Are you all-in on Bitcoin? Yes? Then you need to spend it regularly.

Otherwise you aren't all-in, you dirty fiat-lover 😆

If someone lies to you, don't believe anything else they say unless you can independently verify their claims.

I can't believe this has to be said sometimes. But it does.

Really good chat with Kallisti this past Friday on the recent crypto spam attacks.

Will be interesting to see how it all plays out, especially the effects on Monero privacy

Understandable, though if I can use those without a custodial solution, I would prefer those over fiat.

When memes are outlawed, only the outlaws will have memes.

Have to have BTC too, not because anyone is using it, but just to say you can support it.

We're approaching hypermemecoinization.

Yeah and there's always a few good one-coin solutions. That doesn't work. Few merchants can get enough business off of one coin's community.

I see a constant stream of lies and nonsense go completely unchallenged on a daily basis.

Can't be me. I'm always going to be the jerk who says something.

Almost none of you are spending crypto at mom-and-pop merchants.

You know how I know? The merchant tools absolutely suck.

This is how Lightning seems like "it works for payments" to some people

Imagine having to prove who you are via government ID, and that you're in good standing, before you are allowed to transact.

You're already doing it. Unless you use cash or crypto, every purchase works like this!

Getting rid of the dreaded Amazon Web Services for supposedly-decentralized crypto networks is really important. Fascinating to see the approach CUDOS is taking here.

The emperor has no clothes. But nothing changes until everyone knows it, and everyone KNOWS everyone knows it.

it's clear that we're just getting started on this exciting ride.

When I first started getting into crypto, the entire space was barely worth $1 billion.

Today, it's over $2.5 trillion and growing.

This is just the beginning, too.

Had a great time having Madison on the show on Friday! That makes the 4th current or former Edge member: Paul, Jessica, Maverick. Kind of like extended family at this point!

When was the last time you genuinely were afraid you'd be eaten by a wild animal or wouldn't have enough food to avoid starvation?

Been a while? Be grateful. We live in blessed times.
