Feeling proud to have completed my first aquathlon, representing @Bitcoin Runners and freedom tech, while travelling on Jeju Island, South Korea 🇰🇷 The event featured a 1 km pool swim, followed by 10 km on the track (25 laps). Finishers were rewarded with boiled eggs and noodles, a perfectly Korean post-race proof-of-work treat. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly, and the event was exceptionally well organised by local triathlon legends. A great experience all round. #RunStr #Swimstr #Aquathlon

Four years have passed since Bank of England warned that Bitcoin could become ‘worthless’. "Simple game theory tells us that a process of backward induction should, really, at some point, induce the smart money to get out. And were that to happen, investors really should be prepared to lose everything. Eventually.” Since that warning, Bitcoin has doubled against the pound. Reality tells a different story; it’s sterling that’s becoming worthless!

Bitcoin protocol engineering is a risky, lonely, and often thankless occupation. Kudos to every developer laying the foundations of a network that gives every human the opportunity to be self-sovereign in the digital age 👏 image
