Of course every school child knows that once used water is gone forever. The water cycle is a lie. When you brush your teeth that water is gone forever. This is GOOD news though as it off-sets the claims Bitcoin mining is raising sea levels leaving a net zero change to sea levels
This bullshit by Alex de Vries of the Dutch Central Bank has been debunked many times. Now it’s getting recycled to celebrate the start of COP28.

I'm sure people who see my tweets are tired of it but here's @peterktodd analysis.
"Of course, blind trust could very well work in practice! But if you’re that willing to rely on trust, why are we going to the trouble of using Bitcoin in the first place?"

Very smart idea...
Introducing UTXOracle.py - Get the price of bitcoin without any exchange or third party.
Everyone who runs this will get the same price independently.
Open source, 100% on-chain data, no external libraries, no cookies. Works offline.

BIP300 sidechains will not kill altcoins.
This 'opt-in' talk completely ignores the potential risks to Bitcoin mining incentives that affect everyone.
Any attempts to point these out are called "gatekeeping" - like people shouldn't erect gates to keep out risk.
2017 was the best year for Bitcoin in my eyes, not sure it will ever be topped for sheer drama alone.
Back then I wrote about UASF, Segwit2X and BIP 91 "Segsignal", mostly so I could understand it all myself...

Always a good read from @Breez_Tech
"We don’t need more Lightning apps. We need more apps with Lightning."🎯
And I can't believe I haven't thought about it before but #Lightningnetwork fees are "proportionally priced".

"This is the natural progression of a world that is becoming increasingly digital. A progression that is exacerbated by the fact that people are becoming more and more dumbed down while technology is becoming more and more advanced."
🔥 as always.
It is possible that we will soon see deepfakes of politicians making bombastic statements, attacks on civilians and strategic assets, and celebrities saying and doing insane things. All in an attempt to stoke unrest and ruin reputations.
Be aware, freaks.

This was very interesting.
Anthony has a ton of knowledge and gives great examples of his real world experience with nuclear power. Seems like a great bloke as well.

Kid's books with adult lessons are the best.
The king wants to ban darkness. His political advisors suggest a better approach; to spread anti-dark sentiments among the people, who will then demand that mandatory light laws are imposed. Subjects manipulated, the king gets his way.
My favourite Bitcoin tweet ever because of what it encapsulates:
An individual who feels let down and decides to do something about it and, because Bitcoin is an open network, they are able to... no permission needed. Just skills, a laptop and motivation.
Every time I see this classic Bitcoin tweet I go in and it shows I haven't liked it so I like it, again. Every time. Why doesn't my like stick? 1,968 likes for one of the best tweets ever - something is borken.

Trying to pay a #LightningNetwork invoice using your phone but how can you scan the QR code WITH YOUR PHONE CAMERA when the code is displayed ON THE PHONE SCREEN?!
Using mirrors? 😉
No, with @Breez_Tech: screenshot QR code, pick screen shot image and it scans within the image 😀
