You can be the wealthiest sovereign wealth fund on earth but if you don’t hold Bitcoin and only hold fiat you don’t have sound money, you have a melting ice cube.

Cypherpunk Manifesto - Grant Morrison on Punks

The word “punk” is part of “cypherpunk.” While the “cypher” part is clear—focused on encryption and privacy—what does “punk” mean? The best description I know is by Grant Morrison in Supergods.

Grant Morrison on Punk:
•DIY Ethic: Creating something from nothing, valuing raw creativity.
•Anti-Establishment: Rejecting mainstream norms and corporate (I’d say corporatist) control.
•Individualism: Authentic self-expression, cautioning against the commercialization of individuality.

Cypherpunk Manifesto by Eric Hughes:
•Privacy as a Right: Using cryptography to ensure personal autonomy.
•Decentralization: Resisting centralized control.
•DIY Problem-Solving: Creating and using tools independently to protect freedom.

The punk in cypherpunk:
•Both movements challenge and subvert established systems, promoting individualism and genuine autonomy and individual action. They emphasize practical action, encouraging people to directly shape their realities.

Embracing the cypherpunk ethos means carrying forward the spirit of change and rebellion of the public movement and the cypherpunk movement. This includes supporting the ideals of privacy, decentralization, voluntary choice and the individual.

We need more punks.

Tik Toc

Another Bitcoin block

Every 10 minutes or so.

Oblivious to the world, the news, politics or war.

Just code. Tik Tik tiking away. Governed by math and a strong distributed system. Incentivized by issuing Bitcoin in exchange for provably burned energy by miners — in exchange the miners verify what is true.

Bitcoin is certainty in an uncertain world.

A far fetched idea that is some how better than anything else anyone has come up with - certainly better than fiat printed from thin air.

Reliable money not ruled by humans

Logic and predictable and sound

If Bitcoin was global money there would be far less war because the tyrants and war mongers would have no way to pay for it other than by getting people to contribute.

昨日のNPC抗議で、カメラに収める良いものをいくつか逃してしまいました:

最も良かったのは、トランプの写真が載った反ビットコインのサインがあったことです — 彼らと話そうとしましたが、もちろん何も進展しませんでした。彼らはビットコインは何も裏付けのない詐欺だと言っていました。

サインを説明できなかった人々の中で、私は特にこの人が話してくれればよかったと思いました。彼らが関与しなかったことが残念でしたが、良い点は、アメリカで最も愚かで卑劣な人々の中には、彼らの人生で最高のパフォーマンスを発揮した資産を逃した人たちがいるということです。

Hfsp共産主義者。

イラクとアフガニスタンで間違った人々は、イランと戦争をすべきだと思っています。

ビットコインに関して間違った人々は、連邦準備制度がお金を印刷するのは良いアイデアだと思っています。

コビッド政策で間違った人々は、RFK Jr.が悪役だと思っています。

たまには正しかった人々の意見に耳を傾けてみませんか？

The Bitcoin code never heard of Elon Musk or Donald Trump. The code never heard of the United States, it doesn’t know what a country is. The Bitcoin code does not know what a dollar is or a Euro or of the concept of currency. Bitcoin doesn’t know the news. Bitcoin is not aware of its price performance. It’s just code.

Just a block every 10 minutes on a schedule that was designed a over decade and a half ago. No humans or opinions who matter.

Certainty in an uncertain world.

Great to see Ross Ulbricht free & enjoying life.

It was an emotional moment to see him and his wonderful mom Lyn who I’ve known for years. Lyn tirelessly attended Bitcoin & liberty events spreading the word on Ross’s case.

They will both be at Porcfest in NH this year!

ロス・アルブリクトが自由で人生を楽しんでいるのを見るのは素晴らしい。

彼と彼の素晴らしい母親リンに会えて感動的な瞬間でした。リンは、ロスのケースについての情報を広めるために、ビットコインおよび自由のイベントに tirelessly 参加してきました。

彼らは今年、NHのポークフェストに参加します！

I’m sorry I didn’t try harder to sell you on it earlier. It’s better money. The world is changing. It’s not too late. Dump the melting ice cube of phony fiat money and buy Bitcoin.

It’s a really crazy idea. But it’s all we’ve got. It’s not as crazy as people sitting in fancy offices paid for with money they stole from you and deciding “money” is something they can print from thin air to fund cronies and war. That’s not money. That’s trash.

Bitcoin is governed not by the whims of politicians but by the laws of math and code. The world is figuring this out. There are only so many Bitcoin to go around. A limited supply asset. In a world of unlimited printed money.

What do you think is going to happen? You need exposure to this asset imho.

速報：ニューハンプシャー州の男性が昨夜、スロットの観光客に近づき、みんなにお金を無駄にしていると言い、代わりにサットを積むべきだと伝えたため、ストリップのすべてのカジノから追い出されました。
「法定通貨は溶ける氷の塊だ。目を覚ませ、羊たちよ！」と叫んでいるのが聞こえました。

I was thinking that I’ve never seen my BlockClock with these numbers we see today.

Then I realized, no one has.

New Hampshire is one of the greatest places on earth.
Great standard of living.
Peaceful.
Beautiful.
Family friendly.
Four seasons.
Nice people.
No state income tax.
No sales tax.
Low government intervention.
Firearms rights.
Free staters.
Bitcoin.

Number go up tech is wonderful.

A stable, boring and secure limited supply digital decoration that goes up in value that you can peal off from to convert to fiat for lambos is nice. I’m happy. I love it. It’s changed my life for the better.

But I got in to Bitcoin not for this but to change the world. To replace the evil fiat system and all it’s related destruction. I got in to this for a new form of money, for peer to peer cash free from the constraints and controls of centralized powers. I came for cypherpunk values where code and privacy rule over the whims of humans. I got in to this for a money system that can’t be printed from thin air by politicians and given to cronies for war, graft and violence.

If we don’t use Bitcoin as money and it doesn’t replace the broken fiat system but is simply a store of value, held in custody by the same parties who controlled the old system, subject to the same surveillance and seizures, then we would have squandered the greatest opportunity of a generation to break free from the old system and build a new one. In my old age I don’t want to look at a dying dystopian fiat world from my castle window. I want to see a vibrant more peaceful and free world that I helped bring about by using sound money.

Which way are we going?
