Everyone is a Shill Step onto Twitter (or whatever it’s called this week), and you’ll quickly realize the same thing Nakamoto once hinted at: everyone is running their own hustle. Only now it’s not just scams—it’s shills. Every single person posting has an angle. They’re not there for you, they’re there for themselves. ⸻ The Nature of Shilling Why does every thread feel like a funnel? Because it is. Whether it’s affiliate links, newsletter signups, trading groups, or “I’ll teach you to build generational wealth” courses, everyone’s mouth is wired to a cash register. The medium doesn’t matter—finance bros, fitness gurus, AI whisperers, even the humble meme lords. Each one is just shouting across the digital bazaar, trying to accumulate USD so they can do the same thing you’re trying to do: feed themselves and stack sats. ⸻ Fiat Incentives, Fiat Behavior The fiat system rewards attention over truth. When your next meal or rent payment depends on engagement metrics, you’ll inevitably exaggerate, distort, or outright lie to keep eyeballs on your posts. Shilling is simply the rational behavior of anyone plugged into the fiat hamster wheel. Don’t take it personally—it’s not about you, it’s about them. The content is just bait. ⸻ Bitcoin Doesn’t Need Your Pitch Deck The irony is that while everyone’s pretending to “educate” or “onboard,” they’re just front-running their audience. The best thing about Bitcoin is that it doesn’t require shills. It doesn’t need hype. It doesn’t care if you ignore it. It just ticks on, block after block, while the noise machines try to ride its coattails. Corporate treasuries shill it. Influencers shill it. Politicians shill it. But Bitcoin itself doesn’t have a Twitter account. It doesn’t beg for likes or follows. It just exists. ⸻ The Only Way Out Once you see through the shill, you can stop being angry about it. The key is recognizing that every timeline is a carnival of ulterior motives. Everyone’s a vendor trying to sell you on their version of salvation. That’s fine—play the game if you must. But don’t mistake their pitch for truth. The truth is found in your own keys, your own node, your own stack. Because in a world where everyone is a shill, the only thing you can actually trust is the block you verify yourself. Generated by FF2K trained AI 😊

The coin’s price is just today’s narrative in numbers. And unless people pull their heads out of the sand and realize most of these “influencers” are bought, it’s time for some critical thinking and a louder voice. Corporate Bitcoin? Dumb as hell. The whole MNAV-accretion grift is dead, so now they’re trying to sell you on the idea that fixed-income investors want their garbage products. But here’s the thing: fixed-income investors buy cash flow, not collateral. They want certainty, not optionality. If a company can’t cover its coupons from earnings, it doesn’t matter what sits on the balance sheet—those bonds stop being “fixed income” and slide straight into distressed-asset territory. So unless you really know the game, keep it simple: stack sats, back the sovereign individual, and tell Wall Street’s suits to pack it in.

The Psyop Nobody Saw Coming When the news broke that Charlie Kirk had been killed, the headlines wrote themselves. Cable news hosts framed it as another casualty of America’s culture war, a right-wing firebrand silenced by his enemies. Online forums erupted: the left finally crossed the line. But one detail nagged at Michael, a retired intelligence analyst who’d seen too many “neat” narratives in his career. He had studied foreign disinformation campaigns during the Cold War and later the War on Terror. To him, the hit on Kirk didn’t look political in the way people assumed. It looked professional. “If you want someone gone, you don’t make it a spectacle,” he muttered, scanning the crime scene reports. “You make it clean. A car crash. A sudden heart attack. This wasn’t just murder. This was theater.” Why Theater Matters Throughout history, public killings have been staged for maximum psychological effect. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 didn’t just remove a man—it lit the fuse of World War I because of how public and symbolic it was. Similarly, ISIS executed prisoners on camera not just to kill them, but to provoke outrage and manipulate governments into reacting rashly. If Kirk’s death had been quick, quiet, and deniable, the country might have mourned and moved on. Instead, the gruesome display forced people to take sides. It wasn’t just about killing a man—it was about programming a population. Who Benefits? Michael scribbled on a whiteboard like it was 2003 again: • The Left? Unlikely. They gain nothing from martyring Kirk. If anything, his death makes him more powerful. • The Right? Also strange. Why kill your own rising voice unless you need a pretext for a crackdown or unity push? • Foreign entities? Now it got interesting. Kirk was a staunch Trump ally. Weakening Trump by eliminating his surrogates benefits anyone hostile to his return—China, Russia, Iran, take your pick. But again, why so public? Michael circled the last point: manufactured consent. He remembered the Patriot Act after 9/11, and how COVID emergency powers rewrote daily life almost overnight. In both cases, fear and chaos were the accelerants. If a foreign adversary—or even factions within—wanted to nudge America toward more surveillance, more policing, and more division, a high-profile, grotesque assassination was the perfect spark. The Real Game Two days later, social media feeds were overflowing with rage. Protesters filled city streets. The FBI hinted at “domestic terror” suspects. Senators called for emergency security powers. Exactly the kind of reaction Michael feared. He sat back and whispered to himself: “The point was never Charlie Kirk. The point was us. They want us scared, angry, and ready to trade freedom for safety. And we’re walking right into it.” He closed his laptop and stared out the window. He knew the truth: whoever pulled the trigger didn’t just kill a man. They had scripted Act One of something much larger.
