Proof to @Michael Saylor‘s point about stock returns being the true inflation rate. Stocks and gold have been #inflation hedges. Asset allocation matters. #Bitcoin will likely be on this chart in the next 50 years snippet.

“A scurrying mouse is in many respects just a revved-up, scaled-down, ponderous elephant.” - Scale by Geoffrey West The point here is that rats have a very short life and elephants a very long life. 🐀 scurrying and chase after everything. Elephants do not. MSM, social media like Meta, Instagram, TikTok, etc — creates rats > short life spans. Long form, deep thought and intentional work creates 🐘s. They may be slow, but have extended lives. Scale proves the biology and Physics behind the why. The choice is yours. Which do you want to be?

Hot take: opening with GM all the time is. Facebook / Instagram type behavior. Posting relevant news, information, or research is a Twitter behavior.. Jack nails it here around the 1:08:00 -1:12:00 mark.

Information is money. That is why this paradigm shift is so important. It's not about price. It’s about network effects. The application of computers and code can finally integrate money into the same stream of information, data and communication. It’s important bc money has always been a communication tool but highly disjointed from our communication channels. #Bitcoin brings the power of network effects to money and value transmission (see social media and the internet before that).

Anyone else recognizing the shift from MSM networks to podcast networks??? More truth but also starting to get a lot of subliminal conditioning too.

Nice job @ODELL / @CITADEL DISPATCH @jack has the extremely unique ability to see through the noise. He is able to see and call out the core fundamental problem… ATTENTION SPAN. In the United States 🇺🇸 of Consumption and Spending, Attention Span is the scarcest resource. Attention Span is shrinking exponentially.

I’ve asked this a few times before and still don’t seem to get the flow of info on NOSTR. How do you get signal here relative to X? There, there is a constant stream of good info amidst the noise. Here, I don’t even see people’s post that I follow that I know put out good info. How do you solve for this on #NOSTR? Information is so much harder to find and the stream are mostly GMs or memes.

Since November 2024, Bitcoin's price has been dancing within two distinct ranges: 🏓The Outer Bound: 91 to 109 🏓The Inner Bound: 94.5 and 100 These boundaries signal a clear pattern of support & resistance as BTC has digested prior gains. Viewing various timeframes helps to see each with a better perspective.

This is exactly why we moved to #Bitcoin, #NOSTR and AI for search / information. Because perverse incentives of SEO, digital marketing, etc. re-installed barriers to information. It broke the internet. Value was no longer being delivered. We no longer found what we were looking for and instead became a monetized unit of attention. Our greed pushed hijacking attention for profit and people became so addicted they lost interest in being productive. Markets always for the change humans willingly avoid. Yes, these three have deep points of overreaching oversight, and hopefully we avoid that. However, freeing information again is what matters. We can only do that with systems not based on Marketing first approaches. View quoted note →

Money, Currency, and Wealth. Very different terms used too frequently as being interchangeable.

Bitcoin, AI, and the True Nature of Money

Understanding the Difference Between Wealth, Money, and Currency

💰 Money = A store of value across time. Historically, gold and real estate have been the best forms of money. They retain purchasing power but are not instantly liquid. Bitcoin is the first to store value AND be instantaneously liquid. 💵 Currency = A short-term medium of exchange. Currency is man-made, designed to facilitate transactions. They promote grift and always go to zero or change over time (fiat, stocks, baseball cards, clipped coins). 🏛️ Wealth = The underlying principles and value systems that allow civilization to move forward. If money is lost, wealth can still rebuild it. If wealth is destroyed, progress stops entirely.

It is abundantly clear that Stanford is not what everyone thought it was.

Everyone who finds USAID interesting. Just wait until Elon and DOGE lift the covers on the CFR - Council on Foreign Relations or the USAGM - US Agency for Global Media.🍿

For over a century, the global financial system has been built on leveraging paper, fiat currency expansion, and financial engineering by governments, financial institutions, and central banks. Their methodical distortion of money and markets, has pushed us into a world of unsustainable derivatives, hidden leverage, and runaway credit expansion. Now, we face a critical transition: a return to sound money, a purging of systemic leverage, and the restructuring of global monetary order. If managed well, it will be painful but orderly; if not, chaos could ensue. This is the puzzle Trump and Scott Bessent must put together. They have signaled a return to sound money, but the shift won’t happen overnight—expect a multi-phase plan leading us away from fiat and into a system anchored by gold, commodities, and Bitcoin.

What the average Keynesian/ modern monetary theorist / Bitcoin big blocker doesn’t understand about money. “… you and I know that you can be a reserve currency and the price is going to fluctuate based on the market.” - Scott Bessent Video Source 11:47 👉 youtu.be/NlvB93cQ0bI

The importance of the heart cannot be understated. In the Bible, it is one of the most referenced words. In Ray Dalio’s The Big Debt Cycle, he also makes this connection; but for economic systems. PRINCIPLE: the state of the heart determines our outcomes.

Following the money trail always leads to the grifters. It’s very clear what the risk to Democracy is/was. In due time, conspiracies = truth and current “truth’s” are the conspiracy.
