Behind the #Bitcoin bubble lies the biggest revolution in history

[Cole Walmsley @Cole_Walmsley]

If you knew this about Bitcoin, I bet you would start caring about it.

Current Bitcoin computing power is 978 exahashes per second. That is Bitcoin’s hashrate.

In simpler terms, that means the Bitcoin network is doing 978 quintillion calculations *per second*. There is no other computer network on Planet Earth that even comes close to that level of power.

To put this in perspective, since the Big Bang supposedly happened, 435.5 quadrillion seconds have passed. 978 quintillion calculations is 2,246 times that number.

In other words, Bitcoin performs more calculations *every second* than the total number of seconds that have passed in the entire universe’s existence, times 2,246.

And that doesn’t even capture the growth of the Bitcoin network.

In 2013, only four years into Bitcoin’s lifespan, global Bitcoin computing power was 256 times faster than the world’s top 500 supercomputers combined.

In just 13 years since then, the computing power of the Bitcoin network has grown by over 209,000 times.

That would be like the human population going from 8 billion people to 1.68 quadrillion people in a little over a decade.

To put that in perspective, 8 billion seconds ago was the year 1773. 1.68 quadrillion seconds ago was 53,233,962 BC.

If Bitcoin’s computing power has grown by over 209,000 times in 13 years, and that growth rate is the equivalent of going from 53,000,000 BC to 1773 AD, one could say that the Bitcoin network has advanced over 53 million years in a little over a decade.

Such a level of growth is a strong indicator of intelligence.

Do with this what you will.

I can’t believe it’s this simple

[Tony Hanania @AntounAnanias]

In a disturbing development, on Oct 14th, the former head of Israel's Shin Bet, Ronan Bar, filed a law suit against Netanyahu, alleging the latter had received no less than twenty warnings of the precise character and of the approximate date of the Hamas attack. Formerly, nine warnings were cited in YNet, Ha'aretz and Maariv. It has now become increasingly unreasonable not to suppose that Netanyahu was a complicit actor in the Hamas attack, an organisation he had funded, directly and indirectly, for almost twenty years, and about which he possessed precise internal intelligence. Thus Netanyahu could not only have prevented the attack, but now appears to have been proactively enabling the attack, to manufacture a pretext to ethnically cleanse Gaza, while simultaneously using the attack to disrupt charges supported by three hundred witnesses that Netanyahu had presided over a twenty year reign of corruption, gangster-like coercion, malfeasance and repeated breaches of international law.

Are bitcoin hardware wallets doomed? No.

[The ₿itcoin Therapist @TheBTCTherapist]

Bitcoin self-custody isn’t really that hard (2026 edition)

- Buy 3 different hardware devices.
- Have them mailed using fake names.
- Deliver to a random P.O. Box.
- Disassemble each one.
- Inspect them for manipulation.
- Review the device firmware with SI.
- Roll dice 100x for sufficient entropy.
- Pound each seed phrase into metal.
- Geographically distribute them.
- Download a desktop wallet.
- Pray your PC isn’t compromised.
- Generate a receive address.
- Send your entire life savings in one go.
- Sweat bullets for 10-30 min.
- Tell no one you did any of this.
- Fear being wrench attacked forever.
- Make fun of others who don’t self custody

Why isn’t everyone doing this?

In case you needed a reason to take bitcoin seriously:

[Bert Slagter @bslagter]

Grootste probleem van box 3: het tarief van 36%.

Dat is niet vergelijkbaar met inkomstenbelasting. Rendement is deels compensatie voor verlies van koopkracht door inflatie.

Bij 8% rendement en 3% inflatie betaal je effectief 58% belasting over je reële rendement. Veel te hoog.
