You spent years in school.
Nobody explained how money gets created.
Even in economics class you just take it as a given...
The curriculum came from the same system that prints the money.
That's not a secret. It's just incentives.

A daily live show about the monetary transition from fiat to Bitcoin - AI deflation, energy abundance, and the restoration of humanity. Hosted by Ricky Zhang. Live weekdays at 10am PT / 1pm ET. Clips daily.
Economists say if prices fall, people stop spending.
So ask yourself.
If food got cheaper next year, would you stop eating?
You'd still buy the home, the furniture, the gifts.
You'd just buy less garbage.
Can two people hold the same bitcoin and get different value from it?
Yes.
The one who doesn't understand it sells in a drawdown - or borrows against it at the worst moment.
Understanding is the asset.
The money in your bank account isn't a thing you own.
It's the bank's debt to you.
Your paycheck is just the bank changing whose IOU it is...
No dollars move.
An Excel sheet changes who's owed.
Wars are deeply unpopular.
So why do they keep happening?
Because they're not paid for with taxes you can see and refuse.
They're paid for by printing money - quietly.
Your no never gets asked.
Every reserve currency is the spoils of a war.
The winner sets the monetary rules - the rest of us live under them.
That's what Bretton Woods was.
Those rules held for decades. They're fraying now.
The chaos you see is the old terms breaking down.
Everyone says it gets harder to make real friends after 25.
Then I found Bitcoin.
Two years of it gave me more real friends than the fifteen years before - people I actually trust and share values with.
Turns out sound money builds a nation.
The AI bulls are right: cost falls to the cost of electricity.
Massive deflation is coming.
But they skip the hard part - that future only arrives if the money changes too.
Keep the old money and the system has to fight the deflation by force.
Debt-based money can't sit still.
If it shrinks, debts cascade into defaults.
So the only stable mode is more.
That's why the printing never stops.
Why does the next politician pass the same bill as the last one?
Swap the person - you keep the incentives.
The structure selects for them.
Money people can control is the root.
Bitcoin fixed that in 2009.
Bhutan has been mining Bitcoin for five years.
It's now 40 to 50 percent of their GDP.
No IMF loans, no legacy strings.
They're paying public servants more.
And funding a whole new city with it.
This isn't theory anymore.
They added hydration breaks to the World Cup.
Not for the players...
They're ad slots in disguise.
More teams, more games, more attention to SELL.
The tournament got worse for fans.
That's when it got better for the balance sheet.
A sleepy Bedford football club got funded in Bitcoin by Peter McCormack.
Four years later, four promotions.
Its balance sheet sits on money that can't be printed.
Every rival's sits on money that can.
Early adoption is the advantage.
A Bitcoin miner is just a chip spinning trillions of times a second.
What comes off it is HEAT.
Real heat that warms a house, a greenhouse, a sauna...
So your heater earns Bitcoin while it keeps you warm.
The bill runs the other way now.
A rioter told a reporter: we have no property, why should I respect property rights?
That's not lawlessness.
It's what happens when most people own nothing that holds value.
A stake in the system is what makes you defend it.
A dollar is debt.
That debt has to expand.
So the money has to debase.
Bitcoin is the opposite.
It's backed by energy already spent.
Its supply can't grow past 21 million.
These aren't two versions of money.
They're opposite physics.
Bitcoin does the same thing every ten minutes.
A new block, like clockwork.
When the price swings, that's not Bitcoin moving.
It's the dollar moving against it.
You're measuring the ruler with the thing it's measuring.
The plan is for the government to own half of AI.
Then redistribute the gains.
But AI's whole job is to make things CHEAPER.
It crashes the price of everything.
So the fund matures with nothing in it.
The deflation was the gain all along.
Bitcoin mining is a brutal hunt for the cheapest power on earth.
If your energy costs more than you earn, you lose.
Those losses compound until you're gone.
So miners migrate to the cheapest energy nobody else wanted.
2008 bailed out the banks.
2020 bailed out everyone.
Same move: print new money to keep the system standing.
Each round hits faster and harder than the last.
That rhythm is the one we live in now.
