Longhorn Bitcoin Club

The Longhorn Bitcoin Club is a student club at UT Austin focused on the study and discussion of Bitcoin. We meet every week during the school year.

If you are new to Bitcoin, this is the reason the club was formed. Fiat money is broken by design. Bitcoin is better money. Crypto is flawed as money and doesn't solve fiat's problems. Bitcoin does.

What's The Problem?

[Jameson Lopp @lopp]

Bitcoin is money. It's also:

A trustworthy timestamping system.
An immutable historical record.
An anchor for other systems.
A programmable database.

I wrote these words in 2014:

[Joe Burnett, MSBA @IIICapital]

I would like to thank my landlord for his generosity.

For allowing me to live in a property he owns. All I have to do is pay him rent every month.

For accepting mediocre returns on his capital so that I can earn much higher returns on my capital by holding bitcoin.

For taking on the risk of all major components of the property including the HVAC system, roof, foundation, plumbing and electrical systems, etc.

The value he is adding to my life is appreciated and does not go unnoticed.

[Samson Mow @Excellion]

Dear New FOMO Investors,

Your job, and your only job, is to figure out who is the next: SBF, Do Kwon, and Faketoshi.

Forget any TA or research.

If you can’t figure it out in 2 weeks, buy spot Bitcoin, move it to cold storage, and cancel your Internet.

Sincerely,
Bitcoiners

"Men who can be both right and sit tight are uncommon." - Jesse Livermore

The right side of monetary history demands both. Don't get scared out. Don't get worn out.

Stay humble and stack sats.

Excited to discuss @parkeralewis's book, Gradually, Then Suddenly, today at our Longhorn Bitcoin Club meeting!

Staying neutral on Bitcoin is not an option. Choose or the choice will be made for you.

[James Lavish @jameslavish]

Save in Bitcoin for the next ten years for a lifetime of freedom, or squander savings for the next ten years for a lifetime of pain.

Which way, modern man?

A Basecamp for Bitcoin Innovation: The Stables at Early Riders Ranch

WIMBERLEY, Texas, September 18, 2025 (https://t.co/vCqr0tyYZd) - Early Riders launches an accelerator for serious founders in the bitcoin space. A first-of-its-kind campus dedicated to Bitcoin ventures, The Stables is a four-week sprint where founders escape the noise in Texas Hill Country to launch the next wave of bitcoin-native companies.

The beginning is the most critical phase of any company. When unit economics, incentives, and go-to-market strategies are aligned from day one, growth and profitability accelerate. However, if teams chase vanity metrics or noncommercial plans, businesses risk false starts and persistent losses.

As a result, Early Riders has developed a bitcoin accelerator program where, over the course of four weeks, selected founders are immersed in a setting unlike any other in the venture landscape. Each selected team receives a 2-5 BTC initial investment (with follow-on optionality), on-site living accommodations, professional childcare, and access to facilities that include a wellness center, recovery suite, and creative studios for content production. The result is an environment intentionally engineered to support both the companies and the people building them.

The opportunity to work alongside a team with a proven track record.

Early Riders has a history of being non-consensus and right. The firm pioneered the use of bitcoin as the institutional hurdle rate before it became mainstream, commercialized multi-institution custody before it was widely adopted, and built Onramp into bitcoin's leading infrastructure platform. The Stables represents the next evolution of this mission: a permanent home for founders, portfolio companies, and the broader bitcoin ecosystem.

"Founders are drowning in noise and distraction while solving the hardest problems in bitcoin infrastructure," said Michael Tanguma. "The Stables is our antidote: a place where vision and discipline replace distraction, and where the best builders can finally build."

Program Highlights:
- 2-5 BTC initial investment per team
- On-site residency in Texas Hill Country with wellness, childcare, and creative studios
- 24/7 access to bitcoin developers, custody pioneers, and seasoned enterprise operators
- Direct customer and investor exposure from day one
- Follow-on funding pathway with 50+ aligned, value-add investors

Priority verticals include multi-institution custody key managers with specialized and unique offerings, institutional trading rails, Chaumian mint tooling, bitcoin lending with institutional controls, Bitcoin-as-money integration platforms, and enterprise-grade security solutions.

Applications Open Now

Applications for the inaugural cohort are now open. The program will run annually, with the initial cohort in summer 2026.

The Fed needs to urgently buy bitcoin.

Bitcoin treasury companies need to be covered by more equity analysts that look at financial services companies, not just those that look at technology or payments companies. Like traditional banks, the alpha is in capital structure, leverage, and risk management.

[Preston Pysh @PrestonPysh]

Fiat is so fragile and manipulated that some old dude can mutter 15 words and markets around the world whip-saw to the tune of trillions of dollars in a matter of minutes.

Humans have built their entire exchange of energy between each other on this scheme of a system. Decades later we will truly laughing at how primitive it all was.

Monetary freedom and self-sovereignty are on sale today 🟠

[Mason @MasonFoard]

The persistent anxiety AI bros harbor about being relegated to a “permanent underclass” is not misplaced.

Within the fiat monetary system, the material abundance produced by AI will inevitably concentrate in a narrow, centralized elite rather than disseminate to humanity at large. But what the AI bros fail to grasp is that this outcome is a consequence of the monetary system they choose to participate in and continually reinforce.

In the fiat system, the harder one works and the more value one creates, the more one strengthens the very system extracting it from them. In a truly free market, genuine value creation should be deflationary, with productivity gains and technological progress lowering costs and increasing abundance. But fiat demands perpetual inflation and cannot allow the extreme deflation that advances such as AI and automation would naturally produce. If deflation were allowed, the real debt burden would become too immense, triggering a chain of defaults and a systemic collapse.

Inflation is therefore the only release valve to keep the system afloat, and it is the function that drives wealth centralization toward existing asset holders, creating a two-tiered class structure.

The only real solution to escape the “permanent underclass” is to leave fiat entirely and store one’s value in Bitcoin, a fixed, decentralized, energy-backed monetary protocol where technological abundance accrues to participants through falling prices over time.

In a world of accelerating abundance, Bitcoin is the only fixed constant, a point of scarcity in a sea of plenty. Because its supply never changes while everything else becomes more abundant, each unit commands an ever-larger share of the world’s goods, services, and capabilities.

This is not something that will happen. This is something that is occurring in real time. Priced in Bitcoin, everything is getting cheaper. Forever.
