Sound money must be chosen by the market, not imposed by government. Throughout history, free peoples have consistently chosen hard money like gold. Bitcoin is the digital continuation of this tradition. #TheBitcoinStandard
We finally get the first #book about #Bitcoin , #TheBitcoinStandard by @saifedean translated into my native language. Looks like 🎅 #Santa is real. They cost me 220660 #sats each and It will be fun to look back on this price in 10 - 20 years.
Thanks to all who participated in the translation and happy holidays y'all 🖖

Millions of people worldwide are securely & happily holding ~$1 Trillion worth of bitcoin.

This is the only thing that matters: market success. If you think btc failed because it hasn't fulfilled a theoretical ideal you project on it, you're the one who failed to understand it.

@nicstheses @onat I agree. He did acknowledge the transaction per second problem. Doesn’t make Lightning wrong for building on top of what Satoshi made and already works perfectly. So perfectly that each coin is worth MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE MAKE IN A YEAR!!! Does anyone ever think of that fact? SOME PEOPLE IN THE USA MAKE LESS THAN ONE BITCOIN PER YEAR!!!! #scarcity #bitcoin #hardestmoneyever #TheBitcoinStandard
