In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

Bitcoin not threatened by AI.

Google’s Willow chip has 105 physical qubits.
Google estimates that millions of physical qubits would be required to threaten modern cryptography.

Even under wildly optimistic and incorrectly extrapolated assumptions (that the quantum device can do SHA-256 at that rate and sustain it), it would still take ~10 hours on average to find one block.

And Bitcoin’s entire global network produces one every 10 minutes.

The ever wise Greg Maxwell on Core v Knots.

Summary to paraphrase,

“I hate spammers intended use of the bitcoin blockchain with every fibre of my being, but will fight to the death for an open permission-less system the doesn’t allow me or anyone else to police transactions because that’s more important and why I and others have worked on bitcoin all this time.

If you don’t like it fork off, we don’t make engineering choices based on popularity or an American Idol voting system. If we did Bitcoin would have died long ago “

@zerohedge True.

That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

Good luck to them. We will fight and we will win.

Abandoned property laws work by forcing INTERMEDIARIES to surrender dormant accounts.

Self-custody breaks that model: there’s no intermediary to compel, and Bitcoin only moves with a valid private-key signature.

A blockchain “notice” creates no custody, no due process, and no ability to move the coins. All anyone can really hold are the keys. And holding the keys isn’t really even possession. You can’t even really possess BTC. You can only hold the private key, which allows you to exercise dominion and control over the intangible on chain asset

Bitcoin is money. Everything else is credit.

[Pierre Rochard @BitcoinPierre]

When a bitcoin miner chooses to exclude a fee-paying valid transaction in the block it proposes, that's not "censorship", it is leaving the tx in the mempools and letting other miners include the tx in their blocks. The excluding miner foregoes the tx fee revenue, but a miner has a right to exclude, it's their hardware and software that they are self-sovereign over. What makes bitcoin censorship-resistant is that an excluding miner can't force other miners to also exclude a transaction in their blocks. That would be real censorship.

EQUITY VS CREDIT

Credit investors look for what can go wrong.

Equity investors look for what can go right.

Credit investors are last in line to lose.

Equity investors are first in line to lose capital.

The paradox is that credit investors sleep at night by fearing the worst, while equity investors stay awake dreaming of the best.
