It's cool and all, updating on Uranium dust.

But thou shall not forget that people can look up x.com.

Next time make sure you make it look more convincing, like a time stamp.

This was not posted on X.

He posts on his own version of X, where the check is red, not blue and nobody can critisize him.

I favor Szabo if we're going to go with old school cypherpunp types.

For sure it is not him, he is a partial shitcoiner did you not read about his ETH support? Don't tell me that you want to believe that satoshi left Bitcoin to work on Ethereum.

Well, I said in the very next sentence that I don't think it's him, and that actually is one of the reasons... he did momentarily get starry-eyed about Ethereum. I don't know that he's completely stayed there though, but you can't blame him. That was where his idea, smart contracts, was most fully implemented. 

Like I said, my favorite is John Nash. I don't think it's probably him either, but it really could have been.

I also said one of the most likely candidates for who Satoshi is at the very end of what I posted, but we never want to talk about that one.

If we quote that one, do I get a free inclusion to some watch list?

Next time, thou shall not forget to do a better job of figuring out where the post is made!

So the Difficulty is sliding downwards
156t to 138t

and current numbers toward 132t.

Maybe we are in the 2021 time after China forced miners out.
Instead A.I. and Iran war is forcing miners out.

If true we could pass 126k this fall

Remember when the *Suez* canal was blocked during "covid" when they were trying to force a "reset" of the global order?... LAST time?

I do.  Crazy the way history seems to repeat.



Be weird if that happened again wouldn't it?  Probably doesn't even need to really.

Well, that's weird. Explosions at the Panama Canal? Huh. Who would have thought that might happen?

That is just what the world needs, for those 2 canals to close again and we could welcome WW3 right away.

Morgan Stanley's spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) has started trading today.

~3,500 shares of MSBT equals the value of 1 full Bitcoin.

Current Bitcoin Price: ~$71,890
Current MSBT Price: ~$20.54

Formula: $71,890 / $20.54 = 3,500


Note: Early on before market open and before actual launch: The issuer (Morgan Stanley) filed paperwork with a 'placeholder' share price number; earlier projected at a $40 per share price point (which would have been a ~1700:1 ratio equaling 1 full BTC. However, before actual markets opened Morgan Stanley decided to go with a 'mini' share price of roughly $20 which is a 3500:1 ratio equaling 1 full BTC. So, ~3500 shares of MSBT equals 1 BTC.


For comparison:

Morgan Stanley's MSBT: ~1/3500th Slice of 1BTC
Blackrock's IBIT: ~1/1770th Slice of 1BTC
Fidelity's FBTC: ~1/1150th Slice of 1BTC

A 'spot' Bitcoin ETF is mechanically designed to track the actual market price of Bitcoin as closely as possible. If Bitcoin moves 1%, the spot Bitcoin ETF moves 1% in the same direction during active market hours.

Already this morning 1,350,000 shares (over $27million) of Morgan Stanley's MSBT have been scooped up, representing about 7,900 BTC. Much of this is institutional money buying and Morgan Stanley's investors buying to hodl for a long time. As the days roll by this spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT) will lock-up a healthy percentage of Bitcoin's supply not already locked-up in investment and retirement accounts, and by companies (e.g. MSTR), numerous countries and state government reserves.

1.350MM shares x $20.50 = $27,675,000 / 3,500 = 7,900 BTC

The tighter the available supply gets the higher the prices goes! This is exactly what we need, buying demand!  Morgan Stanley clients alone could account for 10% of the 20 million available BTC, that will be locked-up in their investment accounts...

But I don't have any idea who it was. And I think it's better for all of us if we leave it there.

I thought this was already settled...



(Just in case anyone hasn't had their second cup of coffee yet, I am *not* serious).

What's everyone's thoughts on this:

[OgNasty]

Why is Iran so quick to claim victory when we all know that they are the ones on the receiving end

Because they won.   The are now in de facto control of the strait - something they were not before the war. 

Seems to be that is the case.

But these days who knows whats next.

I refuse to believe that any individual capable of tying their own shoes could honestly believe that Iran has won this war.  The mental gymnastics alone that is involved in this line of thinking is something that Nadia Comăneci herself would be envious of.

Still, I respect the commitment to TDS.  This take on the war is right up there with denial of the 4-year cycle.

It's mind boggling, to see this finally happening.

It will test whether or not these networks are truly permissionless.

The newcomers are always so confident in the nonsense they spew... 

satoshi was a shitcoiner if you want to be honest about it.  He worked on the Namecoin project and was very enthusiastic about a merged mined future where Bitcoin's security could be utilized by other chains to provide things like immutable DNS lookups.  He believed in a vision of Bitcoin being the engine powering all sorts of blockchains for all sorts of use cases.

As to the never-ending fun of "who is Satoshi". I imagine almost anyone interested in that question comes to the idea that it might be Adam, but I think anybody who hangs around long enough reads what Adam says, thinks about it a little further, realizes that it's almost certainly not Adam.

I favor Szabo if we're going to go with old school cypherpunk types.

But I don't think he is either, honestly.

My favorite in the category of people who could or could have been Satoshi is John Nash.

At first, it seems impossible. He was a fairly old man in the early 20-teens.

But so many things line up about Nash. It begins to get a little bit spooky after a while. And of course, if you have ever read his paper on Asymptotic Ideal Money, then you are stricken with the similarity of his concept to what was actually implemented in Bitcoin.

But I don't have any idea who it was. And I think it's better for all of us if we leave it there.

It's better for us, but I feel that bankers are pushing this agenda: "well, it's is one person's doing...let's subpoena this person".
It could be potentially dangerous.
To journos- don't you have "better" things to investigate?
