The real difference between *money* and *wealth*: “He who works his land will have abundant food (#bitcoin), but the one who chases fantasies (#fiat) will have his fill of poverty.” -Proverbs 28:19

We’re still early in the use of big data to steer crowds. A movement that has been progressively refined over the last 50 yrs but *is* what will wield the most power going forward. I’ll call it “The Unseen War”. Hiding in plain sight. Felt by everyone seen by only a few.

Another case of history repeating itself… Bush pushed DHS forward which was further expanded/abused by Obama, whichever you prefer. However, historical context sheds 💡on the truth. Decades, centuries, and people are different, though mankind generally behaves the same.

The biggest takeaway from the 2023 Bitcoin Conf / #[6]​ was the energy, interest, and capital looking to back infrastructure that will power financial liquidity for future generations. A quick history of how liquidity crises led us to #Bitcoin. Money has moved over networks for centuries. Originally, gold moved by land and water through a network of ports and shipping lanes, until lack of speed and liquidity issues forced change. Paper notes & treasuries replaced gold for faster value transfer until liquidity & foreign exchange problems arose again in the 1960s & 70s. So, Central Banks created a digital network, SWIFT, to increase money velocity & solve liquidity distress. With central and commercial banks online and individuals having access to PCs, email, and web browsers the barrier to information finally broke. This launching of the internet sparked a wave of innovation and liquidity that led to the globalization of businesses and people. #Bitcoin's creation resolves the liquidity issues that resurfaced in 2008 and are ongoing today. This monetary protocol ties together our past networks, while adding security, and allowing information and value to flow freely throughout the 🌎. Money is not wealth. It isn't for hoarding. It's for multiplying. Money guided by principles and diversified talent is what builds wealth that lasts for generations. Whether routed through ports, servers, or nodes connectivity & access are what have made money valuable. Liquidity crises are a sign that our money and the way we use it need complete reformation. We need to ask the right questions for understanding how to get back on rails that lead to real wealth vs. values that inflate our bank accounts.
