NOT April Fools
I sold all of my #bitcoin this morning. I feel free. I'm going to wipe my digital life of most bitcoin related things.
True story: I bought bitcoin last decade, squatted on it (HODL), and rent seeked a return of over 10,000%. It became 90% of my net worth,>
@pete_rizzo_@BitcoinMagazine What bothers you is that after the endless Satoshi worship and research you’ve done, is the evidence was right in front of you, and you never saw it. Took an outsider to show us. This article is a cope. #bitcon
Ok guys, we're past who #Satoshi is and moved on to whether Todd still has access to the #BTC. What's the plan for all the Satoshi merch, handles, and statues? They're looking cringe as NFT avatars now. Also, what has this embarrassment taught us about personality cults/ideology?
I dumped #bitcoin at the VERY top. Good decision. I’m looking to acquire some apolitical freedom money. If you have a visible or active founder, lack privacy by default, and are not whittled down to perform a single function, you’re disqualified. Only #Monero has fit my search.

@resistancemoney 1: self-custody, affordable tx fees, non-public ledger, and counterfeit difficulty…physical cash.
2: dominate Forex, distribute your language, and make certain everything has a price quoted in you…USD
3: instant settlement, zero chargebacks, and penny fee(s)…FedNow
@ErikVoorhees Yeah abolishing it will magically solve the problem. Imagine gmail getting rid of KYC and how much innocent people would stand to gain. Oh wait, gmail doesn’t have KYC.
@thomas_fahrer 1: There’s a much smaller group at the bottom interested compared to before (return % >$70k can do that). 2: There’s group in the middle turned off by right wing branding culture. And a group on top with no interest beyond speculation and tax games, but lacking 1 & 2 feeder fish
@rajatsoni Agreed, that’s impossible for the world’s majority—which it shouldn’t be. That lack of L1 UTXO ownership has immense tradeoffs when operating off-chain with any scaling overlay. You’re separating the fixed monetary properties from the fixed liberties. Longterm it’s deadly.
@BitcoinPierre It still represents stability, trust, and liquidity in global markets. That’s not going away anytime soon regardless of the crisis narratives. Riot (your public) has benefited from it, like many, esp in America. It’s not patriotism, it’s reliance, that goes for BTC’s quote price.
