2029 Bitcoin overtakes all Gold. 2034 Bitcoin overtakes all FIAT. 2037 Bitcoin overtakes all combined wealth of the world. The governments of the world will work for us whether they like it or not. We have already won, they just don't know it yet.

It is a mistake to assume things will fail unless they find ways to extract value from users. Providing value to people is success, extracting value is failure.

No individual has any right to authority over any other.

Perhaps we should start thinking of Bitcoin Miners as Bitcoin Mints. They are after all one and the same.

"I have paid no poll-tax for six years. I was put into a jail once on this account, for one night; and, as I stood considering the walls of solid stone, two or three feet thick, the door of wood and iron, a foot thick, and the iron grating which strained the light, I could not help being struck with the foolishness of that institution which treated me as if I were mere flesh and blood and bones, to be locked up. I wondered that it should have concluded at length that this was the best use it could put me to, and had never thought to avail itself of my services in some way. I saw that, if there was a wall of stone between me and my townsmen, there was a still more difficult one to climb or break through, before they could get to be as free as I was. I did not for a moment feel confined, and the walls seemed a great waste of stone and mortar. I felt as if I alone of all my townsmen had paid my tax. They plainly did not know how to treat me, but behaved like persons who are underbred. In every threat and in every compliment there was a blunder; for they thought that my chief desire was to stand the other side of that stone wall. I could not but smile to see how industriously they locked the door on my meditations, which followed them out again without let or hindrance, and they were really all that was dangerous. As they could not reach me, they had resolved to punish my body; just as boys, if they cannot come at some person against whom they have a spite, will abuse his dog. I saw that the State was half-witted, that it was timid as a lone woman with her silver spoons, and that it did not know its friends from its foes, and I lost all my remaining respect for it, and pitied it." - Henry David Thoreau in Civil Disobedience

The future is commodity money in self custody. MOE = Medium Of Exchange --- Old system: Digital MOE: Custodian FIAT dollars. Physical MOE: Self Custody FIAT paper dollars. --- New system: Digital MOE: Self Custody Bitcoin. Physical MOE: Self Custody Gold and Silver Rounds.

Stay humble and stack sats.

Understanding things that others don't, wanting to explain them but not knowing how, can be very lonely sometimes.

Those of us who are retired on Bitcoin, are basically living on an app. Bitcoin is literally just an app. An app that is about to change the world.

Bitcoin historically bounces around 1.05x the trend line which we just dipped under. Trend line price $103,500 Bitcoin price $108,500. Current ratio of Price / Trendline of 1.048. During the major tariff crash to $75k earlier this year it dipped to 0.96x the Trendline for 4 days before bouncing and ultimately hitting $124k not too long ago. Ultimately the trend line is just extrapolation based on history, and past performance does not predict future results of course, but it'll be interesting to see if the trend line holds yet again over the next week or two before we see another bounce. I'm looking at a possibility of ~$150k~ within 8 weeks if the previous pattern repeats, and that pump was rather small compared to history. We'll see.
