My Clawdbot gives me a weekly report on Mondays about things it thinks I should know. Here's what it thinks caused the bitcoin crash this weekend 👇🏼

THE THREE-HEADED MONSTER
This wasn't one event. Three forces hit simultaneously in thin weekend liquidity:
1. Geopolitical Shock — U.S.-Iran Escalation
Military escalation reports hit Saturday. Classic risk-off. Bitcoin, being 24/7, became the "world's ATM" — sold first to cover losses. Same pattern as COVID and Liberation Day tariffs.
2. Hard Money Reset — Gold and Silver Got Wrecked Too
Gold dropped 9% Friday to ~$4,900. Silver crashed 26% to $85. The Kevin Warsh Fed nomination sent the dollar surging, making dollar-priced assets too expensive for international buyers. Massive de-risking across ALL hard assets — not just bitcoin.
3. Liquidation Cascade
$2.5B in leveraged longs liquidated in 24 hours. 200,000 traders blown out. Forced selling triggers lower prices triggers more forced selling. Liquidity never recovered after the Oct 10 crash, making thin weekend books even more fragile.

How do you think it did?
Your dollars are losing value by design.
Your kids are being indoctrinated (educated) by design.
Both systems were built by people who don’t have your family’s best interests in mind.
You can opt out of both. Most people won’t.
And that’s your advantage.
My 9 year old asked me yesterday why we don't send them to regular school. I told him the truth: because I don't want strangers deciding what you're allowed to think. He said 'that makes sense.' Kids get it faster than adults.
Jesus is King. Happy Sunday :)
If my wife and I weren’t homeschooling our kids, the world would teach them to seek approval.
My job is to teach them to seek truth.
One makes them dependent on crowds.
The other sets them up to succeed in a world that craves compliance.
But I don’t want to raise people-pleasers.
I want to raise independent kids who can stand for truth, even if it means standing alone.
The best thing about running a business while raising four kids is they see the real version. The wins, the stress, the early mornings. They're not learning entrepreneurship from a textbook. They're watching it happen at the dinner table.
Homeschooling four kids isn't efficient.
It's intentional.
Efficiency optimizes for output. Intention optimizes for OUTCOME.
This is why we do it.
That time @88_sats waxed me in 100F weather
I am coming for you Jor.
How are my clawdbot homies getting their robots around recaptcha?
Or is mine just super dumb 😅
10/10 underrated game
My first time playing this was with my kids. And I didn't win
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing lol
My job as a father isn't to make life easy for my kids.
It's to make them capable of handling hard things without me.
Comfort is a loan, competence is an inheritance.
New Bitcoin (Wishing) Well design is out
New odds to win 1,000,000 sats too ;)

But I don’t want to raise
Geopolitical tensions aren’t rising because leaders suddenly got worse.
They’re rising because the monetary system that artificially held everything together for 50 years is breaking.
When the dollar loses reserve status, alliances reshape, and we all know this transition won’t be smooth.
Position accordingly (buy bitcoin).

Unpopular take: monarchs have better incentive alignment than democracies.
Why?
Their legacy is their children’s inheritance.
They think in generations, not election cycles.
Our democracy has leaders who think in quarters and produce citizens who can’t think past next month.
We traded long-term vision for short-term wins.
We need structures that reward long-term thinking again.
What do you think that looks like?
Traditional portfolio advice: own stocks, bonds, real estate, gold.
Translation: stay diversified across instruments controlled or influenced by the same centralized system.
That’s not diversification. That’s multiple doors into the same corrupt house.
