Exploring systems, incentives, and human behaviour. Trying to understand whats going on and the world my kids will inherit.

I was inspired to create my own version of the Bitcoin Iceberg. I’m sure everyone’s will be different, but here are the concepts, people and events that really made Bitcoin click for me.

@TFTC21 @MartyBent Anyone know why Custodia is still denied but Kraken was eventually approved?

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@dchersh @MKTGBTC @new_randy Absolutely!

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@MKTGBTC @new_randy We all know how hard it is to get someone to understand Bitcoin. In episode 3 we dive into why Bitcoin needs education and marketing to convey it’s benefits

[Bitcoin Marketing Association @MKTGBTC]

Most technologies sell themselves because the benefit is immediate.

#Bitcoin protects against risks many people don’t feel until they need it.

That’s why it needs more than awareness.

It needs education.

@zerohedge Not sure I believe that. A stoke usually comes on differently. You don’t stand around confusing and jumbling up facts for over an hour. Mayne a bad day, but it looked a lot more like dementia and everyone knew. Pretty shameful

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@FirstSquawk @BTCYN It’s an easy trap to fall into.
Infinite scrolling.
Infinite entertainment.
Infinite convenience.
Very little meaning, novelty, community, struggle, or anticipation.

@Cointelegraph AI recognize AI

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@_The_Prophet__ This is a highly rational move.
Eventually you figure out that a few years of salary, converted into assets, can start growing faster than your income.

@pete_rizzo_ Wasn’t that long ago that Jamie Dimon said he would fire JPMorgan traders caught trading Bitcoin. Everyone will come around eventually, willingly or not.

@saylordocs Aliens

@thehenryinsf @naval Yeah, quality kind of falls apart when the output becomes the input.

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@unusual_whales Really sad. One group watches their portfolios and home equity soar.

The other watches groceries, rent, insurance and interest payments completely consume their already low earnings.

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

#Bitcoin doesn’t want you to trust it, it just wants to be verified.

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@saylordocs Let’s not let the facts get in the way of moral hysteria.

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@Bitcoin_Teddy So true, and such a dangerous rabbit hole.

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@unusual_whales Everyone can measure subs and token consumption. Very few can measure actual productivity.
I guess we’ll see how much the redesigned workflows, incentives, and products drive growth and if it can keep up with unbelievable expectations.

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@BTCtreasuries Big moves from them recently. Good to see another player with Strategy level conviction and execution.

[Dave O'Brien @davesob]

@Cointelegraph Italy actually needs this more than most. They have weak growth, aging demographics, high debt, and younger generations increasingly locked out of wealth creation who need some new financial rails.

@WatcherGuru Italy really needs this. They have weak growth, aging demographics, high debt, and younger generations locked out of wealth creation.
