Fiat standard started in 1971 - 53 years ago. Most people alive never experienced the pseudo gold standard of the pre-1971 era. And noone alive experienced true sound money. Yet many fiat folks stubbornly talk about the intrinsic value and speculative nature of #bitcoin. Funny.

Could Gary be Satoshi? 🤔 Imagine that... Protecting "his child" for all that time from potential ETF centralization. Kind of like Snape/Potter relationship. Compared to PoS coins, ETF for PoW based #bitcoin has much more limited centralizing potential. https://bitcoinnews.com/gary-gensler-bitcoin-etf-satoshi/#:~:text=SEC%20Chairman%20Gary%20Gensler%20acknowledged,for%20a%20decentralized%20financial%20system.

Good whisky, just like #bitcoin, takes proof of work. It needs to age in casks and go through processes which cannot be sped up. Talisker 10YO is my fav. Port Ruighe is probably my second favorite... https://image.nostr.build/fdb2e333302aab2b5c5a8d36ce2e5528fdd82d51b8be2d4755af105cab42129e.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=756x1008&blurhash=_B8%3Ant0gI%3B%3D%7B9b-oRk9v-UWVIq%251Rkj%5B4%3B-oxZIpxtIps%3A%7EA9bf*%3D%7B9u%251aeNbxZR*Nb%24%25azWV9a-on%25Ip%25KRjj%5B%3D%7BE3of%251Ipt6n%25t7WBWCofjFbHbHM%7CxtWBRkxtaeW%3B&x=c7a73ce914bf3e0b5fd4608776bdc732992c102eda9d47a721197abad6d56c17

People often think someone knows something others don't. Institutions, insiders, wealthy individuals,... Surprisingly few bitcoiners truly grasp #bitcoin, its potential and purpose. Did it cross your mind that for once we might actually be those who know something others don't?

Not only Gary Gensler clearly states that he was forced to approve the ETF because of the court order and that it would otherwise probably didn't happen. But he also didn't forget to mention his views on every other crypto... I'm so bullish on #bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/dc6eccfe1b1f06651df84fa63a266e987f8d38c01fa2c3fe4803591bcac3eb7b.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=585x150&blurhash=H5Q%5Dr%7C8%5E_3Ma%25NaG%25jRi%25iL%23%24%5DNMiro%24RMtUV%3Fo%25&x=f5fe0ec597427e6f0388ef06ff1b009bf3fced69304154248234d1a2db2c1d9d

Have you read official statements from SEC's people regarding the #bitcoin    ETF approval? Seems like quite a diverse bunch of opinions. Ranging from absolute distancing from the approval to distancing from not approving it years ago... 🤯 Basically Gary says they did it just because of the court order. Hester Pierce said it should have been approved a long time ago to avoid this circus. Caroline Crenshaw distances herself from the decision and views it as down right bad and Mark Uyeda is somewhere in between.

#bitcoin reached parity with the Vietnamese dong in October 2017 and then again in April 2019. Since then 1 sat > 1 dong. Right now it reached parity for 2nd time in the Czech Republic, where 1 sat = around 1 haléř. (Smallest unit of our Czech crown) Which currency is next?
