How did you get a picture of me on here?

Wish I could get my normie liberal friends who go to protests to understand this.

This is 🔥

Both. The mental shift occurs gradually in everyone, but it will happen to everyone given enough time. I think the Satoshi will be the unit of account for a time, before it too becomes too valuable to be used in that way practically. I think one day Bitcoin will evolve increased divisibility, perhaps the halving will be modified to be endlessly occurring and alongside each new halving a decimal will be added to increase division. Every halving causes the cost of Bitcoin to double in terms of time, given this it's only a matter of time until the increased value from each halving adds up and makes increased division necessary. The Bitcoin network of today may one day look antiquated to Bitcoiners of the future, in the same way the Turing Bombe computer looks antiquated to us today. It will change in ways we can't predict, it will evolve organically into new forms and perhaps it will experience hard forks that spawn children that are not shitcoins but instead symbolize different generations of Bitcoin that if successful will be able to coexist. I don't know what will happen for certain, but I know Bitcoin is still a baby that has yet to mature. When fully mature everything will be different, the world will look alien, and Bitcoin will become humanities economic foundation for centuries if not millennia.

Guess I just felt like posting more than I have the last few years (average of less than 1 post a year the last few years). But the post being censored quickly reminded me what Facebook is, I'm back to not using it again 😂.

Shared this video on Facebook only to have the post not even show up on my timeline when I went to look at it. Being censored for posting this felt so surreal. Here's the clip: https://youtu.be/tN-aTVkI5W0

Don't worry so much.

I'm done with them. They don't own me.

Fascinating how Brian still doesn't get it after all these years. Go ahead and stack fiat treasuries by focusing on fiat stablecoins. Sigh.

It's a very vulnerable thing to post not only when we're doing well but when we're not. 🫂 Things will get better.
