Real reason? I do Coinbase transactions through this account for Bitcoin.
This is a war on Bitcoin & crypto. Please RT to warn others. We won’t stay silent.
Microsoft is now the largest contributor to open-source on GitHub. The times they are a-changin.
It’s still early in crypto.
No one has missed the boat. We’re learning to build the boat.
Bitcoin maxi paradoxes:
- Love decentralization yet use centralized exchanges (no DEX for BTC).
- Love free markets yet hate venture capitalists (free market actors).
- Love open-source yet hate an entire revolution of new open-source apps.
BREAKING: City of Miami will give residents bitcoin wallets and pay them in BTC using their treasury yield.
Powered by Stacks, smart contracts for Bitcoin. is a visionary leader who is on a roll these days!
Facebook stole the metaverse username from their own user.
This perfectly captures the concept of property rights in Zuck’s world.
Not your keys, not your usernames.

I’ve discovered that a CEO’s job includes seeing a therapist and exec coach, going to the gym, and building meaningful peer relationships.
The successful startups are 10+ year marathons and you need a support structure to survive that long.
Today the Dow Jones had its largest point drop in history.
It’s a 4.42% drop or what we call in crypto markets a stable day.
Joe Biden’s account hacked.
Goodbye, Twitter and Facebook— you had nice run.

Marc: “Do you know the best thing about startups?”
Ben: “What?”
Marc: “You only ever experience two emotions: euphoria and terror.

Crypto market movements have zero impact on the engineering work being done on the real protocols.
Hype cycles come and go, code commits are here to stay.
Humans don’t have mental space for more than 150 people in their life.
This includes celebrities, Presidents etc. You can’t pay attention to more than 150. Choose wisely.
Funny how a bull market makes people believe in the underlying tech/ideas.
Welcome back, seasonal friends of crypto. Our industry made a lot of progress since your last visit.
Crypto is an unknown territory.
It’s better to admit that you don’t know how it’ll play out than to fool yourself that you can predict the crypto future.
When Google takes down crypto videos on YouTube, we respond by starting a decentralized YouTube.
Not your keys, not your videos.
Ethereum fans discussing how Solana is not decentralized enough is amusing to watch from Bitcoin land.
Silence is the best response to trolls; a reaction, any reaction, is fuel for them.
When Marc was building Netscape the total internet population was ~50M.
Ideas that looked “bad” at that size ended up being successful later.
Crypto population is currently ~50M. History doesn’t repeat but it rhymes.

Bitcoin’s proof of work is inefficient but Doge’s proof of work can work.
Much sense. Wow logic 
A lot of people are quitting Facebook.
The alternative is not another company that you can trust. The alternative is not gov regulation.
It’s a shift to decentralized computing where fundamental digital rights are protected by code and mathematics.

The single best crypto trade you can make today is to trade your current job with one in a growing crypto startup.
Wall Street's "Black Monday" (1987) had a drop of 22.61% and went down in history books. In crypto economy that's called just a Monday.
Mobile phones should be called distraction machines.
Checking your distraction machine first thing in the morning is not the ideal way to start your day.

NEWS: Stacks devs are working on bringing Bitcoin (sBTC) to Solana.

SolanaIntelligent people I meet care more about discovering the truth than seeking validation for their world view.
The fact that BSV is a thing and gets speculative attention indicates how far we are from mature crypto markets.
I’ve been increasingly giving up convenience for privacy:
- Replaced Google search
- Don’t use Chrome anymore
- Have burner phones
- Turned location off for 99% apps
- Apps isolated over multiple devices
This will be a long journey. What are your best practices for privacy?
A Bitcoin core dev is now thinking of leaving the Bitcoin project because of “toxic maxis.” The cultural erosion happened slowly since 2017.
We need to revive the Bitcoin builders culture; the keyboard warriors and podcasters are far less important.
Give your monkey brain a pen and paper to write down thoughts and it stops running in loops.
Credit cards encourage us to spend money that we don’t currently have.
Calendars encourage us to spend time that we don’t currently have.
Crypto winter is here.
No need to deny or downplay it. Funding will likely dry up, we might start seeing projects shutdown.
It’s far from the end, however. The next wave can reach a bigger market, beyond this “dial-up era” of crypto.
A world that runs on computers is a place where those who can program the computers will control it all.

Goals suck the joy out of the journey.
If something is hard to do consistently it’s probably valuable. Examples:
- Writing concisely
- Waking up early morning
- Not thinking during meditation

Quick thoughts from Satoshi Round Table in Dubai:
- The Bitcoin L2 session yesterday was the largest session I’ve seen here. Packed and 5 Bitcoin L2 projects there.
- Today, multiple parallel sessions going on about Bitcoin L2s, BitVM, peg security, Bitcoin Defi etc.
