My good friend Joe Nakamoto continues to catch a lot of heat. Some say he's "Big Bitcoin". Other's say he's the voice of Bitcoin adoption. This video just goes to show that YOU CANNOT EVER MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY on the internet. Good journalism asks uncomfortable questions. This video is not trying to say Bitcoin has failed as money, it is showing that even in the places where Bitcoin is believed to have been adopted as money, there is a lot of work to be done. If we're serious about freedom money, we need to show people reality, and then remind them why and how we can get to the future we believe we deserve.

Loved this interview with @Scaramucci this week. I think he has a fantastic grasp of why Bitcoin is so valuable, yet so undervalued. Believe in something. Believe in Bitcoin.

Satoshi’s choice of SHA-256 was inconceivably brilliant. One of the reasons why folks like Adam Back continue to refute doomer talk of Bitcoin being undone by quantum computing. @LH I’d love to have you on my show some time!

"Bitcoin Should Be $300K Right Now" - Anthony Scaramucci on Crypto, AI & the $33 Trillion Debt Crisis It was a great pleasure to have @scaramucci on The Starting Block! The full interview covers a lot of ground, from his 11-day tenure as White House Communications Director to becoming a Bitcoin evangelist and author, Scaramucci offers unfiltered insights into why America is fractured, why crypto adoption is inevitable, and where Bitcoin is really headed. Chapters: 0:50 - Prediction Markets: Why the NFL's resistance is futile and how these markets outperform polls 5:00 - "All the Wrong Moves": Scaramucci unpacks the three forces that created left and right-wing populism—China's WTO entry, two decades of war with tax cuts, and the 2008 bank bailout that sparked Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, and MAGA 10:20 - Crypto Regulation post Trump: Inside look at the Clarity Act, Paul Atkins at the SEC, and why the next two years are critical for codifying crypto rules before potential regulatory reversals 15:00 The $33 Trillion Problem: How deficit spending has exploded from $5.8 trillion (Washington to Clinton) to $33 trillion today, and why Bitcoin is the answer 19:00 AI Boom: How Scaramucci uses AI for research, analytics, and content creation—and why he's optimistic (not apocalyptic) about artificial intelligence 21:50 - Michael Saylor & Bitcoin Treasuries: Why MicroStrategy's fortress balance sheet and the rise of Bitcoin treasury companies (STRC, Strive) represent a fundamental shift in how corporations store value 25:20 - 2027 Outlook: Geopolitical uncertainty, interest rates as "the physical gravity of financial assets," and why tokenization will explode next year 28:30 - Katie Zacharia & LIFE LESSONS: Scaramucci reflects on his short tenure as White House press secretary and advice he gave to Zacharia after she was ousted in her first week on the job. @theblockco | @SkyBridge | @SALTConference

I asked @Scaramucci for his thoughts on @saylor and @Strategy. High praise from Mooch on Saylor’s innovative approach to Bitcoin and how it changed his business forever.

Did you know that Michael Saylor orange-pilled Anthony Scaramucci on Bitcoin. @Scaramucci recalls meeting @saylor in 2020 after @Strategy made headlines converting its treasury into $BTC. "He's really one of the smartest people I've ever met in my life." Scaramucci then went about making ‘6-figure’ Bitcoin purchases for @SkyBridge clients. His take on Strategy: 👇 People should do more homework on the "fortress balance sheet" 👇 Saylor is "going to be right" 👇 Short-termers may be disappointed, but four or five-year holders will be "incredibly well rewarded"

So, a tale of two Bitcoin treasuries this week. Strive made its biggest ever buy: 6,182 BTC for $511.4M while Strategy, the company that wrote the playbook, bought none. Here’s the breakdown: - Strive paid roughly $82,732 a coin between Oct 17 and 23. The stack goes from 36,818 to 43,000 BTC. And there's a fresh $1B ATM to keep going. - Strategy bought zero BTC last week, its first pause since mid-September. Instead it spent $204.9M buying back its own STRC preferred. Still sitting on 848,517 BTC at an average of $75,446. With BTC around $79.5K, Strive's latest batch is a few percent underwater. Strategy's whole stack is still in the green.
