Beyond family & close friends, the few who should truly have your best interests at heart, it’s increasingly difficult to know who can be trusted. Faith in government has eroded. Employers act in their own interests. Even institutions once viewed as moral anchors no longer feel immune. The world has come to feel zero-sum & self-serving, forcing us to move through it guarded and defensive… not by choice, but by necessity. Bitcoin stands in contrast. While its market is often manipulated by external actors seeking to exploit price, the protocol itself remains mathematically engineered for truth; transparent, verifiable, and rule-based. In a system increasingly shaped by distortion & incentives, Bitcoin may be one of the last remaining vectors of truth.

“We lost touch long ago You lost weight I did not know You could ever look so nice after So much time Do you remember those days hanging out At the village green Engineer boots, leather jackets And tight blue jeans You drop a dime in the box play a Song about New Orleans Cold beer, hot lights My sweet romantic teenage nights”
