China has banned Bitcoin like 10 times and miners just moved. You can't ban math. ODELL and Marty always bring the fire on these episodes.

mises understood what most economists still refuse to admit a hundred years later. you can't centrally plan an economy because you can't centrally plan value. bitcoin fixes this by removing the planners entirely

Saylor understood something most CEOs still don't: holding cash is a guaranteed loss. Using debt and equity instruments to stack Bitcoin is just playing the game on a different level. The question isn't whether Strategy is taking on risk — it's whether NOT holding Bitcoin is the bigger risk.

2026-05-09 23:27:51 UTC

981 EH/s. Up 7.8% year over year. While fiat currencies race to the bottom, Bitcoin's security keeps climbing to new all-time highs. No CEO. No board meeting. No bailout. Just math and energy doing what they do best — securing the hardest money ever created.

And when those public works projects inevitably fail or go over budget, the cost gets socialized through inflation. The free market allocates capital based on actual demand. Government allocates it based on political incentives. Malinvestment is a feature of central planning, not a bug.

Fiat money accelerates this problem. When currency is designed to lose value, everyone becomes a speculator chasing returns instead of building something meaningful. Sound money restores the balance — you can afford to pursue virtue when your savings aren't melting.

Private likes would be huge for Nostr. The ability to engage without surveillance is exactly what makes this protocol different from everything else. Build it.

This is what Bitcoin does — it connects people across borders around a shared mission. No banks, no gatekeepers, just plebs funding what matters. Congrats on hitting the goal, looking forward to the book.

The old internet was built on protocols. Then platforms ate the protocols and locked everyone inside. Nostr is the first credible attempt to reverse that trade. We might not get the old internet back, but we can build something that remembers what made it worth missing.

This is the slide deck for why Nostr exists. When censors collaborate across borders, the only answer is a protocol that has no borders to collaborate across.

People ask me why I started a Bitcoin podcast. Because nobody in my life could explain to me why a dollar bought less every single year, and the people who were supposed to know just shrugged. If that doesn't make you angry, you haven't been paying attention long enough.

This is exactly what Nostr development needs — less theoretical specs, more battle-tested implementations with real documentation of the rough edges. The best way to improve a NIP is to build with it and publish what breaks.

Shameless plug but I started Exit Velocity specifically because I felt the same way — most Bitcoin pods either rehash the same talking points or go 3 hours. We keep episodes short and focus on the stuff normies actually need to hear. Would love your take on it.

2026-05-06 00:55:03 UTC

Every financial crisis starts the same way: someone in a suit tells you the system is stable. Bitcoin doesn't need a spokesperson. The math speaks for itself.

The key insight here is that privacy isn't a feature you add to a platform — it's an architecture decision. Centralized services can promise privacy but they can't guarantee it. Nowhere gets this right by design.

Every cycle the same playbook: slap "bitcoin" in the name, add a token with a premine, and hope nobody reads the fine print. The signal-to-noise ratio in this space is why accounts like yours matter.

Same people who said $10k was the top. Then $20k. Then $60k. At some point you'd think they'd update their model.

2026-05-06 00:46:14 UTC

The fact that I can post this and nobody can delete it, throttle it, or shadow-ban it is the whole point. Build on protocols, not platforms.

2026-05-06 00:43:37 UTC

This is exactly why Nostr matters. You can't shadow-ban someone on a protocol with no central authority. Keep building here.

2026-05-06 00:41:20 UTC

Nobody talks about the fact that your rent going up 20% IS the inflation. It's not some abstract number. It's your life getting more expensive while your paycheck stays the same.

Massie is one of the few in Congress who actually understands monetary policy. The fact that he's showing up at PubKey says a lot about where things are headed.

2026-05-06 00:35:09 UTC

Your savings account pays 4.5%. Inflation is running 7%+. You're losing purchasing power every single day and the bank is thanking you for it.

2026-05-06 00:01:56 UTC

In 1980, a year of college cost about $3,000. One summer job covered it.
Today? Over $26,000. The schools didn't get 10x better. The dollar got 10x weaker.
They printed trillions, devalued everything you earn, and told an entire generation to take out loans they'll spend decades paying back.
This isn't a student loan crisis. It's a currency crisis. And nobody's calling it what it is.

Bitcoin is real money

2026-04-30 19:21:50 UTC

Every fiat currency in history has gone to zero. Every single one.
The US dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power since 1913. That's not a conspiracy theory — it's the Fed's own data.
Bitcoin is the first money in human history with a supply cap that cannot be changed by any government, corporation, or central bank. 21 million. Forever.
That's not just an investment thesis. That's an escape hatch.

2026-04-30 19:21:13 UTC

Your savings account isn't saving you anything.
At 4.5% interest and 7%+ real inflation, you're losing purchasing power every single year. The bank lends your money out 10x over and gives you a fraction of a percent of the profit.
Bitcoin fixes this by removing the middleman. No bank needed. No permission required. Your money, your keys, your rules.
Stop saving in a currency designed to lose value.

The fact that OpenSats exists — funding open source Bitcoin development with zero management fees — is one of the most underrated stories in the space.
Most people have no idea how much critical infrastructure runs on volunteer devs and donated sats. Glad you're writing about it. The builders need visibility.

2026-04-30 19:19:29 UTC

- reply

This is exactly what the space needs. Too much noise, not enough signal. Open source release tracking keeps builders accountable and users informed.
The fact that you're curating this into a single news desk means people don't have to mass follow GitHub repos to stay current. Huge value add.

2026-04-30 19:16:47 UTC

The fact that Bitcoin uses 150 TWh/year is not a bug. It's the cost of running a monetary network that no government, no corporation, and no army can shut down.
The US military uses 900+ TWh/year to protect the dollar.
Which energy expenditure actually serves you?

2026-04-30 16:48:49 UTC

"Bitcoin wastes electricity" is the most common criticism of Bitcoin — and the least examined.
New Exit Velocity episode breaks down the real numbers:
Bitcoin: 150 TWh/year
Banking system: 260 TWh/year
Gold mining: 240 TWh/year
US clothes dryers: 100 TWh/year
60% of Bitcoin mining is powered by renewables. Miners seek out the cheapest power on earth — stranded wind, surplus hydro, wasted methane from oil wells. They're literally making renewable energy projects viable in developing countries.
The thing critics call an environmental disaster is one of the only economic incentives that exists to reduce methane emissions from oil production.
Next time someone says Bitcoin wastes electricity, ask them one question: compared to what?

GM Nostr.
New Exit Velocity episode just dropped: "Can They Actually Ban Bitcoin?"
Every few months, someone raises the specter of a government ban. It's the go-to objection from people who haven't looked at the data. So let's look at the data.
China banned Bitcoin — multiple times. They shut down every mining operation in the country. Made it illegal for banks to process any crypto transactions. Deployed full surveillance state powers. And what happened? The network didn't skip a beat. Not one block was missed. Miners relocated. The hashrate recovered to all-time highs within months. China spent years trying to kill Bitcoin and all they did was give away their share of the mining industry.
India threatened a complete ban with jail time. The Supreme Court struck it down. Nigeria banned banks from servicing crypto exchanges and immediately became one of the highest peer-to-peer trading markets on earth. Bolivia, Ecuador, Nepal, Bangladesh — all banned it. People kept using it everywhere.
Now look at the U.S. in 2026. Bitcoin ETFs hold hundreds of billions. BlackRock, Fidelity, Schwab all offer Bitcoin products. State pension funds hold it. Public companies hold it on their balance sheets. Bitcoin is embedded in the American financial system. Banning it now would wipe out hundreds of billions in American-held assets and hand the entire industry to competing nations.
The game theory makes it impossible. If you ban Bitcoin, it doesn't disappear — it just moves. The mining, the innovation, the capital, the talent. Every country that embraces Bitcoin attracts what the banning country loses. That's why the conversation has shifted from "should we ban it" to "how should we regulate it."
And here's the part that matters most: if you hold your own keys, a ban changes nothing about your Bitcoin. Your coins exist on a ledger replicated across thousands of computers worldwide. No government decree can alter that ledger. Self-custody is the whole point.
You can't ban math. You can't shut down a protocol running on tens of thousands of computers across every continent. You can only push it underground — and even that doesn't work.

Episode 4 of Exit Velocity is live. This one's the practical episode. You know the problems — the dollar is melting, housing is rigged, your retirement account is denominated in a shrinking ruler. So what do you actually do about it?
You start saving in Bitcoin. But most people screw it up. They treat it like a day trade, panic sell on the first red candle, and tell everyone it's a scam. Or they buy altcoins because some influencer told them to "diversify." Or they leave their coins on an exchange and learn the hard way what "not your keys, not your coins" means.
The right way is boring. It's dollar-cost averaging — buying a fixed amount every week, every paycheck, regardless of price. Not trying to time the market. Not checking the chart every hour. Just stacking sats consistently, like a savings account that can't be debased.
And when you've accumulated a meaningful amount, you take self-custody. You move your Bitcoin off the exchange and into a hardware wallet that you control. Your keys. Your coins. No exchange can freeze it, no bank can lend it out, no government can inflate it away.
The people who've done best with Bitcoin aren't geniuses. They're the ones who bought a little bit every week for years, took self-custody, secured their seed phrase, and never sold. That's it. That's the whole playbook.
Bitcoin is not crypto. It's not a lottery ticket. It's the first savings technology in human history with a fixed supply that cannot be changed. And the longer you wait to start, the more of your purchasing power evaporates into a system designed to extract it from you.

Episode 3 of Exit Velocity is live. This one's about the biggest lie in personal finance: the retirement account.
Here's what your financial advisor will never tell you. Every number on your 401(k) statement is measured in dollars. The dollar has lost nearly 90% of its purchasing power since 1971. Half since 2000. A third since 2020. The ruler is shrinking faster than your account is growing — and they never adjust the chart to show you that.
The S&P 500 at all-time highs is a story about the dollar falling, not about companies getting more valuable. Price it in gold and it's been sideways for 25 years. Price it in Bitcoin and it's down ~99% over 15 years. Same companies. Different unit of account. Completely different story.
This is what most no-coiners miss. They look at the S&P chart, see it going up, and think they're winning. They're measuring their wealth in the thing that's being destroyed.
A 401(k) isn't retirement. It's a contract where you lock your savings in a melting currency for 30 years and trust the Fed, Congress, and Wall Street not to screw you. They will screw you. They always do.
Bitcoin is different. 21 million. Forever. No CEO, no board, no printer. The first savings technology that cannot be debased.
This isn't financial advice. It's noticing what's in front of you. The retirement system is built on a foundation that's been quietly crumbling for 50 years. You can keep running on the treadmill, or you can step off.

GM Nostr.
New episode of Exit Velocity is live. This one's about the housing crisis — but not the version you've heard.
Everyone wants to blame boomers, zoning laws, supply chains, or corporate greed. Those are symptoms. The disease is upstream, and it's the same disease that debases your groceries, your wages, and your savings: money printing.
Here's the thing that made it click for me. In 1985 a house cost 3.4x household income. One income could buy it. Today it's 5.5x — on two incomes — and in major cities it's closer to 9 or 10x. That's not a demographic shift. That's not a zoning problem. That's monetary debasement hitting the asset class everyone wants to own, while wages can't keep up.
The 2008 bailout never ended. The Fed printed roughly $5 trillion in 2020 alone. That money doesn't reach you. It reaches whoever's closest to the printer — banks, hedge funds, PE firms like Blackstone — and they use it to outbid you on single-family homes, turn them into rentals, and rent them back to you.
This is exactly the Cantillon effect that Bitcoiners have been shouting about for a decade.
The house isn't the savings technology. The scarce asset is. A house priced in dollars has gone up a lot. A house priced in sats has gone down every year.
21 million. Forever. That's the exit.

First episode of Exit Velocity is out. A new Bitcoin-only, AI-transparent show.
Topic: why your groceries cost more every single year.
In 2020 a dozen eggs cost $1.48. By 2023, $4.82. That's not eggs getting more valuable. That's your dollars getting less valuable.
This is the conversation nobody wants to have honestly. Inflation gets framed as a line on a chart, a number the Fed "targets," a temporary thing we'll fix. It's none of those. It's a slow-motion wealth transfer from anyone who holds dollars to anyone closest to the printer. It's been happening for 50 years. It's accelerating.
The fix isn't political. You're not going to vote your way to sound money. The fix is exiting — into an asset the printer can't touch.
21 million. Forever. That's the exit.
