President Trump's 1st Term = Supreme Court supermajority 2nd Term = Fed Board of Governors supermajority (?) If we can't end the Fed, then removing Keynesians and appointing Bitcoiners should at least shift the Overton Window... Gradually, then suddenly.
We slide down the slippery slope of compromise and call it tolerance. We mistake disobedience for freedom. We substitute superstition for faith. We celebrate our lack of self-control and label it relaxation. We demonize prayer and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism. We embrace godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.
The Average American on Fiat: - Lifetime Earnings¹: $1,500,000 - Lifetime Spending²: $3,300,000 - Lifetime Taxes¹: $525,000, or 35% of lifetime earnings - $ Purchasing Power Lost to US M2 Growth³: 95% over 45 working years (6.84% annually) Debt, taxes, and inflation place the average American in a precarious financial position. The only way for them to improve their standard of living is for their income and savings to outpace debasement. Let's assume they understand this and are one of the 62% of US adults who own stocks (generally via a retirement account). To reference the past statements of Lyn Alden and Michael Saylor, let's assume broad money supply growth is (was) the ideal hurdle rate. - Benchmark S&P 500 Average Nominal Annual Return: 10% - Average annual real return over 45 years = 3.16% The average American invests $5,000 per year.⁴ - $5,000/year for 45 years grows to $3.6M nominally. - Adjusted for M2, that’s just ~$183k in today’s purchasing power. Assuming contributions rise with M2 growth, the final real balance is still only ~$429k. Thus, even if the average American earns benchmark returns, they remain on a financial treadmill. What can they do to get off and get ahead? - 1-Year CAGR⁵: 99% - 5-Year CAGR⁵: 58% - 10-Year CAGR⁵: 86% - Projected 10-Year CAGR⁶: 20-30% Enter the new hurdle rate: ₿itcoin.

The notion that every person has a soulmate is largely a product of wishful thinking. This idea is refuted by millennia of human history, wherein sexual selection has favored female reproductive success over male reproductive success. More specifically, around 80-90% of females have reproduced compared to only 40% of males.² Today, a growing number of young men remain single, with more than 60% currently unattached. A significant minority may never experience a romantic relationship over their lifetime.¹ It’s a fact of life that, historically, more men than women have lived and died alone. Today, an ever-increasing cohort of men willingly accepts that fate. For those who decide it's better never to love at all than to love and lose, others should respect that choice—or recognize that some people may never have that choice in the first place. ¹ https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/3868557-most-young-men-are-single-most-young-women-are-not/?utm_source=perplexity ²
