Thought of the week from Marty Bent:
Open source distributed systems take a lot of time and effort to build.
Thought of the week from Matt Odell:
The trick is to buy bitcoin - and learn how to use it securely - before the
political and economic crises start.
The powers that be are beginning to clamp down on capital. Make sure you have bitcoin before you need it.
Enjoy the holiday season with your family and friends. Have some good conversations. Good conversations are good for the soul.
Attacks against bitcoin users, businesses, and infrastructure by major world governments should be expected. They should also be in the threat model of any other network that dreams of competing with bitcoin.
PoS chains will naturally centralize validation among exchanges, ETFs, and other custodians - the easiest companies to regulate.
Bitcoin will usher in an era of energy efficiency the likes of which the world has never seen.
This is the time to start carefully noting the people who have come out of the woodwork to let us all know that Bitcoin is, in fact, dead.
This was low-key the most bullish week in Bitcoin in a while from a fundamental perspective that I can remember.
