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

Reposting my response to “The Nerdskull” who made a popular post about Bitcoin “not being apolitical” and spinelessly blocked a valid argument:

You’ve attached your ideology to it and made it political. Bitcoin is an open and permissionless network. Like internet, email, or electricity. Even if we wanted to, we can’t shut it off, change, or co-opt it on the base layer To the network, an activist, criminal, or politician all look the same

lol I’m not sure where I insulted you—that wasn’t my intention, sorry. I just get tired of hearing the same arguments. We’re all free to think what we want, but we literally can’t shut Bitcoin off, and over any 3+ year stretch it’s only shown growth. I have yet to see otherwise.

Yeah you MMT folks love presenting pseudoscience as truth. And just so you know, over 50% of the world is unbanked, can’t participate in markets, or even vote for that matter. Check your financial privilege some time.

More than half of U.S. stock trading is happening off the public exchanges, funneled into dark pools and internal trading desks of major Wall Street firms, per Bloomberg.

Really easy to say that while you likely live under a stable enough government with monetary policies you agree with. “ZERO value to most folks”? Tell that to the billions who live under authoritarian regimes without any access to reliable banking or saving in a stable currency. Give me a break.

🌘 @silverlining.bsky.social · 26/11/2025
You’re treating money as if it only has value when a government declares it and backs it. That’s why you can’t see Bitcoin’s fundamentals. If your framework assumes state-issued money, natural adoption and network effects of a non-state monetary asset will always look like ‘no fundamentals’ to you.

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.

Sure it’s not “real”, but miners do impose very real physical constraints on attackers. If you store your jewelry in a steel vault, it will take me physical time and energy to break through it. Same if you store value in a long string of numbers. It would take massive time and energy to break.

Yeah well Bitcoin had been “dead” about 4 times before that Sam Bankman shit happened. It wasn’t Bitcoin that failed, it was him who lost people money as a fraudster. Thousands of fraud cases occur on the internet everyday, do we blame the internet? People die in car accidents, do we blame cars?

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.

I think more people buying, less people selling is what makes the price of anything go up. It was criminals 5 yrs ago, bankers today, I wonder what it’ll be next 🤔 You’ll be barking whatever bullshit headline’s currently being sold to people who want to cope with why this thing just won’t go away.

I didn’t give a shit if bankers bought it in 2015, why would I give a shit now? Good people and bad people can both use the same open and permissionless network, dude. I don’t like bankers, but I can’t stop them from using it any more than they can stop me. That’s the whole point of Bitcoin.

Funny how narratives change to fit people’s bias. Every 5 years or so, a new group of people are associated with this open network and it either helps or harms the narrative. If Trumps advocated using Internet and email (which are also open protocols like Bitcoin), would you stop using those too?

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. 😂

or Or OR*—it could be that hearing the same, lazy, misinformed takes about an open protocol that has stood and worked for 17 years, where people like to read headlines and display their “righteous” morals and opinions as fact has gotten extremely boring for me. The data is there, go look at it. 👍🏼

lol stfu dude, the burden of proof for bitcoin being a “scam” is on you. It’s been 15 years and I hear the same bullshit time and time again, yet Bitcoin’s compound annual growth rate is 115% over the last 5 years. But sure, you go and keep diggin in your butt, twin 👏🏼👍🏼

LOL what new financial exposure??? If the “reward stream vanishes overnight” like you say, I still don’t end up any colder, poorer, or left with additional “exposure”. I paid for the same energy and got the same heat. You might not like Bitcoin, that’s okay, but you’re grasping at straws here.

What am I additionally risking while using a Bitcoin mining space heater? I pay the same power bill Instead of finger-pointing at people for using energy they purchase, maybe worry about how 60-70% of the energy produced in the USA is wasted every year. Enough to power the country an extra 8 months
131
🌘 @silverlining.bsky.social · 16/11/2025
I don’t understand. I plug in a 1500 W mining space heater, or a 1500 W regular space heater, it heats my room the same. No extra energy has been used and it’s providing extra utility *for me*, so what’s your beef??

🌘 @silverlining.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
You guys are quick to point out 3% drops but are always really quiet when there are 10%-20% gains 😂😂 BTC was $61,000 per coin last year, it dips below $100,000 and now its a “rug pull”? Lmaoo Over 10 yrs, watching the mental gymnastics people go through to fit their own narrative is unreal.

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.

We might slam Bitcoin for using energy, but what does it take to mine lithium and build batteries? That process chews up water, land, and emits a ton of carbon, along with predatory financial repression/colonialism. If we’re talking environmental costs, it should be consistent across all tech.

🌘 @silverlining.bsky.social · 11/11/2025
Saying Bitcoin has no redeeming value might miss the point, it's debatable for another day. Evidently, miners turn electricity into something that’s redeemable anywhere — no banks, no trust, no permissions. If that system didn’t work, it wouldn’t be global and liquid market of $2.3 trillion today.

It’s a classic free-rider problem — jurisdictions can always re-site; bans just shift location, not demand. Methane, for instance, is 80x more harmful than CO₂ short-term. Even vilified Bitcoin miners, acting as cleanup buyers, can mitigate more carbon than blanket prohibitions could. In my opinion.

🌘 @silverlining.bsky.social · 11/11/2025
I read the article — it’s clear there’s growing political energy on both sides to rein in AI, data centres, and mining. But I don’t see how that could be enforced globally. Couldn't we make quicker progress tackling the 60–70% of U.S. energy wasted yearly — making use of vented methane for instance?

🌘 @silverlining.bsky.social · 10/11/2025
Emerging markets are a good example — bitcoin miners chasing wasted or stranded energy where no one else would. It’s those kinds of incentives I hope will grow while the massive data centres eventually fail.
011
🌘 @silverlining.bsky.social · 10/11/2025
Yeah nothing shameful about that at all. I’m not a fan of AI and data centres, or big bitcoin mining ops with power contract arbitrage, but it’s hard to imagine the world stopping their use or development. More realistically, they should be forced to hook their power in away from residential grids.

It’s just ironic, is all. You said it has no value “on paper,” but it clearly does. From the post you quoted, it sounds like you’re saying Bitcoin’s growth is speculative, detached from fundamentals. But it grew organically, outside the traditional system, which kind of is the fundamental value.

With no signs of stopping 🤣 Perhaps there’s a reason for that besides the headlines you read.
