Now all in on
#Bitcoin
. Learning, building & sharing my thoughts and guides on Bitcoin mining, Lightning Payments, Nostr, Energy infrastructure, Automation & Opensource solutions.
The worst part about the
#Bitcoin
ETF is going to be all the wall street finance bros who have less than 10 hours learning about Bitcoin giving advice about it.
My biggest proof of work in 2023 was quitting alcohol.
Today marks day 366 of no drinking.
You can do it too. Start today. Make 2024 your year.
Happy new year everyone! 🎉
Why you may want to run a full
#Bitcoin
node. 👇
1) You want to support the
#Bitcoin
network.
2) You don't want to rely on a 3rd party to validate your transactions.
3) You don't want to disclose transactions in your wallet to 3rd parties.
4) You're interested in strong

Bank of Canada said interest rates will stay low forever.
Realtors said real estate always goes up.
Mortgage brokers said sure you can have more money.
All the so-called financial advisors advised to buy real estate and now we have families getting foreclosed on for reasons
The Bank of Canada has printed more money as a percentage of GDP than the Fed has in the last 3 yrs.
Why more Canadians are not concerned about this blows my mind.
In 1995 I was talking about the internet with anyone that would listen.
Websites, URLs, FTP, POP, SMTP, SSL.
Today I'm doing the same for
#Bitcoin
, the lightning network and all the layers to come in the future.
Forever bullish 🚀

Based on the organization description and what has gone on over the past 20 years I would say the
#IMF
has failed miserably.
All member countries are in debt beyond anything seen before and everybody has printed more fiat currency in the last 2 years than in the last 50.
In just under a month we grew the
#Manitoba
bitcoin group to 29 people and our first meet up which is on Tuesday has 15+ people coming.
Looking forward to meeting all of you.
Satoshi's first implementation was simply known as "Bitcoin" or "Satoshi client". That has evolved into what is known today as Bitcoin Core.
Here is
#Bitcoin
Core architecture.
I really wonder what's going to happen with the
#BitcoinETF
investors when
#Bitcoin
pumps and then retracts 80% again in 2027-28.
They have no idea what the bear market is like. Will be even more interesting to see how Wall Street will spin it.

This is the
#Bitcoin
Genesis block.
Genesis Block is the name of the first block of Bitcoin ever mined in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto.
The Genesis Block forms the foundation of the Bitcoin trading system and is the prototype of all other blocks in the Bitcoin blockchain.
What is purpose of
#Bitcoin
mining?
The purpose of mining is not the creation of new bitcoin as most people assume.
Mining is what makes Bitcoins security decentralized and not centrally controlled.
The job of the miner is to validate new transactions and record them on the

Let's hope prices come down way more so that future generations don't have this same mess.
Let's teach the young to invest in productivity and innovation, not particle board.

Not worth more, cost more.
Engineering degree for Boomer: <$1800 in 70's
Engineering degree for millennial: >$50,000
Other costs the same.
Boomer Rent, a few hundred dollars
Rent today, thousands monthly mostly paid to Boomer investors...
@brucefenton
And those $16,000 per student courses are probably some of the worst online courses I've ever witnessed.
I know 19-year-old course creators that have built better classes than some teachers that have 30 years experience teaching in class.
The gap in tech experience is massive.
@PeterSchiff
You got a long way to go Peter.
If you're lucky,
#gold
may touch $3K but it will never ever, ever come close to where

is now and where it's going in the next 5 years.
@SteveSaretsky
This is about replacing the 5.4 million boomers that will die in the next 10 to 15 years.
Instead of incentivizing and supporting young Canadians with affordable housing so they can have families, they are just supporting industry that is crying for consumers and low cost
Bitcoin Manitoba meetup
#1
was a great success tonight.
We had 21 people show up and talk
#Bitcoin
for two and a half hours.
Big thanks to everyone that came out.
We're throwing a halving party for the next meetup in April.
Follow

16+ years of nothing from you. Stop. Just stop. You are so out of touch. This all happened under your watch. Unbelievable. How can you even write these tweets and think you are on the right side of history?
@Tablesalt13
Totally fair. Return to work is driven by shareholders like BlackRock and Vanguard who also own the real estate these workers are required to occupy.
This was never about getting the work done.
@SenWarren
This is exactly why
#Bitcoin
was created. To stop politicians like you from manipulating the money.
Fiat is politically controlled money.
We need to separate money from state.
The

#LightningNetwork
⚡has a throughput of more than 40 million TPS, the equivalent of 14.4 TB size blocks.
This is more than 1000x the capacity of
#VISA
, which can only handle upwards of 150 million TPS a day or a maximum of 24,000 TPS at once.
@daniel_foch
It's not shocking when you take into account the government takes over 43% of our income for taxes and then what's left over is taxed with GST and provincial sales tax.
@DeItaone
This is the typical WallStreet playbook...
Depress the price in the media during a bear market.
Push it down as far as you can.
Buy a whole bunch without anybody looking.
Change your media narrative to a buy as the next bull cycle begins.
Master media manipulators.
@PeterSchiff
I will never sell and I will use it as leverage to borrow for any future cash flow needs. I'll earn interest as well. As the price grows so does my borrowing power.
You need to get off Twitter and start to read what this actually provides otherwise you're just full of it dude.
@JonFlynnREstats
Flood the market with inventory and let's get some price discovery happening. If Canada's going to survive we have to fix the over inflated real estate prices.

A $2,000 investment on Jan 1 in gold would have made you $180 today.
