Does Bitcoin fix this?
142,000 millionaires, the highest number ever recorded, are expected to gain citizenship in another country this year. By 2026, this number is expected to rise to 165,000.
The largest voluntary transfer of capital in modern history.
Pulte, Director of the United States Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA):
After significant studying, and in keeping with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, today I ordered the Great Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage.

History is written by the victors. A tale told by thieves. For
centuries, humanity clawed for something solid, something true.
Empires rose on shifting sand. Gods of paper and empty promises were
worshipped. Kings and central bankers guarded our value like wolves
guarding sheep, always devouring it in the end. Our money, the
lifeblood of society, was forever corrupted. Controlled. A tool for
victors to rewrite reality at whim. Until now.
Bitcoin isn't just digital cash. It's
the first unshakable pillar of truth humanity has ever built.
Mathematics made manifest. Proof-of-work isn't poetry. It's physics.
Real energy burned. Real time passed. Forging an immutable ledger. No
rewrites. No edits. No committee votes on what happened. The
blockchain is the record. It stands against human frailty and
corruption, indifferent to power, pleas, or politics.
What does this mean for money? It means
money finally escapes the grasping hands of men. Scarcity isn't
declared, it's proven. You can't print Bitcoin into worthlessness to
fuel wars or rescue fools. The 21 million cap isn't a suggestion.
It's law. Enforced by code. Secured by energy. Witnessed by the
world. This is money that cannot be debased. Money that is truly
hard. For the first time, a yardstick of value that doesn't shrink in
the fists of the powerful. As Ernest Shackleton knew, "Lies are
like rotten timbers in a ship, they may hold for a time, but
eventually they will rot away and the ship will sink." Fiat
currencies are those rotten timbers. Bitcoin is forged steel.
And value? Bitcoin forces a brutal
reckoning. Value isn't what a government decrees. It's not a bank's
hollow promise. Value is what survives. What endures. What cannot be
stolen away. Bitcoin proves that value can be absolute. Verifiable. Owned
absolutely by the individual. It smashes the power to *define* value
away from parasites and back to those who create it, earn it, save
it. No middlemen skimming. No silent theft through inflation. Just
pure, unforgiving economic reality. The poet Marina Tsvetaeva touched
this defiance, "I know the truth. Give up all other truths...
What do you speak of, poets, lovers, generals?... And soon all of us
will sleep under the earth, we who never let each other sleep above
it." Bitcoin is the quiet, undeniable truth that remains when
the noise of false promises dies.
In the end, truth is the only currency that matters.
For humanity? Bitcoin is a weapon of
emancipation. It offers an exit. A way out of systems built on lies.
You don't need to storm the castle. Just stop using the king's fake
coin. Store your energy, your work, your life in something inflation
cannot eat, borders cannot trap. It returns agency. It demands
responsibility. It forces honesty because the ledger forgets nothing.
It’s the foundation for a society built not on trust in corruptible
men, but on the bedrock of verifiable proof.
This is the earthquake. This is why
they rage. This is why they mock. This is why they try to strangle it
with rules. They know. The victors feel their quills turning to dust.
Their printing presses becoming junk. Their control slipping like
sand through desperate fingers.
Bitcoin is the first human creation
stronger than human corruption. Truth etched in energy and time. It
ends the victor's monopoly on history. The ledger is open. The truth
is there. For anyone to see. To use. To build upon. It’s not hope.
It’s certainty. And that certainty changes everything. Stop asking
permission. Stop trusting liars. The pillar stands. Build on it. Or
be buried by the lies of the past. The choice is brutal. The time is
now. Truth wins.

"I'm still expecting Omega very soon... what concerns me is we're not getting that slow & steady rise, which means the rise is going to be far more violent simply because we're not going up gradually… And if it's not gradually, then it's sudden."
— Samson Mow
