Next Thursday I will be hosting a first WBD Live in Nashville with @PrestonPysh and @MartyBent.

50 tickets are available at $75 each.

Why charge? At my previous free events, half the people don't turn up. The ticket fee covers the venue, food and beer.

eventbrite.co.uk/e/what-bitcoin…
Note that any profits that remain will be put behind the bar for anyone who wants to stay out drinking else it will be donated to open source dev.
This is a test to see if there is an appetite for these live events. If there is then I'll do more in the future.
Anyway, come along, I'll be interviewing Marty and Preston regarding a range of #bitcoin topics, likely the macro environment and mining hot on the agenda.

There will also be a Q&A for anyone who has questions.
If we don't sell any tickets this will be embarrassing and I'll just get super drunk with Preston and Marty.

Debating toxicity has people talking past each other.

1. There is toxic behaviour which accepts no bullshit from nefarious actors who may attack #bitcoin.

2. There is a small group who have taken this to harass people across all manner of societal and political issues.
I imagine many of those concerned with toxicity have an issue with (2) and are fine with (1).

I imagine those defending toxicity are defending (1) may also not agree with (2).

There is a small group of morons who think by doing (2) they are helping (1).
I think a lot of this comes from 2017 PTSD. I was new and didn’t understand the issues fully.

There were people such as @BitcoinErrorLog, @adam3us, @eric_lombrozo and many others who stood firm.

Their arguments rational and blunt. They do not harass people.

1/ The Crypto war is over, perhaps it is time to rethink our models.

#bitcoin has won the war for sound money v forks/protocols.

There are now two wars that remain:
- #bitcoin v central banking
- Crypto protocol v crypto protocol
2/ The war for money was won because of a fixed monetary policy, network effects and decentralisation.

#bitcoin forks failed to create a network effect and smart contract platforms failed on decentralisation.

This is good for everyone.
3/ Arguing #bitcoin v smart contract platform is like arguing tanks v boats.

The crypto war is over, everyone needs sound money and #bitcoin won this.

For #bitcoin v central banking, everyone has a vested interest in #bitcoin winning this war.

Massive thanks to all the ETH devs working on what is a #bitcoin test-net.

Everything you build which makes sense will end up on #bitcoin.

You can’t play real poker with matchsticks so your sacrifice is appreciated.
Etherians will be triggered while ignoring economic and technical facts, but if they understood the facts they could hedge their investment.

I don’t hate Ethereum, I actually think it’s, in parts, a very cool project but ultimately it is fucked.
There are zero scenarios where a country makes Ethereum a reserve currency and it has zero chance of becoming the native currency of the Internet. For both technical and economic reasons.

Bitcoin, largely over the Lightening Network is already light years ahead.

*Breaking*

John McAfee found dead in his prison cell, this after Spanish courts agreed to extradite him.
Awaiting some kind of official confirmation but multiple sources are breaking this.
This source is claiming he took his own life.

OFAC blocks and energy FUD driven by rich bitcoiners feels like Segwit2x all over again.

Closed-door meetings and new holders working against the best interest of #bitcoin to drive their own agenda is dangerous.

Eat shit @elonmusk
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.
