Expect the Trump administration to continue to telegraph their moves. Theyll overthrow Maduro but only after testing the waters with headlines months beforehand on mainstream media. They’ll cut interest rates, but they’ll warn you months beforehand. They’ll declare a housing emergency, but only after warning you that they would. The element of surprise is no longer a tool at their disposal. Why? Because the bond market is hanging by a thread. They cannot catch the market by surprise or they risk catastrophe.

The history books will tell our children that COVID would have wiped out humanity without Dr. Fauci and the mRNA vax The case for homeschooling has never been stronger.

Bitcoin will fix the world but will get none of the credit. Your normie friends will argue about which statist politician or celebrity saved us. But you’ll know the truth.

Ownership is not a binary - it's a spectrum. Most people think you either own something or you don't. But as inflation and taxation continue to make themselves felt, the line between ownership and "non-ownership" becomes progressively blurred. Here is what I mean... One the extreme end of non-ownership is something like your neighbor's house. Provided you are not a communist, you don't assume to have any claim to your neighbor's house. On the ownership spectrum, this would be a 0/100. On the other extreme end of the spectrum is complete ownership, the only true allodial title - your soul. You can't give away your soul even if you wanted to. It's not tangible. It cannot be stolen. It cannot be outsourced. Your soul is 100/100 owned by you. These are the extremes. In between, we find financial assets such as real estate, equities, fiat currency, precious metals, and bitcoin. You pay property taxes on real estate (ie unrealized capital gains, subsidized rent to the government). You pay capital gains on equities when you sell them. If the price of gold and silver rise high enough, miners will mine more of it, debasing your holdings. Governments print money, debasing your fiat savings. The punch line is this - apart from your soul, bitcoin is the most "ownable" asset in the world. Assuming you self-custody intelligently, it's practically unseizable. The only reason bitcoin gets a 99/100 instead of a 100/100 on the ownership spectrum is that unlike your soul, you could give away your bitcoin if you wanted to. Other than your soul and your bitcoin, every asset in your life is, at best, partially yours. The takeaway here is to invest in things in proportion to the degree that you can own them. Spend no time worrying about the size of your neighbor's house and not much more worrying about how much US govt tokens you accumulate. Spend as much time as you can purifying your soul. With the time you have leftover, stack some sats. Because those are the only two things that are actually yours.

People who think prepping is “overkill” or “kooky” seem to have forgotten that they made it illegal to go to work in 2020. They shut the world down and nobody was held accountable. They can (and probably will) do it again.

Next time someone says you need to "diversify" away from bitcoin, ask them how many Argenitine pesos they own. If the say "none," ask them why not? After all, Argentine pesos would likely diversify their portfolio.

As a bitcoin nerd, I will put in the time and effort to manage an Alby Hub Lightning node. But unless it gets more user-friendly, few others are going to to through this effort.

I finally proposed to my longtime girlfriend yesterday. Without bitcoin, I couldn’t have afforded for the ring. Without bitcoin, I couldn’t have afforded a wedding. Yes, Satoshi gave us real money again. But more importantly, he returned to us what should have always been ours - the ability to plan for the future. Even just a brief glance at the catastrophic drop in marriage and fertility rates under the fiat standard reveals the appalling. Yes, they are debasing your money. Yes, they are making food more expensive. But they are also stealing the most precious asset of all - marriage and family. As Bitcoiners, we must resist this at all costs. Consider this my small act of defiance.
