Choose wisely your financial system. #Bitcoin

[Simon Dixon @SimonDixonTwitt]

Exactly what the financial-industrial complex is doing with Bitcoin right now.

They want to custody your Bitcoin while encouraging you to lever up and borrow against it, so they can margin-call you when they scoop it up on the cheap.

They want BlackRock, Strategy, Coinbase, or a Cantor-connected Bitcoin treasury company to hold your Bitcoin.

They want your Bitcoin wrapped in Michael Saylor, Brandon Lutnick, Adam Back, David Bailey, Jack Mallers, Steve Witkoff, Eric Trump, or Donald Trump Jr. instead of held in your own self-custody.

Understand the difference between owning Bitcoin and owning a financial product built around Bitcoin.

One moves you closer to sovereignty.

The other moves Bitcoin closer to the financial-industrial complex.

Your choice.

🇦🇷 Peter Thiel has temporarily relocated his family to Argentina, purchased a $12 million mansion in one of Buenos Aires’ most exclusive neighborhoods, and enrolled his children in local schools.

🇺🇸 When a state like California starts introducing a wealth tax, it is not because politicians are socialist or stupid.

It’s because they want to drive out the wealthy on purpose and reduce the tax base, deliberately asset-stripping the state for private institutional ownership that can use the tax code to secure exemptions and advantages.

It’s not because politicians are stupid.

It’s not because they are radical left-wing communists.

That’s the narrative that keeps you locked into the belief that the left has the back of the poor, while the right gets to point at the left when the state goes to shit.

It’s because the state is being acquired by the financial-industrial complex, and the resulting civil unrest serves the private prison sector of the military-industrial complex.

At the same time, they install a police and surveillance system that benefits the technological-industrial complex powered by Palantir.

The same one Peter Thiel works for.

It’s a business model.

Anywhere you see a wealth tax, it’s an end-game asset-stripping exercise that gives more power to the wealthy, not less.

They are not coming after billionaires.

They are transferring wealth to billionaires.

By design.

ALL POLITICIANS WORK FOR THEIR CORPORATE LOBBIES.

Stop believing in left-versus-right politics.

It’s a distraction from the reality that you vote with your money.

Hidden in the chaos is arguably Bitcoin's greatest adoption story to date.

In the middle of a war, a country chose Bitcoin to settle trade. Not gold. Not the dollar. Not stablecoins.

Why? Because in the end, the best money wins. Bitcoin is money for all when you need it most.

[Simon Dixon @SimonDixonTwitt]

@RepJackKimble But you work for the lobby’s that pay you the real money.

That doesn’t require intelligence.

That requires compliance, corruption and acting skills.

🇦🇪 Dubai is full of traffic and crowds again. Already missing the Iranian fireworks — they helped clear the city of the easily impressed.

The UAE’s air defenses proved excellent under fire. For 0% tax, we get better protection than Europeans paying 50%.

Jeff Booth gives one of the greatest speeches EVER on Bitcoin 🙌

[Simon Dixon @SimonDixonTwitt]

🇺🇸 Federal Reserve regime change to the next Epstein-class financial-industrial complex puppet incoming.

Short-term rates down.

Fed balance sheet up to manage the hike in long-term rates and mortgages.

FX swaps to discourage foreign bond and equity sales.

K-shaped economy to the moon.

Unemployment numbers hidden through the gig economy.

Inflation hidden by using a new inflation index over PPI.

Boomers happy.

The majority of Americans left behind.

Boycott and keep up with Bitcoin in self-custody before the big print to stimulate an AI and robotics bailout.

The worst mistakes in life are made when you try to do fast what’s meant to be done slow. Real, durable things take a long time to build. Careers. Businesses. Relationships. Health. No hacks or shortcuts. The long way is the right way.

Value is not a physical thing

To all the people who think bitcoin can’t have value because it’s not tangible...

Tangible assets constitute the following percentage of the Mag7 market caps:

Nvidia: 0.66%
Apple: 1.38%
Tesla: 4.06%
Microsoft: 7.29%
Alphabet: 8.39%
Meta: 9.56%
Amazon: 16.28%
Combined weighted average: 5.79%

If you liquidated all of these companies’ physical assets, they wouldn’t amount to 6% of their valuation. There have been days in which the market caps of these companies have moved by more than the total value of their physical assets.

If 94% of the value of the most valuable companies on earth is non-physical, then value does not have to be physical.

If digital things have no value, then you should have no problem with giving me your computer to erase all the data from it. I will return your computer to you in the same exact physical form. I will just press a few buttons that remove all your data, photos, and contacts, and make it impossible for you to restore them. If value can only be tangible, then all of these digital things have no value, and you shouldn’t mind me deleting them as long as the devices return in their original state. I don’t think you would.

Technology, data, business knowledge, customer base, brands, and so much more are non-physical assets whose value likely exceeds that of all the planet’s physical objects and land. This is something most people understand in their daily lives, but because most people have no understanding of money, they do not understand how it applies to money, too.

Most people think their money is physical, but in reality, most fiat currencies today are 90%+ digital, and usually less than 10% of the supply is physical paper money. There are no stacks of dollars in your bank sitting in a box under your name, available for you to pick up at any time. A tiny fraction of the money is physical, and the rest is digital, manufactured in various quantities by your bank, government, central bank, and other pedophiles, in quantities based on pure vibes. People still give this non-physical fiat money value because it is the only money they can use with a bank account, since governments only license banks that use their local fiat shitcoin. There is no need for the money to be physical to work; digital fiat money works as well as physical fiat money; or as badly.

Bitcoin is an entirely digital money, but it is given value for far more intelligent and peaceful reasons than fiat money. You can read more about that in my books The Bitcoin Standard and The Fiat Standard, which you can buy from Amazon or https://t.co/Va3iL87Ups.

A common objection to bitcoin’s value is: “But if people stop believing in the value of bitcoin it can lose all value.” But that is true of everything. If people stop believing in the value of gold, it would lose value and just become another worthless rock. If people stop believing in the value of electronic devices then Apple and Nvidia go to zero. If people stop believing in the value of Manhattan, then all Manhattan real estate goes to zero. If people discover that tomatoes are poisonous, they stop believing in the value of tomatoes, and the entire planet’s tomato industry goes to zero. Just because something is physical does not guarantee its value, as we can see from the infinite amount of sand and rocks on our Earth left completely untouched by human hands. Physical things can be valueless and non-physical things can have value. Value and physicality are two independent things that are orthogonal to each other. You are doing yourself a disservice if you are unable to benefit from the world’s most advanced money and best saving technology because you are unable to see that value can be non-physical in this one instance, when you have no problem seeing it elsewhere.

Trump works for the same people that the next leader will work for, and Biden worked for.

And it’s not the American people.

COVID: flatten the curve... just one shot... shots & boosters... still get sick, stuck inside, inflation isn't transitory.

Iran: we WON'T negotiate... we're negotiating... going well... Hormuz still closed, oil shock.

Fiat is deception, debt, and war. Opt out, buy bitcoin.
