When your #Bitcoin thesis depends on Michael Saylor’s next issuance, you’re not stacking sats, you’re stacking counterparty risk. Bitcoin was built to remove middlemen. To free you from CEOs, boards, banks, and the rest of the circus. Yet somehow, people cheer when another corporation “buys the dip,” as if their balance sheet is your safety net. That isn’t Bitcoin. That’s dependency dressed up as conviction. Corporate treasuries can dump. ETFs can freeze. Bond markets can implode. None of that changes Bitcoin’s rules, but it can wreck anyone who builds their faith on someone else’s balance sheet. Bitcoin doesn’t care about quarterly earnings or shareholder votes. It just keeps producing blocks, every 10 minutes, no matter what Saylor or BlackRock decide to do. You don’t need a billionaire to validate your conviction. You need keys. You need self-custody. You need to own it yourself. Because stacking sats beats stacking counterparty risk. Every time.

Freedom isn’t voting every 4 years. It’s holding keys no one can take from you. They tell you freedom is a ballot box. But what good is a vote if they can freeze your bank account the next day? What good is “choice” when every option is the same? Real freedom is money outside their reach. Bitcoin in your wallet, keys only you control. And it’s not just money. Look at speech. Platforms ban, censor, shadowban… until you move to nostr, where no one can shut you down. That’s freedom in the digital age: money that can’t be stolen, voices that can’t be silenced. #Bitcoin and #nostr don’t ask permission. They just work. And that’s exactly why they terrify the people who pretend to give you freedom. So the question is: how much of your freedom are you willing to reclaim?

My take on CBDCs. They’ll call it “modern.” They’ll call it “efficient.” But what it really is… is surveillance money. Every purchase you make, every place you spend, every habit you form: tracked, logged, and stored. Not for your benefit. For theirs. They’ll dress it up with buzzwords like “convenience” and “financial inclusion.” But the truth is ugly: it’s about control. Picture this: your paycheck that expires if you don’t spend it fast enough. Your savings frozen because you supported the wrong cause. Your card declining when you try to buy a plane ticket out of town. That’s not money. That’s a leash. Bitcoin doesn’t ask where, when, or why. It doesn’t censor. It doesn’t discriminate. CBDCs are fiat with shackles. Bitcoin is money without masters. Thank god for #Bitcoin.

Your kids didn’t vote for $37 trillion in debt. But they’ll still pay it. That’s $320,000 per taxpayer already on the books. Before a child is born, the state has mortgaged their future. This isn’t “policy.” It’s theft. Politicians buy votes with money that doesn’t exist. Central banks print the difference. Inflation does the dirty work, stealing silently from your savings and your kids’ wages. Every bailout, every stimulus, every war… you don’t pay for it. They do! This is slavery with better branding. Debt is the chain. Inflation is the whip. And the overseers wear suits. #Bitcoin is the first exit; No bailouts. No inflation. No generational theft. If you don’t opt out, your kids won’t just inherit your house. They’ll inherit your chains.

A Central Bank Digital Currency is just fiat with a GPS tracker.
