If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.
The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.
And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.
Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.
You’re free to ignore Bitcoin
But you can never ignore the effects of people around you that hold a harder money than you do
We’ve seen 17 years of this so far
Bitcoin is the biggest financial win for humanity we have ever seen
The first finite asset which also provides the world’s first true property rights
Properly held bitcoin can never be taken from you without your consent and can never be debased
History will record this as the most obvious moment that was somehow missed by the most people. The debt was public. The printing was public. The alternative was public. Everything was visible. The only question history will ask is what you did when you saw it.
The banks are fragile. The dollar is broken. The debt is unpayable. And there exists an asset that knows all three of those things and was specifically built for this exact moment.
A hundred years from now they will write about this decade the way we write about the invention of the printing press. A fundamental shift in how human beings store and transfer value. Most people who lived through it had no idea. You do. That is not nothing. That is everything.
It’s amazing how well the powers that be have kept education targeted to their advantage and away from learning about what money actually is, altogether
No one leaves college understanding money at its core…
They leave understanding fiat and Keynesian garbage 🗑️
Most people have no idea how monetization occurs in society
-Store of value
-Medium of exchange
-Unit of account
Usually takes 60 to 100+ years for a regional money to monetize
We’ve never had a fully global monetary standard, so we don’t know how long it takes, but at 17 years, bitcoin is way ahead of schedule
Anyone who tells you bitcoin has failed has no idea how this works or what the history of money is
"Bitcoin isn't backed by anything."
Let me stop you right there.
Bitcoin is backed by energy. Real energy. Kilowatts. Heat. Physics.
The kind of backing you can't print, fake, or vote into existence at an emergency Fed meeting.
Every block mined is a thermodynamic proof of work. Not a promise. Not a policy. Proof.
The issuance schedule has never been amended by a committee. Not once. Not ever. Because there is no committee.
There's just math. Cold, indifferent, and immune to political theater.
The network is secured by more raw computing power than anything humanity has ever built. Hundreds of exahashes per second standing guard. Every single day.
Now let's talk about what is backed by nothing.
The dollar.
It's is backed by confidence. Specifically, confidence in the institution that printed $6 trillion in two years while telling you 3% inflation was healthy and you should be grateful for the soft landing.
In the same people who can't pass an audit.
Who fund wars with a credit card.
Who promise solvency while sitting on $39 trillion in debt and accelerating.
"Backed by nothing" isn't an attack on Bitcoin.
It's a confession about the dollar.
Follow if you're serious about building wealth they can't print away.
Nobody gets rich from the asset that never makes them uncomfortable. The discomfort is the price of admission. If it were easy to hold, everyone would, and there’d be no upside left for the ones who did.
The dollar in your pocket will be worth less in ten years. That’s guaranteed. Bitcoin down 45% is a sale on the only money in history that can’t be printed.
If your boss cut your pay 7% every year, you’d quit on the spot. But when the central bank cuts your savings 7% every year, you call it normal and thank the bank for holding your money. Same robbery. Better marketing.
They can print a trillion dollars out of thin air whenever they want. But they tell you bitcoin, the only money on earth with a fixed supply, is the risky one. Make it make sense.
The greatest trick they pulled was convincing you that losing 7% of your purchasing power every year is normal and that the people running the printer are the ones who will save you.
