The financialization of bitcoin is a symptom of broken money.
Traditional portfolio theory tells you to own a little of everything: stocks, bonds, real estate, commodities.
Sounds smart until you realize you’re diversified across different expressions of the same centralized system.
When that system breaks, and it will, none of that diversification will save you.
You’re not spreading risk. You’re concentrating it and then gaslit to think it’s safe.
The specialized degree is dead.
Most people just don’t know it yet.
Young people will no longer need specialized degrees in marketing, finance, or accounting etc, because the future will belong to people who can solve problems across any domain using AI as leverage.
I’m watching this play out with my Gen Z employee @halstonvalencia. We’re using systems like @claudeai to 10x our output across marketing, research synthesis, strategic planning, workflow automation, and data analysis.
We’re constantly learning, experimenting, and iterating because problem solving skills compound with AI, and the gap between those who adapt and those who don’t is widening FAST.
Universities are selling credentials for a world that no longer exists.
AI generalists who can think critically and solve problems across domains are the future.
The government doesn’t want you wealthy.
It wants you comfortable enough to not revolt and desperate enough to keep working.
That’s the sweet spot.
Too poor and you’re a problem. Too rich and you’re independent.
The entire system is designed to keep you in the middle: earning, spending, taxing, repeating.
Financial sovereignty isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting free.
The average American works January through April just to pay taxes. Then works until August to cover inflation.
By the time they’re actually earning for themselves, half the year is gone.
And we call this freedom.
We’ve normalized a system where the majority of your labor goes to funding a government that devalues what’s left.
If that doesn’t radicalize you, you’re not paying attention.
Bitcoin is more at risk today than ever before.
Every major religion has warnings about storing wealth in things that can be destroyed, stolen, or corrupted.
Yet somehow we convinced ourselves that numbers in a bank account controlled by people we’ve never met is “safe.”
Your savings account isn’t protected by deposit insurance, it’s protected by the full faith and credit of a government $38 trillion in debt.
Read that again and tell me where the safety is.
My Clawdbot gives me a weekly report on Mondays about things it thinks I should know. This week: homeschool curriculum recommendations based on what my kids struggled with last week. We're not waiting for the future. We're building it at the kitchen table.
Homeschooling costs us convenience and social acceptance.
Public school would cost us our kids’ formative years, their natural curiosity, and their ability to think independently.
When you frame the trade off honestly, the choice becomes obvious.
Everytime you buy an ETF instead of bitcoin, you’re saying “hey, I care less about sovereignty.”
