    Many years ago I "coined" the phrase #NotYourKeysNotYourCoins to teach people the concept of self-custody for #bitcoin& other #cryptoassets. My workshop "Path to Self-Custody" teaches you how to put it in practice, step by step. Knowledge is power: aantonop.io/workshops

    So while the banking regulators in India were bashing bitcoin for being "unregulated", a $2 bn fraud ring was growing under their noses. One of their biggest banks (regulated) was doing all the money laundering. Honestly, it's almost as if money laundering is the job of banks

    People are beginning to notice #Bitcoin is more than what they are told. And what are they told? It’s for drug dealers, pornographers, criminals… Guess what? That is exactly what they said about the Internet. They were wrong then and they are wrong now.

    Bitcoin is not a company. It’s not an organization. Bitcoin is a standard. It is a protocol. #Bitcoin is not owned by anyone, but anyone can own #bitcoin.

    While Facebook's Libra doesn't compete against any open, public, permissionless, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant blockchains, it *will* compete against both retail banks and central banks. This is going to be fun to watch.

    Whatever your reason for being in crypto, now is the time for: - Compassion - Patience - Respect Lot's of people have lost lots of money recently and it is not helpful to make empty promises, share shitty memes, or criticize others' choices. #bekindorshutup

    I heard that a dancer in Vegas has a bitcoin QR code tattoo and all I could think of was... I hope it is a temporary tattoo because they might want to upgrade to a bech32 native segwit address to save on fees. Also address re-use is poor privacy.

    The CLOUD Act passed. It destroys privacy globally, so it had to be snuck into the $1.3 trillion omnibus without debate. Encrypt. Encrypt. Encrypt. Go Dark. When privacy is criminalized, only criminals have privacy. We got sold out, again.

    Remove Whatsapp from your devices, it's spyware. Use Signal (also remove FB & IG of course - especially from mobile devices).

    Chill out everyone. Nothing of any substance has changed. Just a bunch of new drama, which you should ignore.
