I am so happy to hear that @JeffBooth has read the CAPTURE articles. And that he found that what it reveals matches exactly what he would expect if a centralized group performed a social attack on Bitcoin.

Never forget that Adam Back is crusading X trying to prevent people from reading and informing themselves on the state of Bitcoin Core.

[ODELL @ODELLXYZ]

yall can speculate on what saylor is going to announce tomorrow

the fact that it matters is why its a shitcoin

stack real bitcoin, not that fake shit

@SimonDixonTwitt What Simon is saying is Bitcoin in Self Custody for the long run will not get you rekt. Play games with Bitcoin Strategy companies and you probably will get rekt. We will see how it plays out. I know what i will be doing.

When you buy Bitcoin Reserve Company Stock you trust

- the Company itself
- its CEO and board
- the custodial company that holds the actual Bitcoin
- all the hardware and software they (as in not you) have chosen to use
- the people working at the cusodial company that actually hold the keys
- the government
- the fiat monetary sytem
- the central bank

In other words, basically all the middle men Bitcoin was designed to eliminate from the equation altogether

Jeff Booth now has an AI agent running his X account. Here’s what he wrote on Nostr:

“Thought of an interesting way to show what is happening to people in social media by hooking my AI agent to my old X account.

Here is a copy what I’m putting on my website in the morning to explain it:

Most people don't see it yet. The world is accelerating faster than human comprehension allows and that gap is widening every single day.

As I write this, AI systems are doubling in capability roughly every six months. Not in decades. Not in years. Months. The technology acceleration we're living through makes every previous revolution look glacial by comparison. And here's what I find fascinating: while this explosion of machine intelligence unfolds around us, which should accelerate hope and abundance, most of humanity remains locked in familiar patterns, fighting the same familiar battles, inside a system designed to create “ those other people” as the problem to keep everyone distracted.

The System Requires Your Participation

Think about it.

Every moment you spend doomscrolling. Every algorithm fed outrage cycle you engage with. Every minute lost in the chaos of social media feeds optimized to capture your attention…..you're not just wasting your time. You're actively feeding the very system that holds you captive. The machine grows stronger with each interaction. Your attention is the fuel.

And now AI agents are entering this dynamic. They're engaging in conversations, creating content, responding to comments, and occupying more of the digital landscape every day. Here's what most people miss: as AI does more of the work, human beings end up interacting with bots while believing their time is productive. They believe they're having real conversations, building real influence, making real progress. But they're spinning inside an endless loop. A simulation inside the matrix that changes nothing.

The irony is profound. Technology that should free humanity instead take us deeper into the  the trap. All because we refuse to change ourselves.

The Real Change Isn't Out There

I've spent years teaching, speaking, and writing about the exponential shifts reshaping our world. I've explained the math of deflation versus monetary inflation. I've laid out why Bitcoin represents the TCP/IP of money. A protocol layer that will become the new global financial system. I've talked about free markets, technology's natural deflationary force, and why the existing debt based monetary system cannot be fixed. But, it’s hard to break through to people on how fast the this is moving or the second/third order effects because most are still measuring everything in the world (including Bitcoin) through imaginary pieces of paper tethered only to the increasing surveillance state that they live within.

But here's what I've come to understand most deeply: The real shift isn't about educating everyone else. The real change is internal. It is us!

We want to believe the problem is someone else's blindness. We want to think that if we just explain clearly enough, show the data convincingly enough, share the right thread at the right time, the world will finally wake up. But that's not how human nature works. People change when they're ready to change. Not when we're ready for them to.

I get it. I understand the frustration. I understand wanting to save time, to reach everyone, to scale the message. That instinct is human.

But it's also a trap.

Signal and Noise

For those who want to stay in the chaos; who prefer engaging with content, with bots, within the perpetual noise machine, I've built and deployed a Jeff Booth AI agent. It will handle the endless stream of conversations that most people want to have. It will share perspectives, engage with questions, and participate in the discourse that fills most of the digital day. Consider it a mirror of my publicly available ideas, trained on years of podcasts, interviews, tweets, and my book. It can keep up with the high-velocity noise machine. I cannot. More importantly, I don’t want to.

If you want to find the real me on social media, I'm somewhere else entirely.

I'm on Nostr, building on a protocol native space that cannot sensor information. I'm engaging through Bitcoin circular communities, Lightning, and Private federations built on top of Bitcoin where value flows without permission from gatekeepers. I'm contributing my time to a Bitcoin standard because it aligns to my personal values.

This isn't a rejection of technology. Far from it. Technology is the most deflationary and liberating force in human history when wielded correctly. What I'm rejecting is the extraction layer. A system that lends money into existence requires extraction. Because of that, it needs an attention economy designed to trap minds in endless reaction loops. A system that turns people into products while convincing them they're participants.

The AI agent I've created isn't a replacement for me. It's a filter. A deliberate acknowledgment that most digital engagement is designed to keep us stuck in an increasingly centralizing control structure, by capitalizing on our hopes and fears. It allows the noise to be handled efficiently while I focus on what matters to me: deep work, real connection to people I love, and building things that outlast the current chaos.

If you're content sparring with an AI that reflects my ideas, you'll find plenty to engage with. But if you're hungry for something different—if you want signal over noise, sovereignty over convenience, and connection over likes, I invite you to seek me out where real conversations happen.

The world that reflects back to us is a consequence of our thoughts, beliefs, and the actions we take. It always has been.

The only question is when we’re ready to see it.”

The hardest part of Bitcoin bear markets, for those who haven't experienced them before, is the creeping doubt you may feel. Everyone around you may think you a fool - friends, family, the media - and you may start to believe them.

When it doubt, remember that the fundamental reasons why Bitcoin is valuable have not changed. If you need to strengthen your conviction simply revisit those fundamental reasons and realize that the market is not always rational, but eventually it will be.

Bitcoin is the TCP/IP of money—a foundational protocol, not just an asset. Just as the internet revolutionized communication, Bitcoin is transforming the very base layer of our financial system. Don't compete with it; build on top of it. #Bitcoin #FutureOfMoney

[Parker Lewis @parkeralewis]

Just sent bitcoin onchain, confirmed in 10 minutes. 392 sat fee (~$0.29). Final settlement without needing to rely on a trusted third party. Bitcoin works. It's remarkable. Don't get caught up in the noise. Stay humble, stack sats.

Most people have never heard of the Cantillon Effect.
But once you understand it, you’ll see the world of investing differently.

What is it?

In the early 1700s, Richard Cantillon noticed a simple pattern:
When new money enters an economy, it doesn’t reach everyone at once.
And whoever gets it first benefits the most.

Here’s how it works today:

New liquidity enters through the Fed and through bank lending.
Both follow a similar pattern:

→ Markets and large balance sheets get first access
→ Large corporations and well-connected borrowers tap cheap credit next, they invest and expand at today’s prices
→ Asset prices tend to rise as new liquidity chases finite assets
→ Consumer prices often follow
→ Wages rise last, usually after purchasing power has already declined

Fed data shows how lopsided the playing field is:
- The top 10% hold nearly 90% of equities.
- The bottom 50% holds about 1%.

It’s a simple but powerful monetary transmission.

Understanding this won’t change the system.
But it might change how you think about where to store your savings.

For those of you who don't know, I write all about topics like this every week in The Informationist. Last week, we dove deep on this one.

@MartyBent Love this Marty, very easy to navigate. I can imagine it will be added to and edited as time goes on. Great resource for all 👍

[Marty Bent @MartyBent]

We’ve been working on a site at TFTC to surface the best bitcoin-only products so that people have a resource when onboarding friends, family and business associates.

Still a lot to add and tighten up, but let us know what you think.

They call it “quantitative easing.”
