This is David Sacks. PayPal mafia member and one of Silicon Valley’s greatest investors (Meta, Uber, Airbnb, SpaceX). Trump just named him White House AI & Crypto Czar. Here are 10 quotes that reveal his stance on bitcoin🧵👇

My apartment returned 408% in 20 years. Bitcoin did 490% in 18 months. Questions?

MicroStrategy owns more bitcoin than will be mined in the entire next halving epoch. MicroStrategy: 444,262 BTC Next halving epoch: 328,125 BTC Let that sink in.

They called bitcoin a bubble, a scam, an index for money laundering. Now they call it an asset class. Here are 7 of the harshest bitcoin critics who completely flipped 🧵👇

Most people will never own 1 bitcoin. Not because they don’t want to—because they won’t get the chance. Here’s the math behind why the window to get off zero is closing fast: 🧵👇

We need to talk. Not about price. Not about hype. About the future. Most Bitcoin doesn’t move on Bitcoin anymore. It trades on paper. In ETFs. In proxy stocks. On platforms that never touch the chain. The financialization is accelerating. Wall Street loves it. No keys, no coins—just exposure. But there’s a problem: Miners secure Bitcoin. They get paid through the block subsidy. Every 4 years, that subsidy gets cut in half. Eventually, the only thing left will be fees. But fees come from usage. From people actually settling on-chain. From mempools that aren’t empty. If the world keeps using Bitcoin through layers that never pay miners, what happens when the subsidy runs dry? Miners starve. Hashrate drops. Security cracks. Censorship creeps in. This isn’t FUD. This is the bill coming due. So if you believe in Bitcoin—really believe— don’t just hold it. Use it. Settle on-chain. Pay the fee. Run the node. Support the thing you say you love. Bitcoin can’t be secured by paper. And it won’t survive on faith alone. The revolution doesn’t happen on Wall Street. It happens here. Don’t let Bitcoin get financialized to death. P.S. I want to do my part. I’ll send 5,000 sats on-chain to 10 people who like, retweet, and follow. Let’s support the network, together. ⚡

The delusions behind a bitcoin strategic reserve. That's the title of the latest bitcoin opinion piece in the FT. Let’s break down their claims and see if they hold up. Spoiler: they don’t. 🧵

This is Katie Hobbs. She just killed Arizona’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill, calling Bitcoin "untested." But blocking financial freedom isn’t new for Katie: - 2023: Vetoed protecting home bitcoin nodes from local taxes, said it was "too broad." Translation: Decentralization terrifies her. - 2023: Rejected a bill banning banks from rating you with social credit scores, called it "overly vague." Translation: Your privacy means nothing to her. - Now: Says bitcoin’s "too risky" for Arizona pensions, but thinks inflating USD is safe. Translation: She trusts broken money over math. Katie doesn’t hate Bitcoin. She just hates losing control.

Heads up, bitcoin holders: The EU will ban anonymous crypto accounts by July 2027. Every transaction above €1,000 will need your ID. Privacy is becoming extinct. 😔

Bitcoin is secured by math, not middlemen. At the heart of it is a special function created by the NSA. If you don’t understand it, you don’t fully understand bitcoin. Today, I'm going to explain it with an analogy that actually makes sense—the nerd in you will love this. 🧵👇

“How many bitcoin do you own?” That’s how it starts, a stupid question from the host. From there, it goes downhill fast. Christine Lagarde repeats every tired anti-bitcoin cliché the ECB has ever pushed. Let's go... 1️⃣ “Bitcoin has no intrinsic value.” Neither does fiat. Intrinsic value is an outdated economic myth, money derives value from scarcity, credibility, and demand for settlement. Bitcoin’s scarcity is mathematically enforced; fiat’s is politically decided. 2️⃣ “It has no anchor of safety.” Bitcoin’s anchor is energy. Every coin represents irreversible work, proof of energy expended to secure the network. Fiat’s anchor is faith in central banks that inflate at will. 3️⃣ “It could collapse.” So can any monetary system. But bitcoin has operated with 99.99% uptime for 15 years, through wars, recessions, bans, and collapses, that you and your friends created! Now go and compare that to banking crises that occur every decade. 4️⃣ “It’s speculative.” Yes! In the same way that every emerging monetary asset is. Gold was speculative in 600 BC. Bonds were speculative in 17th-century Europe. Bitcoin is price discovery in real time. A Feature! 5️⃣ “A digital euro will be safer.” Hmmmm... no! That’s not safety. That’s dependency. A CBDC is not money you own; it’s credit you’re allowed to use, programmable and reversible at will. While bitcoin is ownership; CBDCs are permission. 6️⃣ “Stablecoins are different.” Exactly! They’re IOUs, not assets. They rely on trust in an issuer, exactly what bitcoin removes. Bottom line: Every critique Lagarde makes of bitcoin describes fiat more accurately. Trust math, not mandates.

Norway’s sovereign wealth fund didn’t want to invest in bitcoin, saying it’s “too risky.” Now they have reported a loss on “safe” tech investments. Irony level: $40 billion. 🤷‍♂️

“BITCOIN IS GOING TO ZERO” For 15 years, the “top” economists, bankers, and investors told you that. They were all wrong: Nobel laureates, Wall Street CEOs, Ivy League professors. I hope you didn’t listen. List: - Paul Krugman – Nobel Prize–winning Economist; NYT Columnist - Joseph Stiglitz – Nobel Prize–winning Economist; Columbia University - Nouriel Roubini – Economist; NYU Stern - Jamie Dimon – CEO, JPMorgan Chase - Robert Shiller – Nobel Prize–winning Economist; Yale University - Warren Buffett – CEO, Berkshire Hathaway - Jack Bogle – Founder, Vanguard Group - Kenneth Rogoff – Harvard Economist; ex-IMF Chief Economist - Atulya Sarin – Finance Professor, Santa Clara University - Capital Economics – Macroeconomic Research Firm - James Faucette – Executive Director, Morgan Stanley - Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal – Chairman, Kingdom Holding Company - Jim Rogers – Investor; Co-founder, Quantum Fund - Alan Greenspan – Former Chairman, U.S. Federal Reserve - Agustín Carstens – GM, BIS; ex-Governor, Bank of Mexico - Ardo Hansson – Former Governor, Bank of Estonia; ex-ECB Council - Stephen Poloz – Former Governor, Bank of Canada - Charlie Munger – Vice Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway - Peter Schiff – CEO, Euro Pacific Capital - Sir Jon Cunliffe – Deputy Governor, Bank of England

The next US President will inherit an economic ticking time bomb. On the surface: America's economy looks unstoppable. Below the surface: A financial nightmare that's destroyed every great empire in the last 500 years is brewing. 🧵👇

“Where’s Bitcoin?" One coin is hidden in this image. If you found it, don’t spoil it. Just hit like, this is your proof-of-work.

Over 5 million Bitcoin are gone. Forever. No keys. No recovery. No second chance. - Satoshi’s wallet: 1M BTC, untouched - Mt. Gox hack: 744K BTC, - Lost key & wallets: ~3.7M BTC - James Howells’ hard drive: 8K BTC, buried Do people even grasp Bitcoin’s scarcity?

Just gave Peter Schiff a Braiins Mini Miner. He’s now officially a home Bitcoin miner. 🤣 Gradually, then suddenly…

Alfred Nobel’s will defined three criteria for the Peace Prize: 1. Fraternity between nations 2. Reduction of standing armies 3. Promotion of peace congresses Trump’s record checks all three: – Abraham Accords (normalization between Israel and Arab states) – Ceasefire initiative in Gaza (reduction of hostilities) – Direct peace summits and signings at the White House Whether you like him or not, by Nobel’s own standard, he earned it.

XRP's 'use case' is helping banks move money faster. Bitcoin's use case is removing banks from the equation entirely.

Same excuses, different price.

“I’ll buy back in at $12K”

80% of Bitcoin holders are men. That’s a gap we can’t ignore. Natalie’s bold message shows what’s possible when women join the mission. For Bitcoin to succeed, adoption must include everyone—across gender, class, and culture. Fix the money. Empower everyone.

I just watched the Bill Maher clip about "crypto mining," and as the CEO of a bitcoin mining company, I have some thoughts: 🧵👇

This is Simon Gerovich. Ex-Goldman trader who transformed Metaplanet from a dying hotel chain into Japan’s best-performing stock. Now sprinting to stack 10 000 BTC. Here's why Tokyo traders dub him “Saylor-san”🧵👇

The IMF handed El Salvador $1.4B—but only if they stopped buying Bitcoin. Bukele took the money. Then bought more Bitcoin. The IMF is sharpening its knives, just like they’ve done before. What happens next? 🧵👇

If you think Bitcoin is slow, wait until you try wiring money. Across borders. On a weekend. 🤦‍♂️

Bhutan now likely holds more Bitcoin per capita than any other country on Earth.

Bitcoin wasn’t always orange. - 2009, Satoshi released a gold coin with ‘BC’. - 2010, Satoshi updates it, ₿ on a gold coin. - Nov 2010, Bitboy (Bitcointalk user) introduces the tilted white ₿ on orange. The community loved it!

The EU isn’t banning Bitcoin. It’s doing something worse. Every move designed to strip away privacy, control access, and rewrite financial sovereignty. Here’s how they’re doing it. 🧵👇

Bitcoin is hard money. The Lightning Network makes it fast money. If you don't get it, I got you. Here's the simplest explanation you'll ever read about making bitcoin transactions instant and virtually free 🧵👇

I've finally orange-pilled my wife. She just bougth the dip all by herself. Usually I have to remind her to buy, but not this time. My job here is done.

In 60 days, Bitcoin will hit $180K—don’t say you weren’t warned. Bears want you scared, but Bitcoin doesn’t care. Buy the dip today!

Ever wonder why bitcoiners refuse to sell, even after massive crashes? Bitcoin is a psychological black hole. Once it rewires your mind, selling isn't even an option. Here are the 7 psychological forces that keep you HODLing 🧵👇

Bitcoin conferences shouldn’t feel like Coachella. They should be 3-day bootcamps for all ages: teaching the history of money, showing kids how fiat fails, giving teens the tools to build Lightning apps, and replacing panels with hackathons. That’s the culture we need.

Christine Lagarde says stablecoins “risk the privatization of money.” She’s right. That’s the point.

1. "I'm buying" - @DavidSacks in 2013. Sacks is a bitcoin HODLer. He was buying bitcoin in 2013 when the price was just $130. It's up 76,000% since then.

I have a love-hate relationship with my Braiins Mini Miner. It’s too quiet—no Brrrr, no noise, nothing. How am I supposed to feel like I’m mining Bitcoin without the classic soundtrack?

It took bitcoin 5,809 days to go from $0 to $100,000. How many days will it take to go from $100,000 to $200,000? Drop your predictions in the replies 👇

2. He understands bitcoin’s importance as decentralized money and its role as a hedge against fiat currency debasement.

99% of people don’t realize how hard bitcoin mining is. This analogy will change the way you see it forever (use it to explain it to your friends): 🧵👇

10. David Sacks understands that bitcoin is the invention of digital scarcity. A profound realisation.

Is Bitcoin lazy? No. There’s a reason Bitcoin uses 10-minute blocks. A block takes ~10 seconds to reach most of the world. At 10-minute intervals, the chance of two miners finding a block at the same time is just ~1.7%. If you cut that to 1-minute blocks, it jumps to ~15%. That means: ⇒ Miners waste electricity on blocks that don’t count ⇒ More blocks get discarded as orphans ⇒ Consensus breaks more often—nodes disagree on which chain is real It stops rewarding hash power and starts rewarding better internet. It pushes miners into data centers. Decentralization takes a hit. Shorter intervals also mean 10x more data. Nodes need more bandwidth, faster storage, and more money. NO MORE HOBBYISTS 👎. Security doesn’t improve, you still need 60 small blocks to match the trust of six full ones. Finality barely changes. Risk goes up. Nodes vanish. Miners centralize. Bitcoin runs on a global network. 10 minutes gives the world time to stay in sync. Not perfect, optimal.

3. “Satoshi Nakamoto deserves to be a billionaire.” Sacks appreciates the profundity of Satoshi’s invention.

The USG using taxpayer money to back these shitcoins is insanity. * XRP → Ripple controls supply, can dump anytime. * SOL → Network shuts down, insiders hold most. * ADA → Foundation calls the shots, not users. * ETH → PoS cartel, easy to censor. Who’s pushing this scam?

4. He is producing a feature-length fictional film about Satoshi. “This film will be akin to watching The Social Network without knowing who the Mark Zuckerberg character might actually be," Sacks says.

Prove him wrong.

Bitcoin is pumping so hard even the S9 is profitable again 😂

1/ The article kicks off with an absurd comparison: it equates bitcoin to Andy Warhol paintings. Sure, both are scarce. But bitcoin isn’t art—it’s money. Money is foundational to every economy, and bitcoin is the apex monetary asset. This analogy by the author demonstrates a lack of understanding of what bitcoin is.

6. He sees bitcoin as having the potential to separate money and state.

9. After PayPal, he never thought he'd be interested in payments again. But then bitcoin came along. "Bitcoin is fulfilling PayPal's original vision to create the new world currency."

The rise of the shrimps 🍤 Small holders (<1 BTC) now collectively hold ~1.36M BTC (~6.9% of supply). That’s more than all Bitcoin ETFs combined (~4%), and more than what’s left to mine. Tiny wallets, titan moves.

~1.5M BTC. That’s how much sits in Coinbase Custody: ETFs, institutions, corporations. 9 out of 12 spot ETFs store their Bitcoin there. More than 7% of all BTC. One entity = One decision away from seizure or freeze. If someone else holds your Bitcoin, YOU don’t.

ALWAYS LOCK YOUR DOORS! Someone broke into my house, saw my 400 $XRP... and left 2,000 more.

You don't actually want Bitcoin at $500,000 by the end of 2025. *if your goal is generational wealth

5. Sacks understands bitcoin's utility as a highly portable and unconfiscatable store of value.

Bitcoin will not hit $100K today. How do I know? I built a model using 12 years of price data that analyzed every similar rally in bitcoin’s history. Here’s how I did it and the exact day the model predicts we’ll cross $100K. 👇🧵

Braiins fell victim to Operation Chokepoint 2.0. In early 2023, we opened a company in the US. We did everything by the book and were ready to contribute to the economy like any other industry. But when we went to open a bank account, we hit a wall. Bank #1 rejected us—no reason given. Bank #2? Same story. Bank #3? Yet another unexplained rejection. After 6 rejections, it finally took a warm intro from one of our colleagues (thanks Will!) to a regional Texan bank where we've been able to make progress with the application without getting an outright rejection from the start. The worst part? We felt like we had to hide our involvement in the bitcoin industry for fear of discrimination. All we want is a fair chance to do business. This shouldn’t be happening. It’s time for this discrimination to end. I hope Trump follows through on his promise to end Operation Choke Point 2.0—right after he frees Ross, of course.

We were approached by a nation-state that wanted to test our bitcoin mining software. Here’s a peek behind the scenes: 🧵👇

Why send bitcoin to a black hole? "1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE" permanently destroys BTC. 13.36 BTC gone forever. Less supply, more scarcity, higher value.

There’s Bitcoin. Then there’s whatever the hell is happening in Vegas.

Donald Trump has established a Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. They've confirmed that evaluating the feasibility of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is a top priority. Here's who's in the group—and what they've said about bitcoin 🧵👇

3/ Claim: “Bitcoin would be propped up by the state.” This claim is backward. Bitcoin grew from $0 to an almost $2 trillion asset without state support, but a lot of hostility. It's the state that benefits from bitcoin. Some estimates suggest bitcoin could eventually help reduce America’s debt by $16 trillion. Who’s propping up whom?

My daughter walked into the kitchen a few nights ago. I was sitting at the table, laptop open, twenty tabs going, messages popping up every few seconds. She waited for a moment, then said, “Why do you work so much?” I didn’t even think. I just said, “Because I want to build something that matters. I want to give something to Bitcoin.” And she just nodded, grabbed a snack, and left. It was a small moment. But for some reason, it stayed with me. Later that night, after everything quieted down, I kept replaying it. And I realized something. I’m not doing this just to build something that matters. I’m doing it to build something she will be proud of. Something honest. Something that lasts. And that line I gave her, about giving something to Bitcoin? That wasn’t 100% true either. Because I give to Bitcoin, But Bitcoin gives more to me. It gave me a new way to think. It taught me about resilience. About how money works. About history, hardware, philosophy, economics, energy. It gave me an obsession. And through that obsession, it gave me purpose. It gave me people. The people I build with. The people who understand what it means to care deeply about something invisible but real. That’s why we’re here. Not (just) because of contracts or revenue. But because we want to build something that outlives us. Something we can point to one day and say, “We did that right.” It’s about trust. It’s about people. And it’s about remembering why we started this in the first place. I’m glad I'm here. Let’s enjoy it.

Many claimed Trump could create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve with over 200,000 BTC via Executive Order. But did anyone check how much bitcoin the US government may have legal title to? I did The answer might surprise you 🧵👇

Firstly, I wholeheartedly agree with the woman next to Bill—crypto is a grifter's paradise. Fortunately, bitcoin is not crypto.

I love $XRP. I love $Trump. They remind me every day why I chose bitcoin—not for the money, but for the values it represents. No marketing hype. No political stunts. Just 16 years of decentralized, trustless security. Shitcoins only make bitcoin's value proposition clearer.

China held up as the “best example” for a CBDC. 🤦‍♂️ Well done, Lagarde, perfect model for a digital panopticon.

Christine Lagarde said it again: they’ll do everything they can to push the digital euro. Everything! That’s not how money earns trust, Christine.

2/ Claim: “The bill doesn’t explain how it changes anything for anyone.” Wait...what?! Bitcoin diversifies America’s reserves. A bitcoin strategic reserve will mean the US will own the world’s best-performing asset. When every major economy is drowning in debt, assets like bitcoin and gold are essential as a hedge. The US starting a bitcoin strategic reserve quite literally changes everything for everyone.

The wealth transfer isn’t coming—it’s happening right now. You don’t need 1 BTC. Just get off zero. Because if you wait, you might not get any.

The ECB says the Digital Euro is about “innovation.” Christine Lagarde says it’s to fight “decentralized protocols like Bitcoin.” Few threats they don’t want you thinking about 🧵👇

END Thank you for reading. If you enjoyed this thread: 1. Follow me @elinagar - I'm the CEO of @braiins. 2. Like and retweet so others can learn the urgency of owning bitcoin 🚨👇

4/ Claim: “An asset you can’t sell doesn’t provide resilience—it adds storage costs.” Storage costs? Is that the best the author could come up with? The cost of securing bitcoin is minimal. Particularly when compared to gold. When it comes to resilience, do America’s gold reserves lack resilience because they don’t sell them? Of course not. Selling them has nothing to do with resilience. If anything, bitcoin offers unparalleled resilience in a world increasingly reliant on debt and fiat currency manipulation.

Bitcoin isn’t evenly distributed. * Satoshi alone holds 1.1M BTC * Top holders control 3M+ BTC * Exchanges, institutions, and governments own millions more That leaves less than 6M BTC for 8 billion people, 1 BTC for every 1,333 people. And it’s only getting harder to get.

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink In 2017, he called bitcoin an "index of money laundering" and a "tool for criminals." Fast forward to today, and BlackRock's IBIT is the largest bitcoin spot ETF. Fink recently called bitcoin "an alternative to other commodities like gold."

There will only ever be 21 million bitcoin, but not all of them are for sale. * 19.8M BTC already mined * 3-5M BTC lost forever * 1.2M BTC left to mine over 100+ years That leaves ~16M BTC in circulation. But that’s just the beginning of the squeeze.

Bitcoin preacher extraordinaire Michael Saylor In 2013, Sayor famously tweeted that bitcoin would go the way of online gambling. But by 2020, he turned MicroStrategy into a bitcoin holding company, buying tens of billions of dollars worth. What a difference a decade makes.

I worked at Microsoft for 7 years. They used to accept bitcoin via BitPay from 2014 but they stopped in 2018.

Only one thing can kill bitcoin. Everyone worries about 51% attacks, bans, or quantum threats. None of those are terminal. Only one number is: 0 hashrate. 0 hashes = 0 blocks = 0 bitcoin. Everything else is survivable. Do your part. Get a (mini) miner.

The drive home from the airport felt good. My daughter, 14 years old and independent, was on her way to the UK to visit her sister. Her first solo flight. I was proud of her. Nervous, too, but I knew she could handle it. Then my phone rang. "Dad…" Her voice was shaky. "What’s up?" I asked, casually at first. "I missed the flight." I gripped the wheel tighter. "What do you mean, you missed the flight?" My voice rose—too much. I felt it as soon as the words left my mouth. "I was listening to music," she stammered. "I didn’t hear the boarding call, and… the gate closed." For a moment, I couldn’t respond. I could feel my frustration bubbling up. How could she not pay attention? But then I heard it—her breath catching, her voice trembling. She was scared. Embarrassed. I sighed. "It’s okay," I said, softening. "I’m coming back." When I got to the airport, I went straight to the arrivals hall and waited. She came out slowly, her hoodie up, her headphones hanging around her neck. She spotted me, hesitated, and then her face crumpled. "Dad, I’m so sorry," she said, her voice breaking. "I messed up everything." She stood there, tears welling up, waiting for me to be angry. But instead, I opened my arms and pulled her in. "It’s okay," I whispered. "You’re okay. That’s all that matters." She let out a shaky breath and hugged me back, holding on like she needed that hug more than anything else in the world. When we got home, my wife met us at the door. She didn’t ask questions, didn’t say anything—she just walked straight up to our daughter and hugged her. And my daughter broke down again, but this time it wasn’t guilt. It was relief. We set up the couch for a movie night. My wife made her a hot drink, and we all sat together under the blankets. By the time her favorite scene came on, she was laughing again. At the end of the day, that's what matters, making sure the people you care about know they're loved, no matter what. If you survived until here, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to you and your families 👪

Forget 1 BTC, who will sell you 0.1 BTC in 10 years? A full bitcoin is already out of reach for most. Even 0.01 BTC today puts you ahead of billions.

Saylor: "Trust institutions with your Bitcoin." PlanB: "Good idea!" Give it 12 months. Expect: ✅ Bitcoin-backed loans ✅ “Too big to fail” custody solutions ✅ Saylor Bitcoin Bank™ Bitcoin was built to be an alternative to banks, not their next product. Stay sovereign.

The average person can’t even get a fraction of a bitcoin. * Only 839,839 addresses hold 1 BTC or more. * Over 90% of wallets contain less than 0.1 BTC. Most people don’t own 0.1 BTC today. They will never afford 1.

Final words: The IMF thought El Salvador would obey. They didn’t. Bukele is making a bet no country has dared to make. This is where history is made—or lost.⚡️

9/ Dismissing the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve is a mistake. Doing so would mean the U.S. risks falling behind as other nations quietly accumulate this apex asset. The FT may call it “delusional,” but history will likely prove them wrong. Bitcoin belongs in America’s reserves.

The bitcoin explosion is coming in 2025 Will it hit $200K? $500K? Or more? Here’s what top 7 investors and analysts are predicting for bitcoin—and why these forecasts matter 🧵👇

5/ Claim: “Bitcoin only serves a purpose in broken financial systems.” This argument is categorically wrong. Bitcoin adoption is exploding in countries with functional banking systems, like the U.S. The Bitcoin spot ETF launch broke records for inflows, outperforming even gold ETFs. Bitcoin isn’t just for financial collapse scenarios—it’s the digital gold of the 21st century.

James Ball just wrote another Bitcoin hit piece that feels straight out of 2013. At least he got the price right. Everything else? Not so much. Time to fact-check his tired arguments 🧵👇

Do I need a second opinion?

8/ The FT piece is riddled with misconceptions. It frames Bitcoin’s strategic reserve as a “hodler fantasy.” But here’s the truth: The reserve isn’t about hodlers. It’s about securing America’s future with an asset immune to inflation, political manipulation, and collapse.

Governments hold 512,811 BTC, but two countries stand out. 🇺🇸 U.S. – 198,109 BTC (seized from Silk Road, Bitfinex hacks, and criminal cases) 🇨🇳 China – 190,000 BTC (confiscated from PlusToken and exchange crackdowns) They didn’t mine it. They didn’t buy it. They took it.

Should we include these in the next Braiins merch drop?
