IMO this is THE best introduction I’ve found to give to someone who doesn’t understand #BTC yet.

What's The Problem?

[Daniel Batten @DSBatten]

Cambridge has just released their updated report on Bitcoin mining

For the first time, their report shows that most (52.4%) of the Bitcoin network is now powered by zero emission energy sources (up from 37% in their last report)

Here's a summary of their findings👇

#TheBitcoinStandard Wisdom of the day, day 124:

“Tragically, the only way gold was able to solve the problems of salability across scales, space and time was by being centralized and thus falling prey to the major problem of sound money emphasized by the economists of the twentieth century: individual sovereignty over money and its resistance to government centralized control”

#TheBitcoinStandard Wisdom of the day, day 123:

“People choose moneys that are fungible and liquid because they want sovereignty over their money. Sovereign money contains within it all the permission needed to spend it; the desire for others to hold it exceeds the ability of others to impose controls on it.”

Pg. 170 @saifedean ‘The Bitcoin Standard’

#Bitcoin is digital sovereignty.

Owning 1 Bitcoin isn’t a trade...

- It’s a power move.
- A geopolitical hedge.
- A once-per-civilization bet on the next monetary regime.

If you have the means to own one and don’t…
You’re not managing risk.
You’re misreading history. 🧵

[Daniel Batten @DSBatten]

... and they did.

[Saifedean Ammous @saifedean]

This is a great thread on the difficulty adjustment, the magic ingredient that makes bitcoin work, as I discuss in The Bitcoin Standard.

[Breadman @BTCBreadMan]

Correct.

Because no smart person owns XRP to begin with.

#TheBitcoinStandard Wisdom of the day, day 122:

“As technology has progressed to allow for ever-more-sophisticated forms of money, including paper money that is easy to carry around, a new problem of salability has been introduced, and that is the ability of the seller to sell her good without the intervention of any third parties that might place restraints on the salability of that money.”

#Bitcoin fixes this.

#TheBitcoinStandard Wisdom of the day, day 121:

“The bitcoin network is based on a form of money whose supply cannot be inflated by any single member bank, making it a more attractive store-of-value proposition than national currencies whose creation was precisely so their supply could be increased to finance governments.”

I sometimes think I’ve lowered my time preference too much. It's becoming a problem...

I skip small purchases, question holidays, and turn everyday decisions into long-term calculations.

Once you understand how money works, you can’t unsee the short-term thinking.

Most people trade long-term freedom for short-term comfort.

Bitcoin flips that mindset.

It teaches you to think in decades, not days.

But I’m actively trying to strike a better balance now.

I still want to live in the moment and enjoy the process.

Does anyone else have this problem?😂
