@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale You sure love to lean into the brand that you're the smartest and richest guy in the room.

The #Bitcoin community doesn't owe you anything. We fight for what's best for the world and to protect what is arguably the greatest creation in human history.
@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale In fact, it's the Fed's monetary policy that has perverted risk tolerance across all assets and has put you into your position in the first place.

Your wealth has come from over marketing your brilliance to retail, smoking joints on podcasts, SNL skits, and so on.
@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale Tesla loses money. SpaceX loses money.

You live on Government subsidies.

In fact, no company you've ever founded has made money.

For all the talking you do you forget to mention that to all your shareholders on Robinhood and SNL.
@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale PayPal, the only potential exception, accelerated in growth after you got kicked out.

You were fired before the IPO, before the eBay acquisition, etc.

But sure, that was all you, bro 😉

@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale I feel bad for those that actually founded @PayPal and made it into what it is today.

You famously accused @PayPal of wrongfully terminating you, but now use their success after your departure to justify your nonsense.

Which one is it Elon "Ego" Musk? 🤣
@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale @PayPal I digress. Whatever your ego needs, brother.

All of us in the know were expecting this, of course, this is far from new for you.

Those of us viewing this through the lens of ego and impulsiveness are laughing, not buying Dogecoin.

@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale @PayPal If you want to own the smartest + richest man brand then own the responsibility it carries.

You clearly know nothing about #Bitcoin or you're more egotistic than we all thought.

You've turned into the drunkest person at the party and now we all have to clean up your puke.
@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale @PayPal There aren't enough Robinhood traders to get you out of this one.

Go all-in Doge. Sell all your BTC. Do it.

Show us how truly smart and rich you are. Surely, Elon Musk isn't all talk, is he?

You'll need a lot of podcasts with joints after this one. This is embarrassing.
@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale @PayPal The fact that I'm spending my time on the phone discussing this with the likes of @michael_saylor is the only reason I'm wasting my time here. Infuriating.

You're issuing pointless debt into society. Bright minds have to stop what they're doing and fix your mess.

A true shame.
@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale @PayPal @michael_saylor Those not in it for money and ego are trying to do good work for humanity.

Get out of our way. We have important work to do.

If you want to contribute, you should open a pull request to Bitcoin Core, or help fund those that are:

@elonmusk @EmperorBTC @CryptoWhale @PayPal @michael_saylor Sorry, someone had to say it.

I don't give a fuck that you're rich or popular. I'm not scared of you. You're a selfish asshole.

Leave #Bitcoin out of your insecurities.

Humanity gains nothing from your ego.

Humanity gains everything from #Bitcoin.

I will die on this hill.

The craziest thing you've seen all day?

Watch me send $10 from the United States that lands in Ireland as EUR in less than a second and free.

@mrfelton, a pint on me! 🍻

Here is what it looked like from my phone. Too easy 😃

Sure.

Firstly, this comment:

"The important thing about Ethereum is that it is freedom. It's a platform where people can go and build things"
Well is Bitcoin then "freedom"? Is node.js "freedom"? Is RoR "freedom"? Can you elaborate on the above quote and why it's important to keep in mind? To me, that quote means absolutely nothing in an attempt to create an attractive soundbite.
Furthermore, it bothers me what that quote was in response to. @PeterMcCormack was voicing his lack of confidence in Ethereum because of the hundreds of millions (maybe now $1B+?) that has been lost due to "smart contract bugs".

1/ Running a massive set of Lightning nodes for @ln_strike has been fun and really interesting.

With Strike rapidly growing, we were seeing spikes of payment failure rates for the first time. Investigating lead us to some interesting insights 👇
2/ Leaving our nodes open to any incoming connection allowed anyone to open channels to us. Almost all of these channels were bad channels and resulted in difficulties for our nodes.

Our nodes were struggling and encountering memory spikes correlated to payment failures ImageImageImageImage
3/ So, first things first, we deployed @lightning's "Channel Acceptors" feature, allowing us to only accept incoming channels from peers we are interested in.

Secondly, we tweaked our payment probe logic to be more in line with MPP, which can return multiple HTLC attempts.

1/ Anyone relatively familiar with money management and markets should not be caught off guard by Bitcoin's recent move to the downside.

When a crisis punches you in the face, you find shelter in your winners. When cash begins to disappear, you run and grab your rainy day fund.
2/ BTC is the best-performing asset since its inception, still up 50% YoY today. It has gone from $0 to $20,000 since our last financial crisis.

For many, cash is disappearing. The world is very illiquid right now. Bitcoin's generational performance is a rainy day fund for some
3/ I'm hearing many popular (non-crypto) hedge funds are completely blown out and traders are being told to close down their positions. They need cash. This is the reason Gold is down as well.

BTC is still a tad bit too young to absorb such a global liquidity crisis without pain

I just published Announcing Strike by Zap

Our biggest product yet, built on top of Olympus.

What if you could pay a Lightning invoice with your debit card? What if your bank account could speak Bitcoin?

Welcome, @ln_strike 🚀🔥😃

Here is the view from my iPhone, screen recorded as I make a Lightning payment to @fold_app with USD
@ln_strike allows your bank account to speak Bitcoin, the QR codes you scan are entirely up to you.

You can make a payment to a service, or a payment to your own wallet and #stacksats 🚀🥳
