The elites wheeled it inside the city walls proclaiming victory. They got drunk on stablecoins, crypto this and blockchain that. It was a party for the ages. The next morning as the dust settled and the hangover intensified, they realized they were gravely mistaken. They had not won. Far from it actually. They had been taken hostage by a crypto-anarchist militia shielded in cryptography and anonymity. They had won a battle but lost the war. The war of all wars. They had not co-opted Bitcoin. Bitcoin had co-opted them. Money was separated from State. Forever. With State power cut off at the knee, government started serving the interests of the people again. It got smaller. More cooperative. Nature healed and the Bitcoiners danced.

Guns for physical protection. Bitcoin for economic protection. Jesus for eternal protection. Happy Sunday Nostr.

I’m maniacally optimistic. No time for pessimism. Zoom out. The Fed was created in 1913, enforcing fraud as the foundation of the 20th century. Bitcoin was launched in 2009, imposing truth as the foundation for the 21st century. We were born into a dumpster fire. Our children and grandchildren will be born into truth, hope, and abundance. Be bullish.

“Gold and Bitcoin” annoys me. Fiat: Life gets harder. Gold: Life stays the same. Bitcoin: Life gets better. Money converges to one and only Bitcoin can conquer the era of A.I. and a sovereign debt crisis. Lower your time preference, forget the shiny rock, and ape it all into Bitcoin.

GM Nostr, "Life can be tough, sometimes that's the way it goes. But you gotta remember, sometimes it goes the other way too." Brandon flowers of The Killers said that right before their Mr. Brightside encore at Madison Square Garden in January 2018. I was at that show with my brother. I lived in NYC at the time and my brother flew in to see that show with me. It was a blizzard that day. His flight was super delayed but he hightailed it straight from LaGuardia, met me at the venue, and we got to our seats just as the house lights went down. That’s a very special memory. Because a few years later I lost my brother to a fentanyl overdose. That turned my world upside down. He was one of a kind and I miss him every day. But I would have never expected what followed. 10 months later I found Bitcoin. 10 months after that I married my wife. I’ve grown closer to Christ. I share this to say that when life gets hard we have to keep showing up and putting our best foot forward. Even when it seems futile. Life was very challenging there for a bit, but now when I look back and zoom out, that quote keeps coming to mind. "Life can be tough, sometimes that's the way it goes. But you gotta remember, sometimes it goes the other way too." I hope this message finds everyone who needs to hear it. Because it’s meant a lot to me.

Tony would have been proud.
