BREAKING: The market cap of #Bitcoin is now officially larger than the market cap of silver, at $1.736 trillion.
Bitcoin is now the 8th largest asset in the world.
Here's a short history of people who have publicly attacked Bitcoin, and how it is going for them:
Tim Buckley (ex-CEO Vanugard, who missed the Bitcoin ETF): gone
Matthew Sparks (New Scientist journalist who wrote hitpieces about Bitcoin): ratioed, community noted, Twitter account deactivated
Sierra Club/Earthjustice (wrote attack pieces on Bitcoin and energy): rebutted, have ended Bitcoin attacks.
GreenpeaceUSA (funded by Ripple Chair Chris Larson to run an anti-Bitcoin campaign): bleeding subs, head of campaign left, @changethecode twitter handle and website inactive, campaign acknowledged internally as "having only succeeded in uniting Bitcoiners against us". internal factions and recriminations
Senator Warren (attacked Bitcoin using multiple attack vectors): ratioed, community noted, told by her own party to shut it, anti-crypto "army" revealed to be a handful of academics and non-practicing lawyers. Political influence diminished
Alex de Vries/Digiconomist: PhD student/ employee of central bank DNB who wrote junk-science hit-pieces on Bitcoin: methods utterly discredited in peer reviewed research. Losing followers. No activity on Twitter in 5 months. Now writing hitpieces on AI
Sam Bankman Fried (bribed politicians, stole customer funds, publicly attacked Bitcoin): in jail
Ben McKenzie (Actor, who tried his hand at attacking Bitcoin): Twitter followers plateaued then started reducing as he started attacking Bitcoin. Currently losing followers every day. Gone from media spotlight.
Other Journalists who've attacked Bitcoin: ratioed, credibility called to question, rebutted, unable to issue a rebuttal defence
It's now becoming clear that history will remember those who attacked Bitcoin in the same pantheon of people who dismissed the Internet: ignorant, uninformed and wrong.
Will be interesting to see who else puts up their hand to be on the wrong side of history.
Right now, its only GreenpeaceUSA, the EU, and a diminishing handful of journalists
PubKey’s Damn Daniel takes us through the early history of #bitcoin, and why there was even a #BitcoinPizzaDay to begin with.
There’s more to the story than just a couple of lousy pies.
Soooooo we set up shop across from
the Coinbase pizza truck charging crypto for pizza after making you sign up and blah blah blah KYC so so so ACTUALLY bitcoin pizza day is about charity and celebration of the first bitcoin transaction, and that’s why we gave away pizza for free to all people in the park without asking for their Social Security number.
#bitcoinpizzaday @PubKey_NYC & for heavens sake if you are going to sign up for an exchange choose @Gemini … they are moons better than Coinbase.
The community/echosystem needs good wallets with focus on ux & ERROR PREVENTION, Instead of vaporware tokens and hype framing projects.
Good luck #Exodus $EXOD #bitcoin#btc

#Bitcoin is at 4.7% world adoption, this is the same as Jan 1999 for Internet Adoption.
You are still early... and that's backed by the best data available.
