In this Bitcoin Whitepaper Day special, marking 17 years since Satoshi published the paper that changed the world, the three reflect on Bitcoin’s wild evolution from a fringe internet experiment to a $2 trillion, geopolitically relevant asset. We discuss how Bitcoin can free society from financial decay, why the future risks sliding into either communism or fascism, and why Bitcoiners must walk the narrow middle path to preserve individual sovereignty. We get into the Trojan horse of institutional adoption, the spiritual war at the heart of money, and what it means to build in an age of surveillance.

https://www.youtube.com/live/mrZ-YR1EeV0 Video description: What if the next wave of illness doesn't come with warning signs — no fever, no cough, no shortness of breath — just sudden collapse? In this video, we explore the disturbing clinical shift predicted by Geert Vanden Bossche: a viral evolution driven by immune tolerance and T cell evasion. As the population becomes increasingly conditioned to ignore the virus — through repeated spike exposure, IgG4 class switching, and immune exhaustion — the virus adapts by going quiet. This is not about shock value — it's about clinical reality: infections without symptoms, immune systems that no longer react, and deaths that occur without a clear cause. From silent sepsis to immune collapse, we break down the pathophysiology that could redefine how people die in the coming phase of the pandemic. Watch closely. What’s coming may not look like COVID at all — and that’s exactly the danger.
