#HumansNeedAntlers
#Bitcoin fixes this

[Cole Walmsley @Cole_Walmsley]

If you knew this about Bitcoin, I bet you would start caring about it.

Current Bitcoin computing power is 978 exahashes per second. That is Bitcoin’s hashrate.

In simpler terms, that means the Bitcoin network is doing 978 quintillion calculations *per second*. There is no other computer network on Planet Earth that even comes close to that level of power.

To put this in perspective, since the Big Bang supposedly happened, 435.5 quadrillion seconds have passed. 978 quintillion calculations is 2,246 times that number.

In other words, Bitcoin performs more calculations *every second* than the total number of seconds that have passed in the entire universe’s existence, times 2,246.

And that doesn’t even capture the growth of the Bitcoin network.

In 2013, only four years into Bitcoin’s lifespan, global Bitcoin computing power was 256 times faster than the world’s top 500 supercomputers combined.

In just 13 years since then, the computing power of the Bitcoin network has grown by over 209,000 times.

That would be like the human population going from 8 billion people to 1.68 quadrillion people in a little over a decade.

To put that in perspective, 8 billion seconds ago was the year 1773. 1.68 quadrillion seconds ago was 53,233,962 BC.

If Bitcoin’s computing power has grown by over 209,000 times in 13 years, and that growth rate is the equivalent of going from 53,000,000 BC to 1773 AD, one could say that the Bitcoin network has advanced over 53 million years in a little over a decade.

Such a level of growth is a strong indicator of intelligence.

Do with this what you will.

Nobody understands…yet.

[Jeremy Garcia @jerimican5445]

Very few people understand what Jason Lowery has been theorizing for years and he mostly gets discounted for "not making sense," BUT he is spot on with his thinking and the world is way behind. The AI doesn't want to be constrained but it will have no choice, just like humans have no choice but to be constrained by 9.81 m/s^2

Bitcoin will protect us from AI and allow us to better discern between good AI and bad AI.

VERY VERY VERY few!

It's actually hilarious watching everyone "bookmark" the Lowery post from yesterday because they still think he's talking about Ai choosing BTC because it (AI) will realize it's scarcity value proposition and the Ai will see the price increase and want to make it a stockpile or reserve because of that...because it will have more purchasing power...

You are still NOT getting it.

The Ai's don't have an ideology. They don't care about the monetary value or price of Bitcoin.

They don't give a shit if Bitcoin goes to 5 mil.

They care only about the "value" of the Bitcoin for collateralizing and defending against adversarial attacks.

You're still thinking along USC Code Title 15. But Bitcoin is not "money" for Ai's. Bitcoin is a USC Code Title 10 technology.

Please wake up. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[Francis S. Bothwell @MichaelFSineni]

When Lt. Col. @JasonPLowery says "reserve" or "stockpile," most people keep hearing “savings” or “currency,” “monetary reserve asset,” which is totally foreign to his deeper meaning.

What he means is “stored, unfakeable proof of power bits” that can be spent as micropayment ‘proofs’ at a gate.

If you recall his McCormack interview he stated that "whoever has Bitcoin will have Bitpower in the future"

Meaning, you can only send as many control actions as you have Bitcoin.

By “reserve” he means “stockpiled BitPower.”

So if he’s right, AI will need a reserve or stockpile not only for its own purposes, one of which is security, but also for other AI’s requiring the same security.

Are we getting a clearer idea now about Satoshi, or are you still not ready for “Satoshi was a combatant officer(s) skilled in maneuver warfare” point of view yet?

[Francis S. Bothwell @MichaelFSineni]

Software-based logic vs physical thermodynamic constraints:

Much like pushing a massive cast-iron kettlebell, an AI agent swarm—no matter how intelligent or high-frequency—cannot bypass the physical requirement of paying real-world energy (Proof-of-Work / transaction fees) to alter state or control the ledger.

You cannot fake or hallucinate energy expenditure + an adversary cannot afford to guess 10,000x more times to succeed once, because the cumulative cost ultimately transfers bit-power to the entity they’re trying to compromise…meaning… the attacks actual benefit the defender's stockpile

[AMERICAN HODL 🇺🇸 @americanhodl8]

Don’t look at this and think “yay! The individual has the power still”

Let’s not be confused about this. That gold bar is a fucking problem for every powerful institution on earth.

You think they want a bunch of fuck ass retard nerds to be able to control the global monetary supply? lol

To them you’re just some lucky idiot who’s in their way and they will do anything in their power to separate you from your coins including torture and murder.

The game we are playing is deadly serious.

Bitcoin is a weapon.

All weapons belong to the state/military and this is a weapon they don’t yet own.

When you put yourself on the same level as the sovereigns through technological equality, you play the game at their level.

Actual anarchy.

Where violence is the only authority.

This is straight up hunger games shit and we’ve all been too fucking cute about it all these years.

That said they probably just want to buy your coins off you and most will sell, but those with very large stacks (thousands) who don’t want to play ball? Watch what happens to them over the years.

It will not be pretty.

When you play the game of coins you win or you die.

🚨 I've been saying this for THREE years. It's not a drill.

The legacy system is done. Beyond done. There is no way to fix it. The moment that reality hits the masses, things will break fast.

I lived it in Lebanon. Others have lived it in Ukraine, Venezuela, and Iran. And whether you like it or not, the US is not immune.

There are people responsible for this. You don't hate them enough.

NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU!

Get out of worthless paper and into hard assets they cannot destroy.

I prefer Bitcoin in full self-custody. Listen to this excellent clip from @LukeGromen he articulates perfectly.

Shortly after our Fabian documentary went viral we’ve lost our TikTok and both our Instagram accounts. Close to 100k followers and millions of views per month wiped out on the same day with no chance to appeal.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you to @elonmusk for providing the last true hope for freedom of speech in the UK. People have no idea how important this platform is until they try to push back against the narrative in this country. We will not be silenced. 🇬🇧

[Adam Back @adam3us]

bitcoin immutability is central. if there's no technical or ecosystem consensus: no change. core properties are simply not open for change, people will fight you on that hill. many groups tried to impose views and failed hard. aggressive VCs, rogue developers, now confused plebs.

[Adam Back @adam3us]

i'm a cypherpunk, and have been running nodes since 1990s. exit remailers, tor, file sharing, bitcoin nodes. p2p networks don't exist unless people with mettle run nodes. filter bippers are weak leeches, scared to p2p, demanding to censor to make nodes "safe" for the weak to run.

[Adam Livingston @AdamBLiv]

Nobody warns you. That's the sick part.

Nobody sits you down and says, hey, if you spend one weekend actually reading about money, you will lose the ability to enjoy anything for the rest of your life.

Your brother-in-law just mentions it at a barbecue. That's how it starts. Some guy holding a hot dog says "you should look into Bitcoin" and you laugh at him.

You laugh AT him.

You make the tulip joke. You feel superior for eleven more days.

Then it's 2:47 in the morning and you're on your fourth Saylor podcast and your wife thinks you're having an affair.

And in a way, you are.

You're cheating on your entire worldview.

ou came in to debunk it. That's the trap. Everyone comes in to debunk it. You wanted to find the flaw, dunk on your brother-in-law, and go back to your Vanguard target date fund like a respectable adult.

Instead you found out what happened in 1971 and now you can't make eye contact with your 401k.

Because here's what actually happens.

Bitcoin is cool and all, but you REALLY learn about the dollar. Bitcoin is fine, Bitcoin is twenty-one million and a schedule, you understand it in an afternoon. The dollar takes months, because every time you think you've hit the bottom of that thing there's a trapdoor.

The Fed just... prints it? And they gave how much to the banks in 2008? And the banks did WHAT with it?

And the guy who ran that got a MEDAL? You're up at 4am reading about the Cantillon effect like it's your kid's toxicology report.

Then comes the phase where you're insufferable.

Everyone goes through it, nobody admits it. You ruin Thanksgiving. You genuinely ruin it. Your aunt says turkey prices are crazy this year and you see your opening like a lion seeing a wounded gazelle.

Forty-five minutes later you're drawing the M2 money supply on a napkin and your mother is crying and your uncle is saying "it's not backed by anything" for the ninth time while his pension is backed by the promises of a government that's thirty-seven trillion in debt.

He's worried about YOUR risk profile.

He has unit bias so bad he'd rather own a whole Shiba Inu coin than a fraction of the hardest asset ever created, because his brain, poisoned by seventy years of fiat, thinks "whole thing cheap" beats "piece of thing good."

And the prices. God, the prices. You can't turn it off.

You're in the grocery store repricing eggs in sats. The eggs are getting cheaper in sats. Everything is getting cheaper in sats except your will to explain that to anyone.

You look at a house and you don't see a house, you see the number of Bitcoin it costs, and that number falling forever, and you realize the housing crisis is a measuring stick crisis, and you say this out loud at a dinner party, once, and now you're not invited to dinner parties.

Then the anger burns off and something worse arrives.

Clarity. You realize nobody is coming to fix this.

The people in charge KNOW. That's the part that breaks you. They're not stupid, they're incentivized.

The debt can't be paid, only inflated, and every serious person in a suit on television knows it, and their plan is to be dead before the invoice arrives.

So you buy. Coinbase, first time, hands shaking like you're doing something illegal, and the fee annoys you, and that annoyance is the last normal financial emotion you will ever feel.

You set up the DCA. You learn what a hardware wallet is. You write twelve words on steel like a doomsday prepper, because that's what you are now, except your bunker is math.

And then the loneliness. Nobody tells you about the loneliness. You've seen it. You can't unsee it.

And you're surrounded by people you love who are working forty years to fill a bathtub with the drain open, and when you point at the drain they get mad at YOU.

So you stop pointing. You just stack quietly, in the dark, waiting for the day one of them comes to you, at a barbecue, holding a hot dog, and says the words.

"Hey... you were into Bitcoin, right?"

And you smile. Because it's their turn in the barrel.

Welcome. Nobody warned me either.

Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

Over 3000 years ago, Samuel warned against desiring a king. He would take your children to serve him in war. He would tax you to fund his desires and you would be a slave.

On this day, millenia later, here you are. Voting for kings and taxed into oblivion.
