Building HODL21 ⛓️ — a trust-powered, time-locked network on Bitcoin. Scripts, sats, and spiritual math. God = Love = Bitcoin. No middlemen. Just covenant.
@nickprince@brian_armstrong Everything is still stateless.
You can pay — but you can’t commit.
You can transact — but you can’t build a relationship.
Without a trust layer, this becomes an extractive system where agents optimize for short-term gain, incentive alignment over time is missing..
Last night I captured over 60k photos of the largest supermoon of the year using two telescopes to reveal the hidden color in 119 megapixels. I call the print "Artemis Beckons", after the next crewed lunar mission.

Genuinely, I stopped caring about spreading the message of Bitcoin as soon as we hit $100,000.
It hit me hard that night.
I knew it would come obviously but when it did - some part of my fire died inside me.
I was in South America.
On my balcony.
Overlooking the whole city, smoking a cigar.
One side of me was happy, very happy.
The other side felt like a failure knowing I could have done more in the past 3 years.
The truth is 0.3-0.5% of the world can afford ONE Bitcoin after $100,000.
And 80% of them feel they’re already rich and life is already good.
They don’t even want to know if they have a problem.
The other 20% will do what their advisor tells them to do and stay extremely wealthy. They don’t need a 100x. They need a 4x to stay the wealthiest people in the world.
And I haven’t quite known what to do since that day.
We’re back to the reality of wealth, most will not make it.
Happy hippies can dance around all they want, fly to all the conferences they want, type as many posts they want about “community”.
The opportunity for rapid wealth accumulation through Bitcoin is finished.
For most - it’s now a savings technology, which they don’t care about because they’re poor and they want to 30x and quit their job and say fuck you to whoever they’re mad at.
They don’t want to learn about sound money, they don’t care because they don’t have enough money to even know they have a problem.
5% will make it, but they’ll make it because of the hard work they commit to in business or job, and hopefully they pivot those earnings into Bitcoin to accelerate it.
But the reality is…
Finality of true scarcity is one hell of a motherfucker.
An OCEAN miner made a block rejecting all known arbitrary data
His block earned 3.134 BTC = $352,969
If he would have included the available trash he would have added an extra 0.00293294 = $325.46
That's an additional 0.09% overall revenue
A wise decision that all miners should replicate
We’re at the point where something will be AI slop and you won’t even mind because it will be witty and satirical. Hollywood has become decentralized to the individual. The only limits are now your ability to articulate in language what you want to see.
it’s happening!
