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.

Have fun playing with your shiny gold bars
I have a little Juliet balcony in my apartment and sometimes I just open the door, stand in it, and take it all in like Batman perched over Gotham. It's the best.


I realized in 2022 that Bitcoin was a weapon built to go to war with the banking cartel.
Seems that the banking cartel is doing everything it can to lobby the Congress to strangle and box in Bitcoin as much as possible.
They can only extend and pretend for so long.
Tens of millions understand the fiat game now. What happens when it's hundreds of millions? What happens when a billion people realize the banking cartel is an international crime syndicate?
Con men rely on confidence. The central banking long con is losing humanity's confidence.

We need Canada and Greenland so that the NHL can expand to 36 teams
While the whole Somali daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota is brutal, it seems like a shiny object to distract people from the deeper problems our country faces.
The amount of fraud at the Fed, on Wall Street, at the Pentagon, etc is exponentially higher and more damaging. The amount of criminality and violence perpetuated by Intelligence is far more negative than the illegal immigrant fraud schemes.
My guess is that Trump and Co will use the Federal government to bully the State governments and create division based on race, religion and politics. You will start to see the Red Feds attack the Blue States and create a civil war atmosphere. Meanwhile the Fed and Wall Street will continue to asset strip our country. Intelligence run media will narrate the whole thing and pit us against each other.
God be with us. These people are brilliant with their deceptions and there is no bottom to their treachery.
In a fiat dominated world, having integrity becomes a major liability.
Look at the fraud, deceit, lies, war, and violence around the world that props up the fiat ponzi scheme.
Bitcoin's promise is that it enables honest and hardworking individuals to live a decent life without abandoning their dignity.
Bitcoin is a way of life suitable for creative, high agency, high integrity people.
2026 resolution: Nostr only.
This is the Victims of Communism Memorial.
Most people visit Washington, DC and never see it. It's easy to miss because it's small and tucked away on New Jersey Ave next to Georgetown Law, several blocks away from The Mall.
It is dedicated "To the more than one hundred million victims of communism and to those who love liberty."
Yesterday, a new mayor was inaugurated in New York City who promised to "replace rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."
Collectivist ideology is un-American and leads to totalitarian dictatorship. It is easy to paint "individualism" as selfish. But what the new mayor fails to understand is that individualism is about liberty. And liberty is what America is all about. It always has been and it always will be.
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
It is time for Americans to remember that we have inalienable rights, endowed upon us by God. Among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
God bless America.


Hell yeah

At least 90% of government operates like the State of Minnesota, that's why 90% of people are feeling the squeeze right now


If this doesn't wake up the masses, I don't know what will.


It's is very easy to get people using Bitcoin if you offer them delicious burgers, dogs, fries, wings and beers, then offer them a 21% discount if they pay with Bitcoin.
I think we cracked the code @PUBKEY
My New Year's Resolution for 2026 is to stay humble and stack sats.
Same one as 2025.
