The Federal Reserve is the Shirky Principal. Thanks, Pal.

The No Kings protest actually started on January 3, 2009, when the Genesis Block was mined. With the separation of Money and State, the world has no kings and the power belongs to the people. Rules without rulers is our generations’ protest, our revolution, our hope.

“If we practice mindfulness, we will know how to look deeply into the nature of war, and, with our insight, wake people up so that together we can avoid repeating the same horrors again and again… The war is in us, but is also in everyone… Everything is ready to explode, and we are all co-responsible.”

The Bitcoin mining ecosystem creates an open bounty for all unpriced global energy. As the Joule Paradox states: energy sets the value for Bitcoin and Bitcoin sets the value of energy. Therefore, Bitcoin sets the marginal price floor for this energy. It's the ultimate energy sink—if no one else buys, Bitcoin miners do. They serve as a buyer of last resort for surplus energy. This now incentivizes economic actors around the world to produce energy more efficiently. In macro terms, Bitcoin behaves like a mathematical constant—like π or the golden ratio—for global price signals. A self-regulating thermodynamic monetary standard for the energy grid. A macroeconomic thermostat or feedback loop for pure price discovery and energy distribution. This is all possible only because Bitcoin is the first technology that directly transforms energy into a unit of account. Because SHA-256 proof-of-work crystallizes expended energy into incorruptible, immutable information. The blockchain economy coordinates all human activity to self-organize around the one thing that can’t be faked, the currency of the universe itself: energy. So practically, pragmatically, logistically, and economically, Bitcoin doesn't waste energy—it discovers it.

At the end of the day, corporatists and oligarchs will meet at the rock bottom of the horseshoe.

Bitcoin is the right of the people to peacefully assemble and to petition the government for the redress of grievances, and the free exercise thereof. To wit: we are exercising our freedom of speech to assemble a public ledger that redresses the universal grievance of time theft and silent taxation by inflation.

"Threats, violence, censorship — all are the weapons of those who fear open debate and free exchange. When argument fails, the club appears." We only have two choices: war or words.

Bitcoin is the Singularity of finance.

“It is as if the true burden of this responsibility—the responsibility to escape from the meaninglessness and drudgery of a godless world by constructing a happier meaning for it out of nothing, literally ex nihilo as God himself once had done—was too much for any human spirit to achieve. It is a possibility that requires us to become gods ourselves.”

“Censorship of any form punishes curiosity.”

“Over the long arc of time, from a saver's perspective it will almost always be better to hold a scarce commodity money directly than to hold the promise made by a kingdom, empire, or nation-state. The former is subject to the firm laws of nature, while the latter is subject to the fallibility of mankind.”

The secret to happiness is freedom. The secret to freedom is courage.

“Why, for instance, do we refer to Christ as the ‘redeemer’? The primary meaning of ‘redemption’ is to buy something back, or to recover something that had been given up in security for a loan; to acquire something by paying off a debt. It is rather striking to think that the very core of the Christian message, salvation itself, the sacrifice of God's own son to rescue humanity from eternal damnation, should be framed in the language of a financial transaction.”

Did you know: the Federal Reserve quietly changed its reserve target to 0% on March 26, 2020? But here’s the real question: do you know what happened on March 27, 2020?
