@ofctimallen Thank you for your steadfast faith in Jesus and for devouring the Bible year after year like it was the last book on earth. Don’t worry about tomorrow — it’ll take care of itself. See you in 2026!
I'm old enough to remember when Michael Saylor talked about Bitcoin being ethical money, and shitcoins being unethical scams. How the mighty have fallen
If we don’t actually spend Bitcoin, it will function as a speculative investment asset — essentially becoming just another volatile tech stock — rather than evolving into a widely used form of money.
@JM_speakss For my peace of mind, whenever I create a transaction, I always decode and verify both the unsigned and signed raw transaction hex by converting them into a readable format using https://t.co/PMYlG2nfiU before broadcasting.
I’d rather diversify by selling 0.1 BTC to ten different people at $250 per month for 32 months than commit 1 BTC to a single buyer at $1,000 per month for 81 months.
Scenario Two:
When Harry met Sally online, the price of Bitcoin was $80,962.03. They agreed that Harry would sell Sally 0.1 BTC for a total of $8,096.20 on a layaway plan of $250 per month for 32 months. The Bitcoin would be held securely in a 2-of-3 multisignature wallet coordinated by TrinityMultiSig.
Harry and Sally exchanged their extended public keys (Zpub) and each independently registered the trade with TrinityMultiSig to obtain the third public key, completing the multisig setup.
Sally made 12 monthly payments totaling $3,096.20. When Bitcoin’s price later rose to $100,000, Sally lost her job, stopped making payments, and defaulted on contract.
According to the default clause in their agreement, Sally was entitled to receive 0.03824262 BTC back — an amount calculated based on the original Bitcoin price at the time the contract was signed.
However, Sally changed her mind and refused to sign the transaction releasing the funds. Harry filed a formal complaint with TrinityMultiSig, submitting his contract with Sally as evidence. After a thorough investigation, TrinityMultiSig ruled in Harry’s favor and released 0.06175738 BTC to him.
Sally received the remaining balance of 0.03824262 BTC, which she was free to keep or sell. The multisig service then closed, finalizing the resolution of the trade.
The multisig service successfully enforced the original default clause, providing a fair and neutral resolution despite the price increase.
Outcome:
At the time of default (Bitcoin at $100,000):
Sally had paid $3,096.20 and received 0.03824262 BTC, now worth $3,824.26.
→ She came out $728.06 ahead compared to her total payments.
Harry received $3,096.20 in payments plus 0.06175738 BTC, now worth $6,175.74.
→ Total value to Harry: $9,271.94
Both parties benefited from the default resolution:
Sally recovered more value than she had paid in.
Harry ended up with roughly the full current market value of the 0.1 BTC ($10,000), split between cash already received and the BTC he retained.

@BTCBreadMan Hmm, contract locks in today's price of $80,813.44 for 1 BTC. Buyer pays $12k over time then defaults when BTC is at $100,000. Buyer receives 0.14849 BTC (the $12k worth at original contract price). Seller keeps the remaining ~0.8515 BTC valued $85,150.00

The question isn't will you find a bitcoin block? — it's can you find a block?
Don't get hung up on the odds. Instead, ask if you're set up to even compete. If the answer is yes, you're in the game.
@kit_sats Missed all the previous bear markets — hadn’t even joined X/Twitter yet. By the time I realized we were in one, it was basically over. That’s what happens when you only check the price right before buying non-KYC BTC 😂
