If I were you I'd block out all of the noise emanating from mainstream pundits, politicians, economists and newly minted tariffs experts. All of that is a distraction from something bigger going on right now. The tariffs are a relatively small move.

Bitcoin replacing real estate, dollars, treasuries and other forms of inferior collateral in credit products is a sign that bitcoin is successfully demonetizing all of those assets and shifting control toward the holders of bitcoin. That's winning.

“The American Dream isn’t ‘Let them eat flat screens’” is such an incredible line. Cuts straight to the core of what we’re fighting for. Cheap electronics from China are the equivalent of economic SSRIs. Synthetic happiness that completely misses the core of the problem.

When someone asks “Well isn’t bitcoin a threat to the dollar?” Immediately shift the frame and point out that the dollar, as it’s designed, is a threat to itself and American citizens. Bitcoin is a powerful tool for Americans. The dollar is designed to lose value.

As someone who would like to see the federal government in the US shrunk dramatically, I believe a strategic bitcoin reserve accumulated via a mechanism like Bit Bonds is the only viable path to make a smaller government possible. This may seem counterintuitive - "if the US government acquires bitcoin it makes them stronger." However, when you take a step back and think of the problem of the ever expanding federal government you realize that a large part of the problem is driven by the need to roll over debt by issuing new debt to pay it back. This leads to a forced expansion of the federal government that can only be reversed if something new is introduced that can defease the debt without having to issue new paper. As it stands today, bitcoin is the only thing that can practically produce this defeasment. The beauty of the bit bond idea is that it expedites the debt pay back by enabling the Tresury to issue longer-term bonds at lower rates, which works to decrease interest payments on debt that is being rolled over. An incredible kickstarting mechanism that provides immediate results. Imagine being able to point at the chart of the interest expense on the debt and show that the number is falling. Bitcoin is for anyone, including governments, and it is a great asset that enables individuals, businesses and governments to think creatively by leveraging the benefits that come with adopting it during its monetization phase. The path to shrinking the federal government dramatically over the next few decades only exists in a world in which the government adopts bitcoin as a strategic asset to begin paying back the debt.
