For your consideration... Manufacturing is proof of work. #Bitcoin (as international energy money with a fixed supply) is proof of work. There is a reason why manufacturing of desirable goods and bitcoin purchasing power are inextricably linked over time.

If you love someone, teach them about purchasing power.

Another fun quarterly Mastermind discussion with @preston , @HODL , @Joe Carlasare , and myself.

500 years of Western imperialism is actively winding down. Adjust accordingly.

The US has long weaponized the US dollar against its adversaries (including China). China is now starting to weaponize the global manufacturing and supply chain against its adversaries (including the US). This won’t end well for the US dollar’s multi-decade hegemony and status quo of the West’s geopolitical “elites.” Consider owning some bitcoin and gold while the debasement of the dollar accelerates over the coming 5-15 years.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. GM
