I see a lot of people saying they are too late to bitcoin, etc etc. Thatβs definitely not true. While there has definitely been more institutional adoption, the average person still views bitcoin as crazy. I was hanging out with my fianceeβs friend group yesterday comprised of 12 people all 25-32. I asked if anyone was into bitcoin and not a single person said yes and all of them looked at me like I was crazy. To me this makes me feel like Iβm ahead of the game.
I stay fairly involved to Bitcoin and MSTR discussions, but I never understand the hate for Michael Saylor. I get the initial suspicion, as he was convicted for securities fraud in the early 2000βs, and that he has somewhat delusional takes, but heβs not really a short term bull. Most of his keynote speeches involve him saying that Bitcoin needs to take up 1% of global capital, but it may take the world 10+ years to get there. I find that a lot more bearish than most of what I read on the Bitcoin forums. What he says isnβt really too crazy. If Bitcoin can get adopted by the store of value category (Real Estate, Art, Gold, etc..) than I donβt think itβs far fetched to see Bitcoin become a $10 trillion asset within the next 10 years or so. I would honestly say that most of us that hold Bitcoin would agree with that. So whatβs everyoneβs problem with Micheal Saylor??
I got into bitcoin because of its philosophy tha empowered people against governments. It allows people to genuinely have a piece of the Bitcoin that they could leverage at some point financially or in many other aspects. But: now Bitcoin is held by Blackrock and other ETFs. People are buing stocks of Bitcoin, not the asset itself. It starts to feel as useless as gold or Tesla shares. An ETF share is a claim. A hardware wallet with your own private keys is actual ownership. That difference still matters today just as much as it did when Bitcoin was created.

Me see green candle. Me buy top. π Price go down 30%. Me panic. Me sell bottom. Price instantly recover. Me angry. Me open 100x leverage short because "market rigged." Price pump 5%. Me get liquidated. Me open 100x leverage long cause "Ooga bull." Price dump 10%. Me get liquidated again. Me go Reddit. "Ooga Whales manipulating market." "Exchanges hunting me stop loss." "BTC scam." Meanwhile smart caveman: Buy low. Hold banana. π Ignore noise. Sleep good. π΄ Me? Buy top. Sell bottom. Leverage max. Account gone. OOGA BOOGA. CYCLE COMPLETE
"Oh he lost his hard-drive full of bitcoin" ,"Damn his usb had bitcoin he lost it years ago" I dont get it! Bitcoin are on the blockchain so I think they are saying hard-drive/usb as where the passphrase was located in maybe? i think im just dumb
I want to dive deep into crypto and Bitcoin, but honestly, the sheer amount of info out there is pretty overwhelming. Most of the stuff I run into online feels either way too technical to understand or just ends up being a sketchy sales pitch/shill for some random coin. Does anyone have a solid list of go-to resources, websites, or video series that cover everything from the absolute basics to the more advanced stuff? I'm just looking for unbiased, A-to-Z guides that actually break down how it all works without the fluff. Appreciate any links or recommendations you can throw my way!
I've been working on an open-source project called Conduit β a Lightning SDK that lets software agents send and receive sats programmatically, self-hosted and non-custodial. It's MIT licensed and live on PyPI and npm. Sharing it here mainly to get eyes from people who know Lightning well and can tell me what I'm missing. Repo: https://github.com/Jake1848/conduit Not selling anything β it's free and open source. Just looking for honest technical feedback.

Quantum computing poses a real, broad-based, but bounded and substantially mitigable threat to Bitcoin and Ethereum. We separate the two quantum algorithms that public discussion routinely conflates: Shor's algorithm breaks the elliptic-curve signatures (ECDSA over secp256k1, BLS over BLS12-381) that authorize spending, whereas Grover's algorithm does not meaningfully threaten proof-of-work mining, which is protected by a merely quadratic speedup, fault-tolerant per-operation costs, a square-root parallelization wall, and difficulty adjustment. Folding hardware scaling, the falling resource requirement, a fault-tolerance readiness lag, and expert surveys into a single Monte-Carlo forecast yields a wide, bimodal arrival distribution for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer: about a one-in-six chance by 2035, near 30% by 2040, and about 60% by 2050. Exposure is concentrated and mostly migratable: of Bitcoin's roughly six million quantum-exposed coins only about 2.3 million are irreducibly at risk, while 50 to 65% of Ether sits at key-revealed accounts that can adopt post-quantum signatures. A timely migration beats even an optimistic 2035 machine, so the binding constraint is governance, not technology. A survey of the top twenty cryptocurrencies finds none fully post-quantum. Reproducible models accompany every quantitative claim.
