1984 by George Orwell

Australians are property ponzi obsessed. It’s borderline insanity. Last time I was in Australia, random people started shouting home prices at me. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s a sickness that will come at great cost to the Australian economy when real estate is demonetized by Bitcoin.

Australia will remain a poor and ignorant far away land.

Project completion rate vs previous abandonment rate. But mostly time to implement a task vs before.

I used to spent my days writing unit tests. Integration tests. Functional tests. Now I synth the unit tests and adjust I/O to define desired implementation. It’s very effective.

I will say it’s a subjective measure that’s not really general or transferable. Most folks will have marginal gains. I “feel” about 10x more effective, but I’m sure others would disagree.

“Becoming”?

The reality is that eventually MSTR will need to settle some of its debt, and make monthly and quarterly dividends on its prefs. It’s ok, their charter does allow sales. The main idea is accretion, and eventually folks are going to trade on second derivatives of that fluctuation too (eg: “BTC yield” yield).

I suspect it will come not as a failure on MSTR but a failure on a bank - a bank will require more prime collateral (BTC) and to “save the banking system” will have to convert a huge amount of its own debt capital notes (to other banks but mostly jd) to Bitcoin. Saylor will be a considered a savior of an old tradfi player.

There is many more letters available for novel financial tickers. Fiat debt is infinite. Bitcoin is 2.1q

Luke considers rust “woke”? Uhhhh

Yes I think this is key. I still earn $US for day job, but this looks less attractive month by month. Eventually I will only get out of bed for Bitcoin. It is inevitable.

I am operating at about 8.6x since May 2025.

It’s real, but I was already very productive to begin with, and reasonably knowledgeable.

This is absolutely the case, and should inform future cypherpunks of the correct course of action. If Satoshi did not disappear, they would have faced the SDNY eventually.

We need more anon cypherpunks that disappear once the dominos are in motion — in this crazy personality driven society the only freedom is anonymity.

Hahaha no, the BIS is throwing shade on their existential threat. They claim 3x impact on exiting vs entering the stable markets. I say the crooked private ledger days are coming to a close, and the market demands radical transparency!

If you attempt to fight math, the math will always beat you.

2025 is the year we lost the anonymous internet in the west. Cannibalized by the “Post Covid Karenesque”, who foolishly call upon the 4 horsemen of the infopocalypse to control the masses.

Resist censorship through routing through friendlier exits. The internet was invented for this very reason.

Number of devs and number of nodes are bad metrics, they shows very little useful info, and hides risk. Obviously node count it trivially inflatable in cloud.

Consider the competence of the devs.

Knots, the bcash of 2025. Enjoy the forks and fireworks.

Run core (Bitcoin and Lightning), be happy.

Sure, cypherpunks have been trying to do this forever. It’s an idea I’ve wanted to build all my life pre-Bitcoin.

When Satoshi mixed together an adjustable p2p-scaling POW with public key cryptography — we finally got it! The building blocks were there, it just took some inspiration to mix it together.

Can never be secure. Get a hardware wallet.

It will settle on 29th July 2025, available in your brokerage account.

I really can't wait until Bitcoin demonetizes real estate. Housing is a simple thing, and with automation we will built it at scale, forever. Housing for 0.01 BTC is not absurd this decade. Its just not rare enough relative to sats.

The malaise in the west is due to the flagging economy, as result of debasement for years, to pay for failure, wars and debt.

Bring on the sound money, its here, but some don't understand yet.

L0laL33tz rocks, a good bounty earned for valuable data

Oh no. Not only is it barely a claim on a treasury position, it can be frozen or confiscated unilaterally by the stablecoin issuer. It’s not self custody of anything!

I would recommend setting up a BTCPay server and handling Bitcoin and Lightning payments yourself, rather than someone else’s payment platform.

There are providers that can host this if you don’t want to run the server software yourself. Given this use case it’s always going to be best to run it all yourself, however.
