“Please understand there is no pessimism in this house and we are not interested in the possibilities of defeat. They do not exist.” - our beloved Queen Victoria, on BIP-110
In 1776, Americans signed a document that rejected centralized power.
We declared a new government by the people, for the people.
But one power was never handed back to the people. Our money.
250 years later, it’s still controlled by unelected officials.
You can't vote them out. But you can declare your own independence.
With Bitcoin, we finally have money by the people, for the people.
The colonists didn't just hate the tea tax.
They hated taxation without representation.
Inflation is taxation without representation.
No vote. No debate. No consent.
Just a committee of unelected bankers deciding how much of your purchasing power evaporates this quarter.
The colonists dumped tea in a harbor.
We're dumping fiat for bitcoin.
Same rebellion. Different century.
Join the revolution.
I’m about to tell you something that will piss you off
(but you need to hear it):
You are 50× more productive than someone in 1950.
So why aren’t you 50× wealthier?
Your grandfather built cars by hand.
You design them with computers.
Your great-grandmother calculated by slide rule.
You process data at light speed.
Every productivity gain should have made you richer.
Instead, wages don’t keep up with prices as…
• Houses cost 10× more relative to income
• College costs 20× more
• Healthcare costs 15× more
All those productivity gains should flow back into the economy to everyone. But where did they go?
The banking cartel siphoned it off through money printing.
Every dollar they create dilutes the dollars you earn.
Productivity gains taken.
Right under our noses.
Trillions stolen.
Bitcoin ends the heist.
With hard money, all productivity gains go to holders of Bitcoin.
Thus, life gets less expensive.
Understand?
The internet is insanely complex.
Still, billions use it without knowing how it works.
That’s adoption.
Bitcoin’s future looks the same.
Invisible infrastructure.
Understood by a few.
Used by everyone.
Normie Logic: "If I try to spend Bitcoin at Whole Foods, the cashier will look at me like I'm huffing paint thinner. Therefore, Bitcoin is a failed experiment."
Reality: Yeah. Mostly true today.
You know what else was true?
In 1991, if you walked into a business meeting and asked for someone's email address, they'd stare at you like you just proposed a timeshare on the moon.
"What's an email? Is that like a fax machine but slower?"
Ask a company for their website URL? They'd hand you a phonebook and tell you to grow up.
The internet wasn't "adoption-ready" in 1991. It was a nerd toy for basement dwellers and defense contractors.
Fast forward 15 or 20 years. Every grandmother on Earth has an AOL account, and every business without a website is extinct.
Can you spend Bitcoin at the grocery store today? Wrong question.
What's monetary infrastructure going to look like in 20 years when central banks have printed another $50 trillion and the dollar is wheezing its last breath?
Skate to where the puck is going.
Bitcoin isn't failing because Safeway doesn't accept it yet. Bitcoin is monetizing while the world clips fiat coupons, too distracted to notice the base layer of human civilization getting rewritten.

“Why would you need Bitcoin when you have tokenized gold?”
Tokenized gold is inferior to bitcoin because it is a tokenized asset, rather than an asset in and of itself.
Additionally, tokenized gold has the same weakness as physical gold: horrible auditability and reliance on trusted third parties.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
In 2010, 99.99% of the world didn't own Bitcoin.
Today? Still 98.7%.
2010: 0.0001% of the world owned Bitcoin. Basically nobody.
2015: 0.07% owned Bitcoin. Still microscopic. The crowd laughed.
2020: 0.6% owned Bitcoin. 99.4% of humanity still trusting fiat.
2025: 1.3% own Bitcoin. We've cracked 1%. Many thinking "it's too late."
And if you're reading this without owning any Bitcoin, you are voluntarily choosing to be part of the 98.7%.
You are choosing to be late.
For a country to survive, there has to be a common culture.
Nobody dies to defend a “multicultural economic zone”!
American culture, with its English-Scotts-Irish origin, is great and worth fighting for.
Some may not realize it, but that’s why people come here.

Normie Think: Bitcoin has no underlying utility, unlike Gold and silver which utility.
You're proving my point while thinking you're refuting it.
Money that's "useful for other things" is terrible money.
That's the problem.
Gold's industrial demand competes with its monetary demand. That's price distortion baked into the molecule.
Bitcoin does one thing:
be money.
Zero industrial overhead pulling it in different directions.
Pure monetary function.
That's not a weakness.
A lot of people are asking me about the recent #Bitcoin price drop.
ANSWER: Bitcoin is behaving as it always behaves. Zoom out. I don't worry about it. All you really need to know is . . .
1) There will never be more than 21 MILLION Bitcoins for 8 Billion people. (19.9 Million have been mined, which means only 1.1 Million left to mine).
2) Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized money or crypto asset -- meaning Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone or any small group. It operates on its own autonomously in accordance with a fixed set of rules.
3) Because of Point 2, Bitcoin is unconfiscatable and uncensorable if you self-custody.
4) There are more possibilities for private key codes than there are atoms in the known universe.
5) Bitcoin is the only asset class that enables you to move your wealth with a few key strokes without permission of a third party. (You can't move real estate. And find out what happens if you try to carry your gold bar across a border or through an airport.)
6) These price corrections are healthy because they crush the rest of Crypto -- 99.9% of which are scams.
