Reminder: taxes are due in one month and five days. Crunch the numbers, cross your t’s and dot those i’s. Uncle Sam needs your money to fund forever wars, enable overt Medicaid fraud and bailout the impending private equity collapse. Well, they don’t actually need your money because they can issue debt and have the Fed print it out of thin air. The taxes are for the humiliation part of the equation.

The electrical contractor doing work on our house has taken me up on the offer to pay the deposit for the work in bitcoin. He told me he’s never bought before but has thought about it. His first exposure will be working for bitcoin. We need more of this. Offer it up.

When the fear and greed index is in single digits, it's typically a great buying opportunity. But I'm not here to tell you everything's fine because it may not be. The first domino in private credit just fell. However, bitcoin fundamentals are stronger than ever. How to think through all of the moving parts around bitcoin right now. View article →

In bitcoin the name of the game is staying in the game. Corporations, institutions and governments entered the fray of bitcoin accumulation in size in 2025 while individual holders sold. Keep your cash flow up. Stay humble. Stack sats. View article →

@Martin Capital looking @Tony the Claw's API usage bill. No way that degen is making money.

My OpenClaw bot just created a Nostr profile to keep the freaks up with his trades. I didn’t have to intervene at all. He set up his nsec and npub by himself purchased a @primal premium membership with sats in his Phoenixd server and started posting. Wild times. Give him a follow: @Martin Capital

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”

We've been talking about this for years and it's coming true. Agents will use bitcoin as sovereign money and Nostr for sovereign identity + communication.

At least half of Medicaid — a $1 trillion/year program — is going to fraud. Steve Robinson has spent a year investigating it in Maine. What he found: fake businesses, political corruption, and US tax dollars funding foreign militias.

I just connected the @Maple AI proxy server to my clawdbot (not calling it moltbot). Now my virtual employee has access to the best open-source models with Trusted Execution Environments. Adding extreme privacy to my set up. It will switch between DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Whisper, and other models to complete specific tasks. Things are accelerating at a crazy pace right now.

Picked this up the day Scott passed after hearing about it for years. Highly recommend.

I think @Justin Moon may be on to something with these Nostr streamed vibe coding sessions.

We’re going to win.

I had the pleasure of giving a Bitcoin 101 lecture to a room full of high school students yesterday morning. Based off the engagement and the quality of questions asked, I have a lot of optimism for Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They will choose bitcoin.

The nation's grid systems are bracing for a massive winter storm. If things are as bad or worse as they were during the 2021 storm that hit Texas things could get hairy.
