In 2021, #Bitcoin will be 12.5 years old and has risen from $0.0025 to over $9000. In 2021, Fiat (eg. GBP, USD) will celebrate 50 years of replacing gold as the world's dominant money—only 4X longer than the age of BTC!—and has devalued 95% due to inflation. Do the math.

#Bitcoin is now over 100x more valuable than #BitcoinCash. I.e. Bitcoin Cash has lost 99% of it's value against Bitcoin since it forked away and is no longer in the top 10 cryptos — and this is by far the best performing fork of Bitcoin.

A major upgrade to #Bitcoin took a significant step towards going live today. The new Schnorr/Taproot consensus functionalities will add increased smart contract functionality and improved privacy, making Bitcoin an even better digital store-of-value.
BREAKING: The implementation of the Schnorr/Taproot consensus rules has been merged into #Bitcoin Core. The upgrade's activation method has yet to be determined. @ecurrencyhodler reports.

Only #Bitcoin has bandwidth reserved on orbiting satellites dedicated to supporting its use as a global money. The same can not be said for any other crypto or fiat currency. Another reminder that every day, #Bitcoin just gets more dominant, more entrenched, and more robust.
We're excited to announce #BlockstreamSatellite 2.0. This major update includes a new transmission protocol, more bandwidth, a larger coverage area, & the much requested ability to sync a #Bitcoin node from the genesis block up to the latest block. 📡🛰️

We've been brainwashed from birth by fiat monetary education to believe:. Usury = safe.Inflation = inevitable.Bank-custody = ideal. #Bitcoin gives us a profound and common sense alternative where:. Usury = risky.Inflation = impossible.Self-custody = ideal. Make the right choice.

@VitalikButerin @maxkeiser Really?. Certainty, slow and careful change, consistency, and track record—this is what sets #Bitcoin apart from every other cryptocurrency. This is in stark contrast to Ethereum and all other protocols. For clarity on where you appear to not get this, follow the blue arrow:

One day soon, we’ll see nations and central banks investing in #Bitcoin and the Bitcoin network: to protect what is destined to be the first truly independent world reserve asset.
OPINION: Instead of Mutually Assured Destruction, the biggest deterrent to a hostile economic takeover will be Mutually Assured Consumption: not an arms race, but a deadlocked competition to mine more Orange Gold than the enemy. via @obi.

DeFi is. DeFinitely fractional reserve banking. DeFinitely not a new financial revolution. DeFinitely repeating the same mistakes. DeFinitely will fail. Solution: Stack sats on #Bitcoin.

Bitcoin exchange's like @Coinfloor were clearly the first to store their cash reserves in #Bitcoin. Non-Bitcoin companies are increasingly doing the same thing which just shows that it will be enterprise, not nation states, that will lead the way in terms of monetary innovation.
Another satisfied customer of The Bitcoin Standard decides to upgrade their company's cash reserves to join the twenty first century!

#Bitcoin, its payments, buying, custody, and education must be "3D":. - Decentralised.- Dematerialised.- Deidentified. When Bitcoin is 3D, a billion people can and will learn, buy, secure, hold, use, and educate about Bitcoin, sats, and monetary freedom in months not years.

Many #Ethereum supporters don't know this ETH pre-history and are unaware of various details of how Ethereum is operated. This is understandable. But many ETH advocates know about this, the subsequent u-turns, and inconsistencies and remain fans. This is harder to understand.
@factcheckmypost @WhyFlight @obi @maxkeiser @VitalikButerin @DanLarimer can confirm I witnessed this pre-eth vitalik "quantum-computer simulatation mining" scam 1st hand at a small 2013 conference in amsterdam. I debunked the comp sci illogicality and impossibility of the claim. did succeed in talking some investors out of parting with their bitcoin.

The best #Bitcoin wallet UX is the one that stops you getting hacked. (eg. @COLDCARDwallet, @CasaHODL.@unchainedcap, @SparrowWallet). Don't trade security for simplicity.
🔒 If you have enabled iCloud backup for app data, this will include your password-encrypted MetaMask vault. If your password isn’t strong enough, and someone phishes your iCloud credentials, this can mean stolen funds. (Read on 👇) 1/3.

I'd love to see the creation of price-locked bitcoin (ple₿s). Not stablecoins, users lock up a given USD (or other) price worth of BTC and get back the same price worth of BTC some time later (within limits). eg. $21 ple₿s in -> $21 ple₿s out. So #Bitcoin start to finish.
