    India choosing one religion over another makes me seriously concerned about my plans to fund businesses there. #freedom #freedomofreligion.

    Has anyone calculated the energy and the CO2 the existing banking system uses? The buildings, the paper, the bankers themselves? Maybe Elon should not accept Fiat for cars? #bitcoin

    Would you switch airlines to get rewarded in bitcoin rather than airline miles?

    $250k by end of 2022. Just 5X from here. Looking a lot more likely than when I made the initial prediction three years ago, eh? #Bitcoin

    I think Elon is awesome and we are so lucky to have him on our planet, I believe he wants to save the planet with Tesla, make sure we can get off it with SpaceX, and now allow everyone free speech with Twitter, and he does it all profitably. I hope he lives forever!

    43.4% capital gains tax might kill the golden goose that is America/Silicon Valley. People need an incentive to build long term #startups of value. In California, that would be a 56.4% tax burden. >50% Spells death to job creation.

    Banks don’t like bitcoin because it makes them less relevant, so you are seeing their attempted manipulation over the weekend. #bitcoin $250 k by end of 2022, or early 2023.

    Gold is dead. It just sits there. Bitcoin moves. Borderless. Permissionless. Programmable. You can’t buy coffee with gold. But with Bitcoin, you can — without banks, inflation, or friction.

    The fear is far worse than the virus. The governments have it wrong. Stay open for business. If not, so many more people will die from a crashing economy than from this virus. #corona #dustbowl #food #clothing #shelter

    Good to see @elonmusk reengaging with Bitcoin. I expect he will find #bitcoin to be far greener than the banks. Also, more #free and more #trustworthy. Also, @jack Dorsey is awesome. And @CathieDWood is brilliant. Delightful to see them all together discussing #bitcoin future.

    Just saw the news. Inflation! Are any of us surprised? Government prints more dollars, so the other ones are worth less. Happy to be a #bitcoin hodler. The best inflation hedge.

    I have been advocating for CFO's to keep some cash in #Bitcoin for a while now as a hedge against bad government and the banking system. The Silicon Valley Bank crisis might keep companies who didn't buy at least some #BTC from making payroll on Monday. This is a Main St. problem
