Saylor said something on the MSTR earnings call that was hilarious and that sounded like something Yogi Berra would say:
"It's a good thing we have time, otherwise everything would happen all at once."

If you're too afraid of a little contact, get off the fucking field and sit on the bench. Let the real dogs play and tear each other apart to see who wins.

We don't need to make the world "smarter."
We need to make the world more beautiful. We need to make the world more peaceful. We need to make the world more just.
That's why I'm dedicating my professional life to driving Bitcoin adoption and not very interested in AI adoption.
Intelligence without wisdom is dangerous. Wisdom says stick to Bitcoin π§‘
People will wake up one day and ask themselves:
Why did I pretend to work for that fake company just to earn fake money to impress fake people that I pretended to care about?
Epstein really was Pandora's Box.
Everyone in "elite" circles. And I mean EVERYONE was exposed. Government. Finance. Banking. Technology. Business. Hollywood.
They are all criminals. Clintons. Trumps. Musk. Thiel. Hoffman. Dimon. Etc. Republicans and Democrats. They're going to try and build AI dystopia to cover it all up, but it's too late.
They are FUCKED.
Volatility does not change the fact that the banks are insolvent and the governments are insolvent.
There's too much debt and too few dollars.
Hold scarce assets in self-custody. Survive.
It's hard to orange pill people because it's hard to get them to accept the fact that the biggest institutions in the world, that are supposed to be protecting them, are in fact stealing from them.
That said, I think as every day goes by, more and more people are waking up to the corruption and fuckery. The zeitgeist is shifting towards the narrative Bitcoiners have been yelling into the void about for years.
Patience everyone. The world is waking up, gradually then suddenly. Our time is coming.
*Fourth Turning intensifies*
It's weird to say this, but I think Bitcoiners are forming a new nation. The first ever digitally native nation.
I mean that in the sense that the United States of America used to be a nation. England used to be a nation, etc. Globalization essentially dissolved those nations of people. The States still exist but the nations are going extinct.
In the internet age, people don't believe in the old idea of belonging to a nation based on blood and soil. Why sacrifice for the people in my country if they don't share my values? Why sacrifice for the people in my country if they aren't reciprocating my efforts? They are just taking from me. This sucks.
Ironically, the answer to globalization was to form the first truly global nation based on internet protocols, not geography.
Bitcoiners can meet each other all over the world and click almost immediately. It is like you are meeting someone you've known for a long time when you meet a fellow Bitcoiner. Because you know you've had shared experiences and you have shared values. You've been reading and watching the same things. That's what a nation of people is supposed to feel like. A big family.
This is not to say that Bitcoiners will create a state a la Balaji's Network State thesis. Bitcoiners tend to despise government. I find it hard to imagine that we would voluntarily build a Networked Nation State.
It is a remarkable story, nevertheless. A tribe, a nation, that is forming across the globe, connected by a single open source software program. (And now a second one, in Nostr).
Perhaps other nations will form digitally in the coming decades. But I find it hard to believe that they will be as strong and as powerful as Bitcoin Nation.
My game theoritic mind thinks that the US will ultimately rug pull the world on gold, and pivot to Bitcoin.
Why go to all this trouble with the SBR, with the close relationship with Tether? Why go to the trouble of doing GENIUS & CLARITY?
The US knows it's in deep shit. The US knows it's rivals have a shit ton of gold.
Everyone is rushing out of paper into commodities. Those gotdam commies in China are heavy on gold but light on Bitcoin.
Why not stick it to those bastards and say, 'hey, nice shiny rock you got there. We're about to play checkmate on you assholes with digital gold. Fuck you."

Government = criminal gangsters
Banking + Finance = criminal fraudsters
With their powers combined, they are Captain Fiat! Here to take everything from you and make you their slave but try to make you believe you should say thank you.
The Paper Chasers are not gonna have a good time over the next five years.
Physical commodity holders will likely do very well.
Bitcoin self-custodians will do best.
People talk a big game about resisting the government, and yet they still use the government's money.
Until you opt out of fiat currencies, you are all talk and zero action. Your words carry no weight.
Put your money where your mouth is.
#Bitcoin
Gold and silver ripping are evidence that the boomer institutions know that fiat currencies are fucked.
Bitcoin ripping (soon) will be evidence that Millennials and Gen Z know that fiat currencies are fucked.
We will outlive the precious metals camp. Just give it time π«‘
We have been living through the hard times for quite a while now. There are likely more hard times in front of us.
Not to worry.
If you're still here, that means you are becoming a strong man or woman. My hat's off to you. We will create the good times together.
Nature is healing

At the bottom of the rabbit hole is a massive white pill.
The self proclaimed "elite" of this world are, in fact, the lowest of the low. They are extreme takers, they lack empathy, and they are incapable of feeling love. And that's putting it lightly.
The white pill is realizing that you win by simply not being like them.
Don't bother playing their games. Chasing wealth, status, and power will force you into the "elite" world and you will be approached to compromise yourself and your integrity in order to win their games.
Their games are rigged and stupid. There is no point in playing and debasing yourself. Don't stoop to their level.
Win by being loving, being a giver, being a creator.
So what if you don't achieve high status? So what if you don't become wealthy?
You will feel good about yourself and you will maintain your honor and integrity. That makes you a winner. That makes you elite.
I want Greenland so bad now they seem fun π
