For a non-technical person I found this super easy to follow and an important message for anyone using Tor

“Aligning your frequency” to manifest more paper — for what? Waiting for the price to go up — for what? Counting the corn in your bags — for what? If you're here, you're already free. So what are you still waiting for?

An underrated song I remember listening to in high school in France while we were studying WWII. The lyric that always stood out to me most is: “A man will die, but not his ideas.” Given the lyrics and video, I think this song is a poignant criticism of all man-made “-isms”— fascism, communism, nationalism, religious dogmatism—any belief system that claimed to offer 'salvation' while being an ego-driven manifestation of fiat-incentives leading to division, polarization, and war. For the first time ever, humanity can break this karmic cycle. #Bitcoin fixes this.

The nuance around why we work and how value is harnessed in both systems can be difficult to grasp. In fiat, the incentive structure forces us into a survival-mindset—chasing debased money just to stay afloat. Labour is not tied to value; these concepts are are disconnected from a proof-of-stake system built on rent-extraction, inflation, and debt. Fiat’s extrinsic pressures distort how and why we work. In contrast, Bitcoin realigns incentives with intrinsically driven human motivation; our innate desire to fulfill our highest passions, to follow our greatest joys, and to be of service to others. We can fully dedicate ourselves to these things, even if they are not 'financially productive or viable' like creating music, making art, or just spending time with loved ones. Bitcoin enables us to work for fulfillment and pleasure, not for survival. It is imposing a free market where prices fall to their marginal cost of production, meaning everything is becoming cheaper and cheaper to near-free or free. Exponential technological productivity (like AI and robotics) is the force accelerating the trend and replacing our physical time-based labour on a Bitcoin Standard. (See Jeff Booth's work for a deeper dive into these first principles) At a certain point, we will not even need to work for Bitcoin in order to experience unfathomable abundance. We can just do what we love, without worrying about money in any form because all our gifts, talents, abilities, and productivity are serving ourselves and collective, while all the gifts, talents, abilities, productivity of humanity (as well as that of technology) are, in turn, being redistributed to ourselves through Bitcoin. We have never lived in such an interdependent system and so it breaks all our previous mental models. This is what fascinates me most about where Bitcoin is taking humanity. It may seem like a stretch from where we are now, but many Bitcoiners are already there. Just sitting with this first principle concept opens a whole new world of immense freedom to explore what it truly means to be human, beyond money.

This is a topic I'm very excited about—a world beyond 9-5s where humanity is living from their highest passions ✨ I'd like to share the audiobook passage on this topic that I recorded today: "In a world where our purchasing power increases over time, the need to work for survival becomes an ideology of the past. Technological progress is the driving force that creates value and provides abundance—not human labour—not us trading our lifetime for abundant pieces of paper. Our intelligence, talents, skills, gifts, and abilities are channeled into the network as technology scales our creativity and generates unfathomable abundance. We will come back to this crucial point soon, but for now, realize that the idea that ‘we must work for money’ is a belief—a social conditioning of the fiat world. This belief is obsolete in Bitcoin. Shifting toward no longer working for money may seem intimidating, as many fear a future where humans have ‘too much free time,’ but the reality is liberating. We can just do what we love, pursuing life not as a means to an end, but as a journey of exploration of our curiosities, gifts, talents, and abilities. We can carry out our highest passions without having to monetize them. When the future is taken care of, work becomes something we do for fulfillment, not for survival. As the Zen Buddhist saying reminds us: 'Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.' Nothing will change, yet everything will change."

Arguing that people can’t understand 1 BTC = 100 million sats is like claiming they can’t understand that $1 = 100 pennies.

The proof copy finally arrived 🙏🏼 While opening the package the first thing that flashed through my mind was the scene from Back to the Future of George McFly opening a box of his books telling Marty: "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything." That line originally came from Doc, passed on to Jennifer and Marty, and then Marty to his dad in1955, then his "higher timeline" dad said it back to him in 1985. Years ago, it got passed to me—a kid watching that movie. The idea really resonated with me, that if we can hold it in our mind we can hold it in our hand. And now, to hold the physical manifestation of this co-creation in my hands… it's surreal. I hope this book goes on to inspire a reader, like those who inspired me. I’m very excited to finally share it with you in June 🙌🏼✨
