🥷@craigraw just shipped Silent Payments receiving in Sparrow Wallet!
One Bitcoin address. Reuse it forever. Zero privacy loss.
This is one of the biggest privacy upgrades Bitcoin has had in years. Here's why it matters and what Silent Payments actually are. 🧵
The land under these panels will never be farmed again.
Potato growing associations nationwide will not buy potatoes grown on ex-solar sites.
Why?
The panels leach heavy metals, as well as drop glass shards and microplastics onto the soil below them.
In a mass commercial arrangement, vegetation below the panels is soaked in herbicides.
The fertile farmland is gone forever.
The largest Ethereum layer 2, which has also been regularly praised by Vitalik as being the most decentralized L2, just froze $100m worth of ETH that was hacked by criminals.
Are you finally starting to realize the bitcoin maxis were right?
@heavilyarmedc Lots of KYC "leaks" and no right to defend your own property. Consequences are more severe for people who defend themselves than for the attackers.
🇱🇧 Dans ce quartier de Beyrouth, on ne compte plus les morts civiles des bombes israéliennes. On est dans le centre ville, dans une zone civile densément peuplée ; gens ici sont terrorisés
Le crime de guerre dans son absolu
Let me explain what just happened 👇
5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil.
5 minutes…
These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch.
There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made.
Someone in that room picked up a phone.
And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars.
American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it.
This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions.
This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight.
You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question.
Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that.
The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…
At current prices, the US national debt grows by more than 1 btc every second.
It means that the 1M btc left to be mined over the next +100 years represents ~11 days of debt increase.
