A lot of people tell me #bitcoin is a waste of time why stack something you can’t hold a whole one and rather buy things that you can afford to get a whole one like shitcoins or stocks But I think they’re falling for unit bias and failing to understand the value of a scarce asset and how pricing in Satoshis work! There is no stock or shitcoin that’s holding its value against Satoshis

Arsenal continue their fine start to the premier league with their 4th win in 4, it wasn't an easy game against fulham, and having to come to from behind showed some real character from the team to rally and take all 3 points.
