British Open this weekend. Who does everyone got? Fitzpatrick seems to be playing well. McIlroy always shows up. Fleetwood still hasn’t won a full field tournament (on the PGA) but is a great ball-striker. US golfers seem to be out of form coming in to this one…

Remains the obvious explanation for bitcoiners’ sentiment…

this week’s

isn’t loading on Apple Podcasts

A good bitcoin treasury strategy would be to buy low and sell high. Just saying.

I feel like this dip is 100% related to a likely Clarity Act vote and/or SBR announcement in the week(s) ahead.

One last dump so that the banks can load up cheap.

Probably wrong but that’s what it feels like. Just feels completely irrational but I guess bitcoin does what it does.

have you applied your approach for filtering narratives to NOSTR? Anything that the NOSTR community could learn from your insights? What types of posts did bitcoin twitter have 2016-2021 and how do we build that type of engagement into the NOSTR experience?

To the earlier classes, you should be as hopeful and encouraging for the class of 2021 and after in terms of NGU as the early classes were to you (and you were to yourselves). NGU is bitcoin’s primary technological advantage to all other forms of money. If that fails, there is no meaningful value prop for most people. Adoption follows NGU. NGU unlocks a bitcoin mentality across more businesses, political situations, and cultural norms. NGU allows for more technical funding into bitcoin as a protocol and into bitcoin services and integrations. NGU is all that matters. And NGU is fun. We need to refocus on NGU. As an entire bitcoin culture…just focus our energy, our vibes, and our engagement on NGU. All the other solutions flow from their in our own unique skills and interests. The marketplace will diversify bitcoin and its application within economies. Our job is to get NUMBER TO GO UP!

I think the problem with NOSTR is that the influencers came over here and didn’t engage with the broader community. They stayed in their bubble, socialized with the “cool kids,” and lost focus on the message - NGU is how we win.

This resulted in less Twitter engagement (in addition to the algorithm changes), fractured and silo’d communities, and plebs that felt disconnected from the ethos of bitcoin that prior generations of bitcoiners had to hold them together.

Not sure how “we” recover from this but it is clear that we need an effort to restore what was lost. Bitcoin hasn’t been fun for 4+ years. And bitcoin thrives when it is fun.

Just got debanked by Chase.

lol…

We’re not going to get to $58k, are we? This cycle continues to disappoint.

Clarity Act bump: over/under 15%

The problem with these bitcoin treasury companies is that they suck at managing bitcoin treasuries.

Maybe the bitcoin treasury companies should stop taunting short sellers to “short sell them”…hasn’t worked out for them so far.

It's bad out there guys. 4 & 5 year HODL return and risk adjusted returns are absolutely in the toilet. Wall Street is undermining bitcoin's use case as a superior storer of value.

At least all the influencers went the Michael Saylor $100k party. How we feeling about that egofest these days, guys?

I wonder how all the bitcoin / crypto adjacent bros who lobbied the bitcoin community to support Trump feel about his first year nothing burger. A good reminder that politicians will never be our friend.

There aren’t anymore longs to liquidate…

How is bitcoin getting more attention than political and business involvement with Epstein. Super sketch narrative manipulation by the powers that be.

Bitcoin podcasts have surprisingly little bitcoin talk these days.

In hindsight, it will be so obvious. They’re buying time for their banking bros to stack some sats.

They cannot allow a retail bitcoin pump. This is THE moment.

The ultimate feature.

Wall Street is trying to dump before it becomes clear that Trump’s BBB and eventual resolution of the Clarity Act signals it’s safe to invest in bitcoin (and crypto 🙄😖🤮) again. We make it to March 2nd and the 2nd consecutive PMI green candle, then 2026 is going to get a lot more fun. Until, hunker down and avoid the volleys. There is very little long leverage left. Liquidity comes from bad actors and scared retail hodlers.

Somewhere along the way, we - as bitcoiners - forgot to keep saying Game Theory. Feels apropos at this moment.

Bottom signal.

What’s the best open-source frontier LLM model?

19.98M bitty are in circulation. Adding 450 bitty / day.

Feels like at some point, most of these will find diamond hands again. Only question is when. Hopefully soon.

Girl dad!!

Genuinely curious what the heck is happening…all pain aside.

Middle East coming in to save the day? Gotta love benevolent dictatorships.

See what happens when number doesn’t go up?

why not throw some slop out here on NOSTR for the plebs, too? Lower resistance bands being tested…

Do bitcoin shorts get liquidated anymore? Feels like we’ve been going on 5 years of the answer to that question being “no.”

When will liquidating shorts be the profitable thing to do for Binance and Coinbase? Really looking forward to that stage of bitcoin.

Class of 2021 is the realist.

Coinbase doesn’t have the bitcoin (probably).

Super cycle!! 😂
