Founder & CIO of @cybercapital Europe’s Oldest Cryptocurrency Fund, full-time crypto researcher since 2014. My words are my own & are not investment advice.
Elon Musk deserves to be the world's first trillionaire!
All of his capital is productively focused on bettering humanity
From space travel, electric cars, robotics, free speech, AI & energy
Socialism cannot replicate it; only capitalism creates as much prosperity for all! 🔥
The nuance behind why I say Bitcoin isn't freedom money:
Its permissionless properties only work for a tiny minority.
It's not worth promoting freedom tech that only kinda works for a few hundred thousand people.
BTC cannot support MASS self-custody:
If everyone in the world did only one BTC TX, the queue would be over 37 years long!
The math is undeniable:
(Block size (1.66MB)/Transaction size (P2PKH) (374B)) / Block time (10M) = TPS (7.75). 8B (Users) / 217M (Yearly TXs) = 37 years!
I agree with @Justin_Bons that #Bitcoin as well as #Ethereum have slowed down their progress because core dev team or leadership took wrong decisions that were not in the interests of coinholders.
Both did not scale in a timely manner, causing transaction fees to go up too much and competitors to take a piece of their market.
I also agree that if these key decisions were left to the coinholders with a vote based on 1 token/1 vote, another decisions would have been made as it was in their direct self interest to scale the blockchain on time, and would have likely caused the amount of usecases, users and value of both $BTC and $ETH to be considerably higher today.
However, I notice that to this day almost no cryptocurrency project has implemented this simple concept, that has proven it's worth in the world of private companies where it's now a foundation for every company's governance structure: 1 share/1 vote.
So my question to the leadership of my favorite smaller projects who could make a difference implementing this: what do you think of the idea? Is it possible to integrate? If you don't like the idea, why not?
Bitcoin Cash ($BCH): @bitcoincashorg, @BitcoinCashOG, @BitcoinCashA, @rogerkver, @HijackingBTC
Zano ($ZANO): @zano_project, @Mr_Kwibs
Pirate Chain ($ARRR): @PirateChain, @PirateCommunity,
Firo ($FIRO): @firoorg, @DamiDefi
Please tag below anyone else that could help get this idea realized in above projects, or share this post with them directly
Credit to @Justin_Bons for finally admitting out loud what has always been true of Ethereum: the unaccountable circle round Vitalik, the L2 roadmap that traded away usefulness, the slow drift into a speculative cult. None of it new. People - me - were castigated for saying this.
Bitcoin Cash is totally uncompetitive compared to 3rd gen chains:
BCH capacity = 280 TPS / SOL capacity = 40k+ TPS
BCH speed = 10min / SOL speed = 400ms
The facts speak loudly; BCH cannot compete: Being the "real Bitcoin" is not enouth!
That is why BCH is a ghost town in 2026!
On the one hand, no one should ever have to abandon their homeland for basic freedom and rights, especially a country as otherwise wonderful as the Netherlands.
On the other hand, how blessed are we that escaping tyranny is basically a plane ticket, a lease, and some paperwork away?
Modern America's ancestors took a treacherous journey (including some from the Netherlands) hundreds of years ago. Several died on the voyage, dozens more the first few months.
They clawed their freedom from the granite.
If we really want freedom today, it's easier than at any point in human history.
The Netherlands is becoming an authoritarian state:
The 36% capital gains tax destroys our property
The anti-free speech laws took away our liberty
Now they want our children, as they ban homeschooling! Completing the full tyranny set by stealing life, liberty & property! 💀
The digital economy was built on surveillance by default. Every payment, balance, and asset you hold is visible to someone watching.
@zano_project is building the opposite: the infrastructure for a privacy-first digital economy, where privacy isn't a feature you switch on but the foundation everything runs on.
Welcome to Common S3nse. 🔒
Bitcoin is even more vulnerable to inflation bugs than Zcash! 🤯
Every custodian and exchange is a "shielded pool" which can, and often does, print fake Bitcoin at will.
You deposit and then can't withdraw, because someone else withdrew your actual Bitcoin.
Even worse, the vulnerability has been in the codebase since 2010! And still hasn't been patched! 😱
The exploit is the block size limit, and is a terminal problem facing Bitcoin. That's why the price is dumping right now: Saylor and others have been exploiting the inflation bug.
Because of the block size limit, paper Bitcoin is a profitable possibility. Btitcoin's supply will never be constrained to 21 million.
Crypto solved almost all of its problems!
Most just do not realize it yet, as they are still stuck on BTC & ETH
Stuck in the past, as they refuse to acknowledge all innovation
The blockchain trilemma is no longer valid, yet it remains as a weak "excuse" for not scaling today!
Heliums supply growth has gone from 10% inflationary to 9.72% deflationary in less than 12 months on the back offloading mobile data to T Mobile Carrier and AT&T.
Safe to say @helium_mobile proved PMF.
The next chapter is bullish.
Ethereum is so far behind that celebrating its usage is delusional; ETH is not "catching up"! A reality check:
ETH TPS = 20
SOL TPS = 2071
SOL has 100x more usage right now!
The difference is embarrassing: Exposing ETH for only playing pretend. While SOL wins the whole game 🔥
Always a riveting conversation between @QuaiNetwork and @Justin_Bons
Thanks for joining all!
One day Justin will see the energy dollar
I wonder if he's looking at the revenue numbers now.
There is no "infinite money glitch" on ZEC! Stop being hysterical
The turnstile will not allow more ZEC to be withdrawn than was deposited
That means ZEC's max supply remains secure no matter what!
Only the pool can become insolvent! Credit to @0xdoug for the great explainer:
