If you bought $100 worth of #bitcoin each of the 477 times the media declared it dead (from 2010 to 2025), you would have over $200 million today.

“Ironic if we end up having to choose between economic liberty and conservation. If #bitcoin grew to consume significant energy, I think it would still be less wasteful than the labour and resource intensive conventional banking activity it would replace. The cost would be an order of magnitude less than the billions in banking fees that pay for all those brick and mortar buildings, skyscrapers and junk mail credit card offers.”
-Satoshi Nakamoto, May 3, 2009
#Stoicism is an ancient Greco-Roman philosophy from around 300 BCE that is based on the principle that the practice of virtue should be the ultimate pursuit in life.
Virtues in everyday life include wisdom, courage, self-control, justice, and live lived in harmony with nature.
#Bitcoin mining is the only profitable use of energy in human history that does not need to be located near human settlement to operate. The long-term implications of this are world changing and hiding in plain sight. Historically, our energy challenge has been to move the power to the people. With Bitcoin, we can move the people to the power.
#Bitcoin verses #Gold
Returns since 2017.


Under the gold standard, U.S. dollar notes bore the words "The United States of America will pay to the bearer on demand."
In 1963, these words were eliminated from all newly issued currency notes. In 1968, as a precursor to the Nixon Shock, redemption of pre-1963 notes for gold or silver officially ended.
Over 60 years of fraud.

Data (ranging trom images and texts to small programs) can be embedded directly onto the #bitcoin timechain by attaching them to a satoshi.
These instances demonstrate bitcoin's use as an *immutable repository able to preserve information beyond the reach of censorship* or alteration.
Personal messages and tributes, ranging from marriage proposals to memorials, have been permanently recorded on the bitcoin timechain.
#Bitcoin is energy-money denominated in time.
“Using #Bitcoin for consumer purchases is akin to driving a Concorde jet down the street to pick up groceries.” @Saifedean Ammous
#BITCOIN is a digital incarnation of physical certainty.
#Bitcoin will always be the most valuable thing because it is the only immutably scarce asset.
You're not going to want to sell it; you'll only wish you had acquired more.
If you're sitting at the blackjack table and magically develop the ability to see blackjack coming, bet big. When you hold the winning hand, the only way to lose is not to play the game.

When you put your money in a bank, you're loaning it to a country.
When you buy a stock, you're loaning it to a management team.
When you buy a building, you're loaning it to a mayor.
When you buy bitcoin, you're loaning it to the gods of freedom.
19.9M bitcoin exist. By 2034, there will be 20.8M. That's where 99% of all the bitcoin will have been mined. The last 200K BTC will come out over 106 years.
#Bitcoin becomes the world's first deflationary asset. There are no textbooks on this, as there's never been anything like it.

Isaac Newton gave us calculus: engineering-grade mathematics.
Andrew Carnegie gave us steel: engineering-grade metal.
Satoshi Nakamoto gave us Bitcoin: engineering-grade money.

“The world is over-educated in equities and ETF’s while under-educated in sound money and Bitcoin. In 30 years, I've never had a person in a suit show up to my office and pitch me on a simple investment strategy like buying a high-quality property and holding it forever. The same way, I've never had a doctor pitch me on fasting. Why? Because nobody gets paid. The guy in the suit doesn't get paid. The CEO doesn't get paid. The doctor doesn't get paid. The pharmaceutical company doesn't get paid. Ultimately, it's up to ethical educators to tell the world why things like living healthy or owning #Bitcoin are imperatives.” @Michael Saylor

Many don’t get that when rates drop it makes arbitrage more profitable and the fiat dollar less attractive.
Strategy #MSTR is now making it seamless for the whole world to beat inflation for the first time ever. Traditional bonds are dead and this is a $300T market.

Focusing only on fixing tax policy, government spending, and the regulatory apparatus is like trying to fix the windows on the hundredth foor of a building while a single Jenga block is supporting the foundation.
The core problem that #bitcoin solves is the foundation. Then everything improves.
The best way to know the future is to build it yourself.
In many ways, bitcoin is not just a secret hiding in plain sight. It is the greatest secret that exists in the world. Once someone figures it out, they want to help others figure it out too.
