  The difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum is that Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme while Ethereum is a platform for pyramid schemes and tech people really like platforms. https://twitter.com/...

  .@broderick has some choice words about this week's Bitcoin conference in Miami https://www.fastcompany.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

  As I wrote in @FastCompany, it felt very much like the Bitcoin community doesn't really know what it's supposed to do or talk about. https://www.fastcompany.com/ ... There's only so much you can do at a 4-day conference devoted to the theme of “buying more Bitcoin”. https://twitt…

  very appropriate that Miami made the demon Zuul its official Bitcoin mascot https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

  Over and over it seems inescapable that the two options being offered to us right now are: Web3: Digital feudalism Metaverse: Monetize attention and make it a luxury resource for those willing to pay. https://twitter.com/...

  Thiel finishes Bitcoin 2022 speech by unveiling an enemies list. (His words.) Up comes pic of Warren Buffett, who Thiel calls a “sociopathic grandpa” and “Enemy No. 1.” The crowd booes in agreement. (Buffett has called bitcoin “rat poison squared.") https://www.forbes.com/...

  ""When they choose not to allocate to bitcoin, that's a deeply political choice," Idiotic statement but not surprising considering who is uttering it. If you want to test the theory of whether an asset class can be politicized, Thiel is exhibit A. https://www.cnbc.com/...

  Cryptocurrency is a legit part of the future, but to call out geniuses of finance and banking because they don't want the average person to lose their rent money, or retirement, or worse, is irresponsible. Mr. Thiel needs to calm down. The markets ARE shaky right now. https://twi…

  I've learned a lot this week about how Bitcoin true believers see this technology. There are obviously a lot of entry-level consumer investors here, but if you get into the headspace of Bitcoin maximalists you begin to realize how drastically they want to reshape the world... htt…

  What consistently amazes me about Bitcoin is how hostile its proponents are to actually making it useful https://twitter.com/...

  Bitcoin evangelists' utopian vision of their cryptocurrency is at odds with the celebrity-filled panels that make up the annual conference. https://f-st.co/5bdrEy9

  New from me in @FastCompany: The most notable thing about #Bitcoin2022 in Miami this week is how much crypto culture doesn't really feel led by Bitcoin anymore, but Ethereum. https://www.fastcompany.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...

  The difference being that Buffett, unlike Gawker, another former Thiel enemy, can't be sued out of existence. https://twitter.com/...

  Thiel says that Buffett is on his enemies list because he's expressed skepticism about cryptocurrency. “They need to be allocating some of their money to bitcoin. We need to push back on them.” https://twitter.com/...
