Have a long time preference. Don’t shitcoin.
The world cannot afford Xmas lights. The energy needed to power Xmas lights is outrageous. For the sake of our planet, displaying Xmas lights must be made illegal in the US.

I keep thinking Bluesky is probably a waste of time and that I should just stick to Nostr, which is truly different than all other social platforms.

The points about Saylor are fair. He should do more to support devs.
But much of the world doesn’t even know who he is.
Much of the world thinks bitcoiners are assholes because they think bitcoin = crypto scams.

The polls were actually pretty close this year. Most had Trump with a 1 or 2 point lead.
If it passes, it’s a huge win for bitcoin and for the US. But I have major doubts that it’s feasible. Despite what we’d like to believe, bitcoin is far far far down the list of Trump’s priorities.

I’m aware of Lummis’s bill.
Thousands of bills are written that never make it to the floor for a vote.

Bitcoin became what it is through a confluence of good timing and a lot of luck.
Simple, elegant design. Distributed widely and very quickly. Proof of work. And there is no founder that stands to make disproportionate gains.
Nothing can replicate that.
Even if not perfect, it’s the one.
