You may like Bukele more or less, but he has proven one thing: if there is crime in the states, it is because the government in power wants it.

Good morning!

This account will be famous for accurately predicting Bitcoin cycles, and I do not work for Salomon Brothers. - Maximum around 140k (don't ask me for perfection) - Time between late 2025 and early 2026. - From mid-2026 to mid-2028, bear market due to the refinancing of all global debt, which will initially absorb all liquidity. - I'm not going to commit to the minimum. - After this will come the real money printing, which is not now as many think, now there will only be 2 or 3 rate cuts and rates will remain around 3.5%. - I estimate that by 2030 we will be above 200k sustained. This scenario is not like the one the influencers tell you, who have never bothered to study liquidity cycles and the reasons behind things. Post: Halvings do not affect the price of Bitcoin; it is the liquidity cycles that have coincided with the halving so far. Post2: The next bear market will be savage, and the system will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1929 crash. The wall of debt to be refinanced is monstrous. Save this message.

The Bitcoin Core team defending spam after receiving generous donations from Mara Pool.

We are going to be poorer than ever, and you might think, “That doesn't affect me because I save in Bitcoin,” partly because your savings are protected, but your salary in fiat currency is not. As I have often said, the CPI is the great weapon for impoverishing the population, since the CPI is manipulated downward and salaries are indexed to it, so your salary rises at a slower rate than inflation. So, in conclusion, your salary will be worth less and less, and you will end up spending your Bitcoin. Believe me, they have everything very well tied up. It has been clear for years that they would break that fictitious limit of keeping inflation at 2%. The only option to this is to link salaries to hard assets such as gold or Bitcoin, and this is practically impossible today.

Here you have the Bitcoin Core mempool on the left and the Bitcoin Knots mempool on the right. 85,000 transactions vs. 1,640, which means that 98% of transactions are spam or would have been in the past until Core changed the criteria and deliberately broke the spam filters. It was already evident then, and it became even more evident when they never repaired them again since version 25 (if I remember correctly). But don't be confused, it's not about filters or spam, it's about the core team being totally corrupt. I think now in version 30 it's more than evident, and therefore it's about the core developers never facing changes to improve privacy. And privacy is the most important thing.

Good morning!

If the war in Ukraine ends (I'm not so sure about that), what will be the next war in which Peter Todd will take sides and, from his sofa while eating Doritos, call for the annihilation of innocent civilians? I am only certain of one thing: I would obviously choose the CIA's side.

On August 15, 54 years ago, the gold standard was abolished. There is no need to recount what has happened to society since then; anyone who underestimates the importance of money for a society is simply intellectually limited. Money is obviously not everything in life, but it is very important, especially on a social level. But more important than money is freedom, and for freedom to exist, we must have privacy and money that allows for it. We Bitcoiners have fallen asleep and fallen into the trap of ordinals, runnes, filters, and other crap, while privacy in Bitcoin is still in its infancy. The attack has undoubtedly achieved its goal. While we argue about nonsense and use Bitcoin for purposes it was not intended for, the BIS is already thinking about how to classify Bitcoin transactions (tainted Bitcoins), and believe me, they will do it and they will succeed. All this also shows how compromised most Core developers are. They have sold out to the system and have never had any concern for privacy, which leads me to believe that they either don't understand anything or are bad actors. Over the years, I have collaborated on various Bitcoin privacy projects with different nyms, I have also contributed financially to various projects, and I feel that we have not made any progress and that there is nothing more I can do. I am not a genius like many programmers I have met, I am just a humble computer scientist with some crazy ideas, but if there is one thing I have, it is perseverance. I have been fighting for privacy on the internet for more than 25 years and, believe me, things are getting worse. Just look at what the European Union wants to do with chat control, but I will not give up. And I don't want to end this boring wake-up call without mentioning the Bull Bitcoin wallet, one of the few that is concerned about privacy, currently the only one that has implemented payjoin v2, which allows you to perform payjoin asynchronously. If we all use this feature by default, neither the BIS nor anyone else would be able to do anything. Once again, payjoin is underestimated. Sometimes the simplest things are the most effective. I would also like to mention @FRANCIS - BULLBITCOIN.COM , the owner of Bull Bitcoin, who is one of the few who has always been concerned about privacy in Bitcoin and demonstrates this with all of his products. His own non-custodial exchange, Bull Bitcoin, performed coinjoin to maintain customer privacy, and he sponsored the implementation of joinstr in Rust. Summary: If you truly believe in the free market, punish those who do not offer privacy because your freedom and that of your children are at stake.
