Bitcoin doing what it does best; lull people into a state of boredom + complacency as it consolidates before its next move. My advice is to stop looking at charts and go do something productive to increase your cash flows so you can take advantage of the consolidation period.

Many think that DOGE is a partisan effort to own the libs, which it is to a certain extent. However, it will be clear that we’re draining the swamp of libs and boomer cons once we start auditing the defense budget. Massive waste and grift on the republican side there.

The gold market has been suppressed by paper markets for decades. Gold bugs have been screaming this from the rooftops just as long. As geopolitical and financial uncertainty rises institutions and individuals alike are calling their gold in kind. It’s being made clear that the vaults don’t have all of the gold. Many people are about to find out the gold they thought they “owned” never existed in the first place. This is going to cause gold to skyrocket. Everyone sitting there with paper claims and no actual gold is going to be absolutely pissed. What do you think people are going to do once they realize the world got conned by the gold vaults? They’re going to flood into bitcoin and, hopefully, take advantage of self custody. Get ready for a bull run like we’ve never seen. The confluence of sovereign debt issues, paper gold and the unveiling of mass theft by governments is going to force people to pile into the most incorruptible neutral reserve asset man has ever come into contact with; bitcoin.

We all knew it was happening but now we have hard proof: the US Federal government has been stealing your money and TIME via taxes and debt expansion and using it to destroy the country. Treason of the highest level. There should be a tax holiday in 2025 and serious conversations about shutting down the IRS. The amount of pain and suffering people have had to endure over the last few decades while getting lambasted by snobby bureaucrats who were lining their pockets while telling everyone they were "spreading democracy and freedom" is incalculable. The greatest heist in human history. Pure evil.

Crawl back into your hole, demon.

At this point the income tax needs to be halted immediately. The mishandling of American taxpayer money that is being laid bare is beyond comprehension. The people, at the very least, deserve a break from the madness until we figure out what’s going on.

Autists are in control and I couldn’t be happier.

The same government that fear mongered about people using bitcoin to launder money, arrested open source developers for creating privacy software and put individuals in harms way by forcing KYC/AML data collection on the market was directly funding terrorists via USAID.

Operation Mockingbird has been alive and well.

Proof of @PUBKEY visit.

To the young lads currently dismantling USAID and, hopefully, many more corrupt bureaucratic agencies; the doxxing is a sign that the parasites are scared. Blinders. Keep pushing. May God be with you.

Matt McCusker came through the studio and we talked bitcoin, tech addiction, comedy’s role in combating tyranny and much more. Sick rip.

Some big ETH bagholder had their "Fuck it, I'm out" moment yesterday.

Don’t confuse short-term price movements as long-term signals. The fundamentals of bitcoin as a neutral reserve asset that everyone will need to own are getting stronger by the day. Analysis from Jeff Park.

People really don’t understand the difficulty adjustment or the incentives that come into play if censorship ever happens. View quoted note →

The mempool clearing isn’t a good or a bad thing. It just “is”. People fear mongering and trying to cast current or past mempool states onto the future (whether it’s completely flooded or completely empty) are short sighted. Usage will ebb and flow and so too will mempools.

Some light Saturday afternoon reading.

The mempools are clear.
