Will probably regret this Tweet, still, please continue to send the daily hate. Anyway:
- I donated #bitcoin to brink open source dev
- I donated #bitcoin to CoinCenter
- I donated #bitcoin to Julian Assange's fund
- I paid towards @peterktodd's OpenTimeStamps project
- I sponsor London BitDevs
- I paid for Tor Nodes
- I donate towards other podcasts
- I went to Venezuela to make a film about Bitcoin (including going into the slums)
- I have been coming to El Salvador for nearly two years (I think I was the first to visit Bitcoin Beach)
- I have travelled to around 40 countries to promote #Bitcoin
- I have released 360 podcasts (almost entirely dedicated to #bitcoin)
- I answer every email sent to me
- I try and answer most DMs (though hard)
- I attend and support #bitcoin conferences
- I only hold #bitcoin
- My podcast is open to all, devs, plebs, investors etc...
- I work hard to get the interviews which don't normally happen
- I have given jobs to #bitcoin people
- I am completely transparent about my income
- I donated to the Bitcoin car
There is probably more but still. I am a bitcoiner and I have put the work in.
I might not be the smartest but I am honest about this and do my best to help support #bitcoin.
Oh, and I am being sued by Craig Wright because I took him on (not for marketing because I tried to deflect from Hodlonaut).
Just so you know, I am in debt £500k to my lawyers and have had to sign my house over.
Spook, fuck off!
What about you? What are you doing? Shouting at people all day, good work.
You can spend all day giving me shit, I am not changing. I will keep doing exactly what I have been doing.
I am a bitcoiner!

Everyone up in my comments crying because we should be nice to Elon needs to do their history homework.
If you have your money in #bitcoin you need to care about this. If you are a short-term trader desperate to make money, I am sorry but this isn't about you.
1/ If you are angry with the #bitcoin and/or "crypto" dump, stop looking for someone to blame.
If you traded a highly volatile market with leverage and were stopped out, that is your fault.
If you overextended yourself and are underwater, that is your fault.
2/ The #bitcoin people I know always recommend the same:
- Don't invest what you can't afford to lose
- Have a multi-year timeframe
- Trading is hard and risky
- Consider DCA
- Leverage is dangerous
- Shitcoins are also risky
Buy spot and hold securely is the best advice.
3/ #bitcoin is an attempt to destroy the power of the cancer of central banks. It is attacked constantly:
- Weak journalists
- Regulatory actions
- Disinformation from morons
- Bitterness from those who didn't buy
1/ Dear @elonmusk. The perfect troll is one where people don't know whether it is a troll or not. Your recent poorly informed criticism of #bicoin + support for Doge may be the perfect troll...or you might actually believe this (God I hope not).
2/ Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant right now, the implications are in play, and there are two specific ones I want to discuss:
a) Doge investors will get rekt
b) You are increasing the workload of Bitcoiners
I am not the smartest bitcoiner but I will do my best.
3/ Doge is a meme, a joke, it has no real developers and long-term serves little purpose beyond coin-flipping.
The blocksize debate is over. Bitcoin is the only meaningfully decentralised cryptocurrency serving to solve problems caused by central banking.
2/ Let's start with your subtitle "This is virtual money with a real carbon footprint."
#bitcoin isn't virtual money, money in computer games is virtual. #bitcoin is as much money as dollar bills, gold or cigarettes in prison.
3/ This pejorative use of "virtual money" implies it has less meaning that other forms of money. This is obviously false to those people who save or transact in #bitcoin.
I have just listened to your podcast for the @guardian regarding #bitcoin. You open by saying you first wrote about #bitcoin seven years ago yet you keep recycling false narratives.
2/ Would you like to do a follow up where someone who understands #bitcoin can respond to your criticism?
I assume as a responsible journalist your goal is to ensure you keep to the code of practice of ethical journalism, including "Accuracy and standards for factual reporting"
3/ I operate a popular #bitcoin podcast and would be able to assemble the right candidates to help you with this.
The result would be that you could release a new podcast for your listeners which is balanced and fair.
I've just read Andrew's interview regarding #Bitcoin for @thisismoney, where he says digital currencies will fail as businesses, consumers and regulators look for digital currencies which are "stable, safe and well-designed."
2/ I think Andrew does not understand why #bitcoin is so successful.
Firstly #bitcoin is stable, safe and well designed.
The best part is the design of its monetary policy, a design which is a response to the policies of central banks such as the @bankofengland.
3/ Let's look at your Twitter profile as a reference point, where you state you work to ensure:
- Low inflation
- A stable financial system
The reason people like I hold #bitcoin is that low inflation is not enough, with #bitcoin we are targeting no inflation.
