Nobody warns you. That's the sick part.
Nobody sits you down and says, hey, if you spend one weekend actually reading about money, you will lose the ability to enjoy anything for the rest of your life.
Your brother-in-law just mentions it at a barbecue. That's how it starts. Some guy holding a hot dog says "you should look into Bitcoin" and you laugh at him.
You laugh AT him.
You make the tulip joke. You feel superior for eleven more days.
Then it's 2:47 in the morning and you're on your fourth Saylor podcast and your wife thinks you're having an affair.
And in a way, you are.
You're cheating on your entire worldview.
ou came in to debunk it. That's the trap. Everyone comes in to debunk it. You wanted to find the flaw, dunk on your brother-in-law, and go back to your Vanguard target date fund like a respectable adult.
Instead you found out what happened in 1971 and now you can't make eye contact with your 401k.
Because here's what actually happens.
Bitcoin is cool and all, but you REALLY learn about the dollar. Bitcoin is fine, Bitcoin is twenty-one million and a schedule, you understand it in an afternoon. The dollar takes months, because every time you think you've hit the bottom of that thing there's a trapdoor.
The Fed just... prints it? And they gave how much to the banks in 2008? And the banks did WHAT with it?
And the guy who ran that got a MEDAL? You're up at 4am reading about the Cantillon effect like it's your kid's toxicology report.
Then comes the phase where you're insufferable.
Everyone goes through it, nobody admits it. You ruin Thanksgiving. You genuinely ruin it. Your aunt says turkey prices are crazy this year and you see your opening like a lion seeing a wounded gazelle.
Forty-five minutes later you're drawing the M2 money supply on a napkin and your mother is crying and your uncle is saying "it's not backed by anything" for the ninth time while his pension is backed by the promises of a government that's thirty-seven trillion in debt.
He's worried about YOUR risk profile.
He has unit bias so bad he'd rather own a whole Shiba Inu coin than a fraction of the hardest asset ever created, because his brain, poisoned by seventy years of fiat, thinks "whole thing cheap" beats "piece of thing good."
And the prices. God, the prices. You can't turn it off.
You're in the grocery store repricing eggs in sats. The eggs are getting cheaper in sats. Everything is getting cheaper in sats except your will to explain that to anyone.
You look at a house and you don't see a house, you see the number of Bitcoin it costs, and that number falling forever, and you realize the housing crisis is a measuring stick crisis, and you say this out loud at a dinner party, once, and now you're not invited to dinner parties.
Then the anger burns off and something worse arrives.
Clarity. You realize nobody is coming to fix this.
The people in charge KNOW. That's the part that breaks you. They're not stupid, they're incentivized.
The debt can't be paid, only inflated, and every serious person in a suit on television knows it, and their plan is to be dead before the invoice arrives.
So you buy. Coinbase, first time, hands shaking like you're doing something illegal, and the fee annoys you, and that annoyance is the last normal financial emotion you will ever feel.
You set up the DCA. You learn what a hardware wallet is. You write twelve words on steel like a doomsday prepper, because that's what you are now, except your bunker is math.
And then the loneliness. Nobody tells you about the loneliness. You've seen it. You can't unsee it.
And you're surrounded by people you love who are working forty years to fill a bathtub with the drain open, and when you point at the drain they get mad at YOU.
So you stop pointing. You just stack quietly, in the dark, waiting for the day one of them comes to you, at a barbecue, holding a hot dog, and says the words.
"Hey... you were into Bitcoin, right?"
And you smile. Because it's their turn in the barrel.
Welcome. Nobody warned me either.
250,000+ British girls.
What's included in this report is fucking harrowing:
- A baby was abused and had cigarettes stubbed out on it while the mother was forced to watch; the baby was then killed.
- Girls were set on fire.
- Girls were sent to “red rooms” to be tortured, some of them killed, some of it livestreamed.
- One girl was raped by a dog while men bet on whether it would vaginally or anally rape her.
- Girls were forced to have abortions with knitting needles.
- Glass bottles, keys, baseball bats, and other objects were forced inside them, some shattering.
- Girls were gang-raped by dozens of men at a time in “party houses.”
- Girls were whipped, hung upside down, suffocated, and urinated on.
- Girls as young as 5 or 6 were tied up and abused.
- Girls were locked in dog cages.
- Girls were branded with an “M” for Muhammad.
- Girls were threatened with being killed and fed to pigs.
- Girls were mocked for wearing a crucifix during the rapes.
All of this was carried out by predominantly South Asian, Pakistani men, with smaller numbers from Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, Bangladeshi, and Iraqi men.
And yet perpetrators were let off, authorities turned a blind eye, and it continues to this day because people are scared of being called racist.
Anyone who covered for this needs to face the death penalty alongside all of those who hurt these girls.
I'm glad Rupert Lowe and everyone else behind this put this together; it needs to be seen by everyone.
@MrFamilyOffice This is mostly a White culture problem of those specifically aged in their 60's and 70's. They have been programmed by television their whole lives to be selfish and see their children as an inconvenience. Every other culture places family above everything else.
TON is now $GRAM.

All TON holdings convert 1:1 to GRAM automatically. No swap, no migration, no action required from holders.
Why GRAM?
Gram was the original name of the token in TON's first whitepaper. Returning to the roots, starting a new chapter.
TON remains the name of the blockchain. The token is GRAM.

Was die meisten schon wieder vergessen haben:
2021 hat Elon Musk den Vereinten Nationen angeboten, für die Beendigung des Welthungers mit dem Verkauf eines Teils seiner Tesla-Aktien zu zahlen.
Die einzige Bedingung: Die Vereinten Nationen legen transparent offen, wie genau dieser Betrag den Welthunger beenden würde und wie die Mittel eingesetzt werden.
Natürlich haben die Vereinten Nationen das Angebot nicht angenommen. Sie hätten nämlich erklären müssen, wie es sein kann, dass seit den 1950er Jahren 2 BILLIONEN DOLLAR an „Entwicklungshilfen“ nach Afrika geflossen sind, sich aber in all den Jahren nichts zum Besseren entwickelt hat.
Das Problem ist nicht Elon Musk.
Das Problem sind korrupte Politiker, die dir sagen, dass Elon Musk das Problem wäre.
@PaulCoxComedy You think voting is the answer? They want you to believe in the very same system that they control.
No. There's only one way to solve it all and take it back from them, and it's what our ancestors did for a thousand years. But half of you are too soft to take this action now.
@RupertLowe10 The only thing the establishment fears is violence. Not peaceful protests. Not complaining. Not committee or votes. Not discussions or debate. Not moaning or anger.
Only violence they fear. Because they know it's the only way to bring about real change and stop them.
@MartinMurphy72 It doesn't stop until firstly the traitors are removed. The politicians, local councils, media, judges, lawyers, charities and pro immigration activists all need to be punished and held accountable. Otherwise, it will carry on no matter how many invaders are deported.
Belfast won’t take this.. many groups now are asking for us men to get ready to stand and I’m ready. We didn’t fight all these years for Africa to overrun my nation.
Northern Ireland aren’t soft… and they are going to find that out. I promise you that. We have just got peace and a decade later this is the outcome…..
You rats @sinnfeinireland
Watched the video. It's horrible.
I have to say - these videos light a rage in me that I can't even describe. I am so, SO angry and SO sad that WHITE countries continue to put up with this shit because "tolerance"
Because being called "racist" is more frightening than watching our countrymen hacked to death, stabbed, shot, raped, mutilated.
I'd rather be called racist all day long than stand back and watch my fellow people get their heads hacked off by a 50 IQ foreigner from an African shithole.
I am just... done.
I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:
"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."
