Michael Saylor says working hard is the worst advice you can get
"You don't want to make money by being talented and working hard, the robots are going to work hard, the cars are gonna drive themselves"
"Once you train the AI on a Shakespearean sonnet, the AI will spit back sonnets just as good as Shakespeare in his prime, if you studied for 20 years to learn how to compose, that’s becoming less valuable just like writing a 100-page legal document"
"Now you're gonna say to the AI, compose an entire network of trusts and wills for my entire family and then optimize it for which tax jurisdiction and implement it. And it's only gonna cost you $10 bucks and it used to cost $10,000,000... human capital is getting demonetized"
Your bank pays you almost nothing on your savings...on purpose. Because you're not rich enough to matter to them.
STRC pays 11.5%. Tax-deferred. Whether you have $100 or $1 million.
Strategy's CEO @phongle explains why this changes everything.
Full show:
Bitcoin has won. Global consensus is that $BTC is digital capital. The four-year cycle is dead. Price is now driven by capital flows. Bank and digital credit will determine Bitcoin’s growth trajectory. The biggest risk is bad ideas driving iatrogenic protocol changes.
Let me get this straight.
Bitcoin started at zero. Absolute nothing. Worth less than your toenail.
No venture capital. No CEO. Never had an employee.
And it's now the 13th most valuable asset in the world?
And you think it's gonna stop here?
Elon Musk just described the terminal state of the global financial system.
The banking sector is obsessed with fiat currency.
Superintelligence won’t even recognize it.
Musk: “I think money will stop being relevant at some point in the future. I think the AI will not use human currency. It will just care about power and mass, wattage and tonnage.”
You can’t bribe an algorithm with digital dollars.
The operators controlling the next era won’t be the ones hoarding cash. They’ll be the ones commanding raw energy generation and physical material.
The global economy is transitioning from fiat to thermodynamics.
If your portfolio isn’t anchored in power and mass, your capital is already obsolete.
Musk: “It just represents some percentage ownership in companies that I’ve built. And it’s not like sitting in a bank account. It’s just literally I own a percentage of companies. The companies are doing lots of useful things.”
The general public thinks billionaires hoard massive piles of cash in a vault.
They don’t. Massive wealth is the mathematical byproduct of owning infrastructure that keeps civilization running.
Cash sitting in an account is a depreciating liability. The only real leverage is equity in systems that are actively solving bottlenecks at scale.
Capital sitting idle isn’t safe. It’s bleeding.
Peter Diamandis: “Elon’s driven to solve problems. He’s driven to make life in the world better by just solving the biggest problems over and over and over again. And if someone else were solving them, he wouldn’t need to. But no one else is solving them.”
You don’t achieve trillion-dollar scale by optimizing for a higher salary.
You achieve it by hunting the largest friction points on the planet and engineering them out of existence.
The market doesn’t compensate you for your time. It compensates you in direct proportion to the size of the problem you delete from the board.
Don’t build a company to extract money. Accumulate resources to fund the execution loop until the friction is completely gone.
And once AI measures value purely in physics, the entire concept of wealth as we understand it evaporates.
Who controls the energy. Who controls the materials. Who controls the infrastructure.
Everything else is just numbers on a screen.
Jack Dorsey agrees banks will be forced to adopt the new reserve capital. They have no choice.
This is the right attitude. We are Gen X, we are making our world and we don’t need permission.

🚨 BREAKING: The red state of Florida is about to pass its OWN SAVE AMERICA ACT and send it to Gov. Ron DeSantis for signature
The bill FORTIFIES citizenship verification for all voters and marks pen and paper as the default method of voting 🔥
FLORIDA does it right again! ☀️
CFO BLAISE INGOGLIA: "The state of Florida is on the verge of passing its own version of the SAVE Act, which is going to look for voter ID and also to verify that the people that are voting in our elections are indeed actual U.S. citizens."
"Florida should have this bill passed, my guess is either today or tomorrow, and it will find its way off to the governor to be signed into law."
"Now, at the same time, when Florida is doing this, we are finding that CONGRESS is having a very tough time trying to pass their version of the SAVE Act, and I will just tell you my opinion that this is a very much needed piece of legislation that Congress should be passing!"
"There is zero reason, ZERO reason why the [US] Senate should not take this up and pass it into law!"
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: The Surgeon General of Florida just announced ALL VACCINE MANDATES IN FLORIDA will be ENDED, and the room erupted.
All. Not just COVID. ALL.
JOSEPH LADAPO: "Every last one is wrong and DRIPS with disdain and slavery! Who am I, or anyone else, to tell YOU what you should put in your body? Who am I to tell you what your CHILD should put in their body? I don't have that right. Your body is a gift from God. What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your Body and God."
"Pretty much every state has them. It's WRONG."
Do you firmly support this decision?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏
THE NEXT BUYERS OF CRYPTO MAY NOT BE HUMAN
Brian Armstrong just highlighted a shift most of the market is still underestimating.
At Coinbase, AI agents are now writing 50%+ of the code and handling about 60% of customer support. Automation is already deeply embedded.
But the real unlock is payments -- Armstrong says Coinbase is giving AI agents their own stablecoin wallets so they can execute machine-to-machine transactions -- spinning up cloud resources, accessing paywalled data, buying domains, and more without a human approving every step.
Traditional finance wasn’t built for this. Corporate cards require human identity. Autonomous software doesn’t fit that model -- but crypto rails do.
If agents are going to operate like digital employees, they need native internet money. Stablecoins are starting to fill that role, and that quietly expands the addressable demand base beyond humans.
Still early but the direction is clear, the AI economy is beginning to plug directly into crypto.
🚨 THE BITCOIN SHADOW LEDGER EXPOSED
1/ SEC Loophole: Rule 15c3-3 (Customer Protection) possession rules don't apply to "non-security" crypto. Your BTC is swept into "Omnibus Accounts" where it’s co-mingled.
2/ The Custody Trap: Giants like BNY Mellon & Fidelity solve key management, but their fine print often includes a "Right to Pledge" your assets as bank collateral.
3/ The Yield Gap: That 3-5% yield isn't "free money." They lend your BTC to Citadel & Jane Street at 8-12% so they can short the asset you hold.
4/ 140% Churn: Wall Street can re-hypothecate up to 140% of asset value. 1 physical BTC can have multiple "paper" claims against it in the shadow banking system.
5/ Paper Dilution: This "synthetic" supply dilutes the 21M hard cap. It allows institutions to "create" liquidity that doesn't exist on-chain, suppressing price.
6/ OTC Dominance: 40% of institutions now use OTC as their #1 venue. Most large trades happen "off-screen," hiding the true demand from retail order books. 🤫
7/ Stablecoin Settlement: 78% of OTC volume is now settled via stables (USDC/USDT). We’ve moved to a T+0 atomic settlement world, bypassing the slow legacy grid.
8/ The ETF Loophole: BlackRock (IBIT) prospectus allows for "Trade Credits." This is the backdoor they use to leverage the "locked" vault. 🔓
9/ Security Interests: To use Trade Credits, the ETF grants Coinbase a "lien" on the cold storage. If the credit system fails, the custodian has first rights to the BTC.
10/ Trade Credit Scale: Billions in BTC price discovery now happens on "Paper Credits" before settlement. It’s a high-frequency leverage game for the house.
11/ Exchange Drain: Reserves are at ~2.5M BTC (near 5-yr lows). But "Paper BTC" build-up on the backend could be masking the true supply shock.
12/ Institutional Shift: Over 1.2M BTC is now in ETFs. The "supply" is being re-wired from retail exchanges to institutional shadow pipes. 🏗️
🟧The Defense: The only way to stop Wall Street from using your money against you is Self-Custody. Withdraw your sats. Starve the shadow ledger. 🛡️🔥
#Bitcoin #BTC #CryptoNews #WallStreet #BlackRock #SelfCustody
My plan for 2026
Buy Bitcoin.
Use that Bitcoin as collateral.
Take the liquidity and buy $STRC yielding 11.25%.
Used the yield to buy more Bitcoin.
Why aren’t most people doing this?
Dad buys Bitcoin for $100K.
It grows to $5M.
If he sells, he owes tax on a $4.9M gain.
Instead, he puts it in a trust.
Borrows against it.
Lives tax-free.
Dies holding.
Kids inherit at a $5M basis.
IRS gets $0.
Easy Strategy Early Retirement Plan:
1. Put $1 million into STRK
2. Get paid $102,600/yr while waiting for Bitcoin to moon
3. Bitcoin moons over the next 10 years at 30%/yr, MSTR is 30% amplified BTC, so MSTR goes from $134 to $2,361.
4. Convert your STRK shares into MSTR to take your $1 million position into $3 million of MSTR
4. Convert MSTR to STRC and live off ~$300k/yr
Or just keep your MSTR for growth and sell covered calls.
FUN!
🚨 BITCOIN QUANTUM UPDATE:
Developers advanced BIP-360, laying groundwork for post-quantum protection.
The proposal removes a Taproot key-path feature that could expose public keys to future quantum attacks.
Not activated yet but the defense planning has begun.
Bitcoin is preparing decades ahead.
Elon Musk just said saving for retirement becomes pointless in 10 to 20 years. Not speculation. Math.
Musk: “Don’t worry about squirreling money away for retirement in like ten or 20 years. It won’t matter.”
We passed the event horizon. Retirement savings assumes scarcity persists. It won’t.
AI and robotics collapse labor costs to zero. Living costs follow. You’re not saving for security. You’re saving for a world that stops existing.
Musk: “If any of the things that we’ve said are true, saving for retirement will be irrelevant.”
Age of Abundance isn’t vision. It’s physics. Economic laws executing whether you believe them or not.
5,000 days. Fourteen years. Global GDP uncaps. Production approaches infinite. Net worth as concept dies.
Only scarcity left is meaning. Money stops being the constraint.
Timeline is shorter than your brain accepts. Fourteen years. We transition from survival work to Universal High Income in that window.
Event horizon isn’t coming. You’re in it. Operating under old rules while ground disappears beneath you means you already lost.
Production costs hit zero through automation. Everything priced on human labor reprices instantly. Housing. Food. Goods. Services. All reset when scarcity evaporates.
Traditional planning assumes structure persists. Save for decades. Retire on capital returns in scarcity markets. That model shatters when abundance becomes baseline.
You’re optimizing for a world vanishing while the replacement materializes. Your strategy becomes obsolete before you finish executing it.
The retirement you’re building toward assumes costs stay high. They collapse. And your savings designed for expensive scarcity become irrelevant in cheap abundance.
Every dollar you put away for future scarcity is a bet against the transformation already happening. And that bet loses the moment production costs hit zero and the economy you planned for stops functioning.
You’re not preparing for the future. You’re clinging to a past that’s ending whether you accept it or not. And fourteen years from now, the question won’t be whether you saved enough. It’ll be why you wasted time saving for conditions that don’t exist anymore.
