You must have done your survey at a bitcoin conference!&#34;<br/><br/>We were also surprised. But results are results.<br/><br/>The internet doubted us last year when we saw that bitcoiners were all over the political map, and extreme liberals were well represented among owners. <br/><br/>Many other surveys have since vindicated what we found: in politics and in many other ways, American bitcoiners look much like America itself. We are confident that our results this year will also hold up in future polling.<br/><br/>Here&#39;s how we collected our sample and here&#39;s the precise prompt that led to our result.<br/><br/>1. Data. <br/><br/>Our survey consisted of national sample of 3,345 respondents recruited in partnership with Qualtrics, a survey and data collection company.<br/><br/>No sample is perfectly random. This was conducted online and participants were paid. But, we asked Qualtrics to match US Census distribution in terms of age, genders, race, income, education, geography, etc., as closely as possible. As you will see in the full report, we approximated the US population pretty well. <br/><br/>Many of our results very closely tracked last year&#39;s results in ways that confirmed the quality of our sample. The sample did not show unexpectedly high rates of bitcoin ownership (more in the report) or high rates of bitcoin sentiment (more in the report).<br/><br/>2. Timing. <br/><br/>We opened the survey at the end of February and ended data collection mid-March.<br/><br/>3. The prompt. <br/><br/>&#34;Assuming the United States was thinking of converting some of their gold reserve into Bitcoin, what percentage would you advise they convert?&#34; <br/><br/>Respondents were provided a slider used to choose between 0% and 100%.<br/><br/>4. Related question. <br/><br/>We also asked, in the wake of Trump&#39;s tweet on March 2, just as our data collection was getting underway, whether people approved of the formation of the Strategic Crypto Reserve (the 3/6 SBR Executive order had not yet been issued). We got a less enthusiastic response to that proposal: 66% of respondents were neutral-to-positive.<br/><br/>5. Framing. <br/><br/>We suspect framing effects are powerful here given how novel the idea of a reserve is. There are many ways of asking similar questions, some of which will elicit more positive, and some more negative responses. Such is the nature of surveys. But the fact remains: when given a slider and asked to advise the US government on the right proportion of bitcoin and gold, subjects were very reluctant to put that slider on 0% bitcoin and 100% gold. Instead, they settled around 10% bitcoin. Make of that what you will.<br/><br/>6. Average. <br/><br/>The median bitcoin conversion recommendation was 10%, but the mean was actually 20.3%. That sounds even more pro-bitcoin, and even more outlandish. But that was also the actual result.<br/><br/>7. Age.<br/><br/>As you can see from the graphic, the recommended proportions of bitcoin drops significantly with age. Not surprising to us, given the inverse relationship we found last year between age and bitcoin ownership/sentiment.<br/><br/>8. Gender.<br/><br/>Women recommend smaller bitcoin allocations than men, also in keeping with previous findings. However, older men (60+) were the most likely to recommend all gold, whereas older women were more leery of 100% gold exposure. So, men were more extreme in their recommendations at both the high and the low end.<br/><br/>9. The report. <br/><br/>It&#39;s a really rich data set, as we asked a comprehensive panel of questions, just like last year. I could go on with politics, race, and other factors related to just this question. But this thread is a preview. The full report is coming as fast as we can produce it.<br/><br/>Thanks for your skepticism--we welcome it, always!--and your patience in reading this long post.<br/><br/>Bottom line is that 4 in 5 of the people we surveyed recommended that the US diversify some of its gold reserves into bitcoin. <br/><br/>An amazing stat, we think! It&#39;s very different from the consensus in DC and apparently different from the nostr consensus too.

Collectively, they determine how much that latest round of auctioned bitcoin is worth, in hashes and/or in energy. <br/><br/>Then there’s another market on top of this one which is coincidental but distinct, and that’s the market for block space, where the sellers are individual miners and the buyers are would-be transactors and of course that’s sat/vbyte.<br/><br/>I really do think it’s more accurate than thinking of bitcoin miners as “producing” bitcoin the way a manufacturer produces a product like cars or even discovered like gold miners discover gold. The bitcoin, all 21 million exist, just not on the ledger, from the get go. They only need to be auctioned, like treasuries. We don’t think the bidders on treasuries produce the 10-year! It’s just a weird auction mechanism where you have to prove work and your odds of winning the auction are proportional to your work / the total work by bidders.<br/><br/>I do get it and I think it’s right and I think it helps with a lot of misconceptions once you grok it fully. And as Dhruv says it shows you the formula for how bitcoin disrupts everything which is by making markets where there weren’t any, and building layers of distinct markets, including lighting and eventually the internet.<br/><br/>So, good job Dhruv.<br/><br/>But… it is not so easy to communicate is it? This thing is bloody hard to explain, as someone said once.<br/><br/> 2025-02-10T07:50:10Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdralev72y4cmvwzxdr0ny795fjp6sp0nee5acqlehz6zjka3qlyqzyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nupgur9l In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfat2203ms63dh9wv7rnjnyeu3kl405v54pplvxm8thh6wd9wls9cpzemhxw309ucnjv3wxymrst338qhrww3hxumnwwc0r4m'>nevent1q…0r4m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I got 3 copies but haven’t had the time to crack em open yet! 2025-02-10T03:59:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswxz94k4t7q2w8x65pa4zp80trhtt53z2m4kchnw340vg472dpc5szyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nu20ewj7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqxrdvvza2g4p0cgxkx0svk799d00j6r90y4ldh5kpcysalapa4lspz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wc5ypg4m'>nevent1q…pg4m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah this but arranged by Kempff <a href="https://imslp.org/wiki/Wachet_auf,_ruft_uns_die_Stimme,_BWV_140_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)">https://imslp.org/wiki/Wachet_auf,_ruft_uns_die_Stimme,_BWV_140_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)</a> 2025-02-07T00:23:41Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsxthq52wxde3qzuhr02w5uqclr6sgagh8jxh67wufrk5a685xw0mgzyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nuc7mk2p Let’s get the former Mayor of Caracas a sizable following on here, yeah?<br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/note1qdy4rm5jxz7mndmfkcnwdsvn4t2hr70d2mj6fhxcfum8k939cxgs3d0kxv" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">note1qdy…0kxv</a></span> </div> I’m Leopoldo Lopez from Venezuela, joined Nostr a couple of months ago but lost my private key, standing next to Odell, I’m here to bring Nostr to freedom fighters in Venezuela and around the world. </blockquote> 2025-02-06T22:37:01Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs295wgg8dv3vpmhuw652t0m0zjtuuq8pp8qhkaxdxwyedfepazxpszyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nufulrkp In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqxk7ajshppf40uq4kce50wjgyv35xr6eru2zrgr8hm923wg0qr6qpzemhxw309ucnjv3wxymrst338qhrww3hxumnwrcrpjc'>nevent1q…rpjc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well said 2025-02-06T22:35:21Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0zfax2ydmr7zyzfrd7d6qmftturpvdrfcjtzg4xekhu36rv3mcjgzyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nu3sv3v3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxckkg7uqx7prxm5tnascw3n2ggpd0wuc7pltfqmefhvlz65j9wvgpz4mhxue69uhk5atw0p5kuemhv9hxwtn0wfns2kvyhk'>nevent1q…vyhk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Welcome to my world 2025-02-06T14:42:48Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqswrdtfxtntw9qpq45ryk3q5te8w3nregxqlzygplyk6mrzpav9hmgzyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nu6yazw5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswgljdjtg88qaqmq6ylcgxxrwt6kc9p7cgpz9esrhm69tmplk4sjqpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wsrge4s4'>nevent1q…e4s4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Extremely difficult habit to kick.

But what you download won’t be subject to that tariff (unless we surveil you heavily) because there’s no customs at a border.<br/><br/>Likewise, tariffs plus immigration restrictions means you can’t outsource production to cheaper labor markets and you can’t import the labor either. But… you can pay someone for their labor while they remain overseas, by streaming them sats.<br/><br/>So something will give. Either we’ll get draconian surveillance and control of the digital domain or accelerated virtualization as we can achieve efficiencies there from free trade and cheap labor that are not available in the physical domain.<br/><br/> 2025-02-02T19:10:26Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqst359stjl3xlqlz62e038899afssjrglhsdj3mec5jlefxeeaquzszyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nuam8qm7 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstdmmrx0jt8qmwaqsayfjcnmg0ucyesqayrf847dyyrzm8l7wpv9spr3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytneda6kcmm59ehhyecqayzms'>nevent1q…yzms</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>🤣🤣🤣 2025-02-02T08:53:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgn5p7l0mkhefruymfx8kc7hegyk03zsl6sqyhvvkzhx57e6zqhkszyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nu4c7rfx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9srpw9c77p4tpx466xlspmqwv0h7ecqu0fv9kujcvkxq66hgl4hqpz4mhxue69uhk5atw0p5kuemhv9hxwtn0wfns5epcrv'>nevent1q…pcrv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Have never played but listened to a lot of 2025-02-01T16:39:07Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs93ap7h4079hhp35zwmmcu7w0um5fselzv7p2u2npdsh50uzxluqszyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nukpfefg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq76vyc5t3vrw86ve6cry7wdvfyh7zppz5f3nspfyqe5lg35gn3cspremhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtmvv9hxwtm9dc0twhpf'>nevent1q…whpf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think so 2025-02-01T16:38:43Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstv55835l4lzjt6vytcye5vw25m3frruk849720pnvm4na285984czyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nuluv6at In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgffelazu85eykxcepnyyjeszr8um4e4wwcm6ytdn98r0m2fgxs6cppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d52vjlyj'>nevent1q…jlyj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Wild 2025-02-01T16:37:00Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvzfmu94d3wygt4gjx0c7s0kppl2zlj9950e6qdlwxeexje684l6qzyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nuhg43r0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrk8ajlaak8h0zxehl20n5uz6n7s0hghvfjkd6535vwct52pg2khgpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mq09g9yn'>nevent1q…g9yn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>🤣🤣🤣 2025-02-01T16:32:45Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9tq3yw2njz9spmc7wnfpfjwtcmnnyufrxm70hfyp5avaqzh6j0uqzyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nuhskckw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsw5vl7vmtdrexuw45jpwt0kgm4y3afts8kfhne8rnyc8mgpp9pj8qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgdn228m'>nevent1q…228m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>“You decide which system you give your energy to.” 2025-02-01T07:29:20Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw5vl7vmtdrexuw45jpwt0kgm4y3afts8kfhne8rnyc8mgpp9pj8qzyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nulmf8x2 I can’t quite tear myself away from X, but I also can’t get that <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Jeff Booth</span> (<span class="italic">npub1s05…eyhe</span>)</a></span> voice out of my head. 2025-02-01T07:16:57Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrt206zndwqf346um3gxzynn9hgfm7cqg8rtx76q3al5ck9dhar4czyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4numdy0x4 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs95cgrc0yfhdlse7k5rk74c7m28006zhk6jpsfm5yca5xwqer3lpcppamhxue69uhkztnwdaejumr0ds0umpqw'>nevent1q…mpqw</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I do too.

I’ve seen this number as low as 2.5% and as high as 20%. <br/><br/>Why is that important: <br/><br/>Although everyone wants to see themselves as one of the honest, the math says that between 80 - 97.5% of people will cheat depending on the rewards. Now enter money - the ultimate pot of gold with high rewards and low punishment for cheating because people don’t understand it. Most people will cheat - a mirror of the world we see and have seen in Bitcoin since its inception. Need inflation, bad for environment, drug money, doesn’t scale, crypto, meme coins - the list will go on and on because if people can “get rich at someone else’s expense - most will. Those are simply the numbers and always have been. <br/><br/>In fact, in prior periods of history, the honest were at a massive disadvantage because and would often be killed by the cheaters. Because the integrity was so rare, society would often celebrate these people after their deaths as lessons of what we wanted our higher selves to look like. <br/><br/>#bitcoin has changed the equation. Giving those with integrity the power. Why: because 2.5 - 20% of people that won’t cheat is a massive number - especially if many of those people are decentralized and can’t be “found”. Those are the people who eventually run nodes, contribute their time and energy to keeping #bitcoin decentralized and secure, watch for attack vectors, build value on top of this protocol, call out the cheaters, teach and advocate to help others see it. Those people simply can’t be bought, and more are joining every day.<br/><br/><br/>That decentralized and secure protocol bounded by energy is repricing everyone and everything from the other system and it will continue to do so as that system tries to grapple with: the cheaters no longer make the rules. <br/><br/>It will be chaotic, many more will try to cheat (don’t be afraid to slay your heroes) but in the end…..Satoshi unlocked a way to put the best of us into a protocol that was best for all of us. <br/><br/><br/>What a time to be alive. <img src="https://image.nostr.build/03aaa37fc3dbe07ead70a15aee0182f9d89ed09f78cafaabe80a71f7b85a2196.jpg"> </blockquote> 2025-01-26T16:28:14Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdqycxz8vqd54xc7yauz6es8wpa8reerw35d5rkatl5ylp6sq6klszyzwxztutwu8su07ntndv90zhlnhg2c09vpgyagju3w00lrsr2y4nuuesd4r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszm7trcck76kmzzth95cxtjxzngut8un7m562j3d82nxc2manhtespzemhxue69uhky6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skce5x503'>nevent1q…x503</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Love it.
