Alternatively, you could also lie to yourself that it is a Bitcoin book, give your $10-20 to a good cause, and read it anyways 🤷‍♂️

My last Bitcoin report was ~35 pages and people complained about length, so next week's release is twice as long 🙃 If you don't want to read all that or look at the ~30 graphs/visuals, I'll highlight parts of it over the next weeks. It's about Bitcoin payments and adoption.

I was invited on @Breedlove22's podcast in Miami to talk about Mining and Bitcoin Adoption. If you can sit through the first minutes in which I say "essentially" 17 times because I'm jetlagged, maybe you'll like it. Link below 👇

It was an honor to get on WBD after being a listener for years. We talked about my last report on What Bitcoin mining could look like at one zettahash. Hope you find it insightful and I'm happy to take any feedback ✌️

The correlation is obvious, but I still found it interesting to compare these metrics to spot the outliers. It is noteworthy how each time fees decoupled from price and search, it happened for reasons inside the industry that most people outside of it don't care about.

We’re on the cusp of a lot of technological improvements to Bitcoin. Feels like 2016! Some will try to credit the change to Ordinals and Inscriptions on Bitcoin, but the work on these upgrades started long before those were a thing. Ecash, Fedimint, Ark, Vaults, and all of the…

A few quick thoughts on some potential implications: - Nation states would have zero respect for the power balance within Bitcoin and would waste a ton of time and effort pushing their wishes through, feeling entitled. - Nation states would centralize mining power and undermine…

People who are trying to boost the “nation states are mining” narrative are looking for a shortcut to get rich quicker or just love drama, without any regard for what that would actually mean for Bitcoin in the long term.

Revised version. - Removed Bitstamp because they are just running nodes, media interpreted it as the full package. - Removed Hodlhodl because they dropped support later on, goal is to show who still has it. - Added BL3P to 2022.
