Just bought coffee from @The Bitcoin Coffee Guy⚡️☕️ using lightning. First time buying something with lightning. Badass experience. Like @Marty Bent says, I just bought more sats immediately. YEWWW

On the impeccable scientific advice of @Marty Bent I’m moving my bitaxe to my work desk so I can observe it all day. Got to increase those quantum probabilities of finding a block. I didn’t know RHR was a quantum physics show too.

The Great Liquid Reserve Swap has been under way for more than a decade.
Hard assets are replacing treasuries as liquid reserves. It's probably advantageous to hold the former and stay away from the latter.

Don’t get mad at the pace of bitcoin adoption. View it as a blessing.
Adoption is moving along at an incredible pace and you will wish you had stacked more sats when adoption accelerates.

I was listening to @RABBIT HOLE RECAP last night and was excited to hear the start of the show talking about Bitcoin gaming. There are parts I fully agreed with and parts that I'd love to debate. The full show isn't about gaming but here's a clip on the conversation around this post:
https://fountain.fm/clip/uLScC0fjdv78OXLZyiE3 (Timestamp 3:03 to 4:30 of The Coinbase Rugs Continue in case my Fountain clip won't load for you.)
@ODELL mentions early on that Fortnite with sats has always been a dream of his and I couldn't agree more. I think gaming has the potential to make Bitcoin way more mainstream while offering gaming experiences that just can't happen in a fiat world. When done right I even think it's enough to make @Marty Bent find the time to game! 🤣
Matt goes on to say that Epic Games will never do it because

How Humans Outcompeted Neanderthals: It Wasn't Intelligence... - Jesse Myers
"We're all trying to understand why is #bitcoin so alluring to us... this is finally what we've been searching for, for the entire length of our species."

If Jesse’s hypothesis is correct - humans have a specific gene that makes us covet scarce assets and enabled us to outcompete Neanderthals - bitcoin adoption is literally baked into our DNA.

99% of doctors are employees
77% employed by hospitals (my note, increasingly behemouth monopolies nationwide)
20% by employed by insurance companies or private equity firms
2% employes by government
That leaves 1% independent and "3rd party free" (not contracted w insurance co hospitals or government)

My ode to @RABBIT HOLE RECAP @Marty Bent @ODELL @Al’s Lacrosse from last week. Saved here for posterity, hope you all enjoy, I wasted an hour on this!
Marty Bent, the palindrome freak,
Block height 888888, Bitcoin’s latest peak.
Marty Jones, our tinfoil thoughts align,
But why do mirrored digits blow your mind?
Thought I’d celebrate with a boost and ask a simple question
Is this even free country? Surely the clown world is descending?
And wen sausage ODELL? No word back,
Ten31 tribe, proud part of the pack.
I think we’re going to win just like #FreeRoss
We got a good thing going like Al’s Lacrosse
Resident TSLA shill never bothered me.
But you can also call me a freak, dirtbag, pleb, or just FT₿

Tap-to-pay with CashuBTC ecash — for bitcoin.
Fiat credit cards nailed the UX: fast, offline, works anywhere.
I always wanted that for Bitcoin.
Now it’s open-source. Private. Instant. Beep, done.
In the video: two Cashu wallets for bitcoin.
Left: @Minibits (PoS)
Right: cashu.me (payer)
Ecash is sent directly via NFC — no internet, no delay. Beep, boop.
Ecash is a bearer token — the money lives on your device, not on a server. That’s why it pairs so well with NFC. Pick an amount, tap to send. No talking to servers. No syncing. Just push it over. The payment is pretty much instant. A PoS can accept ecash from any mint and receive payments via Lightning.
Still early days, but we’re experimenting. Card-to-phone works, but phone-to-phone? That’s the real killer use case.

As someone who would like to see the federal government in the US shrunk dramatically, I believe a strategic bitcoin reserve accumulated via a mechanism like Bit Bonds is the only viable path to make a smaller government possible.
This may seem counterintuitive - "if the US government acquires bitcoin it makes them stronger." However, when you take a step back and think of the problem of the ever expanding federal government you realize that a large part of the problem is driven by the need to roll over debt by issuing new debt to pay it back.
This leads to a forced expansion of the federal government that can only be reversed if something new is introduced that can defease the debt without having to issue new paper. As it stands today, bitcoin is the only thing that can practically produce this defeasment.

Bringing this truck to the US may be a necessary move by the Trump admin as it re-shores manufacturing and tries to build back the middle class.
Business owners being able to buy a $10k truck instead of one for $120k would be massive for businesses.
He could slap a 25% tariff on it and it would still be incredibly beneficial to the US economy.

Stop setting expectations that bitcoin is going to rise when people find out the gold isn't in Fort Knox. I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump admin makes sure it's filled before going in there to signal economic strength as the world is scrambling for physical gold.
Banking on an empty vault for a bitcoin price pump is setting the market up for disappointment.
The correct framing is: we shouldn't have to wonder whether or not the gold is in Fort Knox, we should be able to publicly audit the country's reserves 24/7/365 and bitcoin enables that. It is very hard to do that with gold, as the last five decades have proven.

If you want to get away from the high-velocity trash economy and toward an economy built by and working for the American people you need to fix the money.
People need to be able to work blue collar jobs and store the fruits of their labor in a money that cannot be debased by central planners.
Central planners should not have the ability to issue debt, print money ex-nihilo and through it at unproductive endeavors without opportunity cost or accountability.
Those closest to the central planners shouldn't be able to benefit unduly compared to the Common Man. The central planners should not be the ones planning.
Immigration policy and DOGE don't fix this. Bitcoin does.

Hilarious that Vinny’s idea is for the government to spin up a mining pool to build the bitcoin reserve considering mining pools are notoriously terrible businesses with razor-thin margins.
The path of least resistance is to print and buy bitcoin. There are a number of things that aren’t an overt speculative attack they could do before they resort to that though; bitcoin backed treasuries where the buyer participates in upside bitcoin appreciation, converting revenues from federal services into bitcoin, and a litany of straight forward low hanging fruit.
Taxing bitcoin purchases and sales is egregious theft and a state run mining pool would be poetic because it’s what you would expect from a government known to waste resources while producing sub-par services.

There’s only two conclusions you can make from this narrative framing:
- Kamala Harris is economically illiterate
- Kamala Harris is trying to scapegoat productive businesses for a problem her policies created
Both conclusions should disqualify her from being President.
