Jesus did the proof of work. He suffered and died for sins he didn’t commit in order to defeat death and redeem us to God. He said on the cross, “It is finished.” Now he is seated on his throne at the right hand of God until the Almighty destroys his enemies, humiliating them by crushing them beneath the Lord’s feet. Gotta love it. #devotional image
Venezuela Just Proved the Bitcoin Bull Case, And No One Is Paying Attention Maduro used Tether to move 80% of Venezuela's oil revenue. Billions in sanctions evasion, settled on Tron since 2020. Then the US made a phone call. Tether froze the wallets. Game over. Everyone's focused on the arrest. The real story is the lesson every finance minister on earth just learned in real time: Stable coins are a leash, not an escape. If someone can freeze it, it isn't money. It doesn't solve sovereignty. First principles: USDT is dollar plumbing without SWIFT. Faster. Cheaper. Still has a CEO. Still has a compliance department. Still picks up when Washington calls. This is why USDT adoption exploded, 71-year-old grandmothers in Caracas pay their HOA fees in tether now. But useful ≠ sovereign. The entire value proposition for sanctions evasion just got publicly falsified. Now do the game theory: You're Iran. Russia. Any country hedging against dollar weaponization. You just watched Venezuela's "crypto solution" get shut off like a light switch. Where do you put reserves now? USDT? Compromised. Yuan? Political strings. Gold? Try settling $500M across borders in 10 minutes. CBDCs? Same kill switch, government branding. There's exactly one asset that clears final settlement without asking permission from anyone. 21 million units. No CEO. No freeze function. No phone number. This is the ad Bitcoin never had to buy. The most desperate, highest-stakes capital on earth just learned there's only one door. Price doesn't reflect it yet. It will.
