Je freier eine Gesellschaft, desto natürlicher setzt sich gesundes Geld durch.
(Thier's Law)
Die abnehmende Volatilität und das wachsende Freiheitsstreben einer zunehmend bewussten Minderheit zeigen: Bitcoin wird nicht von allen akzeptiert werden - doch es wird das Geld jener sein, die frei und wertschaffend leben wollen. Denn sie werden sich der schleichenden Enteignung nicht länger aussetzen.

Chris is back hosting "Who Wants to be a Satoshi Millionaire?" this Friday at @BitcoinConfEUR!
Everyone in the audience can play & win sats + epic prizes.
But here's the question: who do you want to see battle it out on stage? Tag them below!

Recent months have revealed that many self-proclaimed libertarians turn out to be authoritarians the moment someone exercises freedom in a way they disapprove of.

Like someone who has nothing better to do (because sound money, low time preference, minimalism... insert your fav pleb slop cliché here).

Everyone's fighting over Core vs. Knots while Bitcoin mining centralization is the real threat staring us in the face.
Wake up. This is what we should be fighting for. Let's put our energy where it actually counts. Let's bring mining back home...

See I was just updating my business cards to pleb slop enjoyer and now you drop this moniker 😱
Well, I agree with the sentiment, but what do you suggest specifically?
As a well-meaning Knozi, I low-key tried for months (maybe not always in the best way, I'm not perfect) to find common grounds with @WhalesSecret, @eric_lombrozo, @BitMEXResearch, @bitschmidty and others, and I'd even argue I did find it, but in the end, here we are.
Probably the short-term goal should be just to try to avoid many well-meaning people needlessly losing money in a chain split, and needlessly losing friends in a community split. But it seems like a too ambitious goal at this stage.
A more long-term goal could be to accelerate in the direction I was just discussing with my Coretard/spam-apologist pal @coinjoined a few minutes ago: x.com/coinjoined/status/1987… (one static, robust and neutral consensus kernel, a few more opinionated base distributions, many derivative clients).
Pump it
BREAKING: Trump bringt die Stimulus-Checks zurück!
Er kündigt eine „Tarif-Dividende“ von mindestens $2.000 pro Person an; finanziert durch Zölle.
Inflation scheint egal, Hauptsache Checks für alle. Aber gut, meinetwegen:
Das erinnert mich an die Covid-Zeit; damals gab es drei bundesweite Runden: April 2020, Ende Dezember 2020/Anfang Januar 2021, ab dem 12. März 2021.

Prediction markets work because people risk something real.
If these polls required locking even a small amount of Bitcoin, they'd stop being noise and start being signal. @nikitabier @elonmusk

Brad, I genuinely respect your intent to see the good in people and to add thoughtful nuance to Bitcoin debates, but this is romanticizing opacity. This isn’t about personal attacks. It’s about transparency, legality, and the health of the Bitcoin ecosystem.
Here’s my honest advice for you (and for others with reputational risk on the line):
- Do some diligence. You say Lava is "totally able to pivot to custodial and crush", yet admit you’re "not sure" if they’re doing so legally.
If you’re backing or defending a company like that, start by asking what licenses they actually hold. MSB registration, MTLs, MiCA, BitLicense, state lending licenses, a bank license, and more are all mandatory to operate products like trading, custody, and lending legally all over the world.
Talk to their GC or legal team, if they have one. The regulatory landscape for Bitcoin financial services has never been clearer. There’s no "gray area" left.
And this information is public, by the way. You don’t have to trust that someone "has licenses":
Block: block.xyz/legal/licenses
Strike: strike.me/legal/licenses
- @MarediaShehzan claimed they did $100M in loan originations in a few days, among other things. Let's just use that one for now.
On-chain data doesn’t match those claims. As I showed in the thread above, Lava hasn’t received more than ~$50M in total collateral deposits. Assuming a 50% LTV, that puts their loan book closer to $10–20M.
If that's the case, those financial statements are more than misleading, they're dangerous. Especially if they’re being used to attract investors or win customer trust.
All of this is easy to verify. Ask to see the financials, collateral, and corresponding addresses. On-chain addresses should make that simple.
Lastly, to be clear, I'm speaking up because Bitcoiners (investors, customers, and builders) have a responsibility to protect this space from the kind of behavior that's burned people before. We've all seen this movie. We're supposed to be better than that.
If Lava's claims are accurate, that would be great for Bitcoin. We all just want to be sure. Bitcoin doesn't have a governing body to protect it, it only has us.
Me: sees the UASF client and rushed to @predyx_markets
@Rob1Ham already owns the market...😡

I have no way of knowing. I asked @MarediaShehzan but haven’t gotten any answers.
Do they have an MSB registration, MTLs, MiCA, BitLicense, state lending licenses, EU lending licenses, or a bank license (required to issue a line of credit in the US)? Those are all necessary to operate products like trading and lending legally.
@MarediaShehzan has also made some big claims, for example, saying they did $100M in loan originations in just a few days. But on-chain data (see thread below) shows roughly ~$3M in the Lava Pool address, which has never received more than $50M in total deposits.
It also looks like customer collateral was moved out of 2-of-2 multisig and now sits on @krakenfx. Is that where customer collateral is held?
Assuming Lava operates at 50% LTV, that would place their lifetime loan book closer to $10M–$20M, not $100M in a few days.
Anyway, I’m not the person to ask, I have no association with the business and don’t know much beyond what’s public. These are just the questions I (and others) have asked that still don’t have answers to my knowledge.
