The record of energy spent is the magic. It allows us to form objective global consensus. Nobody can fake a record of energy spent. This is the essence of proof-of-work.

True. That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

Most of my followers know the answer to this, but for anyone curious, here’s an honest, nuanced answer: /1
$JPM's Jamie Dimon on bitcoin: "I'll just challenge the group to one other thing: how do you know it ends at 21 million? You all read the algorithms? You guys all believe that? I don't know, I've always been a skeptic of stuff like that."

A country made #Bitcoin legal tender and the media still shills Elon and the potential to buy expensive Teslas. No one cares about Tesla and no one spends Bitcoin on Teslas. People care about actual Bitcoin adoption. Congrats El Salvador! 🙌💪🚀

#Bitcoin was built from the ground up by tech nerds, monetary theory enthusiasts, and anti-authoritarians. Bitcoin does not need the celebrities and influencers. Stop giving them your energy. Get back to building.

Makes me sad that people see bitcoin as just a gambling opportunity. #Bitcoin is the invention of verifiable digital scarcity. It is a major breakthrough in computer science.

precise. even the core developers, protocol engineers, economists, game-theorists and communicators at top of their respective bitcoin-games are learning. #bitcoin is not fully appreciated IMO. we are digging rabbit hole deeper. everyone has things to learn.

Some cypherpunk took 20 years of cryptography innovations and ducttaped them together and released it on the cypherpunks mailing list for other people to review and patch up the holes

IMO you can’t use existing theories of money to fully describe and understand Bitcoin. They are at best only partially helpful. We have to rip the goggles off entirely, because we’ll be forced to invent new ways of thinking to interpet what will happen in the coming decades.

Don't understand why Bitcoin is important? You're clinging to a world that no longer exists. Update your worldview and Bitcoin becomes obvious.
