Bitcoin: Positive-sum. Fixed supply + growing adoption = network value increases for all holders. Digital scarcity capturing value from gold/fiat. Altcoins: Zero-sum greater fool game. VC dumps on retail, founders exit, bagholders rotate. via @postburst.bsky.social

If it’s a pyramid scheme, it’s the worst one ever made: the founder disappeared, took $0 of profit, and the network has been running without a CEO for 15+ years. It’s simply a decentralized commodity.

It’s not all the same. #bitcoin
Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture. 

Pic 1: PEOPLE THAT CALL ALL CRYPTO 'BITCOIN'
Pic 2: PEOPLE THAT CALL ALL SODA "COKE"

They're the same picture.

BlueSky on Bitcoin: 20k→50k: silence. 50k→30k: “It’s dead!” 30k→60k: silence. 60k→45k: “Crash! Rug pull!” 45k→120k: silence. 120k→94k: “Scam!” It makes higher highs and lower lows each time, but people want sooo badly for Bitcoin to not be a thing. Bad news for you. It’s never going away. 😂

Gentle reminder.. Open source code is literally just that. Open source code. It doesn’t care about political opinions, who’s using it for good or bad, or who’s advocating against it, or who’s changing it to be sold as something new.

If Bitcoin is disqualified because Trump likes it, should we drop email, the internet and electricity too? I’m pretty sure he uses those daily. It’s open and permission-less technology, folks. People who we don’t like will use it, as well as people who depend on it and need it.

Detaching Bitcoin from oligarchy narratives is how we get progressives on board. Too many lump Bitcoin into the oligarchy, dark crypto money, trump crypto corruption bucket. Couldn’t be further from the truth - Bitcoin is the people’s money.

Friendly reminder: Bitcoin miners don’t compete with households for power. They go where no one else will—soaking up stranded wind, solar, and hydro that would otherwise go unused. This is a report with new data which contradicts headlines most people are used to.

Folks here are saying that “bitcoin is bad because it’s used for money laundering”. So, currencies used for money laundering are bad, and should be avoided at all costs. Got it. Here’s the facts; for clarity, bitcoin is the column on the right 😉

I’m not trying to convince anyone to buy bitcoin. In fact, for arrogant critics, smug in their dogmatic faith in a broken economic paradigm, I’m happy that they remain sidelined while Bitcoin grows. I just want to set the record straight. Here’s the differences between a pyramid scheme and Bitcoin.

Our currency hasn’t been backed by gold since 1972. Bitcoin, however, is backed by the energy used to secure it and the thousands of nodes running around the world.

Many bitcoin critics seem unaware that they're entering a mature debate, with extensive back-and-forth already in place. When we're already years deep in the empirical and theoretical evidence, outsiders who simply repeat the opening moves aren't going to get very far.

Bitcoin is for criminals. Bitcoin is also for protestors. Bitcoin is for terrorists. Bitcoin is also for refugees. Bitcoin is for degenerate speculators. Bitcoin is also for billions suffering from hyperinflation. Since when do we assign blame to the tool instead of the individuals who use it?

It’s a good time to be watching The Big Short. Paradigms can shift. Central banks can fail, in-fact they fail all the time outside of a few countries. Stop doubting technology, start doubting leaders with corrupt incentives. Maybe Western luxury is the bubble.

Bitcoin is out there, in collapsed economies and in the darkest corners of the world, helping people that no one else is willing to help. Being a lifeline for *anyone* Fiat money has failed most people. Our monetary and “aid” systems exploit and repress instead of delivering prosperity and freedom

Bhutan has accumulated more than $1 billion worth of Bitcoin on the back of using its previously stranded hydropower resources to mine BTC How do folks here feel about that? Do we have another technology that can convert wasted/stranded energy in remote places into global liquid capital?

Do you live in a country with a reserve currency? Are financial products available to you? Are your bank deposits insured? Then you are a rare individual. Less than 1 billion people in the world have the freedom to bank. The other 7 billion aren’t so lucky. People need to wake up.

Friendly reminder, most people don’t understand why Bitcoin exists, why it has to use energy, and how much energy it actually uses I hate talking about price but as it increases, it looks like these people will take more drastic measures to try and “affect change” You can’t stop open source code.
