How long would you allow a burglar to sneak into your home and steal 7% per year of your possessions? This is what government is doing to your hard-earned money via monetary debasement. M2 money supply expansion in the USA since 1960 is 6.8% per annum. In some places it is double, triple, quadruple 7% per annum. #Bitcoin stops this. Opt into Bitcoin to protect your purchasing power and personal wealth.

As an aspiring #Bitcoin educator, I am learning a difficult, hidden lesson about the topic of “money” relative to people. People feel reluctant to talk about money due to one of two fears: Fear One: Embarrassment. People do not want to discuss anything about money out of fear “they do not have enough”; Fear 2: Risk of Loss. People do not want to discuss anything about money out of fear “they have a lot of money and someone will take it”. Overcoming these two fears will be essential to moving the World from the dysfunctional, fiat monetary system to a #Bitcoin-based monetary system.

I can smell the inbound liquidity coming like the scent sulfur coming off the mud-flat on a negative low tide before a “Hill Tide” rolls in and floods it all. Buy #Bitcoin. Hold for 10years. Smile forever.

Many people in my circle “crave” finding the next, big investment opportunity. But, they do not want to do the research work that establishes conviction in the assets. My reply: “But Bitcoin and Tesla then hold without leverage for 10 years.” Their reply: “Your stupid. That is fake Internet money and electric cars catch on fire….”. That is how narrow-minded people never get it.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a complex, government ruse designed to “gaslight” you into believing the government is not stealing your work/savings. Bonus: monetary inflation is at least triple CPI, in some categories even higher. #Bitcoin lets you opt-out of this theft.

Wait…. From first principles: why do we fucking have any “government”? @knutsvanholm and/or @lukedewolf can you please help me understand why do we have ANY government? How does “government” add any value to a producer? I know how “government” adds value to the looters/parasites.

99% of people will never investigate any idea that they think does not align with their current mental model of the World. Result: you continue to live in a self-induced bottle unable to expand your intellectual horizons. Worst, you fight/resist anyone that offers one of the ideas in the 99%. Really sad….

This abandoned penny tells you everything you need to know about our current global, fiat monetary system: it is not what you think it is. Look closely and you can see the deception staring you in the face. Opt out by buying #Bitcoin. image

We are feel it. The World is broken; everything seems chaotic. The reason? The same people who hold a monopoly on violence also controls what we use as “money”. Money has to be separate from “sovereign states”. Study this and World events make more sense. In the profound words of @jimmysong, “Fiat Ruins Everything”. #Bitcoin

The worst part of camping and hunting for me: leaving. I love living in the woods. image

Even nature has a form of “Karen”. I am sitting quietly in the woods whitetail deer hunting when “Karen” the squirrel showed up displeased with my presence. Go outside #Bitcoiners. image

A rainy day here in Lugano. Our hiking trip to Monte Bre postponed. Where are my fellow #PlanB #Bitcoin friends hanging out today in Lugano? I would love to come meet and exchange stories over a beer/wine.

I do not always go to Lugano, Switzerland. But when I do, I spend an hour and a half at a laundromat because the VRBO apartment we rented advertised a having a clothe washer and dyer, when in fact it is only a clothe dryer. However, being an eternal optimist, I found a little Italy bar 100yrds away with a bathroom and Italy craft beers. Never give up! 🤣😂🤣 image image image
