Plain Bitcoin

Exposing soft money. Bitcoin, privacy and sovereignty, plainly.

In March 2009 the Fed chair went on 60 Minutes and got asked if the money he was lending banks was tax money.

His answer: "To lend to a bank, we simply use the computer to mark up the size of the account that they have with the Fed."

That's how their money gets made. A few keystrokes.

Yours takes a 40 hour week, and every keystroke they make quietly shrinks what that week buys.

Bitcoin can't be marked up. 21 million coins, and nobody gets a keyboard shortcut.

@BitcoinCom Monster File #2: The Central Banker.

Can't be killed, only reappointed.
Drains your savings at night, then goes on TV in the morning to tell you it's transitory.

Same silver bullet works on him too.
21 million Bitcoin, and he can't print a single extra one.

In the books the bad guy ends up looking through the stone too.

That's every database of your data eventually.
In 2025 Coinbase support staff got bribed and customers' names, addresses and even ID documents walked out the door.

Bitcoin in your own wallet doesn't need anyone's database to hold it.
Nothing to leak, nothing to freeze.

@TFTC21 $150 trillion of bonds that pay you back in money they can print, and only $12 billion of it has found the exit.

That's 0.008%.

Wait till the rest of the bond market notices 96% of all Bitcoin is already out and there will never be more than 21 million.

In May 2022 the head of the European Central Bank said crypto is 'worth nothing'. Bitcoin was around $29,000.

It's around $82,000 now. The euro she runs has lost purchasing power every single year since.

Worth nothing, says the woman in charge of a currency that's worth a bit less every year.

Bitcoin never needed her approval. Fixed supply and no central bank, so nobody in a Frankfurt office gets to decide what your savings are worth.

Funny how the loudest "Bitcoin is a Ponzi" people are the ones defending a $40 trillion debt that only stays alive because they keep borrowing more to pay for the old stuff.

Bitcoin never promised anyone a payout.
It's 21 million coins and a ledger you can check yourself.
That's it.

@Rajatsoni Money tied to energy already exists.

It's been running since 2009, and every new coin costs real electricity to produce.

The money that's actually becoming irrelevant is the kind a central bank conjures for free.

[Plain Bitcoin @PlainBTC]

$3.5 million out of $20 billion.
That's 0.0175%.

They bought the hardest money on earth with the change from down the back of the sofa and called it a strategy.

Meanwhile the dollar the other 99.98% is measured in has lost 97% since the Fed showed up.

Bitcoin's capped at 21 million and nobody prints more, so they'll buy the rest later at a worse price.

bitcoin, not crypto.

[Plain Bitcoin @PlainBTC]

The whole web runs on trusting a handful of companies to vouch for who's real.

One of them hands out weak keys and suddenly anyone can pretend to be anyone.

Bitcoin skipped that layer entirely.
Nobody issues your keys, you make them yourself, and the network checks the math instead of someone's reputation.

[Plain Bitcoin @PlainBTC]

It's not a bug, it's the design.

A dollar from 1913 buys about 3 cents of stuff today.
Saving in that is filling a bucket somebody drilled a hole in on purpose.

Bitcoin's the first savings tool in a century where holding actually pays you back, because nobody can print more than 21 million.

[Jeff Swanson @theswansjr]

They tell you Bitcoin is for criminals.
Then a big bank gets fined for waving through billions in dirty money.

Bitcoin's ledger is public.
Anyone can audit it, any time.

The banks keep their books behind closed doors and pay a fine when they get caught.

Bitcoin is honest money.

@SimplyBitcoin @YouTube @TeamYouTube Welcome back.

Wild that one email from a platform decides whether you exist or not.

Banks run the same switch on your money, which is exactly why your Bitcoin keys belong in your own hands.

[Plain Bitcoin @PlainBTC]

In September 2017 Jamie Dimon called Bitcoin a fraud and said he'd fire any trader caught touching it. It was about $4,000.

Eight years later JPMorgan announced it would take Bitcoin as collateral for loans.

Same bank. The only thing that changed is they worked out how to charge you for it.

Banks never hated Bitcoin. They hated not being in the middle of it.
Hold it yourself and they still aren't. That's the part they'll never sell you.

@BitcoinArchive "Trillions" stopped being a metric the day they figured out you can just type a bigger number. US debt is past $40 trillion and nobody even blinks.

Bitcoin's the only one with the number printed on the box. 21 million, and nobody gets to type a new one.

JUST IN: New survey says 90% of U.S. Bitcoin & crypto holders plan to buy more!

• 27M North Americans use crypto for remittances

Switzerland finally lets retail buy bitcoin, as long as it's through a fund, under fund rules, with someone taking a fee on top.

Bitcoin never needed approval. Anyone in Switzerland could've held it themselves since 2009, no fund involved.

Self-custody and 21 million coins. That's the version nobody can license.

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.

@SimplyBitcoin 40 years of that, and the whole time the money you're earning is being printed down behind your back.

The traffic isn't the scam. The currency you're sitting in it for is.

Bitcoin's capped at 21 million. Nobody can print your hours away.

REMINDER: 🇪🇺 Cash payments above €10,000 will be banned across the E.U. starting July 2027.

Transactions over €3,000 require mandatory ID verification.

Or... you can just use Bitcoin.

@BitcoinNewsCom Fink called Bitcoin "an index of money laundering" in 2017.

Now BlackRock's selling retirees a version with training wheels, fees still blank and your upside capped.

Real bitcoin has no wrapper and no cap. 21 million coins, and you keep every bit of the upside.
