To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson
It's not that people don't understand Bitcoin.
It's that they were never taught to question the money they use everyday.
Learn about fiat and suddenly bitcoin makes sense.
Bitcoin isn't real! It's not physical!
Yeah? Neither is the number seven, but I bet you'd notice if your bank balance dropped by seven figures.
Let me break the spell for you: money has never been "real."
Money is a collective hallucination—a social construct we all agree to pretend exists so we don't have to barter chickens for dental work.
Gold wasn't money because it fell from heaven with "LEGAL TENDER" stamped on it.
We picked gold because it was the least-bad physical object that checked the boxes:
- Scarce
- Durable
- Divisible
- Portable
- Verifiable
It was the analog solution to our shared idea.
But here's the thing about analog: it's slow, heavy, and requires armed guards.
And here's the thing about humans: we engineer better tools.
We went from abacus to iPhone. From carrier pigeons to satellites.
From gold bars locked in vaults to Bitcoin—verified by thermodynamics, secured by energy, and transmitted at the speed of light.
Bitcoin is the digital versioin of money. Just like X is the digital version of town hall.
Gold was the best we could do for many centuries.
Bitcoin is what we can do now that we have cryptography, distributed consensus, and proof-of-work anchored in physics.
Your grandpa trusted gold because he could hold it.
You trust Bitcoin because you can verify it.
One required faith in a metal. The other requires faith in math.
Guess which one has never been debased, diluted, or confiscated by executive order?
The concept of money is a human mental construct.
Always has been. Always will be.
The only question is: do you want your construct built on scarcity enforced by governments—or scarcity enforced by code?
Gold was monetary technology for the industrial age. Bitcoin is monetary technology for the information age.
Welcome to the upgrade.
⚡️Most “smart people” fail because intelligence is a protection strategy.
It is how they avoid risk, avoid rejection, avoid being seen trying.
They build a life where their identity depends on being right.
Real life pays the people who can be wrong repeatedly and still keep moving.
So the ranking goes like this.
Courage beats IQ.
Reps beat talent.
Social positioning beats private brilliance.
Stamina beats bursts.
Timing beats theory.
The dirty secret is that society is not a meritocracy of ideas.
It is a selection engine for people who can tolerate exposure.
High energy risk takers win because they accept humiliation as the entry fee.
A lot of very smart people do not lose because they lack capability.
They lose because they cannot metabolize failure without their self image collapsing.
They call it burnout.
It is often fear with better branding.
The other layer is incentives.
The system trained them to optimize for grades, credentials, and approval.
Then it dropped them into a world where approval is scarce, rules are hidden, and the score is money, attention, and leverage.
So they freeze.
Meanwhile the “mid” operator ships, sells, networks, compounds, and takes the upside.
The world does not belong to the smartest.
It belongs to whoever can keep stepping into the arena without needing the arena to validate them.
Of course Epstein tried to control bitcoin. The entire point of bitcoin is that he can't.
This isn't the dollar or gold; there are no demented pedophiles in charge to blackmail.
If you sell the money he can't control for the one he controls, have fun staying a slave of pedos!
⚡️“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I say to you, do not show opposition against an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other toward him also."
Matthew 5:38-39
This teaching is the most subversive idea ever aimed at a human nervous system.
It’s not really about morality, holiness, or even forgiveness - it’s about evolutionary control of attention.
The line is saying: “Your perception is the real battlefield.”
Every time you strike back, whether physically or mentally, you’re still letting the other person set your emotional frequency. You’ve agreed that their behavior defines your state. That’s the original loss of freedom, not the blow itself, but the reflex to mirror it.
Turning the other cheek is the refusal to outsource your consciousness.
It’s the moment you stop being programmable.
That’s what nobody likes about it: it doesn’t offer catharsis. It offers responsibility.
It forces you to notice that violence, resentment, and moral superiority all grow from the same root, the belief that your peace depends on someone else changing.
Deep down, the verse is a manual for escaping the feedback loop that built human history.
Every empire, feud, and revolution has run on the same operating system: “I suffer, therefore I retaliate.”
Jesus’ line is the first clean break from that code.
If you take it literally, it’s unbearable.
If you take it structurally, it’s liberation.
The only real revolution is to stop letting the world decide who you are in the instant after it wounds you.
⚡️“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.
Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.
But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Matthew 6:5–6 (NIV)
@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.
Per this CNBC reporting, the strategy favoring gold and Bitcoin now has a name: JP Morgan analysts are calling it "the debasement trade."
