For every one podcast on BTC security, you will find ten podcasts on BTC price predictions. Should be the other way around.

EU power outages remind me of why I think going off-grid should be on the long-term “to-do” list of every bitcoiner. You can have your node and your self-custody setup, but if the State cuts the power cord (intentionally or unintentionally) and you have no alternative source of power, you’re screwed. Sure, the equipment is expensive and requires a lot of learning, but everyone should be gearing towards this, one step at a time, imo.

If you are a specialist in violence, and your targets have their wealth in multi-sig, your business is going to fail. This is why all governments will die.

World-changing technologies are rare. World-changing protocols are even rarer. World-changing monetary protocols only occur a few times in the history of the world. Nobody is bullish enough.

It’s amazing how many people are afraid to buy bitcoin because we are near all-time highs. They’re thinking “what goes up must come down.” They are still trying to time the market and sell back into dollars.

People absolutely lost their minds over DOGE, and it wasn’t enough to put a dent in the deficit, let alone the debt. Your fairy tale of the US resolving its debt burden needs to die. It’s insolvent and never getting paid back. The ship is sinking. Opt out or you’re going to go down with it.

The world still has not grasped the implications of quantum physics. The nature of reality is not Newtonian. The nature of reality is one based on frequencies, periodicities, and feedback loops.

Every “-ism” is just an excuse to steal other people’s stuff. Socialism. Communism. Statism. Nationalism. Globalism. It doesn’t matter. They’re all the same - they just differ in who gets the exclusive privilege of stealing. Reject them all. Embrace freedom and individual sovereignty. Everything else is a lie.

Bitcoin provides a trustworthiness filter in all domains. There are tens of thousands of doctors, lawyers, accountants, writers etc, but those who are Bitcoiners have proven that they are courageous and open-minded. The “do you understand Bitcoin?” filter is an effective method to distill the infinite voices down to a select few that habitually think from first principles.

Lone-coiners are leaving a lot on the table. When you interact with other bitcoiners, even just online, you bounce ideas off one another and everyone’s understanding grows.

When you’re going up, you feel comfortable believing that the adults have everything under control. Then you become the adult and you realize that nobody has any idea what’s going on and this whole thing is on auto-pilot.

Running your own node and server is great. Buying food from local ranchers is great. But if you’re still reliant on the State to supply your power, you’re not sovereign. Energy is the basis of life. More Bitcoiners need to be off the grid.

Nothing “causes” poverty. Poverty is the natural state. The question is “what creates wealth?” And the answer is voluntary exchange.

Hyperbitcoinization happens not when buyers say “I want to pay in bitcoin” but when sellers say “sorry, I don’t want your fiat”

One of the biggest psyops in the health space is that Gatorade is good to drink when exercising

1. Trump institutes tariffs. 2. Foreigners cash out of their US securities and stop buying treasuries. 3. Stock markets fall, 10-year rates climb. 4. Pension funds and retirement accounts are threatened, interest expense grows. 5. Fed prints boatloads of money to pick up the slack. 6. New liquidity flows into scarce assets. 7. Bitcoin moons. What am I missing?

Stock market has circuit breakers to halt trading when values collapse too fast. Could it be any clearer that this is a scam?
