Still can’t believe Coinbase did a stock buyback rather than buy Bitcoin. Seriously wondering what the thought process was @brian_armstrong
MSTR flipped Coinbase market cap on ~1/10th of the revenue because it plows every dollar it can into BTC.
WAKE UP. BITCOIN. LASER FOCUS.

If I were the CIA trying to take down bitcoin, I would spin up a few Twitter accounts posing as maxi plebs with laser eyes and try to rally plebs to cancel and denigrate as many positive forces for bitcoin adoption as possible.
Pretty simple concept tbh.

READ THIS AND THEN READ IT AGAIN.
THEN TAKE A BREATH, AND THEN READ IT AGAIN.
BITCOIN DECIDED THE ELECTION.
Current crypto owners ultimately voted for Trump over Harris by a margin of 55-42. Non-crypto owners were tied.
This was the margin of difference in the popular vote. Crypto mattered at the ballot box, as we have been saying for years.

🚨 Sappy post alert 🚨
I thought the theme of this year’s conference would be the 2024 election. We went into the year thinking “this is a no-brainer. We gotta get the presidential candidates to come talk about bitcoin”
Even most of the way through the conference, I was sure that would be the takeaway; “Bitcoin is on the ballot”.
But upon reflection, I’m realizing the message is much bigger than that:
An idea whose time has come cannot be stopped by any army. Bitcoin is such an idea, but what causes its time to come?
Answer: it’s the people. It’s the people who understand fundamentally that bitcoin is a good idea, and who choose to relentlessly pursue it to the end.
We’ve been dismissed, laughed at, and fought against. Our champions have been smeared, our companies have been attacked, and our beliefs have been challenged.
And yet here we stand on the precipice of Bitcoin becoming, not only embedded into the global financial system, but ingrained into the ideals of the democratic process and the foundations of national legitimacy.
Some would stand on the sidelines and yawn “this was inevitable”. But they don’t see the relentless passion, pursuit, and luck from the people who made this happen.
Bitcoin is a good idea, but it’s the people who breathe life into the idea. It’s the people who have made this time come.
Welcome to the age of Bitcoin. And cheers to the heroes who were crazy enough to believe in and to pursue a good idea. 🍻

The reason why POS is more palatable for the legacy system folks is that it isn’t a new paradigm.
It’s just those with the most wealth getting to set consensus and enrich themselves by the system.
It just feels more familiar and comfortable, doesn’t it?

NYT/WSJ literally aided in cutting off peace negotiations, which is Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah’s entire goal.

The far left is learning that Palestinians and Islamic fundamentalist recruit folks to their cause via Marxist inspired propaganda, and it feels familiar to them. They are especially vulnerable to it.
The far right sees that the “oppressor” category in their Marxist propaganda is “The Jews who control everything” and they throw out a “hell yeah brother”
