The $100 trillion Zimbabwe note has appreciated 24x more than the US dollar since 2011. You would have been better off saving in a defunct, worthless currency than dollars.

"Hyperinflation actually only comes from the Weimar region of Germany. Otherwise, it's called sparkling high inflation."
Replying to @mmjukic
that just gets you bog standard high inflation, hyperinflation requires a complete collapse of real production

Only 72 hours until our best event to date! See below for full program over both days. 👇
Freedom Tech DC kicks off THIS WEEK. A summit on the future of money, speech, and intelligence — and the fight to keep them free. We're gathering the builders and the regulators with one purpose — to encourage Washington to embrace open source technology. Stream both days live on X from @bitcoinpolicy, plus YouTube and Rumble. Tuesday, September 22 at 10:00 AM ET. Wednesday, September 23 at 9:00 AM ET.

15 years ago, if you did the responsible thing & bought $10,000 of 'risk-free' long-term Treasuries, you'd have $11,072 today. If instead you spent $9,995 on drugs & $5 on bitcoin, you'd have $42,778 today.

Nonsense. ZEC distribution is one of the nastiest the altcoin space. Founders alone took 20% of all rewards for years, 10% of the total supply of Zcash ever. So greedy it would make a European central banker blush.
ZEC has been PoW mined, live, and distributed for *NINE* years, with every single holder in immense pain there is literally no coin better distributed (you are objectively stupid if you think this has "cabal" characteristics, I'm just very loud) combine this with the fact it *actually* gives you encryption and sovereignty combine it with the fact that there's a renaissance of new core talent working on integrations and improvements combine it with the fact that crypto *must* have privacy as the world gets more and more draconian combine it with the fact that it's less than ADA, LTC and many other useless coins combine it with the fact that it has the same tokenomics as Bitcoin, but is just private and then finish it off with the fact that one of the greatest cryptographers alive is shipping a 10,000x scale and perf improvement this is the most obvious mispricing in crypto, and it's not close what you're seeing here is the community using the power of crypto and public markets to breathe life back into the project some may call this a "CTO" — I call it returning to the ideals of crypto we're going to make privacy great again becase we must

Bitcoin peer to peer payments are still difficult and full of friction. At Zaprite, we're working to make it seamless. No QR codes, no lightning addresses, no strings of data, no out of band communication. What is the challenge and how are we creating a solution?

"Our economy is failing. We don't know what to do." "Have you tried first not shutting down your nuclear plants and pouring cement into your gas wells?" "We've tried everything. Nothing has helped. Degrowth is inevitable."
Everyone knows Germany shut down its nuclear plants. But did you know the Netherlands is pouring cement in its gas wells? New post by me. siliconcontinent.com/p/the-d…

We've made p2p bitcoin payments easy for anyone. Connect your existing wallet. No QR codes, no strings, no lightning addresses (unless you want them!). It's just an MVP, much to optimize but we'll be discussing these core designs and flows tonight at Austin Bitcoin Club.

It was an absolute pleasure sitting down with Chase Koch to discuss the management principles that have made Koch Inc. on of the most valuable private companies in the world. Applying free market Austrian principles to business management is underappreciated. A must listen.
TFTC 784 w/ Chase Koch: "If you're not disrupting yourself from within, the market will disrupt you and turn you into a dinosaur." We discuss: ⚡ 9,000x growth built on failure ⚡ Why he fired himself from the top job ⚡ The bottom-up billionaire playbook

On August 15, 1971, President Nixon suspended the convertibility of the US dollar into gold, subjecting the American citizenry to an unprecedented and disastrous economic experiment.
