Pearl of wisdom overheard at the pub last night: "Life doesn't get easier, but it does get better."

China is stockpoling gold because it is easy to centralize. The CCP regime requires extreme centralization. Bitcoin is the perfect weapon to counter. Harder than gold. More decentralized than gold. Easier to transact. It may take a long time but we can defeat communism once and for all with Bitcoin ✌️

@Jeff Booth really nails it when says, "There is no us versus them. There is only us." It's a devastating truth that through the fiat system, we are all paying for our own destruction. Epstein network? We paid for it. Forever wars? We paid for it. Technocractic dystopia? We paid for it. It's all on us. We allowed it to go on and paid for it through taxation and inflation over decades. The only thing we can do is take responsibility and remove our time, energy, and resources from the extractive Death Economy. No more finger pointing unless it is at the mirror. Opt out. I know most if not all of you on here are with me.

The Trump Admin has done two regime changes in two months so far this year. What have YOU gotten done in 2026?!

The fiat system is optimized for the extreme taker. Bitcoin is optimized for the extreme giver. For the giver, the world seemed completely upside down until they discovered Bitcoin. For the taker, they scream at the top of their lungs that Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme because they cannot afford for Fiat to be exposed as the real scam.

I don't think you really get Bitcoin until you realize the banksters are complete criminal fraudsters, aided and abetted by criminals in the government. Its a very tough pill to swallow, and most aren't willing to take it. Yet.

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. #Bitcoin image

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 🧡

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.
