Pre-order my new e-book today, before release this Friday 10/25.
Universal in its approach, the book shows how bliss can be experienced now and not in some imagined future.
Have you had enough of happiness? Are you ready for bliss? #livingblissfully

Rebuilding 1infinite as a living body of work whose axis is the 1.
Books, Gurbani-centered resources, talks, and contemplative inquiry...not doctrine to adopt, but an invitation into clarity.
The work is still unfolding, but the doorway is open

Mike Green (@profplum99) and I rarely agree on anything, but this piece he wrote is a must-read for every person in business or finance.
One of those things you read and then can't unsee what you learned.

JP Morgan vs Strategy
A debate erupted with two opposing narratives about Strategy $MSTR
One group claims MSTR is about to go bankrupt
The other claims MSTR is taking on JP Morgan & threatening the financial order
Both of these narratives miss the structural reality of how the Financial-Industrial Complex (FIC) works
Coming from someone who worked in investment banking & understands how these systems are designed from the inside, neither of these interpretations reflect what is likely to occur
People assume the world’s largest corporations like Apple, NVIDIA & Microsoft are corporate giants that dictate global outcomes. But strategically, they are not sovereign, they are operators inside the FIC, which controls them through proxy voting blocs, credit windows, index structures, underwriting monopolies, export controls, regulatory chokepoints & political capital allocation
Corporations control operational decisions (products, engineering, marketing), but they do not control strategic direction (capital flows, refinancing, geopolitical alignment)
At the strategic level, FIC sets the boundaries
This is the lens through which MSTR must be understood
None of this is personal to Michael Saylor
This is what happens when a finite-game corporate entity depends on the FIC’s capital markets while holding an infinite-game monetary asset
In sovereign finance, creditor institutions vassalize nations by pairing infinite sovereign horizons with finite recurring liabilities
Nations rarely default; instead, their debt is rolled over forever, creating permanent influence over policy
The power comes not from taking the asset, but from controlling the vehicle
Strategy faces a similar structural tension
Bitcoin represents the infinite game (no maturity date, no counterparty & long-term network resilience)
MSTR is the finite vehicle (quarterly earnings, debt maturities, refinancing schedules, index eligibility & institutional shareholder expectations)
That asymmetry makes MSTR exposed to the FIC weaponry that governs the finite game: short interest, derivatives, index exclusion, collateral rules, liquidity channels & broker-dealer influence
MSTR is not about to collapse, because the FIC does not benefit from its collapse
MSTR is not taking on the system, because structurally it cannot
The FIC benefits most when MSTR stays alive, not because they support Bitcoin, but because MSTR serves as a highly effective tool for applying short-term finite-game pressure on infinite-game Bitcoin
Bitcoin itself cannot be disciplined, but the corporate wrapper holding 649,870 BTC can
It’s a leveraged proxy, a potential forced seller under certain conditions, & a vehicle for sentiment manipulation
These features make MSTR more useful alive than dead
Because its obligations exceed its cash flow, it remains perpetually dependent on FIC’s financing windows, a textbook form of structural vassalization
Structurally, it is far more likely to function as a tool for Wall Street than as an opponent to it
The FIC does not need to destroy MSTR. It needs MSTR to continue existing as an instrument through which the finite-game FIC can influence short-term Bitcoin dynamics
You cannot beat Wall Street in the short-term finite game (nobody can), but you can l win the long-term infinite game
Bitcoin cannot be manipulated over multi-year horizons
Fiat markets can distort, pressure, or amplify short-term noise, but cannot change Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory
On long time horizons, Bitcoin’s incentives overpower every short-term mechanism deployed against it
The real battle is not “Strategy vs JPMorgan”
The real battle is derivative, money, stock, crypto & bond printers v Bitcoin in self-custody
We do not beat FIC by trading against it
We beat it by exiting it entirely
We beat it through long-term holding & self-custody
The FIC manipulates finite games; Bitcoin rewards infinite-game players
Bitcoin is the infinite game
Self-custody is how we win it
@RaoulGMI Yes, it started earlier. Repeated apologies and specific steps to resolve. Reset state and begin anew, only to fail and be questioned…rinse and repeat.
@KobeissiLetter Mega-cap melt-up? Sure—but that’s baked into cap-weighted passive flows. Every new $ in an index chases the biggest names. Bogle didn’t design for this scale, but the mechanic’s well-known. It’s structure, not sudden hysteria.
Spoke with @Fidelity re: the $50 fee for each $MTPLF trade.
They claim to pay $50-$150/trade to their MM for forms since $MTPLF is not registered on the DTC. Others, like @etrade, Schwab have Internal MMs.
@Fidelity, help your customers get the best $ by investing internally.
@PunterJeff Really enjoyed the @strategy earnings seminar—great insights & bold projections (above).
@saylor made a compelling case for STRK & STRF’s torque. Curious though: do these impressive outcomes hinge on a balanced deployment? What risks come with leaning too far into one lever?
@BritishHodl Asking for a friend who's irresponsibly long $MSTR: Per the earnings PPT @saylor has all these levers, right? But we're just pulling the ATM one like it’s the only one on the spaceship 🚀. Meanwhile, STRF & STRK still on vacation 🏝️📅 @PunterJeff@JoshMandell6
@APompliano Can facts penetrate an echo chamber?
Manufacturing is ex-US for cheap goods. US consumers pay for #tariffs as exporters/importers unlikely to.
Made in the USA=⬆️jobs⬆️COGS⬆️inflation
I support☝️but plz don't confuse the cost
No income tax? How pay 4 infra, benefits, defense?🤯
@saylor@saylor, love and respect your commitment to #bitcoin. The Trump family's company launched meme coins on Solana and created massive exit liquidity, none of which was reinvested in Solana. Then, they bought ETH & wBTC (on Ethereum) with a fraction of it. Thoughts?
@TheBTCTherapist 🤣Plz...it's meant to be funny.
#Bitcoin is not a swiss bank in one's pocket. #Blockchain...WDYT onchain analysts do?
No anonymity in bitcoin, only pseudonymity.
Not sure about diamonds, but blockchain transactions are forever, so long as the blockchain exists!😂
@BillAckman@Harvard@MIT@Penn Take it from one whose community #sikhs have suffered multiple genocides...such ire at words when, as defined by you, literal genocide is being perpetrated upon Palestinians = #hypocrisy
Words are not violence. Violence is violence.
@GBallarani@iluminatibot Dishonest framing. Political theater.
Change is + ~43% (0.012/0.028).
Legitimate concerns: how electricity is produced (renewable or fossil), raw materials for EV batteries (impact, sustainability)
Other: Meat (esp. red) ~ vehicles,uses land + water, produces Methane, etc.
@PeterLBrandt Yes, if it's just.
Should Presidents never be held to account by subsequent Justice Depts because it lacks precedent? Alleged crimes by current pols do not automatically excuse their predecessors.
The #cognitivedissonance of party faithful & the 'reasonable' is equally jarring!
@MarioNawfal All that is, and all that isn't, is 1. Anthropomorphic labels for the 1 are rhetorical (political) devices and not the Truth of 1's essence. Differences are temporal. If you don't yet get that, then plz dig deeper.🙏
