    1) Conbase was never a bitcoin company. They'll sell you whatever will make them a profit. 2) Bcash is a centralized scam, designed to overtake success of Bitcoin by using propaganda to confuse newcomers. Decentralization matter. Avoid both.

    I fell in love with Lightning. Almost nothing works at first glance and the ecosystem is young and incomplete. Reminds me early days of Bitcoin.

    While other pools are busy with mining altcoins, @slush_pool became the biggest #bitcoin mining pool with 20%+ blocks. #FunFact

    I entered bitcoin in 2010 and left my daily job in 2011. But I was forced to sell most of my coins in dip @ 2USD/BTC to pay for servers and keep @slush_pool running. 300USD was a lot of money for many people back then and thinking that everybody must be filthy rich is dangerous.
    Andreas is one of the most eloquent speakers on the topic of Bitcoin, but if he had invested even $300 in bitcoin back in 2012, he’d be a millionaire today.

    Lightning network just crossed capacity of 100 BTC. That's few hundreds thousands of off-chain coffees, and still #recklessly increasing.

    Yesterday our #LightningNetwork node 🗲 ln1.satoshilabs.com experienced large-scale #DDoS attack peaking at 13Gbps. Attacker didn't do proper due diligence though, after years of operating one of most attacked service on this planet, we don't give a shit.

    One small step for @TREZOR, one giant leap for mankind; Now #ModelT has "0" on PIN pad!

    Friend of mine just honestly asked me why is the community so divided instead of focused on making progress together. Well, coding is hard but tweeting easy.

    My other node is a @Blockstream satellite! Smoth experience so far. I also transmitted Bitcoin whitepaper over the satellite to my offline computer for just 198 sats. 👀👏

    It is exactly 7 years when I announced @slush_pool. We mined block #97834 on the same day. The pool has grown to a global company serving millions of customers since then. I want to thank all amazing people from #bitcoin who helped me in early days to start this amazing journey!

    Whoever Satoshi was, they didn’t want us to know.

    Did you know Bitcoin Cash doesn't like to be called Bcash? /s Thank you @BitcoinErrorLog, there were many priceless and eye-opening moments in your interview with @rogerkver
