Dad's Advice

Bitcoin gives humanity a form of money that no government or institution can debase, seize, or censor. It protects the fundamental human rights of economic sovereignty and freedom to transact It will benefit 5.7 billion people (72% of the world) who live under authoritarianism It's already begun.

I’m glad to see the protests went off yesterday with no violence. Thats how America is supposed to work. Protest all you want folks, but do it peacefully. It’s the American way.

Blocking people because they said something about bitcoin that you don’t agree with is the surest way to stay ignorant. Some people aggressively run from the truth, preferring comfort instead. It’s insane.

Looks like some people are finally letting go of the “bitcoin has no value“ trope. It’s about time. Now they’re stuck in the “bitcoin is only good for [insert paranoid bad thing]” trope. In time the’ll realize that’s false as well.

For those not trolling and genuinely curious which crypto to buy now, the answer is none of them. Keep your money. Education is the best investment you can possibly make. www.lopp.net/bitcoin-info...

I'm back. I was troubled by Charlie Kirk's assassination and liked the idea of open dialog between people of different views, which he championed. I underestimated how much vitriol his name inspired. I don't defend Charlie and that was never my intention. So Dad's Advice is back.

The levels of ignorance and distrust about bitcoin on this site are really remarkable. It's not hurting bitcoin, but it's certainly hurting that segment of liberals that feel this way. All we can do is keep trying to educate and explain.

Good thread 👇👇👇

The Tylenol announcement is a litmus test. Reality: a cautious, incremental label change that brings the U.S. a bit closer to Europe’s more precautionary stance. Politics: loud, polarized reactions on both sides. If you're outraged, and can’t separate reality from politics, you failed the test.

Another criminal finds out the hard way that bitcoin isn’t good for crime. He should have used US dollars. Thats the one that’s good for crime.

A common misconception among people that don’t understand bitcoin is that people buy it, hoping to sell later for more dollars. After all, that’s what THEY (as people that don’t understand bitcoin) would do. In reality, most people who DO understand bitcoin never plan to sell for dollars, period.

There’s a myth that still lives on BlueSky, that bitcoin is only good for crime. In fact the opposite is true, the only thing bitcoin ISN‘T good for is crime. Asking for a bribe in bitcoin is like saying, “give me a suitcase full of money, but also put a permanent GPS tracker in it!” Read this:

That's dramatic. I was curious and chatted with ChatGPT. From my chat: - It's real, not seasonality - Mostly (60%) due to policy/incentive changes in France and Germany - Partly (30%) due to competition (BYD, MG, VW, Stellantis) - Other factors (10%) eg delivery lumpiness, brand sentiment/politics

How's everyone holding up over here?

What you hold is the key to unlock your Bitcoin, not the coin itself. Understanding how wallets and private keys work is the first step toward true financial empowerment. Learn how Bitcoin really works. Your future deserves clarity, not confusion. . #bitcoinbasics

Many people don't understand that Satoshi wrote a protocol that no one, no corporation, no government, no person or group of people, NOT EVEN HIMSELF (themselves) can control. It belongs to the human race. It just "is". It can't be stopped. Humans are adopting it. There's no one "behind" it.

You guys don't seem to get it. Demanding a bribe in bitcoin is like saying: "Give me a suitcase of unmarked $100 bills - and make sure you put a GPS tracker in it!"

It's true. I've become intolerant of fucking idiots that still think bitcoin is a "scam", or "tulips", or that some shitcoin is "a bitcoin", or any of the other absolute IDIOCY that passes for bitcoin knowledge on this site. It's 2025. It's no longer excusable to be this ignorant about bitcoin.

Lol

Consider BluSky block as a tool for reinforcing your myopic views. Want to learn something? Don't. A different point of view? Avoid. Someone likes something that you don't? Label. Receive the world with empathy? Never. Have no answer to someone's argument? Denigrate. Open your mind? lol, No.

Bitcoin is here to stay. That argument is over. The only question remaining is, when are you going to finally take the time to learn about it?

Is there anyone on this site who can tell me the difference between bitcoin and Trump's meme coin?

I love how they block you here on BlueSky when you have the audacity to suggest actually learning something. For the record, this doesn’t happen on X lol.

As bad as the bitcoin ignorance is on this site, the bitcoin scam shit is worse. I scroll past it because it’s so obviously a scam to me but it just struck me - if I was as ignorant as the average BlueSky user seems to be about bitcoin I might actually fall for this shit. Be careful out there kids

Get used to watching bitcoin go up. It’s going to go up for the rest of your life, or until governments stop printing money, whichever comes first. (Hint: it won’t be the second one)

Bitcoin millionaires aren’t richer than you because they *bought* Bitcoin before you did. They’re richer than you because they put in the effort to *learn* Bitcoin before you did.

Many (most?) BlueSky users have a primitive, superstitious fear of Bitcoin, because they don’t fully understand it, and it threatens existing structures or beliefs. This fear makes them susceptible to lies, misperceptions and outlandish beliefs about sinister conspiracies and crime. It’s madness.

As global markets turn away from the US dollar/Treasury market, it's prudent for the skeptical Left to start understanding Bitcoin. Love it or Hate it, at least understand it.

Every government eventually abuses its currency. Bitcoin is the first currency governments can’t abuse. #bitcoin #btc #crypto #cryptocurrency #econsky

Opinion: "At a global Bitcoin conference in Bedford, I heard stories that changed how I see financial freedom. For these activists, it’s not about profit. It’s about survival..." #Bedford #BedfordNews #Bitcoin #HumanRights #CheatCode2025 #Activism

Authoritarian governments weaponize financial systems to silence dissent, block humanitarian aid, surveil citizens. Bitcoin is a lifeline that operates outside the control of governments, banks, and corporations. Learn how Bitcoin protects human rights here: bitcoinhumanalliance.org

I'll bet you #bitcoin bounces back faster and higher than all other markets. Any takers?

If outrage and anger were food, this site would solve world hunger. I had no idea that all y'all - held so much wealth in the stock market - believed so strongly in free markets and capitalism - hate taxation and giving your money to the govt so much Welcome to the Austrian School of Economics

Many people think bitcoin is controlled by whales that will hoard the coins. But bitcoin isn't like fiat money that can make money without being spent and thus the rich get richer. Bitcoin can only be enjoyed by spending it. And spend it they will. This whale sold coins to go on a space ride.

Many people fear bitcoin because they think it’s controlled by whales or insiders. And why wouldn’t they? All money has always been that way. The US dollar is that way right now. But bitcoin is different. It’s purpose-built to NOT be controllable by anyone. It’s freedom money for the little guy.

My advice isn't to buy bitcoin, it's to learn bitcoin. Being uneducated about a disruptive financial technology that's used by millions including sophisticated billionaire investors, the largest asset management firms, corporations and even countries, is peak irresponsibility. Bitcoin, not crypto
