In my view, real estate will be the real loser in the next 5 years (or more, maybe even 10 years).
S&P500, equities in general and Bitcoin will recover quickly because of their nature and liquidity channels, real estate will take much much longer.
Lots of smaller banks will collapse. They'll bailout only the bigger entities.
Equities and Bitcoin might recover in something like 6 months, much faster than 2008 because liquidity injections are much faster now (there was no QE invented in 08), the market already knows the drill and there's nowhere to go.
Equities, Bitcoin and gold are going to be the only global investment in the next 5 years (or more).
Smart real estate people are now in panic and trying to figure out a way to get into cash. Taxes are also not going to help them.
The world is going to change very fast.

I also like Switzerland and think it has by far one of the most voluntaryist systems in the world.
The medium is the message. Long live #nostr. Feel free to send messages :)
I believe that, over time, most publicly traded companies in the S&P 500 (excluding the Mag7) will end up holding a significant share of their assets in Bitcoin. As a result, even small investments into the S&P 500 will indirectly channel capital into Bitcoin.
And that's how Mag7 gets demonetized. Not by having the masses change their investment strategies that but by having the S&P500 underdogs unite under a better currency.
This is how revolutions always work by the way. The underdog unite to overcome the status quo.

I believe gold will be the last asset bubble to pop. But it'll do so.
Here's what I think can happen in next months and years:
## Current
- Gold explodes (as it already is doing now)
- Liquidity crisis (this is currently happening)
- Money printing begins
## Next years
- Money printing continues
- Gold continues rising, first paper gold scandals
- Bitcoin keeps growing
- Real estate stagnates (in real terms, power of purchase, gold or Bitcoin)
## 5 years from now
- Gold scandals multiple
- Gold remonetization is a mixed bag, it's hard to prove gold
- More money printing to bailout paper gold and banks
- Bitcoin skyrockets

What an incredible talk!!!
I've never heard about this woman!
"these post-structuralists are the worst mercenary careeists in this country"
Have you guys ever heard about her, Camille Paglia? Incredible stuff. Bomb after bomb, incredible.

Holy crap, the LGB(TQ) community is becoming based. Basically there's a movement to separate from the TQ part.
Hell yeah, this is what needs to be done. The world is changing, this is very interesting stuff.
Super refreshing to actually see LGB (lesbian, gay, bisexuals) people talk about the absurdity of pronouns, puberty blockers, etc, etc.
You see how political movements are used? The most intolerant/radical group always wins, if the moderates let them.
I read somewhere that 70% of the LGB were not onboard with this crazy stuff being pushed.
This is why moderates need to speak up at ALL times. Great lesson and great stuff.

LGB without the TQ+ NOW!
Are you feeling tired? Feeling hopeless? Then know that there's people rooting for you!!
Never give up!!! :D
I'm having a hard time understand the gold guys. Do these people really don't see gold as risky? How can they know if their gold is safe?
How many times has gold been confiscated, paper faked, etc, etc?
But this time it's supposed to be different?
They might call me insane with this idea of Bitcoin, digital money, etc, etc, but I can't call them naive from not learning from history?

The goal is to be in service of each other. That was always the goal.
When does the economy collapse and people can actually read about what is money?

What I'm more mindblown about is the reactions to Charlie Kirk's death. The reactions.
I've seen people that I speak often with, that seem like normal people, be happy about this.
A run of the mill moderate Christian conservative, into free-market, etc. Absolutely nothing special about this guy. Probably half of America is like this.
And he's Hitler and deserved to die? Why, because someone told you so?
I'm cutting off some people from my life. I want to surround myself with real people with actual values.
A lot of people are completely brainwashed by the most ridiculous of things. It's like Covid, you don't know them until you do.
New nations states, that much better serve the needs of their people, will be born in the next 10 years.
The current problem is people are fighting to take control of the **current** nation states when they should be working to create the **newer** nation states.
This is perhaps the biggest problem with communist, marxist, socialist ideology. They try to take control of the existing power structures, instead of creating new ones.
If you're out of the loop like me, this is a summary of the Bitcoin Core vs Bitcoin Knots debate.
Please feel free to add to it to make sure it's right or not.

## Introduction
The current debate in Bitcoin is often framed as **Bitcoin Core vs. Bitcoin Knots**, but that’s not the real issue.
At its core, the controversy is about **Ordinals vs. monetary-only Bitcoin**:
- Should Bitcoin remain a **neutral, general-purpose ledger** where people can inscribe art, tokens, and other data?
- Or should Bitcoin be kept **lean and focused strictly on monetary transactions**, preserving block space for payments and settlements?
⚔️ The Ordinals Debate in Bitcoin
What Ordinals are
A protocol that numbers individual sats and lets people inscribe arbitrary data (images, text, tokens) into Bitcoin blocks via SegWit/Taproot.
Enables Bitcoin-native NFTs, meme coins, and permanent data storage.
## The Supporters’ View
Innovation & new use cases: Bitcoin isn’t just money, it can be a foundation for art, collectibles, and tokenization.
Miner revenue boost: High Ordinals activity drives up transaction fees, which helps secure Bitcoin as block subsidies shrink.
Permissionless ethos: Bitcoin is supposed to be neutral — anyone should be free to use it without gatekeeping.
The Critics’ View (e.g. Luke Dashjr / Bitcoin Knots)
Spam & bloat: Inscriptions fill blocks with non-financial data, raising fees for ordinary payments.
Against Bitcoin’s purpose: The base layer should prioritize financial transactions, not NFTs or memes.
Centralization risks: Larger blocks → bigger storage/processing requirements → fewer people can run nodes.
Policy response: Bitcoin Knots enforces stricter relay rules (e.g. 42-byte OP_RETURN) and filters some inscription transactions.
## The Broader Tension
Bitcoin Core v30 (coming 2025) will loosen limits, making inscriptions easier.
Bitcoin Knots is rising in popularity (~18% of nodes) as a counterweight, keeping “anti-spam” defaults.
This creates a philosophical and technical split:
Bitcoin as neutral, general-purpose ledger (pro-Ordinals).
Bitcoin as lean, monetary-only system (anti-Ordinals).
✅ In one line:
The Ordinals debate is really about what Bitcoin should be:
A neutral, permissionless base layer for all kinds of data and innovation, or
A strictly monetary network optimized only for peer-to-peer cash and settlement.

Is this correct? Which side of the conversation are you on?
