The left curve bitcoiner portfolio (stack sats because number go up) will likely outperform the mid curve TradFi portfolio (60/40 diversified). However, I don't trust the opinions of the left curve bitcoiners on protocol design, decentralization risks, or cryptography.

And we're back to par. So, are you buying the next dip?
You sold the STRC dip. I bought it. We are not the same.

While the world is getting ready for power grid failures, cyberattacks, and WW3, I'm over here baking low-time-preference bread. I recently got into baking sourdough, and I'm totally obsessed. I've never really been into bread, and I know this is far, far from the carnivore Bitcoiner mentality, but let me tell you, baking sourdough is almost a spiritual experience for me. Each loaf takes at least 24 hours. I can't even begin to tell you how much joy this process brings me. It's my therapy, my meditation. This one is a croissant sourdough loaf, made with simple ingredients: my starter (her name is Birdie, and she's just flour and water), organic unbleached flour, water, salt, and grass-fed butter. This loaf was so flaky, buttery, and absolutely delicious. And here's the truth: you'd think I'd be 200 lbs by now with the amount of bread I've been eating since I started baking. But nope! Somehow, I've actually lost weight. That's the power of good, low-time-preference bread. 🍞🧡

Made Bitcoin 100x harder to crack for a quantum attacker. Stupid simple: force it to solve 100 keys instead of one within 10 min block time. No fork, no new opcodes, no direct-to-miner relay. Multisig was designed to distribute trust, we reuse it to multiply the computational work required to forge a Bitcoin spend. Runs on Bitcoin Core today. 1/

Steak ’n Shake employees are depositing their dollar paychecks and bitcoin bonuses into Fold. They split their paycheck between dollars and bitcoin, earn bitcoin rewards on every card purchase, and round up change into bitcoin. Most have never heard of Bitcoin Twitter or the word “bitcoiner” yet they stack mog most of us here. Bitcoin is reaching way beyond the timeline. We’re winning. partners.wsj.com/the-nakamot…

If you think people who own bitcoin have strong opinions on it, you should meet the people who don't own any.

$MSTR shareholders have approved the Daily Dividends amendment. Preliminary results show 99.3% of votes cast were in favor. The amendment enables $STRF, $STRC, $STRK and $STRD to accrue dividends every calendar day. Thank you to all who voted. strategy.com/press/strategy-…

I found a SIM implant in my friend's @Ledger Flex. He set it up but never used it, so no funds were lost. He bought it from @cryptobilis at their May 22 2026 Global Pizza Party, Raintree Club Kuala Lumpur. nRF9151 LTE module, eSIM module, v1.1 UFL antenna cc @MagicalTux
Can anyone who bought Ledgers from @cryptobilis confirm (either by replying here or DMing) that their wallets got drained, disassembled their devices and found a SIM implant in it? It seems like the only victims affected are those who bought from shady Lazada merchants, not CB

Franklin Templeton just found a way to get bitcoin to people who'd never in their wildest dream would buy it. Two ETFs registered on Nasdaq this week offering 95% big US stonks + 5% bitcoin. Every dividend the stocks pay buys more BTC. Boomers were always going to own bitcoin through an ETF without touching it. Now they don't even have to actively press buy because reinvesting dividends is a habit they've trusted their whole lives. That's how you sell anything new: Offer it with something people already like and let it ride. Honestly genius.

‼️ BREAKING: The private keys of 8 certificates from Indian certificate authority eMudhra were compromised, Mozilla says. Firefox blocked them within 3 hours. Each key should be a 116-digit number, but one was just 4. Anyone can guess them and forge HTTPS certs for any website.

Peg operations are resuming for @Liquid_BTC. The external security audit is complete and looks good. Additional hardening measures are also done. Liquid users are now able to peg-out via @side_swap and @AquaBitcoin. The ~600 BTC shortfall will be added to the Federation wallet in the coming days. Everything is almost back to normal! 🙏🏻🌊
Liquid Network Restoration Update With key technical milestones completed and network operations stable, user swap functionality is now restored with semi-automated swaps for Federation members. Normal peg and balance validation will be reinstated soon. The Liquid Network’s members appreciate the broader Bitcoin community’s support and advocacy as we work to not only provide the restoration, but also harden the network’s security structure. blog.liquid.net/liquid-netwo…

They want to "seize the means of production" but they don't want to build means of production. Be someone who builds, not someone who seizes or destroys what others built.

The idea that paying off a fixed long term non-callable low interest loan gives you "peace of mind" is nonsense. You should never have peace of mind from making bad decisions. A mortgage can be paid off but you still have to pay maintenance and taxes forever (and these rise, unlike a fixed mortgage payment). You don't have to be very bullish to expect bitcoin to exceed the interest rate on your mortgage.
