Me he expresado mucho y de forma favorable hacia #Bitcoin
Luego de muchas horas de estudio sobre el tema, cada vez mi convicción es mayor.
Quienes me conocen personalmente, me preguntan con curiosidad, más pocos dan el paso de salir de cero.
Si algo nos dice la historia y el comportamiento humano, la enorme mayoría de personas querrán entrar más adelante y lamentarán no haberse involucrado antes.
Es algo que me gustaría cambiar, pero que estoy consciente que funciona así.
Cornelius Vanderbilt died in 1877 with $100 million, more money than the U.S. Treasury. In 1973, 120 of his descendants gathered at Vanderbilt University. Not one of them was a millionaire.
His great-great-great-grandson is Anderson Cooper. At 14 he was walking up the stairs at home and heard his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, on the phone: "Well, I'll always be able to make money."
"I remember stopping and freezing… and thinking: we are doomed."
At 13 he'd been telling her to open a savings account. By 14 he was working as a child model.
By 1885 the Commodore's son had more than doubled the fortune, to about $230 million. Then the next generation's wives decided to take over New York society. "And then the spending begins."
Worked out.
$230 million in 1885.
Left alone at a plain 5% a year until 1973: about $17 billion.
Split 120 ways: about $140 million each.
What the 120 actually had: not one had $1 million.
Spending only the 5% would have paid the family $11.5 million a year, in 1885 dollars, forever.
Keep this part. A fortune doesn't need a thief. It only needs each generation to spend a little more than it earns, and more heirs to split what's left.
Gloria inherited what remained, then made her own money with jeans. Anderson's parents made sure he knew: "There wasn't some pot of gold waiting for me, and I'm glad."
The clip is three minutes. Watch him on the stairs, then decide.
You have $100 million and one child. How much do you leave them?
Bitcoin explained in 10 sentences.
1. To understand Bitcoin, you first have to understand the problem it solves: money controlled by people.
2. There is a money-power paradox: if someone has the power to control the money, someone has the power to corrupt it.
3. Every form of money before Bitcoin had a central seat where someone could control the money, and because of that, every form of money became corrupted, including today's money, which is controlled by governments and central banks, which enables them to create money out of thin air and destroy the purchasing power of your money.
4. Bitcoin is a new monetary system designed to remove that central seat of power and stop monetary corruption once and for all.
5. Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, saw the corruption of money as a *trust* problem; we must trust central banks and governments not to manipulate the money, but the history of their system is filled with breaches of that trust.
6. Satoshi's solution was simple: instead of relying on trust to run the money system, use proof.
7. Instead of trusting one central authority, like a bank or government, to make sure the system is running properly, Bitcoin spreads that job across thousands and thousands of computers around the world: participants use proof to demonstrate that they are following the rules, and each computer independently verifies that proof, only accepting activity that follows Bitcoin's rules and rejecting anything that doesn't.
8. The result is a monetary system where no single person, government, or institution can control and manipulate the money, because the power to enforce the rules is spread across the entire network rather than concentrated into one authority, and because nobody can get away with breaking the rules -- nobody can just appear at a press conference and claim that what they're doing is legitimate -- rather, they must provide proof that their work is legitimate, and the entire global network is always checking that their proof-of-work follows the rules.
9. Think about what this means: for thousands of years, humanity has lived in a world where the people controlling the money could change the rules of the game to benefit themselves, while everyone else had to deal with the consequences.
10. Imagine what would happen if we had a money system where everyone played by the same rules, where everyone HAD to be honest in order to participate, and where that reality could not be manipulated.
That's Bitcoin.
Muchos mensajes, análisis y comentarios como este, asegurando que las pandillas de Haití no son como las de El Salvador; que son sanguinarias, que están fuertemente armadas, que nadie ha podido vencerlas, que todas las misiones han fracasado, que estamos cayendo en una trampa, que no sabemos a lo que nos enfrentamos, que será nuestra ruina, que vamos camino a nuestro Waterloo.
Pero cuando Dios nos conceda la victoria, los mismos que hoy dicen todo eso cambiarán su discurso. Dirán que siempre fue fácil, que cualquiera podía hacerlo, que las pandillas de Haití no eran tan peligrosas como se pensaba.
En fin, nunca los hemos escuchado y no vamos a empezar ahora.
Todos los que se han enlistado son creyentes y hemos encomendado esta misión a Dios, mientras que las pandillas de Haití son satánicas y es de conocimiento público que hacen sacrificios humanos.
Dios nos concederá la victoria. El Creador del Universo está con nosotros.

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight at you, then they add you to their Long-Term Capital Markets Assumptions paper and predict you'll be the best-performing asset of the next decade.
JUST IN: The largest bank in the U.S. JPMorgan is forecasting Bitcoin to outperform every major asset over the next decade.
You are not bullish enough 🚀
This is the way. Stock donations to kids w inv accts helps to kill many societal problems w one clean stone. We know some will perform olympic-level mental gymnastics to try and spin this as bad but as someone who has looked into it, this is really powerful stuff. 👏
Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced enforcement actions imposing more than $1.21 billion in penalties against Bank of America for violations of anti-money laundering and sanctions laws. These actions represent the third-largest penalty in Treasury history and the largest in @USOCC history.

El CEO de MARA dice que la IA pagará con stablecoins, no con #Bitcoin.
Puede que tenga razón en el corto plazo. Pero pagar y ahorrar no son lo mismo.
Si un agente de IA administrara tu patrimonio por 20 años, ¿en qué activo le pedirías conservarlo?
Aquí te doy mi opinión: https://t.co/jVZc3ymqvI
Starting today, all Steak n Shake buns are officially seed-oil free. The buns are now unapologetically drenched in pure Grade AA Wisconsin butter.
The grass-fed, grass-finished Steakburger in a seed-oil-free bun is a new level of quality. Steak n Shake is breaking new ground with tastier, healthier options at affordable prices.
