This was a historic meeting of researchers, regulators, and industry. Learning from each other, building relationships, and admiring this #Bitcoin engineering marvel that increases the reliability of the grid and secures the most valuable decentralized monetary system.
Riot recently hosted a tour for guests from @TAMU and @ERCOT_ISO at the Company's Rockdale Facility. Our team would like to extend our gratitude to those who visited our site, giving us the chance to showcase Riot's large-scale Bitcoin mining infrastructure.
Senator Elizabeth Warren is aggressively lobbying for warrantless, unconstitutional mass surveillance of everyone in the United States, just to ban #bitcoin
Microsoft is training a custom, narrow-focus LLM specifically on the regulatory process for small nuclear plants. They need to build SMRs to power Bing's brain. MS expects the LLM to eliminate 90% of the costs and human hours involved.
Senator Elizabeth Warren's latest bill is an attack against self-sovereign #Bitcoin use.
1. It extends Bank Secrecy Act burdens onto open-source wallet developers, miners, and any individual running a full node, turning developers and validators into unwilling surveillance agents.
2. This Bill would make it unlikely for individuals to be able to send Bitcoin from non-custodial wallets to exchanges if they need to sell their Bitcoin. The right to self-custody is crucial; without it, we don't truly own our digital assets.
3. While Warren's brutal track record on passing legislation is 0-305, it is supported by executives from the nation’s largest banks.
It’s time to defend our constitutional right to self-custody Bitcoin and stand firm against this unwarranted overreach.
It's reprehensible that Senator Elizabeth Warren wants to destroy our civil liberties just to ban #bitcoin. She should immediately withdraw her bill and apologize to the American public.

the digital asset anti money laundering act is not designed to protect consumers, it’s intended to create an unworkable and unenforceable financial surveillance regime that effectively outlaws crypto technology in america, said @valkenburgh on @galaxy__brains this week
It's not just Ledger; any client software that maintains 1,000s of coins will have the same problem.
It's just too much bloat to maintain and secure.
Put your precious bitcoin on COLDCARD and your altcoins stay on the exchanges, where you doing the speculation anyways.

As we approach 2024, #Bitcoin's purchasing power is poised for an upswing due to positive catalysts. The continuous technical advancements in wallet and node software are enhancing user experience and security. The fourth halving is set to tighten BTC monetary policy which historically has led to an increase in value. In contrast, the loosening of USD monetary policy, through interest rate cuts, could make Bitcoin an attractive hedge against currency debasements and devaluations. The introduction of several Bitcoin ETFs is also a key development, their marketing budgets and convenience will accelerate institutional and retail interest. Lastly, the lessons learned from the previous bull market are likely to inform longer term strategies and risk management. All these factors collectively suggest a robust outlook for Bitcoin's value as we move into 2024.
I love the notion that productive meetings are about truth seeking. Curious if anyone in the bitcoin space uses a similar approach to the “six page memo”.
"I like a crisp document and a messy meeting."
@JeffBezos on @lexfridman
"The document should be written with such clarity that it's like angels signing from up high."
Lots of goodness here. How it feels when everyone's reading your memo, how the process of writing it might
