Highlights from the Sovereign Individual, written in 1997, that feel highly prescient.

The printing press was such a powerful invention that it brought the Middle Ages to an end. But as the Pope would have pointed out, it was also a polarizing and radicalizing machine that led directly to religious conflicts. The internet and social media play a similar role in our time. Although the symbols and slogans have changed, the conflict is fundamentally between the same forces: Catholics fighting for a universal "church" and Protestants fighting for freedom of conscience. The criticism is also the same on both sides: Catholics believe heresy can destroy society as they know it, while Protestants believe the "church" has become thoroughly corrupt, both theologically and administratively. And they use the same tools: the free flow of radical information in a battle against the conservative inquisition. I know which side of this timeless battle I stand on. Do you? 🤔

When you bring your latest recruits to the local #Bitcoin meetup.

It's 1 am on the Paris metro and my oldest daughters are resting their heads on my lap after spending the day at #Paris2024    Lykke is gently sobbing, Lucy can't stop giggling. - Why are you laughing, Lucy? - Because it was the best day ever! - Why are you crying, Lykke? - Because I'm the luckiest girl alive. We visited Montmartre and the Eiffel tower before walking the Seine and then Champs-Élysées to the Olympic Flame by Le Louvre. Moments that turn every last sacrifice into a pure blessing. I would die so happy and complete right now, if there weren't so many more memories yet to make. Thank you, Lord 🙏

If the free flow of information causes conflict it's because it's overdue.

Are you ready for decades to happen in the next few days?

Congratulations to everyone who was tired of $58k 🏆

Stock market and DC gay bars are crashing while Lockheed Martin and DC pizza orders are pumping. In unrelated news, the US just sent an aircraft carrier and a fighter jet squadron to the Middle East. What could possibly be going on? 🤔

100% of people who think this is fair would vote for Kamala Harris. One. Hundred. Percent.

I must have been a Saint in a past life. How else do I explain all these blessings? #Paris2024

I dreamed I saw Satoshi last night Alive as you and me Says I to Sat "You're ten years dead" "I never died" says he "I never died" says he Cantillionaires attacked your work They smeared it with their lies Says he "But they could never kill What they could not compromise I never compromised" "Though fashions change and critics sneer The code that I have spun Runs just as true tonight as then The timechain carries on The struggle carries on" When songs of freedom ring out loud From valleys and from hills Where people stand up for the truth Satoshi's with us still Satoshi inspires us still (Sing to melody: Joe Hill)

Cogito, ergo conspiracy theorist

They're busy getting rid of the 6th finger in the AI video proving Biden is still alive, aren't they?

If Biden dies now, they better have videos and photos of him actually signing that resignation, or we should assume foul play. Don't trust, verify.

13 years. I don't have any more words left for this day. We miss you.

A chilling thing about a nuclear exchange is that you will never learn what happened. It could have just been a #Crowdstrike update gone wrong. No one would ever know. Good night.

There's a growing number of Democrats who wish both candidates would just die already.

The "Jan 6th was an insurrection" crowd is now calling for an actual coup.

Who else would make sure to get a bespoke MAGA cap to match her #Bitcoin orange blazer? Impeccable style as always, @CARLA⚡️👌

I don't see how Democrats can come back from this speech, no matter who their candidate is. This "new Trump" rug pulls their entire message. They've painted themselves into a very narrow corner. Absolute masterclass 👏
