Notes (20)

With all due respect to any OG Bitcoiner who may be selling Bitcoin due to disenchantment, I would humbly say that this is a lack of focus and perspective. Every day, I have the honour via nostr:nprofile1qqs0hhmrp3zm6dtcg2mpkg29p00pg3lers35hsk5hacrrqj20er3j0sprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumpvaskx6t0w4ekgtnrdakszxmhwden5te0vd58y6tnw3cxjmrv9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5yfrc5g of connecting with local projects around the world that are living out the vision of “peer-to-peer electronic cash”. Freedom money. 100 sats here, 1000 sats there. A local barber, taxi driver, cattle rancher, or corner store on-boarded to Bitcoin. A group of children receiving and then spending sats as reward for their participation in an educational program. A mother saving sats for her child’s future schooling costs. On and on, far away from the boardrooms of Wall Street, the original vision for Bitcoin is very much alive, thriving and growing through local Bitcoin circular economy projects. So, to anyone lamenting the entry of large financial institutions to the Bitcoin ecosystem and the #hodl only mentality, I respectfully say: you’re not looking in the right places. Tune into circular economies and the #spedn vibe. Take a step back, look at and support local Bitcoin circular economy projects. You can find them all listed on fbce.io and you can find how to donate to them (multiple options) via our partner website at bitcoinconfederation.org/explore. If the entry of large institutions to Bitcoin frustrates you, if you feel that the soul of Bitcoin is in jeopardy, help the amazing people on the ground in communities around the world who are bringing the Bitcoin white paper to life every single day. Please follow and support nostr:nprofile1qqs0hhmrp3zm6dtcg2mpkg29p00pg3lers35hsk5hacrrqj20er3j0sprfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuumpvaskx6t0w4ekgtnrdakszxmhwden5te0vd58y6tnw3cxjmrv9ehx7um5wgcjucm0d5yfrc5g to help us bring Bitcoin circular economies to scale over the months and years ahead.

It’s true. As former Senior Vice President (Canada Region) for Blockbuster, I have no way to prove or disprove claims that anyone may make regarding former employment with us. image

Hubris (a short story) In the year 2029, the global economy trembled—not from war or pandemic, but from a quiet revolution that had been gathering beneath the surface like tectonic pressure. The story began a decade earlier. @Microsoft, @Apple, @Google, and the other titans of Silicon Valley were basking in record profits. Their balance sheets overflowed with trillions in cash and equivalents, most of it parked in U.S. Treasury bonds—low-yield, “safe,” and endorsed by decades of convention. CFOs nodded confidently at board meetings. Risk was for startups. Stability was strategy. But a storm was building, and they refused to look up. In a small but growing corner of the global economy, something different was taking root: Bitcoin. While the tech elite dismissed it as volatile, slow, or worse — a haven for libertarians and groups trying to go around institutions — it kept humming along, block by block. @MicroStrategy, a company dismissed as a curious footnote on @CNBC, quietly continued converting its balance sheet into Bitcoin. Others followed, slowly, and then into a growing wave. Sovereigns too: El Salvador, Bhutan, then Brazil, Czech Republic, and more. A parallel system was forming, one that operated beyond borders, beyond central banks, and beyond the cautious worldview of the titans of corporate America. By 2027, inflation had returned—not the kind central bankers claimed to control, but the kind that eroded real wages and made corporate bonds unattractive. U.S. debt spiraled as interest payments surpassed defense spending. Apple’s $200 billion in cash began to shrink—not in numbers, but in purchasing power. They were rich, yes. But so was Rome, once. Still, they didn’t move. Why risk headlines for a speculative asset? Why anger investors stuck in the modalities of the past, those convinced by Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett and other investing giants of the past that this Bitcoin thing was a speculative fad? Why rock the boat when the tide had always lifted them? Because tides change. When the dollar crisis hit in 2029, it wasn’t sudden. But the consequences were. Treasury yields spiked. Foreign investors and stable-coin companies dumped U.S. debt. The Fed, cornered, scaled up its money printing. The world finally noticed that the emperor’s currency had no clothes. Meanwhile, Strategy’s balance sheet exploded in value, as did those of other corporations that joined the early wave of Bitcoin Treasury Companies. Once small-cap and mid-cap firms, these companies now dwarfed the giants of the past. Countries lined up to mine, secure, and settle in #Bitcoin $BTC. A new monetary standard emerged—not by decree, but by demand. At an emergency summit in Davos, the CEOs of the world’s largest firms gathered in panic. Microsoft’s CFO whispered, “We should have bought Bitcoin back when it was under $100K.” Apple’s board, once lauded for its caution, found itself questioned by shareholders who watched their cash erode in real time. The corporations that once shaped the world had missed the future by clinging to the past. It wasn’t lack of information. It wasn’t bad luck. It was hubris. And hubris, history reminds us, is always punished in the end. $MSFT $AAPL $GOOG $NVDA $TSLA $NFLX

Reflecting on an inspiring experience from this morning. On my run down by Lake Ontario, there is an indigenous encampment drawing attention to consequences of Bill C-5 (One Canadian Economy Act) and a variety of outstanding Treaty issues. I said hello and thanked them for the beautiful smell of sage that was filling the air, after which an Elder invited me over to smudge. Grateful for the gift, we began speaking about different issues pertaining to their grievances (very legitimate, centuries old grievances). It opened an opportunity to speak to the Elder and a couple of others about Bitcoin and the potential for economic sovereignty (and by extension, other forms of sovereignty). I told them about the work my colleagues Suman Kumar and nostr:npub1zvu0wuq4rf5839sangchz8h7rq6ejp22zhvn8sncwc3eaq987qds66w2ya are doing to nurture dialogue and learning about Bitcoin with Cree community members in the province of Quebec. The beautiful thing: they got it. The concepts resonated. They were interested to learn more. I’ll be going back to speak with them again and to share some resources. It reminded me that a myriad of groups, communities, nations stand to benefit from the opportunity Bitcoin presents to (figuratively) bulldoze gates, fences, and enforcers that prevent them from achieving autonomy and sovereignty. I we can find more openings and opportunities to engage First Nations, Inuit, and other native communities throughout the Americas regarding Bitcoin. We, the creator’s children, and future generations, all stand to benefit. image

Man, I would love to have heard the presentation and walked beside the buyer for a minute just to see if any wheels were actually turning. 🤣 image
