if you measure freedom by how much of what you make you actually keep after all extractions income taxes, payroll taxes, VAT, excises, property tax etc etc etc a high-tax modern worker in many countries keeps only about 45% of their output, = they work more hours for the state than a typical medieval peasant, who often kept around 55% after tithes, rents, and corvée labor this is something even bitcoin is having trouble fixing...

One day, owning a whole Bitcoin will feel like owning Manhattan in 1626. And you’ll wish you traded beads for it.

AI could save Bitcoin from demonization. Normies will start to hate AI because it’s mainstream and somewhat understandable. Bitcoin is more nuanced.

Every shadowy power has a front some public-facing mask it wears to blend into society. That’s the strangest part of our modern world we’re surrounded by illusions, yet the masks are slipping, because hiding in plain sight is no longer sustainable in an age of digital mirrors and infinite eyes. Exposure is inevitable. That’s why noise—confusion, distraction, endless narratives—is the only weapon left for the structure working behind the scenes.

Sometimes I get the "villain" urge to fuck around and automate the entire healthcare system just to see how much legacy bullshit I can wipe out on the way.

This is one of those rare moments where time slows down where you realize you’re standing in the middle of something you’ll tell stories about for the rest of your life. It’s the feeling of everything shifting, but so subtly that the world around you doesn’t even flinch. You look around, and most people are still asleep, still scrolling, still numbed by routine. But you’re awake. You feel it in your chest that quiet, electric tension between the old world fading and a new one being born. You remember the doubt, the isolation, the long nights wondering if you were crazy. You remember the early convictions that felt so fragile back then. And now, even if no one claps for you, even if no one sees it yet you truly know. It’s proof that holding the line, trusting your gut, and staying grounded through the chaos meant something. You’re not just watching history. You’re in it. this is just the beginning.

Conviction and courage matter far more than being early. Imagine this someone who bought early, 20 BTC at $100. They spent just $2,000 but sold it all at $1,000, pocketing $20K and disappearing forever. That’s the typical early exit story. Now picture someone who didn’t buy early, but bought right. In 2020, Bitcoin crashes 25% to $15K. While everyone panics, they deploy $150K and grab 10 BTC. Fast forward to $1 million per coin they’re sitting on $10 million. All because they had conviction when the market was bleeding. Or take the one who buys 2 BTC at $70K during 2021’s peak. Price crashes to $30K instead of whining, they double down, buy 4 more BTC. Then in 2022, another dip to $16K, they stack again now holding 10 BTC total. At $1 million BTC, they’re at $10 million off multiple conviction buys. Buying fear, that’s the formula. Timing didn’t make the difference. Courage did. Being early helps, but it’s conviction that builds empires.

Bitcoin just breached the simulation. History will remember bitcoin as the money that ascended beyond control.

Ever notice how each social network leaves you with a different emotional residue? that’s not random. it’s design. not just by the companies but by the shadow players upstream. russia’s touch feels like apathy. scroll long enough and your will dissolves. you stop caring, stop believing. the goal isn’t persuasion = it’s paralysis. “nothing’s true, so why try?” china leaves you with obedience. or maybe shame. you sense that you’re being watched. so you stay quiet. smooth edges. no chaos. just algorithms nudging you into submission, one clean feed at a time. the U.S.? you walk away feeling addicted, hyped, angry, tribal. it’s all dopamine and division. they don’t censor = they stimulate. keep you buzzing, scrolling, fighting. you think you’re choosing sides. really, you’re just feeding the machine. UK? that cold, cynical irony. memes on memes. clever, disarming, empty. nothing matters, but it’s funny. the crown found a way to turn skepticism into sedation. israel? precision. eerily targeted. you feel like the ad knows your past. it probably does. their psyops run like startups. lean, personal, surgical. france? it’s the vibe of elite contempt. curated feeds, soft power. you’re allowed in = but never quite belong. the gate is velvet, but it’s still a gate. not saying every post is an op. just saying… you can often feel who wrote the script.

X is down, Nostr is up. Bitcoin is up.

In the American experiment, taxes were originally a rallying cry against tyranny “no taxation without representation” wasn’t merely a slogan, it was a declaration that the fruits of one’s labor should not be seized by a distant authority without consent. The Boston Tea Party wasn’t about the price of tea, it was about the principle that a free people should never be reduced to the role of involuntary funders of imperial agendas. The Constitution encrusted this distrust direct federal taxation was heavily limited, with the income tax seen as anathema to liberty. But that changed in 1913 with the ratification of the 16th Amendment, under the guise of fairness and necessity, the federal government claimed permanent, unlimited access to private earnings. World wars expanded that reach. Today, the tax code has become a labyrinth designed not to raise revenue efficiently, but to manipulate behavior, reward allies, and punish dissent. The IRS, once unthinkable in a free republic, now holds more power than the average citizen can challenge. We have gone from rebellion over a tea tax to quiet compliance with the annual seizure of more than half our productivity. Taxes are no longer a means to fund liberty, they are the price of forfeiting it. What began as a tool of self-government has inverted into a tool of surveillance, coercion, and economic servitude. The means became the end, and the citizen became the collateral.

Civilizations scale directly by how much energy we capture and coordinate. We are not stuck because we lack physics, We are stuck because our systems can’t agree on how to build. Type I = Full control of a planet’s energy Type II = Full control of a star Type III = Full control of a galaxy That’s the game. Most people are playing the wrong one. Fiat can’t scale us. Civilization-level infrastructure needs money that settles faster than courts and resists collapse. Bitcoin fixes the Kardashev bottleneck. + Proof-of-work = energy native + Final settlement = planetary speed + Borderless capital = long-range coordination + Mining = the first real buyer of surplus energy, anywhere You want more dams, more solar, more nuclear? Bitcoin gives them instant cashflow before they even find a buyer. It creates the only incentive to overbuild capacity. That’s how you climb. Every watt mined is a vote for civilization-scale throughput. The fiat world tells you to use less. Bitcoin tells you to build more. That's the difference between decline and ascension.

Who is exclusively here in primal? That i need to follow and keep up with thank you in advance!

China’s 2021 Bitcoin mining ban may have been the single greatest self-inflicted wound in a geopolitical era by exiling an industry it once dominated, China didn’t just reduce energy consumption = it severed its grip on the emergent nexus of decentralized infrastructure, allowing the U.S. to absorb not just hashpower but the architecture for AI-aligned data centers, sovereign energy grids, and post-dollar monetary rails; while China focused on top-down control and CBDCs, the U.S. inadvertently gained a bottom-up, globally-adopted monetary protocol that can now be tied to energy policy, national defense, and digital trade routes; in this light, Bitcoin mining was never just about coins = it was a digital Manhattan Project, and by vacating the field they may have lost the digital softwar.

We got spot Bitcoin ETFs. That was a major milestone. But there’s still a flaw: cash redemptions. Institutions can redeem ETF shares for dollars instead of actual bitcoin. That means bitcoin can flow in and out of the ETF without touching the network, without buying or selling real BTC. It opens the door to paper bitcoin: financial claims that dilute the real thing. In-kind redemption closes that door. It requires that ETF shares be exchanged for real bitcoin. No shortcuts. No proxies. Every redemption means actual BTC moves on-chain. That ties ETF activity directly to the real market, aligns supply and demand, and reinforces price discovery based on truth, not IOUs. The ETF is a bridge, but only in-kind redemptions ensure it connects to bitcoin’s real foundation. Until then, we’re still letting legacy finance create illusions in a system built to end them. How can we force this:

When the dust settles from trade wars, AI revolutions, and dollar decay, one asset remains untouched by manipulation, corruption, or control 21 million units of incorruptible energy, secured by time and math. It starts by swallowing the $1T store-of-value niche… (we are here) Then moves into $20T of gold, $100T of global bonds and real estate, Until it becomes the base layer of all serious capital from sovereign treasuries to self-custodied AI agents. As the world scrambles for trust, America has a chance to lead not with coercion, but with credibility. A republic rebuilt on true pillars And if we get it right, America doesn’t just stay on top It becomes the gravitational center of a new monetary era. This is how empires don’t fall. This is how they evolve.

The thing is, The majority of the world sees Bitcoin  as an extremely risky asset, which is literally the complete opposite. It is the safest and most conservative asset/property to allocate your purchasing power to. That is the asset I want to be in, the one that older generations think is extremely risky and the younger generations think is a boring and conservative way to increase purchasing power. It is impressive how humans cannot decipher the simple thesis behind this asset, whereas Bitcoiners could literally point out +10 extremely compelling theses on why it is important to own Bitcoin.

Somewhere between 2025 and 2026, The level of money printing will be unparalleled in our lifetimes. This, coinciding with the fact that it's a post-halving year (BTC) (we all know the implications of that).🤔 This is game theory at its finest! Please accumulate satoshis. Don't be on the wrong side of history. You work for your money. They print it out of nothing.

Bitcoin will consume most of the energy in the world, Let's answer the questions, hear me out, For one, +Bitcoin mining must stay economically rewarding through PoW. +Energy markets must continue to have inefficiencies or stranded energy sources, incentivizing miners. +Bitcoin’s decentralization and security model must still depend on computational proof derived from energy expenditure. +Public perception must accept, or at least tolerate, Bitcoin’s energy consumption as justified by its utility and security. For the second, +Significant technological breakthroughs in renewable energy storage or transmission that eliminate energy waste, removing incentives for miners. +An unexpected shift in Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism away from PoW (though improbable), dramatically reducing energy reliance. +Global regulatory frameworks placing heavy penalties on energy-intensive mining practices, severely diminishing profitability. For the third, +Discovery and mass deployment of extremely cheap, nearly limitless clean energy sources (e.g., fusion), making energy cost trivial. +A major global event (economic, environmental, or political) drastically shifts public consensus toward either strongly embracing or categorically rejecting energy-intensive industries like Bitcoin mining. +Massive governmental adoption of Bitcoin as energy infrastructure support, effectively integrating mining into national grid systems and energy policy, transforming Bitcoin mining into a public utility.
