This is the Victims of Communism Memorial. Most people visit Washington, DC and never see it. It's easy to miss because it's small and tucked away on New Jersey Ave next to Georgetown Law, several blocks away from The Mall. It is dedicated "To the more than one hundred million victims of communism and to those who love liberty." Yesterday, a new mayor was inaugurated in New York City who promised to "replace rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism." Collectivist ideology is un-American and leads to totalitarian dictatorship. It is easy to paint "individualism" as selfish. But what the new mayor fails to understand is that individualism is about liberty. And liberty is what America is all about. It always has been and it always will be. Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. It is time for Americans to remember that we have inalienable rights, endowed upon us by God. Among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God bless America.

It's is very easy to get people using Bitcoin if you offer them delicious burgers, dogs, fries, wings and beers, then offer them a 21% discount if they pay with Bitcoin. I think we cracked the code @PUBKEY

I believe the most effective orange pilling technique is to build incredible things and stack corn. Show don't tell. Others will follow your lead.

The external world is one big PSYOP. How is one to respond? Run your own PSYOP on yourself. Write your own programming. Fill your mind, body, and spirit with whatever gives you strength, courage, wisdom, love, and light. You do that and the external world CAN'T TOUCH YOU. You become unbreakable. Their PSYOPS bounce off of you like a bullet bounces off of Superman. "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." Easy to forget this Truth, but important to remind ourselves from time to time.

Dark times create an opportunity for you to shine your light. Hard times give you the opportunity to become a strong man. It's all about perspective. We have a remarkable opportunity in front of us.

Europe is going to hell in a hand basket. Again. I cannot see how the EU and NATO still exists in 2030.

Becoming an entrepreneur taught me that self-belief and conviction is everything. Without that, you are lost. What it also taught me is that you have to marry that with humility and flexibility. Without that, you are also lost. You have to have unmatched belief in yourself that you will figure things out, and you have to be willing to face reality and change your ways when you realize you were wrong about something. Conviction paired with patience and humility is a powerful combination.
