“The Next Mantra: Spend and Replace”, my latest article via TPBInc (nprofile…65cq).

With Bitcoin payments set to go live on more than 4 million Square merchant payment terminals next week, thanks to jack (nprofile…canx) and team, it’s time for a new mantra to take hold! ⚡️🧡

2026-03-07T19:43:46+01:00

As of early 2026, there are now more than 190 publicly-listed companies worldwide that hold Bitcoin in their treasuries, up from just 74 at the beginning of 2025. Still, this is just 0.35% of the roughly 100,000 publicly-listed companies worldwide.

There will only ever be 21,000,000 Bitcoin and 20,000,000 of those have now been mined into supply, with the remaining 1,000,000 to be mined over the next 114 years.

Each 1.0 Bitcoin is divisible into 100,000,000 smaller units (like dollars/cents) called “sats”.

What happens to the value/price of Bitcoin when the number of publicly-listed companies holding some Bitcoin (any amount) as a reserve asset increases to 1%, 2%, 5% or more. What happens when the roughly 1% of the world’s 8 billion people who currently hold some Bitcoin increases to 2%, 5%, 10% or more.

You do the math. Suffice to say, Bitcoin is a $10,000,000 (or more) asset currently on sale for $70,000.

2026-02-11T21:45:55+01:00

Fascinating discussion. The paper argues that Bitcoin is the first system where time exists as a series of discrete, irreversible energy events (blocks).

This means that Bitcoin is not just digital gold, a money and payment network, but also a foundational measurement system tying energy, entropy, time, and memory into one bounded ledger.

This podcast with preston (npub1s5y…6q7z) and myself talking with Jack and Nick, about the paper they released today is going to create some huge debates. Besides, potentially unifying physics after 95!or so years, If correct, it implies that there is exactly zero risk to a quantum attack on #Bitcoin. (Except through the typical social attack from fiat fears)

Hope you enjoy!

For those tracking #Bitcoin exchange rate with top fiat currencies, we’re now at 40% from all time $BTC high, the last difficulty adjustment was down 3.28%, and we’re about to see another ~14% adjustment down.

“Stablecoins, which merely peg themselves to these fiat currencies, inherit their structural weakness. Stablecoins are not digital islands of stability; they are tethered to melting ice cubes, losing purchasing power at precisely the same rate as the fiat currencies they shadow…

…And beyond this economic decay lies a more profound, sinister geopolitical danger: stablecoins do not merely inherit the debasement of their underlying fiat currencies—they also inherit and amplify the systems of monetary and political colonialism those currencies sustain. Whether through the U.S. dollar, the Chinese yuan, the CFA franc, or other hegemonic monetary regimes, stablecoins risk re-entrenching patterns of dependence and external control at precisely the moment when communities and nations around the world are seeking pathways to liberation and self-determination.”

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto by Eric Hughes (9 March, 1993) ...

2025-12-21T03:42:40+01:00

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto

by Eric Hughes (9 March, 1993)

Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.
Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't
want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one
doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively
reveal oneself to the world.

If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Each party can speak about their own memory of
this; how could anyone prevent it? One could pass laws against it,
but the freedom of speech, even more than privacy, is fundamental to an open society; we seek not to restrict any speech at all. If many
parties speak together in the same forum, each can speak to all the
others and aggregate together knowledge about individuals and other parties. The power of electronic communications has enabled such group speech, and it will not go away merely because we might want it to.

Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a
transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary
for that transaction. Since any information can be spoken of, we
must ensure that we reveal as little as possible. In most cases
personal identity is not salient. When I purchase a magazine at a
store and hand cash to the clerk, there is no need to know who I am.
When I ask my electronic mail provider to send and receive messages, my provider need not know to whom I am speaking or what I am saying or what others are saying to me; my provider only need know how to get the message there and how much I owe them in fees. When my
identity is revealed by the underlying mechanism of the transaction, I have no privacy. I cannot here selectively reveal myself; I must _always_ reveal myself.

Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Until now, cash has been the primary such system. An anonymous transaction system is not a secret transaction system. An anonymous system empowers individuals to reveal their identity when desired and only when desired; this is the essence of privacy.

Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. If I say
something, I want it heard only by those for whom I intend it. If
the content of my speech is available to the world, I have no
privacy. To encrypt is to indicate the desire for privacy, and to
encrypt with weak cryptography is to indicate not too much desire for
privacy. Furthermore, to reveal one's identity with assurance when
the default is anonymity requires the cryptographic signature.

We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. It is to their advantage to speak of us, and we should expect that they will speak. To try to prevent their speech is to fight against the
realities of information. Information does not just want to be free,
it longs to be free. Information expands to fill the available
storage space. Information is Rumor's younger, stronger cousin;
Information is fleeter of foot, has more eyes, knows more, and
understands less than Rumor.

We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. We must
come together and create systems which allow anonymous transactions to take place. People have been defending their own privacy for centuries with whispers, darkness, envelopes, closed doors, secret handshakes, and couriers. The technologies of the past did not allow for strong privacy, but electronic technologies do.

We the Cypherpunks are dedicated to building anonymous systems. We are defending our privacy with cryptography, with anonymous mail forwarding systems, with digital signatures, and with electronic money.

Cypherpunks write code. We know that someone has to write software to defend privacy, and since we can't get privacy unless we all do, we're going to write it. We publish our code so that our fellow Cypherpunks may practice and play with it. Our code is free for all to use, worldwide. We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down.

Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is
fundamentally a private act. The act of encryption, in fact, removes
information from the public realm. Even laws against cryptography
reach only so far as a nation's border and the arm of its violence.
Cryptography will ineluctably spread over the whole globe, and with it the anonymous transactions systems that it makes possible.

For privacy to be widespread it must be part of a social contract.
People must come and together deploy these systems for the common good. Privacy only extends so far as the cooperation of one's fellows in society. We the Cypherpunks seek your questions and your concerns and hope we may engage you so that we do not deceive ourselves. We will not, however, be moved out of our course because some may disagree with our goals.

The Cypherpunks are actively engaged in making the networks safer for privacy. Let us proceed together apace.

Onward.

My latest article is out, published via TPBInc (nprofile…fpmv). :

Fix the Money, Heal the System argues that Canada’s social, economic, political, and environmental challenges share a common root: our broken “fiat” currency and a monetary system that rewards debt, speculation, and extraction. The paper explores Bitcoin—a powerful, global monetary alternative—through a progressive and policy-focused lens. It shows how this fairer, decentralized, and transparent form of money drives inclusion, empowers workers, strengthens human rights, and supports environmental sustainability. It contends that lasting social progress must begin with monetary reform.

When money loses value through inflation and political manipulation, it leads to erosion of trust, fairness, and long-term planning. By contrast, Bitcoin offers a framework and a tool for rebuilding these foundations—linking economic value to real work, energy, and community rather than to privilege and power.

Drawing on real-world examples from Canada and around the world, the paper highlights how Bitcoin is already be used to build a better world. In doing so, it presents Bitcoin not as a speculative asset, but as a public good—and a powerful new tool for building more democratic, sustainable, and inclusive societies; one that should be confidently embraced by all progressive political parties and organizations in Canada.

2025-10-23T14:46:52+02:00

I see a lot of people posting about the “current Bitcoin bull run” and that the “bull run of this cycle is over”. IMHO, we haven’t even seen a bull run recently. The past 1.5 years has simply been a slow upward correction to make up for the impact of exchange and company explosions in 2021/2022 (FTX, Celcius et al).

This has been a healing period for Bitcoin, like physiotherapy before getting back on the playing field. At USD ~$100K to $130K the injury is healed, but the body isn’t quite game ready.

The so-called bull run begins once the exchange rate of BTC climbs above ~$130,000 USD. We’re getting there. The bull is sharpening its horns. Patience.

I believe that past cycle models and prognostications will ultimately prove ephemeral.

In “The Invisible Health Tax: How Our Money Impacts Health and Why Sound Money Could Transform Well-Being – An Exploratory Examination”, available at https://www.medschlr.org/publication/d/the-invisible-health-tax-how-our-money-impacts-health-and-why-sound-money-could-transform-well-being-an-exploratory-examination, Emma argues that we need to go further upstream and fix the money and our social platforms in order to improve individual, family and community health.

Emma strongly positions #Bitcoin and #Nostr as keys to our brighter, healthier future.

Bitcoin over Gold: An Ethical, Ideological, and Strategic Case

Except: “In an era of growing authoritarianism and geopolitical instability, gold has become the favored reserve of regimes that seek control, opacity, and self-protection from accountability. Bitcoin, by contrast, embodies an open-source, decentralized, and censorship-resistant system that aligns with property rights, civil liberties, human rights, and free markets.”

2025-10-10T03:03:03+02:00

I don’t own any real or paper gold. I’m more convinced than ever that I don’t want any. I’ll leave that for people who are ready to resign themselves to the so called “debasement trade” or, as I prefer to call it, the despair and cynicism trade.

Instead, I choose #Bitcoin #BTC. Bitcoin is the hope, optimism, and structural change trade. Others have called it the “purification trade”. Sure, I can get with that.

The move to gold is a cynical retreat from our world’s most pressing challenges. It is a giant middle finger to billions of people around the world for whom gold is an untenable asset due to security and access barriers, and its lack of portability in the face of major geopolitical uncertainty. This gold “debasement trade” is also a giant middle finger to younger generations left to reconcile the debts and downstream impacts of their predecessors. Gold will not and cannot provide these younger people the tools for renewal and rebuilding that are so urgently needed.

On the other hand, Bitcoin offers the opportunity not only to escape the impact of fiat currency debasement, but to also restructure social engagements, reformulate the incentives that drive political discourse, and build across borders and other arbitrary barriers. Bitcoin offers Gen Z and Gen Alpha not only affirmation that yes, our current economic and financial systems are fucked, but also a roadmap and tool for rebuilding.

What an ounce of gold will scarcely or never do for youth in a deprived community setting, Bitcoin can and will do.

2025-09-06T14:15:09+02:00

Excellent article by Christian Catalini. I believe that Tempo will ultimately fail, despite the massive amount of PR/marketing capital that Stripe can deploy.

Bitcoin has been firmly established as the FTP of value exchange / money over the Internet. Layer 2 and 3 solutions (Lightning, Ark, Lightspark et al) are already scaling over the bedrock of Bitcoin as the Layer 1 blockchain. More L2s and L3s will emerge. Interoperability, layering, and competition among these layer 2 and 3 solutions is the crucible for excellence and global scaling.

I believe that the critical blind spot for Stripe and other crypto payment tokens is that they are biased by their primary (almost exclusive) base in large capital markets AND the built in limitations of centrally-controlled deployment strategies.

What Stripe and crypto token leaders do not grasp is that while they were in their corporate strategy rooms and labs concocting plans, the Bitcoin base layer was achieving escape velocity as the global base protocol (ie, the FTP). They also missed that layer 2 and 3 solutions were already being introduced and stress tested in many places far out of sight from Silicon Valley strategy rooms: in the markets and on the streets of Africa and Latin America; among diverse networks of human rights activists and others circumnavigating capital controls and censorship; and, at the desks of small business owners and other entrepreneurs insightful enough to see niche, early-mover opportunities presented by Bitcoin (what petermccormack (nprofile…9yte) coined as the Bitcoin “cheat code”).

Ultimately, what enabled and will continue to cement the role of Bitcoin as the base protocol — the layer 1 blockchain — for digital payments is the fact that it is open-source, decentralized, and globally distributed.

My prediction: within the next few years the ghost of Libra will have a fresh companion in the ghost of Tempo.

That’s a very good question. For me, the answer is “no”, however, I think we must resist it being seen and treated exclusively as a store of value. The SoV use is an important but only partial aspect of Bitcoin.

2025-08-07T16:40:55+02:00

Just listened to Pete Rizzo’s interview with Michael Terpin: https://x.com/supplyshockbw/status/1953226635081036132?s=46&t=wq0GoOCdXxA5DblxlsJJng

While it was excellent overall, there was one thing that I want to respectfully push back on. In discussing Bitcoin and/vs crypto, Michael notes that he looks at Bitcoin as "store of value" and the rest of crypto as "innovation". I feel very strongly that this is a narrative that is not only mistaken but against which we must push back (again, all respect to Michael).

I ask: innovation toward/for what? When I look out at the vast landscape of crypto, what I see is a network of projects guided by technological determinism and engineering masturbation. Projects that extol the virtue of innovation but offer up self-referential loops of engineering gymnastics garnished with flourishes of Web3, DeFi, Blockchain (all rhetorical devices).

So what is innovation? Well, I believe that it is something that moves us -- humanity -- into a new stage of development, of growth. One can argue over the etymology of the term "innovation" (see etymonline.com/word/innovation), however, I believe strongly that the restoration and renewal to which it speaks is a profoundly humanistic one, focused on virtue and evolution.

In its beautiful simplicity and what it offers us -- the ability to communicate truth, trust, value and meaning across time, space and culture (h/t to 21mmforthe21st (nprofile…2k5u) and thetrocro (nprofile…aku5)) -- Bitcoin exudes innovation. It enables and ushers us into renewal, restoration, growth, and evolution across multiple domains of existence.

The manifest distinction between the self-referential, technological determinism of "crypto = innovation" and "Bitcoin = innovation" is that the latter ultimately makes human action and relationships the locus of activity. We are not anticipating salvation and surrendering ourselves to the tool, we are employing the tool (whether consciously or not in all instances) as a tool for human renewal and growth. We are re-ordering and re-constructing the architecture of human relationships. We are re-fashioning how we "communicate truth, trust, value and meaning across time, space and culture".

As far as what this looks like, well, I see it play out in multiple domains. It is evident in opportunity afforded mothers in Kenya participating in bitcoinbabies (nprofile…7r0x) who employ Bitcoin as means to re-claim their rightful, virtuous place within community and to restore and empower community in the process. I see it play out in the growth of children participating in bitcoinekasi (nprofile…dtyh) who are moving toward an increased expression of their human potential against the heavy weight of oppressions that time and history have assigned to them at birth. I see it in the almost unimaginable spark of self-determination that is being realized in high Andes Mountain communities through Motiv (nprofile…r5wk)'S work. And so on, and so forth across community-based projects and human rights cases harnessing Bitcoin.

Those of us privileged to live in Canada, the U.S. and other more affluent countries can also witness the innovation of Bitcoin is the unprecedented potential it offers many individuals and groups to climb the hierarchy of needs against the headwinds of social distress either caused by or exacerbated by debt-money. For instance, the opportunity afforded a GenZ-er to realistically plan for the sorts of life goals/goods (home ownership, financially sustainable family life) that were once simply taken for granted by most. In this respect, one can argue that "store of value = innovation".

I don't want to get bogged down in semantics nor over-extend this analysis. What I do want to get across is that we must actively resist the Siren call of crypto as innovation. Yes, the "Bitcoin is digital gold" analogy is useful and has some applications...but it only scratches the surface and is utterly inadequate at capturing the many overlapping circles of innovation that Bitcoin achieves or births.

Bitcoin is a store of value. Bitcoin is a medium of exchange. Bitcoin is a unit of account. Bitcoin is a network. Bitcoin is a protocol. Bitcoin is a map and the territory. Bitcoin is innovation and gives rise to innovation.

Let us not neglect the staggering beauty of this exquisite phenomenon. Let us not surrender the human story and evolution which Bitcoin exalts. Let us not relinquish the rightful claim to innovation which is Bitcoin and is set forth through Bitcoin. 🙏🧡

Federal spending is up. So there is a pretty big focus on generating new revenue to pay for it.

Most analysis so far shows that tariffs are being paid primarily by U.S. consumers and U.S. businesses. The foreign share (in the form of price cuts) is pretty low.

One of the impressive things about Trump is that he managed to convince a nontrivial percentage of conservatives to cheer for higher spending and new taxes to pay for it.

2025-07-27T17:25:10+02:00

With all due respect to any OG Bitcoiner who may be selling Bitcoin due to disenchantment, I would humbly say that this is a lack of focus and perspective.

Every day, I have the honour via FBCE (nprofile…rc5g) of connecting with local projects around the world that are living out the vision of “peer-to-peer electronic cash”. Freedom money. 100 sats here, 1000 sats there. A local barber, taxi driver, cattle rancher, or corner store on-boarded to Bitcoin. A group of children receiving and then spending sats as reward for their participation in an educational program. A mother saving sats for her child’s future schooling costs.

On and on, far away from the boardrooms of Wall Street, the original vision for Bitcoin is very much alive, thriving and growing through local Bitcoin circular economy projects.

So, to anyone lamenting the entry of large financial institutions to the Bitcoin ecosystem and the #hodl only mentality, I respectfully say: you’re not looking in the right places. Tune into circular economies and the #spedn vibe.

Take a step back, look at and support local Bitcoin circular economy projects. You can find them all listed on fbce.io and you can find how to donate to them (multiple options) via our partner website at bitcoinconfederation.org/explore.

If the entry of large institutions to Bitcoin frustrates you, if you feel that the soul of Bitcoin is in jeopardy, help the amazing people on the ground in communities around the world who are bringing the Bitcoin white paper to life every single day. Please follow and support FBCE (nprofile…rc5g) to help us bring Bitcoin circular economies to scale over the months and years ahead.

Hubris (a short story) In the year 2029, the global economy ...

2025-07-16T23:03:12+02:00

Hubris (a short story)

In the year 2029, the global economy trembled—not from war or pandemic, but from a quiet revolution that had been gathering beneath the surface like tectonic pressure.

The story began a decade earlier. @Microsoft, @Apple, @Google, and the other titans of Silicon Valley were basking in record profits. Their balance sheets overflowed with trillions in cash and equivalents, most of it parked in U.S. Treasury bonds—low-yield, “safe,” and endorsed by decades of convention. CFOs nodded confidently at board meetings. Risk was for startups. Stability was strategy.

But a storm was building, and they refused to look up.

In a small but growing corner of the global economy, something different was taking root: Bitcoin. While the tech elite dismissed it as volatile, slow, or worse — a haven for libertarians and groups trying to go around institutions — it kept humming along, block by block.

@MicroStrategy, a company dismissed as a curious footnote on @CNBC, quietly continued converting its balance sheet into Bitcoin. Others followed, slowly, and then into a growing wave. Sovereigns too: El Salvador, Bhutan, then Brazil, Czech Republic, and more. A parallel system was forming, one that operated beyond borders, beyond central banks, and beyond the cautious worldview of the titans of corporate America.

By 2027, inflation had returned—not the kind central bankers claimed to control, but the kind that eroded real wages and made corporate bonds unattractive. U.S. debt spiraled as interest payments surpassed defense spending. Apple’s $200 billion in cash began to shrink—not in numbers, but in purchasing power. They were rich, yes. But so was Rome, once.

Still, they didn’t move.

Why risk headlines for a speculative asset? Why anger investors stuck in the modalities of the past, those convinced by Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett and other investing giants of the past that this Bitcoin thing was a speculative fad? Why rock the boat when the tide had always lifted them?

Because tides change.

When the dollar crisis hit in 2029, it wasn’t sudden. But the consequences were. Treasury yields spiked. Foreign investors and stable-coin companies dumped U.S. debt. The Fed, cornered, scaled up its money printing. The world finally noticed that the emperor’s currency had no clothes.

Meanwhile, Strategy’s balance sheet exploded in value, as did those of other corporations that joined the early wave of Bitcoin Treasury Companies. Once small-cap and mid-cap firms, these companies now dwarfed the giants of the past. Countries lined up to mine, secure, and settle in #Bitcoin $BTC. A new monetary standard emerged—not by decree, but by demand.

At an emergency summit in Davos, the CEOs of the world’s largest firms gathered in panic. Microsoft’s CFO whispered, “We should have bought Bitcoin back when it was under $100K.” Apple’s board, once lauded for its caution, found itself questioned by shareholders who watched their cash erode in real time.

The corporations that once shaped the world had missed the future by clinging to the past.

It wasn’t lack of information. It wasn’t bad luck. It was hubris.

And hubris, history reminds us, is always punished in the end.

2025-07-04T16:53:10+02:00

Reflecting on an inspiring experience from this morning. On my run down by Lake Ontario, there is an indigenous encampment drawing attention to consequences of Bill C-5 (One Canadian Economy Act) and a variety of outstanding Treaty issues.

I said hello and thanked them for the beautiful smell of sage that was filling the air, after which an Elder invited me over to smudge. Grateful for the gift, we began speaking about different issues pertaining to their grievances (very legitimate, centuries old grievances).

It opened an opportunity to speak to the Elder and a couple of others about Bitcoin and the potential for economic sovereignty (and by extension, other forms of sovereignty). I told them about the work my colleagues Suman Kumar and coachemma (npub1zvu…w2ya) are doing to nurture dialogue and learning about Bitcoin with Cree community members in the province of Quebec.

The beautiful thing: they got it. The concepts resonated. They were interested to learn more. I’ll be going back to speak with them again and to share some resources.

It reminded me that a myriad of groups, communities, nations stand to benefit from the opportunity Bitcoin presents to (figuratively) bulldoze gates, fences, and enforcers that prevent them from achieving autonomy and sovereignty.
