“Although born within our subjective consciousness, the image of perfection expressed in the ideal points to an objective quality: through the ideal, man’s latent qualities tend to orient themselves outward and transform into acts and works in the world. The ideal is the path by which individual aspirations for happiness flow into the already-open furrows of external reality, leaving the glass dome of dreams and taking shape upon the greater stage of facts and things. Without a defined ideal, even the noblest aspirations remain mere dreams, because there is no immanent moral duty demanding they conform to reality, narrowing in scope so they may be realized in depth. Only the idealist is a realist; the others are either dreamers or cynics. Lacking a measure of what things ought to be, they see them as either better or worse than they are.” —Olavo de Carvalho, The Abandonment of Ideals (1987)

So the “big announcement” that’s been making the rounds on international Bitcoin Twitter is just another politician using #Bitcoin as a campaign prop? It’s about time to mute all these people who keep coming with a “huge Bitcoin announcement” every week. Bait after bait.

“I’m too early in #Bitcoin, because the world that will be built because of Bitcoin will happen after I’m gone." — Max Keiser

There are more than $1 billion in call options on the market betting that Bitcoin could reach $140,000 by December of this year. Another $985 million is wagering it could hit $200,000 by December 26.

I still can’t wrap my head around the Interim Prime Minister of Nepal being “elected” through Discord. Yes, you read that right — people decided who’s going to temporarily run the country via Discord. That’s insane 🤯

🚨The U.S. Payroll report was revised down by 911,000 jobs compared to what was initially reported. That’s nearly 1 million fewer jobs in the aggregate for the 12 months up to March of this year. The U.S. labor market is in much worse shape than reported.

One of the biggest reasons many people don’t understand #Bitcoin is that they don’t understand the root of the monetary problem. The U.S. took 220 years to reach $1 TRILLION in debt, but that same amount is now added every five months. The debt bubble keeps inflating. Protect yourself.

Marcus was responsible for the "Meta Blockchain" a few years ago and was the one researching its feasibility. After months of study at the company, using all available resources, he came to a conclusion: Only the #Bitcoin network can serve as the "internet of money."

⚔️ ORWELL vs HUXLEY Everyone loves quoting George Orwell (author of 1984). But it was Huxley’s fiction (Brave New World) that best predicted how the MEDIA has reprogrammed the FUTURE. Here are 5 things he predicted SPOT ON. They are 👇 Orwell feared the banning of books. Huxley feared the LACK of REASONS to ban them… once no one was interested in reading them anymore. Orwell feared that the truth could be HIDDEN from us. Huxley feared that it would be DROWNED in a sea of IRRELEVANCE 🌊 Orwell feared that we would become a REPRESSED culture. Huxley feared that we would become a TRIVIAL culture. Orwell warned of oppression imposed from the outside. Huxley saw no need for a Big Brother to strip people of their autonomy, maturity, and HISTORY. People would soon learn to LOVE OPPRESSION, to revere the technologies that “undid” their ability to think. In 1984, people are controlled through the application of PAIN ❌ In Brave New World, control is achieved through the application of PLEASURE ✅ It’s not what we HATE that leads us to ruin. It’s what we DESIRE most.

In the world of #Bitcoin, everything seems motionless until suddenly it all happens at once. “Slowly, then suddenly.” Just be patient and keep following your plan.

“If #Bitcoin goes over 100 thousand dollars, you can bet it will reach 1 million.” John McAfee Legend!!!

This is one of the hardest things for a new Bitcoin investor to wrap their head around. But at the same time, it’s one of the simplest to put into practice. Holding Bitcoin for more than 3 years gives you a 99.3% probability of making a profit. And yet, some people will still lose money out of impatience. Bitcoin is a machine that grinds down the impatient — once you understand that, everything changes. And you don’t need a guru to teach you some flashy strategy, you just need a well-defined plan.

This guy is going to collect a WHOLE BITCOIN just by picking up and reselling CANS for recycling. The "crypto scrapper" is a family man and has been a holder for years. If you think "you don’t have money to save," you need to know this story 👇

 Bruno is a family man from the countryside of São Paulo. His life changed when he discovered Bitcoin. For at least 2 years, he has been selling cans to stack satoshis. "Every week, even if it’s just 1 real, I save." 1 kilo of cans (70 units) yields about R$5.50. If collected daily, that’s R$165 per month—or 0.00026 ₿. In 3,842 months (a few centuries), if the price stays stable, the cans would yield a whole 1 BTC. This calculation illustrates the difficulty of becoming a "wholecoiner" nowadays and the importance of diversifying income sources. Bruno’s journey, it’s worth noting, began when prices were lower. Along the way, he wrote two educational books for his daughters. Proof of work is relentless. The wealth the "crypto scrapper" is building goes far beyond the satoshis he stacks. "Those who want to do it, do it; those who don’t, make excuses" 🤷‍♀️ If you have a friend who says “I don’t have money to save,” send them this story ✈️

What will really happen is that state-issued currencies will not completely disappear. They will become hyperinflationary, and that will be the new normal. They will still be used to pay taxes and denominate public debt, but they will be deeply inflationary due to the State’s financial situation: No State has the ability to pay its infinite debts to banks and its own people without turning on the printing press (and in the process destroying its currency, in which the debt is denominated, thereby reducing the real value of the debt). They will be far, far less relevant, but at least for the next 50 years they will not cease to exist.

The state never buys anything — it always steals. (Even when it “buys.”) U.S. Treasury Secretary says: “We will not buy” (Bitcoin); the reserve will only hold confiscated BTC.

Five years ago, MicroStrategy, a $1 billion company, faced ridicule for staking its treasury on Bitcoin, with critics forecasting disaster. Today, it has soared into a $112 billion powerhouse, gaining 11,200% and silencing doubters—proving that bold vision beats conventional skepticism.

🚨Trump is expected to sign an executive order that will officially allow the inclusion of Bitcoin in private retirement plans (401(k)s). The second-order effects remain to be seen, but this could potentially be bigger than ETFs—and maybe even bigger than BTCTC. The passive capital inflow from millions of people who have no idea what Bitcoin is could be massive. 401(k) funds hold over $7 TRILLION in financial assets. If just 10% of that capital rotates into BTC, we could see an estimated $3.6 TRILLION increase in Bitcoin’s market cap, assuming a 5x multiplier effect. Now, extrapolate that figure across the $43 trillion in total assets across all U.S. retirement plans.
