The “science is always changing” yet the sCiEnCe doesn’t want to debate you, so how do we know science is always changing? 🤯🤡🌎

The year is 2023. We still let govt take our time & energy through property taxes to pay for outdated govt-run schooling. Literally no oversight & minimal opportunity to change. Incentives completely broken with #fiat #Bitcoin returns us to sound money aligning incentives. Start mobilizing and organizing using #nostr to turn this tide.

Societal decay summed up in 60 seconds: Where families once thrived in close-knit communities, where generations lived under one roof, and the wisdom of the elderly was revered, we now find ourselves caught in the whirlwind of a frenzied existence, detached from the core values that defined us for thousands of years; we work tirelessly for a mere paycheck, sacrificing the precious bonds with our loved ones, entrusting the education and upbringing of our children to distant institutions, as we strive to meet the ever-increasing demands of a corrupted monetary system that keeps us perpetually enslaved to the notion of financial security; the wise elders, with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are cast aside as society neglects to acknowledge the invaluable contributions they could make, allowing their wisdom to dissipate like whispers in the wind, while we foolishly pursue the elusive mirage of eternal youth and vitality; and as the sands of time continue to shift, we find ourselves consigning our elderly parents and relatives to the impersonal halls of group homes, alienating them from the warmth and love they once knew, all in the name of progress and convenience, forsaking the sanctity of familial bonds and shattering the intergenerational connections that once nurtured us; in this relentless pursuit of financial security and materialistic desires, we lose sight of what truly matters, trading the joy of togetherness for the fleeting pleasures of an empty consumerism, leaving our children stranded in a desert of neglect and isolation, deprived of the guidance and affection they so desperately need, as we chase after the elusive dream of success, unwittingly sacrificing the very essence of our humanity, disconnecting from the fundamental values that have sustained civilizations for centuries, and succumbing to the hollow promises of future that values “owning nothing” and thinking that will bring “happiness” above the sacred bonds of family and community. 🤡🌎

WE FOUND ANOTHER PLAYABLE CHARACTER! 😉 One of the deepest thinkers in #bitcoin that most don't know yet...but they WILL. Thanks @Dante_Cook1 for helping me think about things in ways I didn't think I could. More importantly for being a great friend.🙏

I have to share this message I received from Ken McElroy in his newsletter. I think it’s very pertinent to the times we’re living in and I had to share in my blog. He is a Rich Dad Advisor for Robert Kiyosaki and is one of the smartest real estate and entrepreneurial minds that I know. He often shares things that are real estate or business related. Today he shared something even more profound. When you find people that are very good at something you would be smart to study them and observe what they do. One of the greatest benefits of the lockdowns is that it forced many of the smartest minds in the world on to the internet. Ken was one of those people. Someone who rarely showed his face or made any content. Now there are hundreds and thousands of people like him that are now available to learn from. Enjoy! ————— From Ken McElroy - In today’s society, I have noticed people don’t value relationships like they used to. People hop from job to job, they stop talking to friends, and even family members. They are so self-absorbed that they don’t really think about the importance of the relationships they have in their life. They want to get from point A to point B, but they don’t stop and think about who helped them get there. The most successful people I know value and cherish relationships. Relationships are important. Whether in business, personal, or likewise. Business relationships bring opportunity and the relationship you choose to have with your friends and family can bring happiness. Throughout my life, I have leveraged the relationships I have built. In fact, I was hired on my first job as a property manager with no experience through a friend of mine. He worked for someone who needed a property manager and referred me. He referred me because we had a good relationship and I was a good. I then did a great job as a property manager and leveraged my relationship with my boss to get a better job. I have done this my whole life. I built my career as a young man who didn’t have a dime in my pocket to where I am now by valuing the people I have met. Some have helped me and others I have helped. It works both ways. Value the relationships you have. Whether in business or in your personal life. These relationships will bring you happiness and opportunities. Don’t ever burn a bridge, because burning bridges will get you stuck while building and repairing bridges will always lead to further growth. ———————— This was too good not to share. My parents alway told me not to burn bridges and to do the right thing and it has served me very well in my life in getting to the highest levels. Business and life doesn't have to be cutthroat if you don’t want it to be. You make life what you want it to be. I hope you found something from this as it resonated with me and reinforced for me the importance of slowing down and taking a breath to understand what is TRULY important around me. Stay strong.

Stop Burning Bridges

Completely Lost What Is Important In Society

“Infinite banking” is big in the life insurance industry. Would you rather participate in compounding 3-6% returns and a 3rd party still controlling your wealth? Or would you rather infinite #bitcoin & borrow instantly against your asset that appreciates ~100% CAGR?

When you buy #bitcoin you are selling dollars. Or said a different way… Buying the new world and selling the old crumbling world. #[1]

In the age of consumerism and economic disparity, one critical tool remains conspicuously absent from the arsenal of educational institutions: financial literacy. As we delve in to this world of personal finance, a perplexing truth emerges—a truth deliberately concealed from the masses. We know this is a problem and yet we still don nothing and remain uninvolved for our most precious asset; our children. Please join me as I continue to unravel the ills of our society and what we can do to fix them. Please share this out with as many people as possible as the algorithms hate truth, and we are our own best hope. Reason 1: Perpetuation of Consumerism In a world driven by relentless advertising and unquenchable desires, ignorance is not only bliss but also profitability. The powers that be understand this all too well. By obfuscating financial literacy from the curriculum, they ensure a steady flow of malleable consumers—individuals ill-equipped to resist the siren call of materialism. Without the necessary knowledge to navigate the deep waters of personal finance, the masses become easy prey, falling into the clutches of impulsive spending, mounting debts, and an insatiable appetite for unnecessary possessions. Financial illiteracy sustains the cycle of consumerism, serving the interests of those who profit from our collective ignorance. Reason 2: Preservation of Economic Inequality As the world grapples with widening economic disparities, the absence of financial literacy in schools plays a pivotal role in maintaining the status quo. Those in positions of power and privilege understand that knowledge is power—an understanding they use to their advantage. By withholding financial education from marginalized communities and low-income individuals, the system perpetuates a deeply-rooted inequality that denies them the opportunity to break free from the shackles of financial adversity. It is through this deliberate exclusion that the divide between the haves and have-nots continues to grow, leaving the disadvantaged struggling while the privileged prosper. Reason 3: Influence of Special Interest Groups Behind the scenes, hidden hands manipulate the educational landscape, ensuring the absence of financial literacy remains steadfast. Special interest groups, including banks, credit card companies, and financial institutions, revel in the financial illiteracy of the masses. With each passing day, those making the rules profit from our ignorance, exploiting unsuspecting consumers through hidden fees, exorbitant interest rates, and endless financial products. Their nefarious grip on the system tightens as financial education remains a distant dream. By evading the light of financial literacy, these entities safeguard their control and preserve their stranglehold on the unsuspecting masses. As the veneer of deception slowly lifts, we gain insight into the insidious reasons behind the omission of financial literacy from schools. The perpetuation of consumerism, the preservation of economic inequality, and the influence of special interest groups form the foundation of this dark conspiracy. However, knowledge is power, and by recognizing the machinations that conspire against us, we can begin to challenge the system. Please stay tuned as we uncover more layers of this captivating tale, shedding light on the hidden truths that shape our financial world. Remember, in a world where ignorance is bliss, it is crucial to arm ourselves with the tools of financial literacy and rise above the orchestrated ignorance that seeks to keep us in chains. What you don’t know can and will hurt you. The world has changed and we were put here specifically for this very time to change the world and make it a brighter place for all people. More coming on the General Education Board and John Rockefeller’s influence from the agrarian age into the industrial age and how it changed our family structures and livelihoods forever. Stay strong.

Are bitcoiners wrong for being with OK that SEC is coming after cryptos? Obviously this week has been crazy and some of my thoughts…the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed lawsuits against major cryptocurrency exchanges, Coinbase and Binance. While some individuals within the Bitcoin and crypto community may have mixed feelings about this development, it is important to understand the underlying principles that make Bitcoin unique and why it continues to thrive in the face of regulatory challenges. The Freedom of Bitcoin: Bitcoin stands apart from other cryptocurrencies because it is more than just a digital asset. It represents freedom of speech and is built on a foundation of code, functioning as a decentralized protocol. This means that there is no central authority or leader who can be influenced, corrupted, or silenced. Bitcoin's true believers dedicate their lives to protecting this code and its principles, ensuring its longevity and resilience. Regulation and Bitcoin: While some may view the SEC's actions as an infringement on personal liberties, it is worth noting that consistency in applying existing rules can have positive implications. Even if one questions the legitimacy of the SEC and its regulatory power, it is possible to acknowledge the significance of cracking down on scam projects that deceive and harm individuals. Consistency allows for people to make sound decisions when one knows the landscape. This nuanced perspective allows us to recognize the benefits of regulation while also questioning its necessity. Bitcoin's Fundamentals and Growth: Bitcoin's underlying fundamentals have never been stronger. The increasing number of Bitcoin wallets and the growth of its hash rate, which represents the computational power securing the network, attest to its expanding user base and overall network strength. Moreover, governments worldwide are recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender, further solidifying its position as a viable and trustworthy monetary system. Security and Auditing: One of Bitcoin's remarkable qualities is its transparency and security. Individuals have the ability to run their own nodes and independently audit the code and software. The Bitcoin network is the most scrutinized and secure computer network in existence. The confidence in its protocol has led many to invest their time, capital, and energy into Bitcoin, as they believe in its potential for long-term value. Bitcoin vs. Crypto Exchanges: It is important to distinguish Bitcoin from the broader category of cryptocurrencies and the centralized exchanges where these assets are traded. Bitcoin's true essence lies in its decentralized protocol, which is separate from the operations of exchanges and other cryptos/altcoins. While centralized exchanges can play a role in facilitating the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies, they have nothing to do with Bitcoin itself. In the end: Bitcoin's resilience and value stem from its decentralized nature, its ability to protect freedom of speech, and the robustness of its underlying protocol. As we navigate regulatory challenges and witness Bitcoin's continued growth, it is crucial to understand its unique qualities and remain vigilant in protecting and promoting the principles that make it a revolutionary force in the world of finance. Remember, #Bitcoin is not just another crypto asset—it represents a fundamental shift in the way we perceive and interact with money (our time and energy) and freedom. Stay strong.

In to the breach. Remember why you fight. Life is a test. Will you stand or will you shrivel up in the moment of truth?

Insurance companies will all be buying #bitcoin  hardcore in the coming years or they will all go bankrupt and sink with the US treasury market. Tick tock.

IMO, what scares “leaders” at the top of the money stack is in a #bitcoin world they now have to compete with the 170 IQ person in Africa that they easily locked out of the system before. #btc levels playing field & scares living daylights out of incumbent corp & politicians

The current modern-day situation we find ourselves in because of post-modernism and moral relativism. 🤯🤯🤯👀👀👀 In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the perception of contradictory information and the mental toll of it. Relevant items of information include a person's actions, feelings, ideas, beliefs, values, and things in the environment. Cognitive dissonance is typically experienced as psychological stress when persons participate in an action that goes against one or more of those things. According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein the individual tries to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort. - From wiki

Together, they weave a tapestry of innovation that would make even the most eccentric Silicon Valley startup blush. Prepare to be amazed, for this is a community unlike any other.

As Bitcoin's value ascends to dizzying heights, these merry jesters will be the ones jingling their digital pockets with laughter. Wealth, Power, and the Bitcoin Revolution Watch in awe as the grand stage of finance undergoes a comical metamorphosis. The crumbling fiat system, weighed down by its own inadequacies, trembles at the rise of Bitcoin. With each surge in value, Bitcoiners inch closer to wielding unrivaled wealth and power. In this uproarious twist of fate, governments may find themselves on the receiving end of a digital coup d'état. Lights, camera, decentralization! The Moral Safeguards of the Bitcoiners Behold, the heroes of integrity! Dictators and despots recoil in fear as they encounter Bitcoiners armed with unyielding moral compasses. Behind the laughter and camaraderie lies a profound dedication to principles. This fortress of virtue ensures that the Bitcoin revolution stands tall against manipulation and corruption.

Cheers to a world where jesters of the citadels hold the keys to the kingdom, and Bitcoin's reign sparkles with mirth and prosperity. Let the comedy unfold! Stay strong.

What sets many #bitcoiners apart… I believe certain people namely those in #bitcoin can see patterns very well. We can recognize them easily and correlate to what we have seen in the past and how it relates to the future. This is why so many of us struggle to teach educate and speak to the average person. It’s like we are speaking a foreign language to them. In order to OrangePill people it takes time and we must meet them where they are. 💪🏻

🤯 Incepting bitcoin in to the public conscious through politics… ☄️ In today's political landscape, the power of inception cannot be underestimated. The more politicians discuss a particular topic, the more it permeates the collective consciousness. Whether we like it or not, people still turn to politicians for guidance. Harnessing this dynamic to our advantage is crucial. Bitcoin has the power to transform not only our financial systems but also the politicians themselves. As they become familiar with this revolutionary technology, it holds the potential to reshape the size and influence of government, returning freedom, liberty, and wealth to the hands of the people. • The Power of Local Engagement • Embracing the truth that all politics is local is a vital step towards reclaiming control. By actively participating in local meetings and understanding the candidates running for office, we can enact meaningful change. Following the golden rule and embodying the principles we believe in, we can begin to question the necessity of government itself. Bitcoin provides a path to realign incentives, empowering individuals and restoring power to the people. • The Broken Money and Aligned Incentives • When a broken monetary system drives up costs and erodes the value of our currency, its impact reverberates throughout society. For example: Farmers, in their struggle to sustain their businesses and livelihoods, are forced to make compromises. They resort to using cheaper ingredients, often with unforeseen consequences for our health and the environment. The cycle continues as these compromises perpetuate and degrade the quality of our food supply. Aligning incentives through Bitcoin provides an alternative, fostering nutrient-rich and wholesome products that prioritize the well-being of individuals and the planet. • The Power of the Vote• A common contention arises among libertarians and non-voters who seek to distance themselves from government intervention. However, as Plato shrewdly pointed out, abstaining from voting only ensures that those with opposing ideals will determine the course of governance. By exercising our right to vote, we can influence the political landscape and work towards minimizing the role of government in our lives therefore increasing liberty and prosperity. It is through orange-pilling politicians, enlightening them about the potential of Bitcoin, that we can gradually reduce the size and impact of government, navigating the chaos towards a brighter future. • A Catalyst for Good • In this journey towards reclaiming control, Bitcoin emerges as a catalyst for change. By leveraging the power of inception and embracing the significance of local engagement, we can reshape the political landscape. Aligned incentives, facilitated by Bitcoin, enable us to transcend the limitations of a broken monetary system and forge a path towards greater well-being and prosperity. It is through collective action of individuals, fueled by a shared vision, that we can navigate the collateral damage of the 4th turning transition and emerge stronger on the other side. Let us seize the current political situation and steer the course towards a brighter, freer, and more prosperous future. Stay strong.

The older I get the more and more I enjoy paying with my time and energy for experiences. Funny how that works.

🇺🇸 All Gave Some. Some Gave All. 🇺🇸 My entire life I have felt guilty that I did not serve in the military. Something inside of me has never let me get over that feeling. I loved playing hockey as a kid and when I learned about the US national team, I quickly gravitated toward that, and that became my purpose to “don the sweater” of the United States and serve my country in that way. I completed that goal, but the feeling of guilt still never left my body, as it has not today. There’s a certain fire or a crucible that must be conquered in a man’s life. I’m not sure if it’s a sense of duty or wanting to serve others or protect others but it’s always been there at least for me. So I want to take this time to acknowledge and thank those who have put their life in harm’s way for our benefit. Acknowledge those who have laid down their life for me and my family’s benefit. Acknowledge those who have sacrificed so much and those who have sacrificed even a little in order that me, my family and my children might have a better and more free and prosperous life. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to properly thank or pay back all of those people. I hope in some way selfishly the work I am doing now to try and question everything and bring education to the masses using first principles and logic (to the best of my ability) is at least a fraction of the repayment I can offer. “All gave some, and some gave all,” may be my favorite line when it comes to remembering those who heroically served in order that we may enjoy our lives in this great country. It is all those men and women who have served in the Armed Forces who give credibility and order to this world It’s those men and women that give the world a sense of security and peace that humans had not known for thousands of years. Those men and women navigating the waters or flying the dangerous skies or marching around in search of an unknown predator. It is those people (so many will never be known or forgotten), who give us the chance to live lives where we will know no such danger. I thank you and I hope that you get all the rewards love and respect you deserve. Have a beautiful memorial day, and God bless America! Brandon
