view is that Treasury companies are changing this, and while the first phase will simply be acquiring as much Bitcoin as possible - they will later need to ensure the value of Bitcoin grows and find ways to use BTC as capital in a larger marketplace. These firms will become the future Bitcoin Banks and also Bitcoin conglomerates. In this exact moment in time the best use of capital is simply buying Bitcoin. It's hard to meaningfully outperform BTC, and as such all these businesses will do for a while is acquire BTC. But eventually that shifts, and these firms will see more incentive to both grow and deploy Bitcoin. They then will provide capital which, among other things, supports Bitcoin businesses and projects. Many people struggle to contextualize the current "land rush" phase with what will come later. You need to take a longer view to understand these firms. The order of operations is also reversed here. Typically you build a business or technology and then as a final step monetize it via an IPO. With Bitcoin, stage 1 is looking more like direct monetization prior to creating value via products, etc. This is deeply counter intuitive to many people in traditional finance, and also to many Bitcoiners. However, because Bitcoin is primarily money at a base level it makes sense the developmental path it is taking differs significantly from other tech. The amount of time it will take for other investors to understand this presents an opportunity for those who see it sooner. More thoughts below 👇
