Like so many of you, I’ve been having a very difficult time processing the senseless act of evil and violence that took Charlie Kirk’s life.
Charlie was a man of deep faith, and I take comfort in my belief that his soul is now experiencing eternal peace with his Creator. What has weighed most heavily on my heart all week is not just the loss of his inspiring voice, but thinking about his wife Erika and her unimaginable pain, and their two beloved children – who are far too young to understand why their father won’t be coming home. Seeing Erika grieving beside his casket and hearing that their daughter has been asking “where is daddy?” has gutted me.
A coward robbed them of life’s most precious and priceless gifts: growing old together, watching their children grow, and building memories as a family.
I don’t often speak on politics publicly because things have become so divided and frankly because I have been disenchanted by both parties throughout my life. I’ve chosen to stay in my lane because the one thing that has given me hope in this broken world is Bitcoin. Not because it belongs to one side or the other, but because I believe it is something that we can all eventually get behind together.
What truly unites us are deeper truths: freedom, connection, love, faith, and hope. Charlie understood this.
I firmly believe the deeper source of our division, and the despair we see everywhere today, is a symptom of the corruption of our money. When money is monopolized for the benefit of a select few and stripped of its integrity, everything in society begins to erode – our morals, our responsibility, our long-term vision, even our sense of purpose. That is the world we live in today, where too many young people have lost hope.
And yet Charlie rose in that moment. He awakened a movement of young people who were handed a mountain of debt, broken institutions, and a world stripped of trust, and he inspired them to believe in a better future. That’s extraordinary.
Charlie embodied so much of what our community aspires to: courage, truth, responsibility. And I have long believed that he was poised to become one of Bitcoin’s strongest and most eloquent advocates.
There are two things you cannot kill: a soul, and an idea. I pray deeply for Charlie’s soul, and I know the ideas he championed will live on in the hearts of millions.
I pray for his family, his friends, his community, and his followers. He left behind a lasting and important legacy. And because of him, I believe more people will be moved to find purpose and peacefully fight for their freedoms, in whatever ways they can. God bless Charlie.
As a dear friend so eloquently put it: Charlie will now do his work from above, and it’s up to us to take it from here.
We are in a fourth turning
Dave Collum went on Tucker Carlson’s show and said the state will crush Bitcoin. So I brought him on my podcast to spar a bit about his views 🤺

ICYMI, great conversation with Jeff Park touching on a lot of evergreen topics:
My 101 book, Bitcoin is For Everyone, is almost here. It’s my most important project yet: a roadmap to financial freedom in a world of broken money.
It unpacks why life keeps getting more expensive, why wages lag, and why so many feel stuck working harder for less.
Most importantly, it shows how Bitcoin offers hope and a path to lasting economic empowerment and freedom.
It’s written to be clear, relatable, and uplifting, whether you’re brand new to Bitcoin or already deep down the rabbit hole.
