Ever wondered what sets Bitcoin apart in the vast sea of cryptoassets? 🌊💡 My recent chat with Moby Media peeled back the layers on why Bitcoin stands as the cornerstone of real value in the digital asset world. Hint: It's not just another coin in the cryptosphere. youtu.be/Nxo-WSRATCI

Newcomers in #Bitcoin often think it is "easy", like you just buy, the price skyrockets, then you sell.
It's not like that at all. First you need to work your way through understanding why it makes sense to buy it, challenging the core belief system that you were born in. It sucks. Changing your world view is not enjoyable.
Hundreds of hours later, you realise you need a thousand more to even get your head around the basics. Sacrifices, hard work, consistency.
Then everybody around you thinks you are crazy, because they are not ready to see it yet. It's almost the entire world against you. Standing your ground is challenging. Even people you thought were smart and people you respected are now against you. Good luck finding enjoyment in that.
Then you need to find how to secure your Bitcoin properly. Hell, that's everything but straightforward. It takes gut and courage to self-custody. Responsibilities are not easy. If you f* up, there is nobody to call. That's on you.
Then the market does everything but what you expect. It reacts to irrational actors doing irrational things. Volatility, bear markets, sudden drops. Even the few people you thought you orange-pilled are now spreading FUD. That's where you realise they never got it in the first place. Yey! Now even they think you are crazy. And since they probably sold at the worst moment, they now blame you.
When it eventually goes up, they dare calling you "lucky", because they still don't get it. Nobody is thanking you, nobody is apologizing.
Hell yeah, it is "easy". Try it. When it goes up, you will have earned it.

As liquidity is going to flow into the economy with interest rate cuts in 2024/2025, it feels like you can have central banks working for you by getting long exposure in assets that will benefit from high liquidity. I am doubling down on my previous bullish statements! #Bitcoin

In the quiet vigil of November 5th, we find ourselves at the vertex of two vastly different visions of value exchange. Today, I share a vital video that voices valid concerns over the veneer of convenience offered by Central Bank Digital Currencies (#CBDC).
Vis-à-vis the virtues of #Bitcoin, which vouch for financial veracity and voluntarism, CBDCs could well veer us toward a vista less vibrant, echoing an all-too-vivid Orwellian vigilance.
For those vested in venturing further into the virtues and vices of cryptoassets, my book "Understanding Crypto Fundamentals" ventures to provide clarity and vision.
As we observe the vestiges of a valiant vendetta, let’s vow to verify the vectors of our financial voyage.

End of November 2022, I signed a contract with Springer Nature to publish my #Bitcoin-focused book "Understanding Crypto Fundamentals." Bitcoin price at the time: $15.6k.
This morning, Bitcoin's price was flirting with $35k, a 120% gain in less than a year. The recent rise is driven by the likely imminent approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF, as anticipated and described in the book (see Chapter 10, "Prime Time").
The return of a bull market for Bitcoin also fits perfectly the pattern described in Chapter 9, "Crypto Trends".
Learn more about Bitcoin's price cycles driven by the halving of the supply, Bitcoin's Golden Bull Ratio, and especially the economic fundamentals and valuation methods behind these developments.

#Bitcoin did not lose half of its "value" since the peak of the last bull market.
Bitcoin's "value" is at an all-time high (hash rate ATH, growing level decentralization, record number of addresses holding 0.1 to 1 BTC, regulatory uncertainty dropping, growing institutional adoption with ETFs around the corner, growing share of renewables used to mine, ESG narrative finally settling, etc.); only the market price still needs to reflect that.

Suggestion for new fundamental valuation method for #Bitcoin:
Since blocks are (mostly) full, Bitcoin's network value should be proportional to transaction fees, and not only to transaction volume (as the NVT assumes).
Opinion?

Well, if you put in the work, you get to be rewarded in proportion to your effort (PoW). Is that not better than "if you are rich, you get to accumulate money faster" (PoS)?
Also, Bitcoin mining's impact on the environment is likely a net positive, not the other way around. Happy to provide literature on that if you would like to learn more.

2023-04-25 18:49:02 UTC

Proof-of-stake (#PoS) makes the rich richer. In that sense, fiat currencies also have a PoS structure.
Proof-of-work (#PoW) make those who put the effort in richer.
Only one of the two can be sustainable over the long run. The other is doomed to fail.

Alright, so after doing some research, it seems that Lightning Labs' LN address is not usable for zaps on Nostr (yet, hopefully). Instead, one needs to use a "lightning network-compatible wallet that supports zap" (email-address like), which can be offered by many other apps. I just set up mine via WalletOfSatoshi (on Android), updated my Nostr profile and should now be ready to be zapped on Nostr.
