Last night, I gave a Bitcoin talk to a crypto club, half expecting wailing & gnashing of teeth whenever I eviscerated crypto narratives. But even before the speech, I was pleasantly surprised how much those I spoke to already agreed with me and how receptive they were to Bitcoin.
@roger__9000 On the contrary, the price has been SUPPORTED by institutions, if anything. We can see the out-rotation of millions of these early adopter coins on the blockchain. We do not need to invoke "price suppression" conspiracies to explain the disappointing price action.
@roger__9000 It's better for Bitcoin's price that MONEY adopts it, not PEOPLE. Most people don't have savings, they have DEBT and those who do adopt it and increase their wealth will likely want to realise the benefit by spending or selling. It's institutions who are doing most of the buying.
@roger__9000 Millions of BTC were dumped or spent by "real adopters" in 2025 and absorbed by institutions in order to store their already significant wealth rather than buy houses, cars and holidays with. Without them, this would have tanked Bitcoin back to the triple figures.
@Vivek4real_ Meaningless data. During that time, prices on MT GOX diverged significantly from the rest of the market because the exchange was in its death throes. Those who caught the knife there at $120 likely never got their Bitcoin.
The bottom of the real market was closer to $180.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Police just released the bodycam footage in the killing of 18-year-old white male Henry Nowak and it CONFIRMS the police LAUGHED HIM OFF when he said he got stabbed
Straight-up says: "I've been stabbed."
COP: "Whereabouts? Don't think you have, mate!"
NOWAK: "*Groaning* I CAN'T BREATHE."
COP: "Put your hand in the cuff."
Nowak says he can't breathe again.
Then again while they just stand there.
"We have to check [if he was stabbed], don't we?"
THESE COPS ARE COMPLICIT IN THE MURDER!!
THERE SHOULD BE WORLDWIDE OUTRAGE.
@Danny_5079@saifedean@jeremiahrogers In the event that the premise you are desperately hoping for comes to pass, please explain how this will actually break Bitcoin and stop new blocks of monetary transactions continuing to be mined onto its blockchain ledger?
Communists are out in force trying to convince us they 'don't exist' after killing over 100 million people.
They're not 'well-meaning' ideologues.
Collectivism - whether it's socialism, marxism, communism, national socialism, or fascism - are all extremely dangerous and violent ideas that weaponise envy, praise theft, and promise riches while bringing nothing but poverty and slavery.
@NickMcKim Stop concerning yourself with what others have got. It's not the billionaires with their hands in other people's pockets, it's greedy communist parasites like YOU!
Australia does not have a wealth distribution problem, it has a cost of government problem.
@Neg8BadFaith@joseph_welbourn@leamuirleyn@realDonaldTrump The world doesn't revolve around you, Clarence. The post wasn't for you, it was for @realDonaldTrump, on the off-chance that it reaches him or someone on his team.
When making requests of people, it's better to compliment them with something to live up to rather than insult them.
@realDonaldTrump you are a man of your word. The World knows that.
As you know the SDNY is a rogue district executing witch hunts.
You successfully escaped their witch hunt against you. However, the Samourai developer team of Keonne and Bill were not successful.
They were wrongfully imprisoned by judicial manipulation and dishonesty for writing software code which we all know the US Supreme Court has rule represents free speech.
FINcen advised the SDNY the software code and actions were not a crime.
Frankly, Mr. President your ambition to make the USA the Bitcoin capital of the World will fail because the SDNY has circumvented and discredited your desires by demonstrating to the World the USA cannot be the Bitcoin capital of the World because the SDNY will simply imprison the very people who can and will make the USA the Bitcoin capital of the World.
The SDNY is preventing your ambitions from coming to fruition.
They have discredited you in the World’s eyes by falsely imprisoning the very people who are the people that can and will make the USA the Bitcoin capital of the World.
Because of the SDNY, the World has a dimensioned respect for your authority to make the USA the Bitcoin capital.
Mr. President with all due respect, until you negate the SDNY’s successful efforts to make a mockery out the rule of law in America, you will be seen weaker and subservient to the SDNY because they are falsing imprisoning the very Bitcoin developers you need to fulfill your ambitions.
In summary the SDNY, via the imprisonment of the Samourai developers, have discredited you and your administration in the eyes of the World.
The SDNY has damaged your creditable and the value that the USA could offer as the Bitcoin capital of the World.
However, here is the good news. By pardoning the Samourai developers from the fraudulent conviction extracted under duress, you prove to the World:
1. You are more honest and powerful than the SDNY;
2. American can and will be the Bitcoin capital of the World.
Mr. President your credibility is at risk here.
Now is the time to demonstrate your leadership and your respect for the rule of law in American.
The average president will not rise to this occasion because it takes courage. However, you are not an average president.
You are a president of honor and respect for the full of law.
Mr. President by pardoning the Samourai developers you send a clear message to the World.
That message says: “Donald J Trump will not let the SDNY conduct witch hunts against innocent people to the detriment of the best interest of America”.
Mr. President, this is your time to set precedent that the SDNY does not rule this country on any policy, especially whether America can be the Bitcoin Capital of the World or not.
Thank you Mr. President. The United States of America is monitoring your attention and action on this position.
We want to see you on the right side of history by defeating the SDNY’s efforts to discredit your desire to Make America Great Again.
Thank you for all you do and thank you for pardoning the Samourai developers.

Western Civilization didn't flourish because "white males" stopped other groups from succeeding.
The West thrived because of rational thought, individual rights, and free enterprise.
"White males" that invented the steam engine, electric generation, the combustion engine, flight, and space exploration did not do so because they "stole" the ideas of minorities.
These inventions helped lift mankind out of ignorance and hardship, improving the quality of life for all of humanity.
"White males" didn't oppress the entire world, they helped make it a better place.
"White males" didn't oppress everyone's rights, they invented the idea of rights and paid in blood to liberate tens of millions of people.
"White males" didn't invent slavery, they ended it.
"White males" didn't invent tyranny, they devised a form of government to end it.
Destroying Western Civilization isn't about empowering groups that were "oppressed." It is about tearing down civilization itself so that globalist parasites can rule over all of us.
@Bitcoinconfasia "There's been a reintroduction of actual brain power back into bitcoin"... says a grown ass man promoting juvenile retarded monkey jpeg spam on Bitcoin while dressed in a clown costume.
Is this what "serious engineers working on serious problems" looks like?
It really does give me the shits when a celebrity says something and all of a sudden we're all supposed to stand back in awe and say 'Wow, the celebrity said something so it must be right!'
So Dave Hughes has woken up and realised that Anthony Albanese is a liar and a fraud and probably a poof. Who gives a Vindaloo crap?
This pain in the arse 'comedian' admitted to voting for Magoo and Dan 'The Mulgrave Hunchback' Andrews. So sorry pal, you're still one of those dickheads who voted for a low IQ Communist, assisting him in becoming the most destructive and divisive Prime Minister Australia has ever had.
If Hughesy was too dumb to see what an utter knob Magoo was before the election, then I really don't care for your dim-witted opinion now.
I'm still trying to figure out why Dave Hughes is a celebrity in the first place and why anyone should care what he has to say.
Peter Dutton!!!!

Prediction: for future generations, 'Zionist' will be a worse curse word than 'Nazi', and it will be used to describe the most barbaric, sadistic, sickeningly selfish and evil behaviors known to the human family
@El_FreedomFairy@BitcoinconfIRL@emirates Ha ha. Yep. It was my bed for 14 hours. I was put on a full flight after Emirates changed the schedule, but I could choose from a number of alternative flight combos after I phoned them. So I chose this almost empty flight and got a free transit hotel in Dubai! Best flight ever!
On my way to the ancestral homeland for the first time and @BitcoinconfIRL, at which I am honoured to be MCing the afternoon sessions on Saturday and Sunday.
I just found out that @emirates has free Starlink internet on their flights now too!
