The entire global economy is insolvent, fake, and simultaneously the largest control system to ever exist. Truth is elusive when measuring from a piece of paper. Buckle up.

The Epstein files are a waste of time. Epstein was a piece of the control system. Not THE system. The control system is just as strong today as it was before he was purged. Not because it is unstoppable, but because WE give it strength. Yes, Epstein’s operations and network are awful. But in a debt-based monetary system, control is required to keep it going. So the most disgusting methods of control should be expected. Because money is the collective time and energy of humanity, controlling the money is most powerful control mechanism that exists. That system cannot be fixed from within. It has to be left alone to die. The legacy system of control is like a terminally ill patient on a ventilator being kept alive by the time and energy we keep breathing into it. The future must be built outside that system and strong enough to resist its control. Bitcoin is it. It is THE tool. Our only path forward. And it is already enough. Already up for the task. We’re gonna win. Keep going.

I heard this sound bite before bed last night and it kept me up 3 more hours. It hit me like a lightning bolt. The idea that throughout history the 2.5% of people who understood the problem and had the integrity to stand up for the solution were always targeted, killed and removed; causing us to continually fall back into control system after control system. With Bitcoin, the 2.5% are now shielded in anonymity and able to impose an honest system on the world for the first time ever. An unstoppable intransigent minority. Thanks @CK and @Jeff Booth for a great conversation.

Nation-state resistant code creates nation-state resistant minds.

Bitcoin’s fixed supply imposing a redistribution of coins from net consumers to net value-producers, while perpetually improving the quality of life for all market participants is a profound upgrade to humanity. It breaks my brain every time I think about it.
