✨ Exactly 11 years ago today, infamous dark market Silk Road held "The Great 4/20 Sale and Giveaway."

50,000 #Bitcoin worth $1.4 BILLION was stolen. Even crazier, the crook kept the money AND the drugs.

Buckle up 🧵 Image
Famed as "The Underground Website Where You Can Buy Any Drug Imaginable," Silk Road was responsible for bringing #Bitcoin into the mainstream.

You could buy and trade virtually anything on the website, and all trade was conducted in $BTC.
Accessible only by TOR, Silk Road was a marketplace where reputation mattered, and almost no one had a better reputation than a dealer named Tony76.

He sold heroin, stimulants, and psychedelics, and for a while, his customers were very satisfied.

✨ 14 facts about Satoshi Nakamoto's #Bitcoin White Paper on its 14th anniversary

A thread 🧵
1/ Coming in at 2,736 words, the #Bitcoin white paper is shorter than the Magna Carta (3,550 words), the U.S. Constitution (4,543 words) and the most recent U.S. Infrastructure Bill (2,700 pages)

The average book is 70,000 to 120,000 words.
2/ The #Bitcoin white paper generated a LOT of discussion when published.

Moderators of the cypherpunk mailing list would even later intervene, telling Satoshi to take his ideas and incessant talk elsewhere.

🚨 This week marks the start of my 9th YEAR working full-time in #Bitcoin.

I've been a journalist, led at multiple companies, and I've spent thousands of hours down the rabbit hole.

Here’s a few things I’ve learned along the way 🧵
1/ NUMBER GO UP, NUMBER GO DOWN

Everyone wants to talk about how easy it is to HODL. It’s not. The quickest way out of Bitcoin is to invest more than you can afford to lose.

There will always be someone, somewhere with more #Bitcoin than you. Have patience.
2/ BE HERE TO LEARN

#Bitcoin is an economic experiment unlike anything in human history. That means we're all learning as we go.

Contribute to that learning. There are many unanswered questions if you take the time to look.

In honor of the 13th anniversary of the #Bitcoin Genesis Block…

A quick thread on misconceptions about its launch 🧵
1/ THE BLOCK REWARD FOR THE GENESIS BLOCK IS UNSPENDABLE

Every time a #Bitcoin block is found, new bitcoins are issued to the winning miner. This was not the case with the Genesis Block. Satoshi made this reward (50 BTC) unspendable.
2/ THE GENESIS BLOCK DIDN’T HAVE A REWARD

Most block explorers say the Genesis block created 50 BTC, but these aren’t included in the blockchain.

It’s more accurate to say the Genesis Block created all the 21 million #bitcoin now being released in blocks.
