Wait a second. A top 20 US bank that was AAA rated last week went bust within 48 hours because they were heavily invested in bonds with a “risk free” yield? 🚩 It’s as if everyone assumed others were doing due diligence, when nobody actually did. Don’t trust, verify. #Bitcoin
21 sats is a lot of money. That is 1/100 trillionth of the entire network. If we have the assumption most folks will own 100,000 sats or less: 21 sats is 1/4,500th of one’s stack. Perhaps multiple days worth of income. You can buy perhaps dozens of days of income for $1. Let’s see if anyone zaps this post in light of this perspective, haha. 🤣
"#Bitcoin  is worthless because you can't use it at Chuck E Cheese... Chuck E Cheese tokens have more intrinsic value than Bitcoin." What is wrong with Twitter folks?…
Banking stocks tanking like meme stocks. Crypto banks and fiat banks… these losses are immense. 40% to 60% in a single day. Already rumors for bailouts and bank runs… Amazing how 24 hours changes everything. “Risk happens fast.”
#Bitcoin  may be volatile in USD right now… But notice how there isn’t even a RUMOR of a bank run, bailout, or insolvency in #BTC . Bitcoin is a bank without bankers that is designed to never need a bailout, yield, or a reset. Many are scared right now, I am grateful for this.

So far on Twitter I’ve been called: “Sexist, sucker, scammer, grifter, transphobic, retarded, hater, shill, AI bot, fool, naive, ignorant, selfish, etc.” I’m finding that most people like to engage intellectual disagreement with jargon. I am also finding Nostr is much more pleasant.
Bitcoin is beautiful. 🧡
If we figure a $10,000,000 #Bitcoin as a ballpark… Then today’s $25,000 is $0.0025 on the dollar before inflation. Point is not the exact number... point is that it's well under 1 cent.
Real estate is not in a bubble. Stocks are not in a bubble. Gold is not in a bubble. #Bitcoin is not a bubble. The currency we price said assets in is the bubble. When the currency bubble begins to unwind, we misdirect toward asset prices and excuse new stimulus to keep it up. Do you think this is a reasonable conclusion?
