Read Robert Kiyosaki’s warnings. Heed his advice. The tempest is near. The rise of Bitcoin and gold is a consequence of the downgrade in US debt, and increase in Bond Yields.

A WARNING TO THE FREEDOM LOVING BITCOIN COMMUNITY We all see how giant hedge funds who once hated and ridiculed Bitcoin suddenly pretend to love it, and invest fortunes to buy it. Why? Like you, I've always sensed a trap is being set. After much thinking, I could not come up with anything, and then I appealed to God in Heaven and prayed. This is His inspiration, a WARNING to those who truly want Bitcoin to stand for Freedom and Personal Sovereignty: Bitcoin, and by that I mean the decentralized medium of exchange, and store of value is now under a sophisticated attack that looks like good news, but it is not. This attack is headed by huge hedge-funds and corporations and is headed by Blackrock. Let me explain at a high level how the attack is happening, and what will happen next if we don't stop it. The attack on Bitcoin is a repeat of the pattern that happened when the US Dollar became first banned from being held by private individuals, and eventually was completely detached from Gold. How did that start? First by capturing all the Gold by decree, President Franklin D. Roosevelt did that on on April 5, 1933 with Executive Order 6102. Next by severing completely the ability to convert US Dollar to Gold which happened in 1971 with Nixon. What we are experiencing is a variation on that strategy. We are entering phase 1, taking all the Bitcoin into custody of Financial Behemoths, and creating debt instruments to leverage it, pay margin to those that give their Bitcoin for custody, and financial engineering to use Bitcoin for profit, not for exchange. In all these cases the keys are held by financial institutions. As this phase 1 grows fewer and fewer will hold Bitcoin, and instead of being decentralized it becomes captured. Phase 1 includes the influence, or control of the developers behind Bitcoin Core by those huge hedge funds and financial institutions. Phase 2 will be the eventual complete digitalization of Bitcoin, and a mandate that only centralized exchanges can approve its use. We are on a trajectory to destroy Bitcoin's goal: decentralized finance, and economic power to the people. The main way to stop this is to make Bitcoin useful as a medium of exchange again, and to make sure no political party ever endorses stronger AML controls, and laws against holding your Bitcoin yourself. So every project that uses real Bitcoin for a medium of exchange, and decentralizes it can block this plan if it reaches critical mass, and wide adoption. image

Bitcoin as a medium of exchange has tremendous value because it makes it immediately useful, it makes Bitcoin valuable to anyone, not just investors. Steak ‘n Shake accepts Bitcoin in America 🇺🇸 , that is very good news.

Coinbase Hack Reveals Very Poor Security Practices The main problem is the way Coinbase does not secure the KYC information of their customers. It should be extremely hard to get the personal information of customers, and it seems it was very easy to get it and sell it. Banks in particular are very good at saving credit card information, and personal identifying information, they are seldom hacked. Clearly Coinbase did a bad job at this, and should learn from the security experts in traditional finance. Governments demand for KYC does not improve security, in fact it makes it worse for everyone involved, especially those who give their information to centralized exchanges. More reason for people to use Decentralized Exchanges far more than the Centralized ones like Coinbase. I urge people to consider and use alternatives like Uniswap, Bisq, Meteora, Raydium, or Thorchain, and to minimize the use of Centralized Exchanges. image

COINBASE HACKED BY BRIBES FOR KYC DATA OF CUSTOMERS "Coinbase Could Pay Customers Up to $400M for Data Breach, The exchange fired staff involved in the breach on the spot and will press criminal charges." KYC weaponized, lack of privacy is a constant danger for all customers. image

@poststr it’s easy to post a message on the blockchain now thanks to you. But how can we read the messages in the OP_RETURN field? Meaning given an address that has a message how do we parse it to read it.

I saw a guy coding today. No Cursor. No Windsurf. No ChatGPT. No Claude. No Gemini, not a single LLM. He just sat there. Typing code. Sipping coffee. His eyes lost in code. Like a psychopath. A Hacker among us. image

OP_RETURN LESSON Wake up and Smell the Coffee ☕️ Realizing that Bitcoin is Software, that software needs developers, that developers need to be paid and that your beliefs about Bitcoin don’t pay the bills is a good thing. If you want to influence Bitcoin’s open source code PAY THE DEVELOPERS of Core Bitcoin. image

Many years ago when Akiane Kramarik was 8 years old she had a vision about Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Her talent as a painter then created the only picture that reminds me of the Jesus depicted in the Turin Shroud, her vision could truly be our King of Kings. Have a blessed Sunday. image
