The FBI treats Bitcoin as money to catch money launderers, while the IRS views it as property to collect taxes. Meanwhile, the SEC calls it a security to regulate exchanges, and the CFTC labels it a commodity to keep it from being used as everyday cash.

🇨🇳 Chinese President Xi Jinping calls for the yuan to become a global reserve currency.🇺🇸💪 A key part of transitioning away from the current fiat global reserve currency toward sound money (like gold or Bitcoin) involves letting some other country take on the burdensome role of issuer of the next fiat reserve currency — essentially making them the one left holding the bag (or the 'sucker').

In the future, every person will have their own personal AGI agent — fully secure, end-to-end encrypted, and protected by multisignature cryptographic keys that you control. This agent could seamlessly integrate with or be uploaded into various physical platforms to serve you directly. For example: - It could connect to your electric vehicle (like a Tesla) to handle autonomous transportation, route planning, errands, or even ownership-related decisions. - It could inhabit or link to a dedicated personal humanoid robot (such as something like Tesla's Optimus) to safeguard your home, manage household tasks, provide care, run security, or assist with daily life. The core idea is a truly sovereign, private superintelligent companion that's cryptographically yours alone — extending your reach into both digital and physical worlds while keeping everything under your multisig-secured control.

Happy anniversary to the Silk Road era! Celebrating the day that changed Bitcoin forever.

Bitcoin stands as the 21st-century's ultimate private store of value—protecting human (and humanoid) wealth across time better than anything else—while serving as sound, digital money that's perfectly suited for transferring value seamlessly across space.

🇺🇸 Treasury Secretary Bessent says Federal Reserve independence "does not mean no oversight."💪🇺🇸 Now Time to expose the fraud at the Fed and all central banks around the world.

"If you are not paying for it, you are the product. And if it is a political system, the product that they are buying is control over you." What if a government-promoted "free" digital currency—like the UAE's Digital Dirham, now rolling out in phases with a full integration targeted for 2026—seems like a convenient upgrade to cash, but actually enables unprecedented total surveillance and centralized control over every transaction? These **central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)** promise efficiency and inclusion, yet they come with the risk of governments tracking spending in real time, potentially programmable to restrict purchases, freeze accounts, or enforce compliance—echoing sneaky inflation tactics through easier monetary manipulation and drawing parallels to outright financial repression seen in places like Iran, where the Digital Rial (already piloted and launched) has been explicitly designed for easy tracking, dissident monitoring, and tighter state grip on money flows amid sanctions and repression. While such systems lure people in with promises of seamless payments, Bitcoin and other open-source, decentralized tools offer a powerful counter: - censorship-resistant money that individuals truly control - free from intermediary seizure or oversight - empowering us to resist the trap of surveillance disguised as progress. The real question is whether we'll buy into the illusion of convenient control or actively build our own financial freedom through decentralized alternatives.
