18 years ago, at 2:10 pm EDT, Satoshi Nakamoto started a fire in cyberspace. Happy Bitcoin Whitepaper Day.

@AdamBLiv NO decaf for me … I’ll have a double espresso. I want to feel that.

[BRITISH HODL @BritishHodl]

In my opinion - if you choose to own MetaPlanet ($MPJPY | $MTPLF) as a Bitcoin treasury company - you own an American treasury company subject to Japanese regulations.

60-70% of the capital I would say comes from outside of Japan investors as @MitchTX21 uncovered after I speculated it.

So what benefit are you actually getting besides the Japanese regulatory drag.

The money's American, the ideas are American, the Bitcoin's American - but the discount & drag is Japanese.

America is the pre-eminent Bitcoin jurisdiction in the entire world and it's not even close - no matter what larping every other jurisdiction does.

When will MetaPlanet actually become a Japanese Bitcoin Treasury Company?

[Paul Q @SteelCoreBTC]

@BritishHodl I actually think that’s what they will do as they retire the other obligations. Each instrument has a clear reference point on the credit curve. Good observation.

Keep in mind the wider impact Glyphosates have on honey bees (a key pollinator of our entire human food supply). While not an insecticide - this herbicide chemical accumulates - causing severe sublethal impairments, disrupts and compromises the bees' immune systems, has negative in-hive impacts include delayed larval development, reduced brood weight, and impaired olfactory memory. It damages the natural GPS of the honey bee between the hive and the pollen sources; they get lost and cannot make it back to the hive. (https://t.co/Par60FJxTV)

The transition path to quantum address is well documented. The challenge will be to have all the wallet holders move their tokens to this post quantum addresses. We should expect some lost BTC.

[The Bitcoin Historian @pete_rizzo_]

LEGENDARY STANFORD CRYPTOGRAPHER JUST SAID THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY QUANTUM COMPUTING DESTROYS #BITCOIN

"IF YOU THINK QUANTUM WILL AFFECT THE SECURITY OF THE BLOCKCHAIN, YOU ARE WRONG"

"WE JUST NEED TO MOVE TO POST-QUANTUM ADDRESSES AND SIGNATURES."

"THE BIG PICTURE IS VERY WELL KNOWN "

"BTC WILL SURVIVE AND SOLVE IT" 🔥

Calling for elimination of current regulatory KYC frameworks are a refreshing first step - but will not be accepted unless the same regulatory capture requires responsible parties to hold and retain hash data with the same value as traditional data. Software must also be compliant with either/ or data storage.

[Coin Bureau @coinbureau]

🚨JUST IN: SEC Commisioner calls to END mass KYC data collection.

Hester Peirce warns existing KYC/AML frameworks create huge databases of sensitive user data, making them prime targets for hacks, phishing and even physical attacks.

She is pushing zero-knowledge proofs as an alternative, allowing users to prove compliance without exposing their personal data.

@JasonPLowery I was with you through the whole explanation until you got to the use of Bitcoin for compute tokens - what a waste of high value capital - for compute. You would be much better off with a standardized utility token.

[Senator Cynthia Lummis @SenLummis]

This afternoon, Senate Democrats proved they were never truly serious about protecting consumers and preserving American leadership. I sat at the table with Senate Democrats working in good faith to get this done while they played games.

For over a year, they presented demands and the second we met them, they made new demands and moved the goal posts. Today they voted against real limitations on politicians’ personal crypto investments. They voted against protecting American consumers from the scammers and fraudsters this bill would have shut down. They voted against American leadership, and handed China and every one of our foreign competitors exactly what they wanted. Democrats chose politics over the American people—again. That’s not leadership on their part, that’s surrender to their radical, socialist base.

The once-proud Democratic party is anti-consumer and pro-illicit finance, anti-ethics, anti-free enterprise, anti-worker, anti-livable wage jobs, and pro-socialism. The Democrats are now anti-American. Sad!

@AdamBLiv Congratulation Adam!! This is good for Bitcoin and good for Strive. I hope you are able to keep, under Strive, the same editorial freedom you have now.

A cautionary tale for any corporate or academic users of AI. I’d suggest you isolate your internal work and use an AI model designed to protect your privacy and your IP…. https://t.co/GZNJx1LsjP

@ErikVoorhees Couldn’t agree more … the whole KYC process - as currently constructed - adds no value ; it only adds risk to the identity of the individual..

Once they get in office - they see all the dark corners of the economy and the tools they didn’t know they had. The “way” is to play the long game and know all treasury actions are taken to stabilize the economy and the markets.

[Lyn Alden @LynAldenContact]

The impacts of Treasury buybacks are often overstated/sensationalized, but the signal here is that Bessent = Yellen.

*Everyone* who comes into power blinks once they encounter the fiscal train. Doesn't matter what they said before.

[Paul Q @SteelCoreBTC]

That's a good question. The distinction is actually Constitutional... we are the "United of States" we are not the United States. It's both a curse and a blessing of our government structure. So the Feds act as a transfer layer of tax payer revenues with allocation of those revenues to individual states to administer the programs to their citizens. People often forget that the purpose of Congress and congressional representatives are popular (as in population) voice in each state, for that state and that state representatives at the Federal level. That role seems to be lost to many - especially those we have elected- it is not to serve their own self-interests. Each State has it's own constitution and is responsible for the citizens inside it's borders. Many forget this structure. Our legal system mirrors that structure. This is why there is so much confusion when people see posts like this and see a common sense solution - but the implementation of that common sense solution - is thwarted by the structural separation of the states. This is why Medicare is federal (across all states; centrally administered) and Medicaid is state administered (with federal money, some state tax payer money, different benefit plans, similar eligibility, different programs across states). If you look at the US Constitution it is structured to have limited, clearly defined, federal powers with the residual powers (majority) left to the State. Look at Article 1, especially Section 8 -it has the majority of federal responsibilities listed; the 10th Amendment, Article 6 (Supremacy Clause); Article 4.

@999jammy @Ferrum_Patriot @AAStack You carry the interest only for a year.... and then roll it over as BTC comes back up. You have to watch the LTV because you may get a call on the principal.

🚨CRYPTO INVESTORS: DO NOT SCAN THIS QR CODE

A fake IRS notice is being mailed to crypto holders directing them to a bogus “Digital Asset Compliance Portal.”

It looks very convincing. It isn’t real.

@BritishHodl You may need to move to Rumble to mitigate your exposure to the algorithm powers. Your messages are spot on .. I appreciate your candor and willingness to take a position.
