May I speak to your supervisor?

Goodnight $118K gang. See you in the morning.

Bitcoin is out of your control. Fortunately, it's out of anyone's control. But it's perfectly in control of its own rules and behaviors, allowing you to use it to direct your present and future.

When everyone is out to get you, being paranoid is just a healthy precaution.

Bitcoin: Not just a store of value, but a restorer of values.

What I think I love most about the bitcoin movement is how many people find purpose and meaning in finding their particular role within it. It's always something they care deeply about enough to forego everything else for. It's not everyone, of course, but even just seeing a few people, working with passion and integrity on what their calling is, is incredibly inspirational.

You can't force freedom upon anyone. That's why participation in bitcoin is an invitation to anyone to do so purely of their own volition. Anyone claiming to support freedom but relying on compulsion of others is, at best, lying to themselves, but nevertheless no true ally of freedom.

Word salad and intimidation are not demonstrations of knowledge or intelligence, but rather confusion and insecurity … and everyone sees it. Spewing it and/or pretending it’s valid is rather pathetic.

When you understand how Bitcoin operates - the proof of work, the use of hash pointers, the dispute resolution mechanism, the self-tuning to stay in time - you can see it's beauty, elegance, precision, and harmony. It's so much more beautiful than gold, which is shiny, but doesn't do anything, let alone the graceful dance that Bitcoin performs continuously.

I think in Russia they have the right to bear bears.
