The #Poker Tournament You Never Wanted: #Government Edition 😂
Ever wondered what your weekend poker game would look like if the government ran it? Buckle up:
The "evil winners" actually LOSE:
• 3rd place: Pay TWICE the entry fee
• 2nd place: Pay THREE times the entry fee
• 1st place: Pay FOUR times the entry fee (congrats on your "success"!)
Meanwhile, everyone else (the "participant-winners") gets:
✅ Full refund of their entry fee
✅ Free mortgage/car payment
All courtesy of the government (by way of the "evil winners").
You say the math doesn't add up? No problem! Just print more money! 🖨️💸
Who needs skill and meritocracy when you can have redistribution?

One of my favorite AI use cases today:
Dear AI, see my e-mail response below where I just speak the honest truth in a brash, straightforward, American style, not holding back on expressing my complete exasperation and frustration at the incoherent, indefensible position the other party has taken. Now rewrite this in a professional style that still expresses my frustration with the complete stupidity of their position, but does so in an excessively polite way that does not offend typical Filipino sensitivities.
The results are pretty impressive! 😄
Maybe I should try this with social media too?
For some reason, the human psyche seems to nearly always progress from "#Bitcoin makes no sense" to either "it can't possibly work" or "it's a scam" to "I missed the boat and I need to find the 'next Bitcoin' now" before finally realizing the truth.
Bitcoin does work brilliantly. Fiat money is the actual scam. Bitcoin is the only acceptable solution to supplant fiat. And with a deflationary supply, it's never too late.
Prediction: we're going to find out (eventually) that Fort Knox does not have *nearly* the gold it claims to have. People will start to question what the Federal Reserve Bank actually does, and what value a Federal Reserve Note actually has. The US Federal Government uses the opportunity to kill the so-called Federal Reserve Bank and take back direct control of monetary policy for the US Dollar.
After all that, the dollar still fails.
The only question in my mind is "when?" I think there is a 25% chance it happens this year. 95% in twenty years.
Happy to hear why I'm wrong.
