Nothing validates Dunning and Kruger quite like the X "For You" algorithm.
Human rights are rooted in ownership of your body, labor, and speech. Compulsory provision of food and healthcare violates those rights; thus, economic goods can never be "human rights."  Compassion is best expressed via voluntary charity, not coercion. image
If labor creates all value, then why do identical hours yield different prices? The Marxist Labor Theory of Value is empirically false. Capitalism lifted 1.2B from poverty since 1990.  Surplus value created voluntarily isn't theft. Coercive taxation is. image
Significant LTH distribution increases the average cost basis and the Realized Price, both of which historically align closely with bear market price floors. Robust demand absorbed substantial sell pressure. Less concentrated OG supply derisks and thus indirectly supports a higher Sharpe ratio for Bitcoin. image
The US government is taking in record tax revenues ($5.23T FY 2025). Entitlements are ~63% of the budget and drive the long-term debt growth. The FY 2024 data from the IRS and the CBO show that the top 10% of income earners paid approximately 72% of all income taxes, corporate income taxes accounted for 11% of all federal tax revenues, and other taxes paid for by the wealthy and corporations (gift, estate, and excise taxes) amounted to another 5% of total federal tax revenues. Seizing all $68.8T billionaire and millionaire wealth with no market collapse (which is completely unrealistic) would fund the US for just 8 years. Clearly, our national debt growth isn't a revenue problem. It's a spending problem, and the majority of this spending is structural and mandatory due to programs enacted by Democratic administrations. image

The Fiscal Singularity: Why the US Debt Spiral is Inevitable #nothingstopsthistrain image High rates widen our structural fiscal deficit. Low rates spur speculative attacks on fiat (borrowing $ to buy hard assets such as Bitcoin). Under current policy and politics, a long-term fiscal spiral is mathematically and politically inevitable by the early 2030s. image 1. The Math is Inescapable Debt Dynamics: d_(t+1) = d_t * (1 + r - g) + pd - d_t = Debt-to-GDP ratio in year t - r = real rate - g = real growth - pd = primary deficit d_0 (2025 debt/GDP) = 100% locked-in r (real rate) = 2% → 2.5% ( ⬆️ debt → ⬆️ yields) g (real growth) = 1.7–1.9% locked-in (aging/productivity) pd (primary deficit) = 2.5–3% GDP locked-in (entitlements/interest) r - g = +0.6 % to +0.8% pd > 0 IF real rate > real growth and primary deficit > 0, THEN debt grows exponentially. 2. Escape Routes = Political Fantasies - Primary surplus: Cut $1.5T (10% of budget)? → 0% chance - Raise taxes +50%? → 0% chance - Growth >4%? → <5% chance - Inflation >10%? → possible, but destructive CBO: “No plausible policy combination stabilizes debt.” 3. The Spiral Timeline 2025 → 100% debt/GDP 2030 → 118% (interest > Medicare) 2032 → 130% (tipping point) 2035 → 150% (exponential phase) 2040 → 190% (crisis) By 2032, interest > all discretionary spending (Fed caps rates or monetizes). 4. Market Delusion = Time Bomb - 10-yr Yield: 4.08% (still normal) - Foreign Buyers: Down from 50% → <30% of Treasuries - TIC Data: China, Japan net sellers in 2025 confidence cracks → yields spike → spiral accelerates 5. Only Two Options Remain: A. Inflationary Spiral: Fed monetizes → 10–20% inflation. Savers wiped out. B. Default/Restructure: 7–10% yields → dollar credibility collapse. Both entail wealth transfers from fiat holders to hard asset owners. In either case, the outcome is the same: Monetary repression. Debasement. Loss of purchasing power. The system simply cannot deleverage mathematically or politically. No policy fix is remotely plausible. If banks are chiefly leveraged bond funds and a long-term fiscal spiral seems inevitable, then where do we securely store our savings? Exit fiat-denominated, duration-exposed assets. Enter the capped-supply, seizure-resistant store of value. The Fiscal Singularity is Near. Bitcoin is the exit.
In a single sentence, please answer this question: As a human whose highest aims are love, truth, wisdom, meaning, virtue, harmony, and freedom—and who desires to pursue these aims in a manner most aligned with historical, philosophical, and scientific realities—which worldview is optimal?

Constituents deeply overestimate the correlation between eloquence and correctness. Grandiloquence correlates with sophistry and implies that the communicator is concerned with promoting their voice to a greater extent than their ideas. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
SNAP's economic multiplier only measures its short-term stimulus in downturns when funds go to people likely to spend them immediately. This boost doesn't mean SNAP is a perpetual wealth machine, nor does it erase the underlying costs or trade-offs in resource allocation. Taxing $1 reduces private resources that might have generated more than $1.50 in activity if left invested or spent privately, especially since only a portion of tax revenue is effectively converted into economically productive government spending. Over time, excessive taxation and inefficient government allocation retard economic growth and compound negative effects on quality of life, innovation, and wages. Benefit cliffs in SNAP infamously create a disincentive to increase income. Recent policy changes in SNAP benefit calculations (benefit increases without income eligibility limit adjustments) have exacerbated these cliffs. Such perverse incentives keep recipients dependent longer. This perpetual government backstop for massive corporations such as Walmart, who captures 25% of all SNAP spending, acts as an indirect form of corporate welfare as well. SNAP drives ~24% of all U.S. grocery sales despite comprising ~12–15% of households. They outspend average American workers by ~15–20% on groceries. Data: USDA ERS, BLS CE, Numerator (2025). A moral hazard subsidizing corporate margins through dependency loops is suboptimal policy at best. Always beware of economically illiterate politicians with proven track records of inefficient capital allocation touting benefits while ignoring costs. There is no such thing as a free lunch. image
