When did the BBC descend to such rotten journalism? This article is almost embarrassingly bad in its attempt to foment outrage over the apparent failure by #telegram to adhere to “norms”.
No darlings, let me tell you about the goddam law. What laws apply to Telegram and what do they say Telegram is legally required to do? If you wrote about that instead of riding your high horse, the article would be half the length and twice the integrity. As written, I give it a C-.

Trump reminds me of that old Daniel Webster quote - “There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.”
He is in this for himself and himself alone, but don’t take my word for it. The vote at the voting booth means far less than how you spend your time and labour, so vote by stacking sats. If he’s telling the truth and makes good on every election promise, you win. If he’s lying, you win.

Great turnout at Bitkiwi X in Christchurch this afternoon, where the room was treated to a panel of local legends discussing #bitcoin through a NZ lens. My first time attending a Bitkiwi event and the thing that struck me most was the broad demographic in the room. Yes, you had the old dudes and the code jockeys, but families too and everyone at different stages of their journey. Even Satoshi wouldn’t have predicted that the hardest form of money yet invented was also the most accessible. And the most resilient - while the rest of the banking world was reeling from the Crowdstrike outage, #lightning payments were merrily flying across the room for food, drink and merch. All thanks to the likes of Kiwilamb and Lightning Pay. Nice work @npub1uth…mmmu and team. Looking forward to the next one! @npub17fd…c538 @npub1hrc…k525 #proofofmahi

This Guardian article about Hermès Birkin bags (https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2024/apr/10/birkin-bag-hermes-lawsuit) caused me to reflect on artificial scarcity vs absolute scarcity:
"Kris Jenner walked into [Jeffrey Berk's] pop-up shop in Aspen, Colorado, and told him that she and her daughters could not quench their Birkin thirst because 'no matter how much they were spending, they could only get two bags a year – it was a hard and fast rule'".
I wonder if the Kardashians have joined the dots and are hodling? Only time will tell…

The debt is raised using unsecured convertible notes. This gives max flexibility to MSTR and doesn’t restrict its ability to sell BTC if it needs to. If I were Saylor I would not touch the BTC and just convert the notes to equity if I’m not in a cashflow position to redeem.

I agree with your assessment that governments *should* be stacking BTC, but the reality is that they can’t. Any imprimatur given to competing currencies like #bitcoin is an acknowledgment that fiat is flawed. And they can’t have that, sunken cost fallacy etc. I wouldn’t get too upset about the 30k BTC. Wouldn’t buy more than 5 F22 Raptors at current prices. 😁

I rewatched Charlie & The Chocolate Factory with the fam last night. This exchange of dialogue between Charlie and his Grandpa George really resonated with me (granted, I may have misheard some of this). Grandpa George was the OG Orange-pilling hodler…
Charlie Bucket: “A woman offered me $65,000 for my #bitcoin. Someone else would pay more. We need the money more than we need the #bitcoin.”
Grandpa George: “Young man, come here. There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this #bitcoin, there's only 21 million of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy?”
Charlie Bucket: “No sir.”
