Host of "Playable Characters" interviewing pioneers, big brains, and plebs of Bitcoin! 👇 | BTC class ‘18 ☢️ | Former Pro-Hockey Player🏒
Aleks Svetski: Saving humanity by building AI Large Language Models that tell truth using #Bitcoin Aleks Svetski sat down with me to discuss his recent work in AI and the mission of Spirit of Satoshi plus the collaboration with Bitcoin Trading Cards. Aleks shares his perspective on the wealth gap and our inverted relationship with power and the importance of wielding it responsibly. He emphasizes the need to build real wealth and create value in order to support the growth of Bitcoin. He envisions a future where governance structures resemble a meritocratic, capitalistic feudalism. Finally, he reflects on the current state of society and suggests that future generations may view this era as a modern dark age.

People become poor for many reasons but the biggest is that ppl are saving currency that they think is money. Saving a liability they have been told is an asset. A federal reserve note (debt) that is owed back to the Fed, WITH interest. The US dollar ceased being money in 1971. It’s not a mistake that financial literacy is not taught in government-run schools… The last 15-20 years have made this clear to me from observation and experience. Saving in #Bitcoin turns the entire system on its head and puts the people in control and removes the power wielded by the legacy institutions.
Lawrence Lepard: #Bitcoin HODL'ers will become the wealthiest people in the world. Here’s how and what that looks like… I had the honor to sit down with the one and only Larry Lepard… He discusses the recent approval of Bitcoin ETFs and explores the odds of a 6102 scenario, where the government could attempt to confiscate Bitcoin. The importance of self-custody and the need to be prepared for potential risks. The conversation explores the themes of government manipulation and rule changes, the misunderstanding of government and power, the need for a reset, the potential wealth and political power of Bitcoiners, the altruistic nature of #Bitcoiners, the trajectory of Bitcoin's price, the multiplier effect and Bitcoin's market cap, deflation and its misunderstandings, and the transition to hyperbitcoinization.

Brandon Keys: Building #Bitcoin business, macro guys get this wrong, 100 year loans coming, Peter Schiff, etc.. I had the pleasure to sit down with this super sharp dude, former track athlete and engineer from the University of Memphis who is building a unique platform for bitcoiners to learn about financial literacy and #BTC education from someone who sees life through the lens of Bitcoin. Brandon shares his journey into Bitcoin, starting the Green Candle (@Greencandleit) media company, and his mission to make finance more accessible and enjoyable. He discusses the potential triggers for a collapse of the current system. Brandon emphasizes the importance of understanding the charade of the fiat system and the need for a more cheerful and relatable approach to educating people about Bitcoin. We talk about the breakdown of the American dream, the transition of power to #Bitcoiners, what macro folks miss in their analysis, plus the three cogs of #Bitcoin: philosophy, energy, and development AND lastly his love for some Bitcoin Trading Cards to orange pill the pre-coiners.

How Bitcoin completely changed my portfolio over the years and made me fire my real estate team to put all my energy in to advancing #bitcoin education. 👀
Jaw-dropping performance by Nancy Pelosi's call options in Nvidia in just over100 days, outshining legendary investors like Buffett and Dalio! 12 times her annual salary in one quarter… How do we fix this? #bitcoin
The profound implications of Bill C-63, a piece of legislation in Canada that has the power to reshape the landscape of our rights. This bill introduces the possibility of a staggering 25-year imprisonment for “online hate crimes.” What makes this even more concerning is Canada's historical role as a testing ground for initiatives that often find their way into other Western countries via the British Crown. Essentially, what's happening there could soon be on our own doorstep. The bill's definition of hate crimes is broad, encompassing factors like race, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity. What's particularly alarming is the accuser's ability to remain anonymous, essentially turning the legal process into a potential thought crime scenario. This trajectory towards moral relativism, where mere thoughts could lead to severe criminal charges, is beyond scary but just one in a long line of egregious acts that we have had to put up with. Beyond the specifics of Bill C-63, the importance of being vigilant and actively participating in shaping the trajectory of our societies. Electing the right individuals into power, especially at the local level, becomes a crucial step in resisting encroachments on our freedom. The video also touches on broader societal issues, such as the unsustainable trajectory of debt and challenges posed by fiat debt-based monetary systems. Many of us believe that Bitcoin is the answer but we are far from where we need to be. We still have “spaces” on Twitter where there are almost 5,000 people fighting about the two presidential candidates cognitive tests. Then right next to them is a room with 1/10th the audience talking about the root of the problem and the only solution humans have found that can potentially fix this disaster. I believe we must stand together and be vigilant as we still have a lot of educating to do and hard times in front of us as a society.
What has to happen in order for people to realize that the money you use or decide to store is just a choice? It takes a fraction of a second…
Bitcoin IS the asset humans have been waiting for. Bitcoin is considered the purest form of money in human history and has the potential to change civilization. Understanding the properties of money and the flaws of the current fiat debt based monetary system is crucial. Despite the slow “search” interest in Bitcoin, its fundamentals, such as hash rate and network users, continue to strengthen. PATIENCE is key in navigating the #Bitcoin journey, as it is a long-term savings tool. Bitcoin aligns incentives and aims to create a better financial system that benefits all people. Questioning the existing system and seeking truth is essential in this revolution.
This 76 seconds sums up the last century+ of gaslighting and mass formation by the ruling class. We are at the climax in the story. This decade will be wild as the ruling class thinks they are in control and how hard they try to come down on their people. All funded and ONLY possible through fiat currencies that governments coerce you to use (and we accept) that endlessly steal your wealth (inflation) so you have no power to fight back and the govt grows larger by the day which in contrasts makes the average person want to fight it less and less. Missions accomplished. The unearned power and authority the ruling class has is astonishing. The world is about to figure out some hard lessons...the people have the power and governments work for them. How many get caught up in the wash as collateral damage is the only remaining question as this tug of war plays out. The power struggle is as inevitable as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west. Hell, it already begun years ago, most of us just aren't aware of it yet. I cannot believe I get to be alive at a time like this where I get to play a small part in the light disinfecting the darkness and the plebs waking up to realize the true power lies with us... ⚡️🙏
I ONLY want to trade my finite time for finite assets. NOT trade my finite time for infinite pieces of paper/digits on a computer. MAKE A FAIR TRADE FOR YOURSELF. Study #Bitcoin
Getting objections on #Bitcoin is literally a mirror to your prior self. It’s comical and frustrating all the same time. Patience is certainly required and empathizing with the person that you were once in that position as well. We are early and that is a good thing as there’s much educating to be done. 🫡 image
As the unproductive class in Davos last week examined each other’s undercarriage and tried to find the recipe for “rebuilding trust” and locating the truth… We here think that it’s much easier than our “leaders” make it out to be. There are a few steps that it takes to figure out exactly how to get closer to the truth, and it starts with being honest in the first place. And maybe an understanding that there are, in fact, evil people in the world in positions of authority. I (as I am sure many of you reading this) have been called “crazy” and “extreme” over the years by friends and family. I have heard it all. But in the last few years (not so ironically, since 2020) I have had many of those same people come back to me and admit that they believe me now and couldn’t fathom there were evil people in positions of power. The story I tell everyone is that when I was a kid I played monopoly and I loved to be the banker. I would steal extra cash every time a transaction happened. Sounds like real life banks, right? I used to cheat every time I could and I was a kid! I had nothing to play for other than wanting to win. You don’t think sinners with all the fame, power, and fortune in the world at stake aren’t doing anything at all to sleight you? If not, then I have some beach front property in Nebraska to sell you. I don’t need ALL the info and facts to know exactly what is happening, I just need to be directionally correct. Like the late Charlie Munger would say, "show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcome." 👉 If there are weaknesses in the voting system, they will be exploited. 👉 If there is cash to be laundered in an opaque monetary system, it will be laundered. 👉 If there are positions or people of power that are blackmail-able, there will be people getting blackmailed. BBB = Bullshit, bribery, blackmail. This is the political playbook according to my wife’s Italian zio. He isn’t wrong. In fact, he is spot on. Bullsh*t your way in to power. If that doesn't work, then you can bribe your way in. Last resort if all else fails, is to blackmail your roadblock in to submission. When we put our "collectivist glasses" on, then everything the government/global entities do start to come in to focus and make sense. The question isn’t red versus blue, it is the state versus you. And the government can only do this by controlling the issuance of currency. Hence why #bitcoiners say, “fix the money, fix the world.” And "#Bitcoin  fixes this." So what can we do in the meantime to cut though the garbage of media, academia, and politics while we are patiently fixing the money? 1) Read past titles and headlines 2) Triangulate position reading many different competing sources 3) Pick up on patterns 4) Determine who has made correct calls in the past 5) Follow the money and who is behind what you are reading. Who do they answer to? 6) Remove emotion, think logically and critically 7) Try to poke holes in what is presented Why does this matter Brandon? Why spend time worrying about who gets voted in, who controls the money, who makes the rules? You entire life, fortune, family, and freedom hang in that balance. #btc  (an article taken from my Substack this week)
How many times do you need to be lied to straight to your face, before you change your thinking model?
The individual has the presumption of innocence and must be found guilty. The government; centralized authorities and global entities et al. have the presumption of guilt and must prove to the people beyond a shadow of a doubt why they are ethically and morally true in their ways. When this gets twisted life starts to not resemble reality.
Did Jamie Dimon really say this about #bitcoin and #Ukraine ?
