THE REVOLUTION
WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
IT WILL NOT BE CENTRALIZED
“Corporations – and thereby capitalism – are a direct product of the colonial exploitation of wealth from other nations. It was a legal assurance by the king that shareholder profits would be properly enforced by the sword or imprisonment. Cryptocurrencies don’t work this way.”

Year-to-Date Performance: +100%
Historically April is a good month for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is just getting started.
Bitcoin has now transferred over $4 trillion around the world without needing a bank, government, or company.
Bitcoin is now larger than the Australian Dollar (M1).
Did the bears really think billionaires would buy #Bitcoin and then do nothing to help adoption, stimulate interest & defend its value?
Banks offering products for bitcoin is incredible because they spent 10yrs campaigning the world to ban it. Visa using USDC via eth is amazing because that was always the benchmark. “how do we get to VISA size tps” Turns out, being able to reliably finalize is what was needed.
Tesla is using only internal & open source software & operates Bitcoin nodes directly. Bitcoin paid to Tesla will be retained as Bitcoin, not converted to fiat currency.

In 2018, Sandler had come out of her two-year retirement to become head of institutional sales at Coinbase. She’d first learned about cryptocurrency years earlier in 2011.

MIAMI Mayor Francis Suarez @FrancisSuarez @MiamiMayor @cityofMiami
Francis Suarez says the city should become a “clean energy” mining hub. The United States is able to improve Bitcoin’s environmental issues by providing a clean energy supply that’s “essentially unlimited,” Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has claimed. Francis Suarez believes that mining firms could benefit from Miami’s clean nuclear power sources. Miami is also exploring the possibility of paying employee salaries in Bitcoin. U.S. needs to mine more #bitcoin due to national security reasons, Miami mayor says. Miami Dade are sure to approve. The largest Bitcoin conference has moved to Miami, from LA and will take place in June. “Miami will always strive to be ahead of the curve. Expanding the financial freedom of Miamians is the first step forward towards our modern economy. The Miami mayor has also talked with local utility companies about providing #Bitcoin mining incentives. “Visions of Bitcoin City. Last month, the Republican mayor suggested Miami pay municipal workers and accept tax payments in Bitcoin, as well as invest city funds in the cryptocurrency. Local officials have agreed to study the proposals.”
Brazil’s central bank is revving up its years long effort to bust up the country’s clubby banking industry, using a pandemic-driven shift toward touchless payments to launch its own digital platform. The payment system, dubbed Pix, was set up and is maintained by the central bank instead of private payments players, unlike similar systems in other countries.
89% of bitcoin has already been mined!

- Philadelphia Mayor should do the exact same thing, Tell the University of Pennsylania to use their computers to do it.
- Pennsylvania State should do the exact same thing and give free tuition the everyone in the State.
- Detroit Mayor should do the exact same thing.
- Kentucky is doing it with coal – because of course they are.
- NY City should do this immediately – ask the University to set this up for the city.

SEC Commissioner Explains Why A Delayed Bitcoin ETF Has Consequences
My view has been that we’re overdue on approving one of these things. I also think we’ve dug ourselves into a bit of a difficult hole by setting standards for approval that are difficult to figure out how to satisfy. So I really don’t know where we’re going to go. I think that a new chairman with a fresh perspective can be helpful in rethinking the approach to approving exchange-traded products. What the price of bitcoin is doing is really not the business of the SEC. That’s not what we look at when we’re looking at other underlying markets. MicroStrategy has returned about 600% to investors over the last nine months.

Ark Invest CEO on Bitcoin: “1 Trillion is Nothing” Compared to Future Growth
“If we add all of the potential demand relative to the limited supply, we come up with incredible numbers over the long term. We have just begun. One trillion dollars is nothing compared to where this ultimately will be.” She stated that one of the most surprising developments for the cryptocurrency was the massive surge in institutional demand. As the United States economy faces inflationary pressures with potential interest rate hikes by 2023, analysts have predicted the dollar to depreciate.
“Aren’t central bank digital currencies competitive with Bitcoin?”
The Final Boss: Bitcoin vs Central Bank Digital Currencies
Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund owns #Bitcoin. Temasek, a $306 billion Singapore sovereign wealth fund has been stacking #bitcoin since 2018.
Bitcoin Mining on almost-stranded hydro power to fund gorilla and nature protection in a big national park. Yes.
The Blocksize War – Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency that works and will ever work get it through your thick fucking skulls already. Someday soon, every company and jurisdiction in the world will hold bitcoin.
Every #Bitcoin base layer tx involves 3 participants:
1) sender
2) receiver
3) miners
The miners are therefore the “3rd party”, and if they were trusted, they would be a security hole.
Thankfully, minimizing miner counterparty risk has a huge part of #Bitcoin protocol design. We don’t talk about the miners as counterparties often because the mining market is so healthy & competitive today that the risk of them 1) censoring txs or 2) reverting txs is negligible.
The market likes trustless miners. We have #UASF to thank for that.
Government regulation increases economic growth. Who knew?
We want to get paid in Bitcoin! Pay me in Bitcoin.
