IMO “The Sovereign Individual” should be the first dive down the #BTC rabbit hole to truly get implications of AI and encryption.
I did a short video review on it and hope it will help others understand what’s ahead sooner than it took me to figure out. https://t.co/U9b4v1JeU0

The greatest gift you can give your children isn’t just Bitcoin… it’s understanding why Bitcoin exists. 🌍⚡️

I don't even pay attention to politics anymore. I just find it so wasteful & dysfunctional & stupid. Save it. I don't want to hear it. The only thing that I care about is sound money. Bitcoin is the soundest form of money we’ve ever had.

I finally finished this short exploration of one of the most important questions Bitcoin answers:
How do strangers agree on the truth without trusting one another or relying on a centralized authority?
Bitcoin's answer changed far more than money.
If you enjoy it, I'd greatly appreciate a like or repost to help more people discover why Bitcoin is sound money for the digital age.
I will upload to my Youtube channel as well.
I've already watched this clip 18 times.
And I assure you I'm not the only one. A ton of money managers, tradfi, and older generations deeply respect this guy.
Ray Dalio was right; there's a change in world order.
But it ain't China, it's Bitcoin.
Children of the UK!

@zerohedge True.
That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.
Can we stop calling it:
"Buying #Bitcoin"
And start calling it:
"Transitioning our wealth out of the Petrodollar Pyramid Scheme and into a neutral global value system built on individual freedom, peace and prosperity"?
Four ideologies shape the Bitcoin community. Maximalists bring conviction. Capitalists bring integration. Technologists bring innovation. Fundamentalists bring preservation. Bitcoin reaches its full potential when these four forces work in harmony.
Andrew Jackson destroyed the Second Bank of the United States in 1836, delivering the single greatest blow to financial tyranny in American history. You won't hear this story told correctly in any economics textbook, because it reveals how central banking works: as a government-sponsored cartel that redistributes wealth from productive citizens to politically connected bankers.
The Second Bank held a 20-year federal charter starting in 1816. It controlled the money supply, issued currency, and held government deposits. Sound familiar? Nicholas Biddle, the bank's president, wielded more economic power than any elected official. He could trigger financial panics at will by restricting credit. He bought newspapers and bribed congressmen. When Jackson opposed recharter in 1832, Biddle deliberately crashed the economy to punish him.
Jackson called it "a hydra of corruption" and he was right. The bank created artificial booms through credit expansion, then triggered busts when politically convenient. Biddle openly bragged about manipulating markets. Free market economists and Jackson both recognized the core insight: this was legalized counterfeiting with government backing, not free market banking.
The political establishment united against Jackson. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and the entire Whig Party defended the bank. Biddle spent millions buying influence. The press attacked Jackson as an economic ignoramus. Every "respectable" voice supported recharter. Jackson stood alone with the American people.
After Jackson killed the bank, the country experienced the strongest economic growth in its history. From 1837 to 1862, America operated without a central bank. Industry flourished. Wages rose. Innovation exploded. This wasn't coincidence. When you stop subsidizing financial speculation and let productive capital find its natural home, prosperity follows.
Central banks don't stabilize economies: they destabilize them for private gain.
Bitcoin Maximalist: Bitcoin is the dominant digital monetary network: an ethical, technical, and economic breakthrough, and an instrument of economic empowerment. It offers superior property rights, monetary integrity, and hope to those facing economic misery.
More than half of all $BTC in circulation is now held at an unrealized loss.
10.5M BTC are underwater. Only 9.8M are in profit.
This crossover has coincided with every major bear market bottom in history.
BTC also just touched its 200-week moving average at $61,300, a level reached in every previous bear market cycle, though it broke below it for 9 months in 2022.
If $60k breaks, the next support is $54,000, the average cost basis of every coin in circulation.
History says we're near a bottom. History also says "near" can take a while.
JUST IN: $920 BILLION WALL STREET GIANT STANDARD CHARTERED JUST SAID #BITCOIN IS GOING TO $100,000 THIS YEAR
"WE WILL LOOK BACK AT TODAY AS A GREAT BUYING OPPORTUNITY"
THEY ARE TELLING YOU, THE BOTTOM IS IN 🚀
@LokhuKuyize@LawrenceLepard@PeterMallouk Because it’s not as indistinguishable and you’re trying to make it. Ppl that understand the difference are simply trying to help you expand your understanding of it too but you have to put in the time yourself to get there as it’s apparent you still aren’t quite grasping it
@LokhuKuyize@LawrenceLepard@PeterMallouk It doesn’t fundamentally undermine Bitcoin’s core properties for legitimate users.
Seizure likely occurred via cooperation, arrests, key surrender under legal pressure, or tracing/ compromise in the scam operation—not by magically breaking Bitcoin’s cryptography.
@LokhuKuyize@LawrenceLepard@PeterMallouk Duh.
Bitcoin is not “crypto.” The distinction is critical, especially on seizure resistance, which is the core of the X post…

JASON LOWERY: “Blaming Bitcoin to protect your failing hegemony is not going to help you, your financial system is still going to collapse.”
“Bitcoin didn’t cause a bunch of bankers to debase savers and to destroy the purchasing power of the currency.”
