@DocumentingBTC @coffeebreak_YT @coffeebreak_YT just coming across as ignorant… Too many weird faces and screams, and very few arguments.
Coffee, usually a fan but please read a bit more about monetary history and study some fundamentals before ever talking about this again.

If you bought $1 of Bitcoin every time @PeterSchiff tweeted about Bitcoin (p~1,836 times since 2013), you'd have ~0.174 BTC today — cost basis $1,836, current value ~$11,500 (at ~$66,000/BTC), for a ~525% gain.

If you bought $1 of gold instead every time he tweeted about Bitcoin, you'd have ~0.45 oz — cost basis still $1,836, current value ~$2,300–$2,400 (at ~$5,070/oz), for a ~25–35% gain.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

FACT: In 1933, U.S. citizens were required to surrender their gold to the government under Executive Order 6102.

The order criminalized most forms of private gold ownership in an effort to prevent hoarding during the Great Depression and to stabilize the banking system.

IMPLICATION: Physical scarcity alone does not guarantee sovereignty. For true sovereignty, a monetary asset must be difficult to confiscate, easy to transport, and verifiable without reliance on centralized custody.

I used to think globalization was just the background of modern life.

After spending time digging into Davos 2026, that assumption no longer holds.

Global interdependence has become weaponized. Neutral money matters again.

If Bitcoin haters were truly confident about Bitcoin failing, they wouldn’t need the same tired “bubble” analogies.

It’s not skepticism… it’s intellectual laziness.

Bitcoin isn’t one thing. It’s monetary policy, settlement rails, energy arbitrage, game theory, and geopolitics rolled into one system. Reducing it to “musical chairs” just advertises a lack of curiosity.

Most people think blockchain began with Bitcoin in 2009.

It didn’t.

The oldest blockchain started in the early 1990s and is still running today. Anchored in public newspapers, it was designed to solve a fundamental problem of the digital age: how to make digital history provable and tamper-resistant.

Hashing data, chaining it through time, and anchoring it to a public record is one of the fundamental building blocks of Bitcoin.

Sentiments of Venezuelans

I’m going to say this once, and I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable.

If you have never lived in Venezuela
If you did not grow up there
If you did not watch your country collapse in real time
If you did not stand in food lines
If you did not watch your parents lose everything they built
If you did not have to leave your home with nothing

Then shut the fuck up.

You do not have an opinion.
Your opinion does not matter.
And you don’t get to lecture anyone about what’s happening there.

I’m Venezuelan.
I lived there most of my life until my early twenties.
I watched my country go from a functioning democracy to full blown socialism right in front of my eyes.

This is not politics to me.
This is trauma.

Before socialism, Venezuela was not perfect, but it worked.
There was trade.
There was money coming in.
There was investment from the US.
There were jobs.
There was food.
There was medicine.

My family had five businesses.
We had our home
We had investments.
We had a future.

Then the government started nationalizing everything.
Private companies were taken.
Foreign investors were pushed out.
Imports were blocked.
Price controls destroyed production.
Corruption exploded.

And everything died.

Not slowly.
Violently.

People didn’t suddenly become poor because of “capitalism” or “the US” or whatever bullshit slogan people like to repeat online.

They became poor because socialism destroyed incentives, destroyed production, destroyed trust, and destroyed hope.

People today in Venezuela are not debating ideology.
They are trying to survive.

They are trying to find food.
Trying to find medication.
Trying to keep their families alive.

So when I see people in the West posting from comfortable homes, full fridges, stable currencies, and safe streets talking about “imperialism” or “US bad” or “Trump this or that”

No.
It’s not complicated.
You’re just ignorant.

China is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Russia is not rebuilding Venezuela.
Cartels are not rebuilding Venezuela.

They are stealing.
They are extracting.
They are draining what’s left.

If the US comes in and reinvests
If refineries get rebuilt
If infrastructure gets restored
If imports open back up
If food, water, and medicine become accessible again
If people can work and earn with dignity

Then yes.
Let them take all the oil they want.

Because at least something gets built instead of destroyed.

This is something to celebrate.
Not because it’s perfect.
But because for the first time in a long time, there is hope.

Hope that families can eat.
Hope that people don’t have to flee their country.
Hope that Venezuela can function again.

If you’ve never lived through a country collapsing
If you’ve never watched socialism destroy everything around you
If you’ve never had to leave your home because staying meant starvation

Then again
Shut the fuck up.

This isn’t theory.
This isn’t politics.
This is lived experience.

VENEZUELA'S OPPOSITION LEADER SAID #BITCOIN WILL BE A "KEY PART" OF THEIR NATIONAL RESERVES

THE NEXT BTC COUNTRY. LOVE TO SEE IT 🔥🔥

@Leia1492

Bitcoin is NOT YET being used as a medium of exchange (at least not broadly).

But be aware that 750 currencies have existed since 1700 alone. Only 20% remain and all have been heavily devalued (including all the ones you mention). History has shown, that reserve currencies rise and fall time and time again.

Time will tell, but history has shown that eventually humanity settles on the best money.

After some time studying monetary history and Bitcoin's technology and incentive structure, one eventually comes to the realization that Bitcoin is simply better and harder money.

[Proof Of Knowledge @de_dompierre]

@julianhosp What is your point?

Despite haters like you, Bitcoin still has a fair chance of becoming a global currency. I hope it does because it moves the world away from domination through fiat toward collaboration. In my view, the world desperately needs neutral money.

What do you hope for other than Bitcoin failing? Are you open to changing your mind?

I’m genuinely glad Nicolás Maduro was captured.

Venezuela has suffered enormously under an illegitimate and destructive regime, and accountability matters. I truly hope this moment marks the beginning of a democratic recovery that brings back dignity, prosperity, and peace to the Venezuelan people.

At the same time, it’s worth being honest about why Venezuela matters so much to the U.S.

Venezuela sits at the intersection of oil, money, and power. The country has the largest oil reserves in the world, and specifically of heavy crude, the kind U.S. refineries still depend on. And since oil replaced gold as the anchor of the dollar after 1971, it has become monetary infrastructure.

In this piece I connect Maduro’s capture to heavy oil, the birth of the petrodollar, and why tying money to geopolitics makes conflict easier to finance and harder to escape.

In the midst of the renewed gold and silver hype, two claims about Bitcoin keep resurfacing:

1. Bitcoin isn’t scarce: it’s just code, and code can be copied.
2. Bitcoin has no fundamental value.

Both are deeply wrong.

If you find either of these claims convincing, I suggest you take a few minutes to read my latest article.

After language, money is the most fundamental human network.

[Proof Of Knowledge @de_dompierre]

Among all human networks, money stands out as the most universal and consequential. Money is fundamentally a communication network. It is a tool for conveying value and enabling trade. Just as language allows us to communicate ideas, money allows us to communicate economic value.

Bitcoin is not code... it is a human network.

To say you can copy Bitcoin is like saying you can copy the TCP/IP protocol or copy the English language...

Where does this hate come from? @julianhosp

Money is fundamentally a communication network. It is a tool for conveying value and enabling trade. Just as language allows us to communicate ideas, money allows us to communicate economic value.

Bitcoin is not a ponzi scheme... it is simply an alternative to our current debt based fiat system.

I hope your post ages poorly... hope is better than hate.
