FORMER FINANCE PROFESSOR: "After 25 years teaching finance, I realized at 58:
If the money printer grows 8-10% annually and the S&P 500 returns ~9%, it's just treading water. True wealth comes from outpacing the printer.
That's the Bitcoin journey."
Bitcoin is in DEEP VALUE territory for just the 4th time in history according to the Power Law.

This guy does not take himself too seriously!
@noufsmith@BULLBITCOIN_@RadarChat@signalapp I tested Radar yesterday - works great! Still need to provide phone number though. If I want to use a truly private messaging app I personally think Manna Bitcoin Wallet offers a better solution. I could be wrong - comments welcomed. @MannaBitcoin
JUST IN: THE #BITCOIN SIGNAL APP IS HERE
NEW MESSAGING APP JUST FUSED SIGNAL ENCRYPTION WITH SELF-CUSTODIAL BTC LIGHTNING PAYMENTS
YOU CAN NOW SEND SATS DIRECTLY IN PRIVATE CHATS
FREEDOM WINNING. LOVE TO SEE IT ๐งก
when the samourai devs had their homes raided by heavily armed cops 2 years ago it sent a chill throughout the bitcoin industry
i felt it first hand, shit was scary and nobody knew what was about to come next
when the dust cleared a bit, arrested and funds seized, it was obvious they were going to need significant legal defense funds
made a few calls, but nobody wanted to stick their neck out, reasonable, i myself was hoping someone else would handle it, a young family of my own that i did not want to put at additional risk
but someone had to do it, so we launched the p2prights fund through @bitcoinpolicy, still proud of those guys to this day for taking that risk head on when nobody else would
in total, we raised about a million dollars worth of bitcoin, well short of what was needed to fight the case properly, mostly from individuals, honestly it was pretty disappointing, made me rethink a bunch of things
anyway, we still need to free samourai, lets get it done

@ODELLXYZ@RadarChat will check it out: have you tested/tried the private message within the Manna Bitcoin Wallet. Probably less features but more private for sure. Thoughts?
This just gave me chills!!
Happy 250! Happy 4th of July!!

Bitcoin is Freedom
I spent the last few weeks in my motherland, Vietnam. The country has transformed since my family escaped in 1978. It is more prosperous, energetic, and ambitious than the Vietnam I left behind. A young population, rising investment, and global aspiration have created extraordinary momentum.
And yet one thing remains clear. For many in Vietnam, the ultimate dream is still America. And if they cannot make it to America, they want to wear American brands, eat American food, listen to American music, and exude American confidence.
My trip to Vietnam reminded me of this, and the World Cup has made it visible on a global stage. America remains not only a country people admire, but a place people still want to reach, represent, and belong to.
The United States remains the land of the free, the Wild Wild West, and the home of the American Dream. Walmart and Waffle House. Boston and Austin. Silicon Valley and Wall Street. A country where people can still rise from welfare to extraordinary success through hard work, ingenuity, risk taking, and some luck.
My family experienced that promise directly. We arrived in America as refugees, sponsored by a Catholic church in Syracuse, New York. We received public assistance, food stamps, and free school lunches. My father worked three jobs. We lived frugally and dealt with poverty and racism. America was not easy, but it was open. It gave us a system where effort, education, entrepreneurship, and perseverance could compound.
This is America. The world still aspires to be like us.
What has made America successful over the last 250 years is not accidental. It is a principled Constitution, geographic scale, abundant resources, and a culture of liberty, capitalism, entrepreneurship, and reinvention. Other nations try to replicate the recipe, but often waver. Interventionism, bureaucracy, corruption, and ego get in the way.
Which brings me to Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is the United States of money. It aspires to do for money what the American Constitution aspired to do for government: create a system governed by transparent rules rather than the discretion of individuals. Built on a principled white paper, digitally enforced scarcity, and proof of work, Bitcoin is digital capital governed by code, energy, and consensus.
But beyond that, Bitcoin is hope.
It provides hope for those who have worked hard for their money and want to protect it from monetary inflation. It provides hope for those born in countries without reliable rule of law or economic freedoms. It provides hope for anyone seeking protection, opportunity, and a form of property that does not depend on geography, politics, or permission.
I was born in the year of Americaโs bicentennial. Fifty years later, the future of American dominance is being questioned. I have no question. The United States of America is the greatest country in the world.
My life is proof of what America makes possible. I left Vietnam as a refugee, grew up poor in America, built a career through education and hard work, and now have a wonderful wife and three children. That is the American Dream to me. It is not just wealth. It is freedom, family, opportunity, and the ability to determine your own future.
That is also why Bitcoin resonated with me. I found Bitcoin because it reflected the same principles that shaped my life: clear rules, individual sovereignty, property rights, resilience, open competition, and long-term conviction.
America gave my family freedom through a country. Bitcoin offers individuals monetary freedom through a network. One opened the door for me. The other opens a door for anyone, anywhere, to protect the fruits of their labor.
That is why Bitcoin is freedom.
