Our trend in culture departs from the cyclical and skeptical current of #Postmodernism, to a meaningful approach called #Metamodernism. We ask questions: How to live a good life? What is the solution to this problem? Please give this a listen. We are the generation that works for a better life and health, embrace religion and are fixing economic problems through #Bitcoin.

Thank you for the #BTC dip. A few sats a day keeps the tyrant away.

The Big Print by Lawrence Lepard #bookstr A straightforward explanation on how our broken monetary system is caused by fiat money with the inflation that is generated by Central Banks policy. Pay close attention to Triffin’s Dilemma - the country that supplies the reserve currency must run a trade deficit at all time and that creates a tension between domestic and foreign monetary policy. Lepard argues that economic well-being isn’t about endless growth (certainly not through inflation), it’s about efficiency and productivity. So as the capitalist economy invests savings in new ideas generating new technologies and doing it in a competitive and free environment we consumers have better and more efficient options. Without a fiat currency that is devalued day by day through inflation we would see prices go down in the economy due to efficiency and better resource allocation. Deflation is the natural condition of a well functioning economic system. The money printing is done but the Central Banks. It is argued that the US Federal Reserve has expanded its metrics to include stock market prices. Through quantitative easing and asset swaps the Fed is pushing money in the financial system inflating the stock markets and giving only a few an advantage while the majority is at the mercy of inflation. The book is easy to read and straightforward on how the financial system works and Triffin’s Dilemma explains much of the domestic tensions in the United States and how they are spilling into trade war with longterm partners. The solution would have been to keep gold as the neutral reserve currency at Bretton Woods. Since Nixon took the US Dollar off the gold standard bureaucratic governments worldwide have printed their currencies into oblivion ruining the savings of billions of honest people. But we have Bitcoin now.

The Populist Delusion by Neema Parvini #bookstr The nature of power in politics and government. The people, majority, does not rule, it is ruled by a minority of organized elites. In democracies the minority is elected. Populism, rampant today in all societies, claims that the power is returned to the people. The people cannot hold onto power as they are inherently unorganized go into political passivity and thus need elite leadership. Populism appeals to the mass man through emotion and reactivity, but really it’s just theatre organized through elections and public participation by the elite man through strategy. The real battle is between elite and elite, so if you want change you have to become the elite. Mass sentiment dies out. Food for thought. I believe populism leaves society worse off. Even if elites use populism to win easy votes are just manipulative and pray on the emotions of people who will be inevitably left even more disappointed. The effect will be even more division and hate in society. A good median education through society I believe will make populism a tool that no elite can use for gain and thus useless.

Read an article in FT. What stood out for me was a description of nostalgia, a phenomenon that is plaguing all societies I have a connection with. “What makes nostalgia so hard to argue against is that it is an ever-moving target. People pluck their favourite bits from different periods — the homogeneous culture of the 1950s, the industrial peace of the 1990s, the rampant growth of the pre-crash noughties — and combine them into a single fictitious moment. This isn’t just a sleight of hand. It makes it impossible for the present to “win”. Twenty twenty-five has to go up against a Best Of, a compilation from the last century or so.” Britain is not a broken society - Opinion by Janan Ganesh, Financial Times. 30 July 2025 https://on.ft.com/4l8JEl2

Staking and stacking #BTC, thank you market.

United Kingdom 🇬🇧 to sell almost 70,000 #BTC. After Germany 🇩🇪 sold their confiscated stash now another country sets to fill their fiat fiscal hole. This will be regretted. https://news.bitcoin.com/report-uk-moves-to-sell-billions-in-confiscated-bitcoin-assets/
