Completely overwhelmed by all the messages I have received since my statement.
As I continue my treatment and my recovery now know that I simply have to raise more awareness around mental health in the future
Best part of 6 weeks before the UK Championships starts and all being well I’ll be in a better place by then but for now it’s just one day at a time
Thanks again for all your support. It’s meant so so much to myself and my family

Sad news today. After 5 years of medical training, one of my mates has been struck off due to a minor discretion. He slept with one of his patients and can no longer do the job he loves. What a waste of time and money. Genuinely a great guy and a brilliant vet

There have been allegations that NatInfoSec and I are the same person, or that I am the author of some or all of his articles about Blockstream's alleged ponzi scheme. This is a complete and total lie, brought to you by friends of Andy like @JoeNakamoto and @coinjoined.
Two minutes of research will demonstrate that NatInfoSec has a long history as a security researcher, who has done good work like exposing fentanyl traffickers, Russian drone makers, etc. Link is in the reply.
Why are Joe and Chris not interested in getting to the bottom of the Blockstream allegations, instead of attempting to shoot the messenger? Looks like Joe just dropped Blockstream as a sponsor, so I think there's a good chance that he thinks NatInfoSec's allegations are actually correct, and that Joe is trying to distance himself slowly from Andy.
Bitcoiners will remember forever how Joe and Chris behaved this year-- and history will not be kind to their reputations as well
Isn’t it wild that “my body, my choice” covers abortion, but not a healthy boy’s body when adults want to turn him into a girl, and not your body when they wanted the shot in every arm?
Isn’t it wild that killing children is treated as the line you never cross… until the children are in Gaza or in Iranian classrooms?
Isn’t it wild that you’re told to give up meat to save the climate, while the same climate alarmists treat wars that burn cities, fuel, and supply chains as geopolitically necessary?
Isn’t it wild that all pedophiles go to prison, unless their last name ends with berg or stein, or they’ve been traveling with Lolita Express?
Isn’t it wild that women spent a century winning single-sex spaces and sports, and now saying so out loud is “hate”?
Isn’t it wild that “believe science” meant lock the schools and fire the nurses, but not “show us the long-term data on this intervention for kids”?

Bitcoin threatened the state’s most foundational power: the money printer.
The only sane starting point is therefore that state intelligence would spend huge resources trying to capture, dilute, and gimp it.
🚨 STOP SCROLLING! EVER HEARD OF LUCKY LARRY?
Here are 7 VERIFIABLE FACTS about Larry Silverstein and 9/11 that will make you shit bricks:
1. Lucky Larry signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade Center on July 24, 2001, only SIX WEEKS before 9/11.
2. The original WTC towers contained asbestos fireproofing that would have cost hundreds of millions to remove and replace. The complex was a money sink before the lease, and still, Lucky Larry leased it.
3. Lucky Larry secured about $3.5 billion in terrorism insurance, which is an unusually high amount for a lease just weeks before the attacks.
4. Almost unbelievably, Silverstein, who typically had breakfast at the North Tower every morning, skipped work on 9/11. His daughter and son, who also worked in the towers, happened to miss work that morning as well. The only time.
5. In addition to the Twin Towers, World Trade Center Building 7 also collapsed late in the afternoon on 9/11, despite not being hit by a plane. In a 2002 PBS documentary, Silverstein said: “Maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.” The building fell hours later – also in free fall.
6. After the attacks, Lucky Larry entered a massive legal battle with his insurers. His argument was that the two planes counted as two separate “occurrences,” effectively almost doubling his payout to $4.55 billion in insurance money.
7. The massive asbestos problem was gone, and Lucky Larry was $4.55 billion richer. More than 3,000 human beings lost their lives that day.
The lease timing. The insurance windfall. The quote. The collapse of Building 7. The skipped appointment. Something doesn’t smell right. And yet, Lucky Larry was never criminally charged or even investigated. Wondering why.

The US has stolen Venezuela's wealth. Israel is stealing more land in Gaza, West Bank and Lebanon. US are killing civilians in Iran. EU and Ukraine are murdering civilians in Russia.
That's all fact.
Imagine trying to pretend we are the good guys. It's insane arrogance.
Everything okay @mattkratter ? No video in 2 days. #concerned
I’m a drunk idiot 😂
Replying to @CatoTheElder17 @mattkratter
It’s a nice idea but with all that’s gone on recently you think a nation state cares about bitcoin?
Why am I paying taxes on my paycheck… then sales tax just to spend that money… then income tax on money that’s already been taxed… then property tax on land I bought with taxed money after paying sales tax on it… then vehicle tax just to drive to work… gas tax to fill the tank… energy tax to keep the lights on… death tax when I die… and God help me if I try to save any cash, because they’ll just inflate that away too.

PSA: Potential Bitcoin PoW change Sunday. SHA2 miners should stop mining Saturday.
- @BitcoinKnots 29.4.1rc4 will be released tomorrow, setup for mainnet rehearsal. This locks-in the final SHA2 block.
- After NYPost updates their Sunday morning print online, I'll post the canonical blake2b_headline parameter.
- If things go perfectly, Knots 29.4.1 final will be released Sep 1 on schedule, keeping the Aug 30 blockchain.
- If there's any issues (unlikely at this point), we address them and reset to the last SHA2 block for rc5.
If you intend to mine from day 1, I recommend getting setup with testnet4 (rc3) _now_ so you're ready for mainnet on Sunday.
