Bitcoin’s behavior has not changed over the last three cycles. The market structure, incentives, and human reactions remain the same. New instruments like ETFs may change access, but they do not change the underlying dynamics of Bitcoin or the psychology of investors. In every cycle, adoption increases steadily at first. As price begins to move, attention follows. This attracts a wave of new participants who are not interested in understanding Bitcoin as a monetary system, but are instead looking for quick gains. When volatility appears, these participants panic sell. That selling pressure is what creates the bear market. Bitcoin itself does not fail. The asset simply transfers from weak hands to strong hands, as it always has. What follows is a long period of consolidation. Several years where price action is boring, narratives disappear, and only those who take the time to learn remain. This period is where understanding is built and conviction is formed. Then a new group of investors enters the market, largely unaware of what happened in previous cycles. The same mistakes are repeated, and the process starts again. This pattern is likely to continue for years. Not because Bitcoin is broken, but because fiat systems are still functioning well enough in most places. When fiat systems begin to fail more visibly, first in weaker economies and eventually in stronger ones, Bitcoin’s role will become obvious without explanation. Bitcoin does not change. The environment around it does. And people learn only when reality forces them to.

The internet didn’t change the world because it was fast or easy. Early on, it was slow, unreliable, and confusing. What mattered wasn’t the user experience, but the structure. For the first time, information could move without permission, without central control, and without needing trusted intermediaries. That shift wasn’t obvious at first. Most people saw email as a worse fax and websites as pointless brochures. Experts dismissed it because they judged it by what already existed, not by what it enabled. But once open protocols were in place, innovation exploded in directions no one could fully predict. Bitcoin follows the same pattern. It is not trying to be a better version of existing money. It is changing the architecture of money itself. Like the internet separated communication from institutions, Bitcoin separates value transfer from institutions. In the early stages, this feels uncomfortable. The system looks inefficient. The interface is rough. The trade-offs seem strange. That is exactly how every permissionless network looks before it reaches critical mass. The internet didn’t win arguments. It outgrew them. Bitcoin is doing the same thing.

Fiat is evil. It steals your time, erodes your savings, and forces you to work harder for less. Bitcoin doesn’t ask, it preserves. Choose sound money.

Sound money enables trade beyond borders and beyond short time horizons. When money reliably holds value, people and firms can plan, invest, and specialize with confidence. Goods move peacefully to where they are most valued, and capital follows opportunity rather than political favor. This expansion of trade produces long periods of growth, even if it is punctuated by financial crises. The deeper effect is civilizational. When economic relationships are stable and mutually beneficial, the incentive for violent conflict declines. History shows that societies integrated through sound money and trade are not free from instability, but they are far less inclined toward war. Trade does not eliminate crises. It replaces conquest with cooperation. Sound money makes long-term prosperity possible and peace more likely.

After the new global order settles, the narrative will shift on cue. You’ll be told the WEF was never in charge, just middle management, a convenient scapegoat for decisions made higher up the monetary stack. Names will change, faces will rotate, and responsibility will evaporate. Power never disappears. It just rebrands once consolidation is complete. This entire structure is built on monetary control. Fiat money allows blame to be diffused, costs to be hidden, and failures to be socialized. Money printing funds obedience, asset inflation buys silence, and debt keeps populations dependent. As long as currency can be created without consent, hierarchy remains insulated from consequences. Bitcoin breaks this mechanism. It removes the ability to rewrite reality through liquidity. It exposes who pays and who benefits. It forces economic truth to surface instead of being buried under stimulus, leverage, and narrative management. This is why institutions fear it. Not because it is volatile, but because it is honest. As the system strains, the psychological detox accelerates. Trust erodes. Official explanations feel heavier to carry. People stop defending narratives not because they’ve reached enlightenment, but because maintaining belief becomes exhausting. Reality intrudes faster than propaganda can keep up. Eventually, people don’t argue anymore. They look for exits. Not political exits, but monetary ones. A way to opt out of dilution, manipulation, and permanent emergency policy. Bitcoin is not a revolution of slogans. It is an escape hatch from monetary capture. This is how systems built on illusion unwind. There is no apology, no accountability, no admission of failure. Just pressure, applied economically, until alignment breaks. When it’s over, everyone will claim they always knew who was really in control.

Bitcoin will not magically create a peaceful, borderless world. It is not a social movement or a moral philosophy, and it does not change human nature. People will still compete, borders will still exist, and bad incentives will still produce bad outcomes. What Bitcoin does is far more specific and far more powerful. It protects wealth across space and time. It removes the ability to quietly debase money, inflate savings away, and shift the cost of bad decisions onto others. It doesn’t promise fairness. It enforces honesty. Bitcoin does not fix broken societies. It exposes them. It forces economic reality to surface instead of being buried under money printing, leverage, and financial engineering. This is why fiat politicians are not Bitcoiners. Their entire model depends on protecting asset prices at all costs. High real estate prices require cheap credit. Cheap credit requires money printing. Inflation is not a bug. It is the mechanism. The idea that any fiat politician will willingly support a system that removes their monetary control is fantasy. Immigration policy, stimulus, and endless liquidity are all tools to keep the debt machine running and asset prices elevated. Under a Bitcoin standard, productivity, savings, and long-term thinking are rewarded. Short-term extraction and rent-seeking are not. The system does not care about narratives or intentions, only outcomes. Bitcoin is not a promise of harmony. It is a tool for monetary truth. And truth is uncomfortable for systems built on illusion.

Strange. I was told Bitcoin is volatile.

Time preference shapes everything. A society with low time preference plans, saves, and builds for the future. A society with high time preference consumes, borrows, and prioritizes today over tomorrow. Having a child is a low time preference decision. It requires patience, sacrifice, and confidence in the future. You commit years of time and energy with no immediate payoff, only responsibility. Fiat money pushes behavior in the opposite direction. Inflation rewards spending now and punishes saving. The future becomes less predictable, and long-term commitments feel increasingly risky. High time preference becomes rational. Dual-income households are less about choice and more about necessity. One income no longer preserves purchasing power, so both parents must work just to maintain their standard of living. When time feels scarce and survival feels expensive, long-term commitments are delayed. Fertility falls not because people reject family, but because the system makes low time preference behavior harder. Low fertility is not a cultural accident. It is a monetary signal. When money erodes trust in the future, people shorten their time horizon. Sound money lowers time preference. It restores confidence in tomorrow, rewards patience, and makes long-term commitments viable again. Families, savings, and stability follow. Break the money and society adapts. Fix the money and behavior changes.

People like to pretend the Pfizer jab era was about choice, but it wasn’t. It was about compliance. You weren’t asked politely and trusted to decide. You were threatened. Take it or lose your job. Take it or don’t travel. Take it or get locked out of normal life. That’s not consent. That’s coercion with a medical costume on it. The COVID test itself was a humiliation ritual. Standing in line, letting a stranger shove a stick deep into your nose just to prove you’re allowed to exist in public. If that same procedure happened under the banner of security, people would rightly call it a naked search. But rebrand it as health and suddenly obedience becomes moral. This pattern isn’t unique to COVID. Coercion has always been the weapon of control. Religion, ethnicity, nationalism, emergencies. The label changes, the mechanism doesn’t. Create fear. Divide people. Threaten their access to work, money, and movement. Most will comply. Not because they believe, but because they’re cornered. Behind all of it sits the money printer. Fiat funds the enforcement, the propaganda, and the endless emergencies. Inflation quietly steals your time while mandates openly demand your submission. When your money is permissioned, your life becomes permissioned too. Fiat conditions people to obey because disobedience comes with financial punishment. Bitcoin breaks that conditioning. No printer, no off switch, no central authority to threaten your livelihood. That’s why they fear sound money more than any virus. It removes their leverage. This was never about health. It was about control. And once you see how easily people were coerced, you understand why they fight so hard to keep the printer running.

History is usually written by those who hold power. Institutions decide what is recorded, what is taught, and what is remembered. Most people inherit history rather than verify it for themselves. Bitcoin takes a very different approach. When you run a Bitcoin node, it does not trust any existing version of history. It begins from the Genesis block and independently verifies every block that follows. This process is called Initial Block Download. The node first checks block headers, verifying proof of work, timestamps, and difficulty rules. It does not ask who produced the blocks. It only asks which chain has the most accumulated work. Work, not authority, determines truth. Once the correct chain is identified, the node downloads full blocks and validates every transaction. Signatures are checked, amounts are verified, and double spending is rejected. As this happens, the node rebuilds the current state of money by removing spent outputs and adding new ones. This state is known as the UTXO set. It is not a historical narrative. It is the present reality of Bitcoin. By the time synchronization is complete, the node has trusted no one. It has reconstructed the ledger entirely on its own. In the traditional world, history flows from power. In Bitcoin, power flows from verification. That is why Bitcoin is not just a monetary system. It is a system for producing verifiable history. #bitcoin #pow
