How Bitcoin Is Disrupting Venture Capital
@npub1gfxgylgst4lcemkjth6xdvcvq7le8rtlrym7wayml63qrjggngaqkqescl and I explore how Bitcoin changes everything for startups and venture capital. Easy fiat money dissolves discipline, letting bad ideas flourish. But when using Bitcoin as a "hurdle rate", builders and investors must be ruthlessly honest. How do you fund a good idea when the cost of capital has a compound annual growth rate of 50%?

"Michael Saylor says there are no informed critiques [of Bitcoin]. If you study this for 50 hours and you still think it sucks, and you have reasonable arguments — please, call me. I haven’t seen it.
All the people that are against Bitcoin are super emotional or don’t know what they’re talking about. I’m not saying I know everything, but I know I did the work to understand why this thing should exist.
Yesterday, I talked to Ken Sim, who’s the mayor of Vancouver, and he put out there, ‘I will pay anyone a million Canadian dollars if they can give me sound, rational arguments as to why Bitcoin sucks.’ And he said no one has taken the bait.
So that says a lot. If you go on LinkedIn or Twitter, and there’s like all these critics, I just usually reply, like: ‘Please post an image of your massive, massive shorts.’
Put your money where your mouth is. I’m all in on Bitcoin. So what are you doing?"

"One of the reasons that I have come to love Bitcoin is because it doesn't change—that's why it gets called things like a pet rock. But since 2009 when it launched, the rules that govern the system have remained almost identical to when they started…Now, what FASB have done is they've basically changed the rules, so the way that you value a company is now different because of a sleight of hand…And it's interesting because it highlights very well how excellent Bitcoin is at what it says it is, which is a monetary network. And it's very useful for measuring value.
How far is it from here to my next-door neighbor? Well, it's a number of meters. Does a meter change over time? No. This is a commonly agreed distance that we measure things with.
Now, measuring value using dollars—what if the value of the dollar itself is changing? Well, you're suddenly using a measuring stick that is like: is it a meter and 10% this year? Or is it a meter and 6% this year? Or maybe you're somewhere that's hyper-inflating, and it's actually 2 meters is now the equivalent to a year ago. And this is very confusing, right? It really screws with the head, because what it ultimately means is that we are measuring economics with a stick that is constantly changing. And how can you make efficient economic decisions if the measuring stick is all over?"

Imagine Nostr in 120 years…
I was recently told a story by a friend, which this morning is resonating very strongly, and is helping me see the future.
This friend could remember their father taking them to a hilltop, studying the land, and pointing out the 120-year-old trees that had been planted as a wind block for the acreage. The point of the story was as the eldest son, it was their job to make long-term decisions. Someone had planted those trees in the knowledge they would never benefit from them personally.
This is true capital allocation
What if a Nostr account is the equivalent of planting a tree?
If we assume that Nostr will exist 100 years from now, all of the value that a Nostr npub/nsec creates compounds for future generations. As we know you could inherit a Twitter profile, but is that really going to be around 100 years from now? This is why we love Nostr. A protocol. A technology. An open space for all.
As an idea, it needs some thought and fleshing out. The concept of digital property rights in connection with communication is very profound. We don’t know what’s coming. But we can make bets based on rational guessing. My bet is that Nostr is the cornerstone of communications in the future.
Why not plant some digital trees?

"The opportunity cost of everything is Bitcoin. There’s nothing worth investing in more than Bitcoin — not gold, not art, not cars. At the same time, there are a lot of really good things in life that you should buy because you love them. I wouldn’t invest in real estate, but I do want to invest in a home. I don’t want to invest in classic cars for collector value, but I do want to invest in a Land Cruiser to drive around Australia. So, invest in things you love — just be prudent and make sure they don’t lose value.
But again, the opportunity cost of everything is Bitcoin. At the end of the day, nothing beats investing in it for the financial returns."

"Are we going into a superinflationary environment? Are we about to see, as Larry Lepard calls it, ‘The Big Print?’ The amount of money that's about to get printed by the Federal Reserve is mind-bogglingly big compared to what was done before.
It's kind of like a heroin addict, right? You try a little bit — oh, that felt good. Try a little bit more — oh, that felt really good. Before you know it, you're getting the biggest hits you've ever had and you're completely addicted. And that's what modern monetary theory essentially is. It's like they are a crack addict just feeding, feeding, feeding, and each time they need a bigger and bigger hit to make the system function.”

Get out, go and read The Fourth Turning and also have a look at a book called The Sovereign Individual. The two of them together are critical pieces to understanding why, in a sense, there's inevitability about the emergence of a free-market money that was applicable for the digital realm."

If I could increase the income coming in, what would I do with it? What do I do with this money? Because I knew, deep down, fundamentally, I couldn't put a name to it, but I knew that you couldn't save in a bank.

Are We Still Early to Bitcoin?
Bitcoin’s price has surged over the years, but is the real growth still ahead? We discuss why the majority of institutional capital hasn't entered yet, how macro forces like inflation vs. deflation play into Bitcoin’s rise, and why Bitcoin’s long-term fundamentals are stronger than ever.

"Humans forever have never been able to resist the temptation of printing money. So if you put me in charge of the money printer, we're talking about, you know, Lord of the Rings—Frodo's got the ring, all right? It's very hard to resist that temptation. So why don't we just have a system where the temptation's gone? There's no human that has the ability to create more money or to control the monetary system. It totally removes that temptation.
In terms of why that's done, I think it definitely is to sort of create something for nothing. And it gets deep into human psychology, and it gets kind of dark in terms of that element of evil that's in our world and in every human. You know, there's sort of the light and the darkness.
And you might say it seems that the people who are able to harness control of the money supply perhaps are more minded, persuaded, or innately drawn to the kind of evil side of controlling other human beings.
And effectively, we have a system of slavery, being the modern system of money."

The executive order establishes two major initiatives: a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will hold approximately 198,109 BTC seized through forfeiture, undergo a formal audit, and remain unsold. Meanwhile, the U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile will store all other non-Bitcoin assets obtained through forfeiture.
Additionally, the Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce will craft budget-neutral strategies to acquire more Bitcoin for the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, but no such plans will be made for other digital assets. This marks a historic shift: the U.S. government is developing an acquisition strategy specifically for Bitcoin, not crypto.

"An article I wrote with Troy Cross, published a couple years ago called "Mine Your Values". The idea there—it’s kind of a pun—is that we have values, things we care about and wish to promote in the world.
Step one: mine them—find out what they are, dig a little bit, do some introspection, a little thinking, a little philosophy to figure out your values.
Step two: enact them in the world through your investments. Our hypothesis in that article was that Bitcoin mining is, in fact, one important way for Bitcoiners to enact their values in the world, especially those who care about a sustainable future, carbon neutrality, or reducing carbon emissions.
What we proposed is that Bitcoin is a way to promote a couple of different values—including those environmental ones but also cypherpunk values. If you care about a future where money is available to all, enabling escape from surveillance and control by both private and public authorities, you will want to promote that value somehow—concretely, not just in the ballot box, but with your investments as well. Bitcoin is the answer."

I just feel that Bitcoin is something we can save our life's work in, and we can feel that there is a future for us by saving in Bitcoin—understanding what it all means and where it's going. It gives us that ability to have hope for the future, that things are going to get better. Instead of feeling like you're running on a treadmill that's getting ever faster, Bitcoin can give you an opportunity to slow things down, take a long-term approach to life, and zoom out."

“A lot of the wealth that you store in the analog world is going to depreciate against Bitcoin. If you pull out the chart of every single asset class against Bitcoin, it's falling. And I think that's not a coincidence, it's nature. Because when you have something that's finite and you have something that's infinite, the energy of that infinite value is going to flow slowly into the finite.
There's a great analogy described by Michael Saylor of a waterfall. The waterfall represents the money flow. You have a lower energy state, which is Bitcoin, and you have a high-energy state, which is analog wealth. So what we are seeing right now, why Bitcoin is crazy expensive, is that the money flow is flowing from analog wealth into digital wealth."
