Happy Canada Day! Especially to fellow Bitcoiners, and crypto folks. Remember that the earliest Bitcoin and Ethereum had many OGs from the Greater Toronto Area and Waterloo. A country full of peace loving, hard working people. From West to East Canada 🇨🇦 is full of natural resources, beautiful mountains and impressive flora and fauna. I particularly love the beaver and maple 🍁 syrup, especially from Quebec.

The GENIUS Act and Stablecoin Growth The GENIUS Act was approved by the Senate on June 17, 2025, with a 68-30 vote, it's not law yet, but President Trump supports it, and it will accelerate cryptocurrency acceptance worldwide. If it becomes law, a huge competitor to banks, and money transmitters like Western Union will arrive. News source: image

MIPA - Make Iran Persia Again I will never forget the reaction from a friend of mine in Toronto when someone called her Iranian. She got mad and said I am Persian! A great kingdom with a long history. In her honor I remind everyone how Persia was before radical Muslims took over.

The Space Race & the AI Race While reading the history of Sputnik, the first satellite ever launched by the human race in late 1957 and how it ignited the space race between the USA 🇺🇸 and the Soviet Union, I noticed plenty of parallels the AI Race between USA 🇺🇸 and China 🇨🇳. I do recommend you read the history of this momentous occasion that most of us did not witness, but the echos continue to this day. image

DELEGATION IS A POTENTIAL WEAKNESS, SOMETIMES IT CAN BE FATAL CAREFUL WHAT YOU DELEGATE When you delegate the effort of finding the truth about a critical subject such as your investments, your own nutrition and health, the safety of a vaccine, or reasons to enter a war YOU WILL PAY A HIGH PRICE. Beware, when you trust authorities or an AI you have handed down to others your own health, your finances and perhaps even your life. The reason for deception is usually corruption, someone benefits from lying to you. Delegate the small inconsequential things, like who starred on a movie, or what foods contain vitamin D, but never delegate what truly matters. This is one more reason why you must hold your keys, and only have a small part of your Bitcoin, or any cryptocurrency in a Centralized Exchange. Make the effort to discover the truth, because Truth will protect you. When the stock market crashes you will be safe, when people demand war you will be a peacemaker. DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS and you will live a LONGER, HAPPIER LIFE. image

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.
