🌟 What Would a World with Unmanipulable Money Look Like?*🌟 This week in the Orange Hatter Reading Club, we dove into Chapter 13 of @Seb Bunney The Hidden Cost of Money and had one of our most thought-provoking discussions yet. We explored what society could look like with a money system that’s non-dilutable and non-manipulable. Imagine this: - People could save confidently, without worrying about their money losing value over time. - Risky investments wouldn’t feel like a *requirement* to keep up with inflation. - Businesses would need to run more responsibly, knowing there are no government bailouts waiting in the wings. - Creative destruction could flourish, allowing outdated businesses to step aside for fresh innovation. - And perhaps most importantly—parents could spend more time with their kids instead of working tirelessly to stay ahead of inflation. Of course, we couldn’t talk about this without diving into the big question: *What does Bitcoin’s future look like now that big players are entering the space?* Let’s just say, the debate was lively and rigorous! We didn’t all agree, but that’s what makes our discussions so valuable—every viewpoint was heard and respected. Next week marks the final meeting of this reading session, and we’re thrilled to welcome **Seb Bunney** himself for a meet-and-greet with our members! After weeks of unpacking his book, celebrating its conclusion with the author will be a special treat. If you’ve been thinking about joining Orange Hatter, this is your moment! Next Monday is the perfect time to jump in and see what we’re all about. DM me or comment below for the private link to our group. Let’s reimagine the future of money together. 💬📖✨ #moneyliteracy #orangehatter

To truly change the world, we must start by reaching the children. They are not only the future leaders but also the future followers. And to prepare them for both roles, we must focus on two essential elements: building a strong character and instilling a deep understanding of money and finance. After all, our financial system touches every aspect of life. But how do we achieve this? First, we help children develop intrinsic self-confidence—something that can only come from kindness and compassion toward others. This is how humans are wired; true self-worth is built through genuine acts of goodwill, not from external rewards like stickers or prizes. The joy that comes from helping others strengthens a child’s inner resilience and self-esteem, creating a foundation that no outside force can shake. Next, we teach them how the world of money works. With a grounded sense of self and a clear understanding of financial realities, they’ll grow up to make informed choices rather than being swayed by propaganda or influenced by superficial narratives. While some believe that Bitcoin alone can change the world, I disagree. This world wasn’t built with money—it was built by the hearts and minds of human beings. To truly create a fairer, more empowered future, we must first fortify the heart with inner strength and then enrich the mind with relevant knowledge and understanding. Only then will we see the change we all want: a world where empowered individuals lead with wisdom and integrity. Check out super-kay.com for resources. #moneyliteracy

Highlights from the Orange Hatter Reading Club this week studying The Hidden Cost of Money by @Seb Bunney. Last meeting was powerful, and I can’t stop thinking about our conversations. Imagine learning the truth about things we’ve trusted for years—like the food pyramid our parents believed in, only to find out it wasn’t actually healthy. It’s tough to see them trying to unlearn what they thought was right, especially when they’re now facing health issues from a lifetime of poor eating and relying on prescription drugs. It’s the same with money. We tackled a big question: *Can Bitcoin really fix the world?* Some of us think it could be a game-changer for everything—health, education, freedom—while others see it as just a tool that big players might still control. With central banks, big institutions and nation-states involved, will Bitcoin still really be “the people’s money”? We even wondered if, in the end, Bitcoin will help close the wealth gap or if those in power will just own most of it. We didn’t all agree, but it was refreshing to share different ideas without worrying about “polite” correctness. One topic hit close to home—*how we’re raising kids today.* Will they have the strength of character necessary to think on their own, or are we raising a generation of followers? This is why I believe so much in teaching kids about money *and* building their character. It’s more than just “saving money”—it’s about raising kids who think for themselves and question things, like whether inflation has to be part of life or if banks really hold all the power. And the IMF discussion? Wow. It shocked us all to learn just how much wealth has been taken from developing countries in the name of “help.” The truth hit hard—these countries end up worse off, while powerful groups profit from their debt. And then there’s the BIS…an organization few people even know about, yet it controls so much of the world’s money. Learning this opened our eyes to just how much happens that we don’t even see.

On Monday night, I returned to the Orange Hatter Reading Club meeting after a brief hiatus due to family emergencies. Even though I had kept up with our current book, “The Hidden Cost of Money” by @Seb Bunney diligently highlighting and making notes, I was amazed at how much more I gained from our group discussion. The power of verbal exchange, debating different viewpoints, and relating the material to current events and personal experiences cannot be overstated. It truly deepened my understanding and absorption of the book’s content in ways I hadn’t anticipated. To all the women out there eager to enhance their financial knowledge: • Engage in meaningful discussions • Share diverse perspectives • Connect theory to real-life situations • Build a supportive community of like-minded individuals Don’t miss out on this opportunity to your understanding of money.

I know many American families who don’t have insurance. When their kids get sick or hurt, their first question isn’t, “Where can I go to get the best care for my baby?” It’s, “How am I going to afford care for my baby?” Meanwhile, those close to the money printer keep promising all kinds of “free” stuff to other people. Can you blame these parents for being angry? At the Orange Hatter reading club, we’re diving into The Hidden Cost of Money by @Seb Bunney to unpack how our monetary system got here and what we might actually do about it. If you’re curious and want to join the conversation with other like-minded people, check out www.orangehatter.com/reading-club Our next meetup is Monday—hope to see you there! Come even if you haven't read the chapter or the first half of the book.

Many of you who’ve tuned into my podcast interviews have heard me say: if I were still homeschooling, I wouldn’t be here talking with you today. My focus would be entirely on my kids, their education, and their well-being. I started my journey with Free Market Kids and Orange Hatter initiatives only after my kids graduated and my time freed up. But this week was a reminder of those intense parenting days—one of my kids was unwell, and suddenly, my work had to take a back seat. Juggling my work with Orange Hatter and Free Market Kids became quite the challenge. I postponed the reading club several times before finally asking a member to step in as facilitator. My mind just couldn’t stay focused on work while worrying about my child’s health and figuring out how to help them feel better. This week made me realize just how tough it is for working parents, constantly juggling both roles. I was lucky enough, with my husband’s support and our ability to live on one income, to stay home and homeschool. To all of you balancing it day in and day out—I see you, and I’m in awe. It takes resilience, patience, and so much love. You’re appreciated, and your work is nothing short of amazing. Be encouraged; you’re doing something truly impactful every single day. 👏

Highlight from this week’s Orange Hatter reading club discussing Chapter 7 of @Seb Bunney's The Hidden Cost of Money: Our money system affects how politicians act. They often choose to fix short-term problems because the system rewards quick fixes. This creates more rules and takes away our rights and freedom. The people hurt most by this are those living paycheck to paycheck. They feel the struggle and vote for immediate help rather than thinking about long-term effects. This leads to more government control, including limits on how we can spend our money. So, when we vote to ease short-term pain, we unknowingly invite more economic control. Join us next week!

Highlight from this week’s orange hatter meeting discussing Chapter 7 of @Seb Bunney 's The Hidden Cost of Money: How can we make sure those in power stay accountable to the people they serve? According to Jörg Guido Hülsmann, a German economist, the trick is to make the government rely on its citizens for money. But since the government can print endless amounts of cash, it doesn't really need us for funds. Because of this, the balance of power has moved away from the people and towards those in charge.

Highlight from our discussion of Chapter 6 of The Hidden Cost of Money by @Seb Bunney this week inside the Orange Hatter Reading Club: As professional moms, we’re constantly juggling—careers, kids, and keeping our families secure. But what about the long-term economic future our children will inherit? Here’s the cycle we’re seeing today: ➡️ Government intervention misallocates capital. ➡️ Misallocated capital fuels reckless, unproductive behavior. ➡️ That behavior triggers even more regulation. ➡️ The regulations try to fix the very mess intervention created in the first place. Sound familiar? This cycle of policy-driven problems is shaping the future our kids will face. It’s time to take a step back and understand what’s really going on. Join me and other like-minded moms in our Reading Group, where we dive into these topics and discuss how we can better prepare for the financial world our children will grow up in. Knowledge is power, and together, we can ensure our families are equipped for what lies ahead. 👉 Interested in joining the conversation?

🧡 I just wrapped up an inspiring session with the Orange Hatter Mastermind Group, and I couldn’t wait to share some insights! 🧡 As Bitcoin entrepreneurs, we often find ourselves navigating unique challenges—especially when it comes to balancing our desire for privacy with the need to connect with customers. It can feel like an intense game of cat and mouse! 😅 Tonight, we delved into a topic that resonates deeply: the fears that hold us back from being visible as leaders in our field. The question we posed was, “What would we do if we had no fear?” While each of us had different answers, they all pointed towards one common theme: stepping into the spotlight. ✨ What I truly cherish about our Orange Hatter community is the unwavering support we provide one another. We hold each other accountable as we face these challenges together, empowering one another to embrace visibility and authenticity in our businesses. 🤗 There’s truly no other space like the Bitcoin entrepreneur community. It’s dynamic, exhilarating, and daunting. Who else is ready to step out of the shadows and into their power? Let’s embrace this journey together! 🚀 #orangehatter

🌸 Is Government Intervention Hurting More Than It Helps? Let's Talk About It. At our latest reading club meeting, we dug into Chapter 6 of The Hidden Cost of Money by @Seb Bunney, and wow—did it resonate with our experiences! From zombie companies that survive on government support to how increased regulation burdens businesses, we covered it all. One member shared how she left teaching because administrative layers kept getting in the way of what really mattered—her students. Another member expressed her frustration over a family member’s job at a government-supported company with mediocre work quality, while hard-working entrepreneurs struggle to make their businesses succeed. We were all especially troubled by Bunney’s example of pharmaceutical mergers driving up medicine prices. It left us questioning the ethics of prioritizing profits over people. 💊 If you’ve ever felt frustrated by bureaucracy, government support for failing businesses, or skyrocketing prices in critical industries, you're not alone. Join us in our reading club as we dive deeper into these important issues, share our personal stories, and work together to understand the impact of money on our lives. ✨ Comment below or DM me for details about our next meeting! Let’s discuss how we can build a better future, one chapter at a time. #Money Literacy #WomenEmpowerment
