L’Italia è l’unico paese al mondo in cui chi lavora e risparmia deve dare più spiegazioni di chi ruba.
Sapete perché?
Perché lo Stato vuole la maggior parte dei soldi che con sacrificio guadagni e con lungimiranza risparmi.
Dai ladri che rubano agli altri cittadini perbene frega nulla perché non hanno nulla da dare allo Stato. Lo Stato non difende la proprietà privata e quindi che rubino pure.
Al limite i ladri devono essere arrestati e diventano un costo quindi meglio lasciarli stare…
In fondo sono dei colleghi e tra colleghi si capiscono.

La TASSA non diventa morale perché è votata a maggioranza. Se un privato ti prende denaro sotto minaccia, lo chiami furto. Se lo fa lo Stato, lo chiamano “solidarietà”. Cambia il timbro, non la sostanza.
Nel 2026 il cittadino produttivo è ormai un bancomat ambulante: IRPEF, IVA, accise, bolli, contributi, imposte patrimoniali mascherate, multe educative, burocrazia fiscale digitale. Tutto in nome del BENE COMUNE, formula magica con cui il potere trasforma la proprietà privata in concessione revocabile.
Il punto non è “pagare meno” per consumare più Stato. Il punto è capire che la PROPRIETÀ nasce prima del fisco: è il frutto del lavoro, del rischio, del risparmio, dello scambio volontario. Senza proprietà non c’è libertà; senza libertà non c’è responsabilità; senza responsabilità resta solo il suddito che chiede permesso.
Lo Stato moderno vive di una menzogna: ti tassa per proteggerti da problemi che spesso ha creato lui. Ti impoverisce con imposte e inflazione, poi ti restituisce bonus, sussidi e mancette chiamandoli diritti. Prima ti spezza le gambe, poi ti vende le stampelle.
La vera solidarietà è VOLONTARIA. La vera cooperazione nasce dal mercato, dalle comunità, dalle famiglie, dalle associazioni libere. Se serve la minaccia per finanziare un progetto, forse quel progetto non è così nobile.
Che fare? Difendere ogni spazio di autonomia: impresa, risparmio, contratti liberi, moneta non manipolabile, comunità locali, concorrenza fiscale, rifiuto culturale dell’invidia sociale. E soprattutto smettere di chiamare “contributo” ciò che è PRELIEVO COATTIVO.
La domanda decisiva è semplice: il tuo reddito appartiene a te o allo Stato? Da questa risposta dipende il futuro della civiltà libera.
You start reading weird books.
You buy “The Bitcoin Standard” and then “The Fiat Standard” and then you accidentally end up reading Murray Rothbard, and then somehow you’re reading Mises, and then it’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday and you’re 340 pages into “Human Action” and you’re highlighting passages about praxeology and your wife comes downstairs and asks if you’re coming to bed and you say “in a minute” but you don’t come to bed for two hours because you have just discovered that everything you were taught about economics in college was wrong, all of it, every single sentence, and now you can’t go back, you can never go back, you have been orange-pilled in a way that goes deeper than money, you have been epistemologically orange-pilled, you now believe that John Maynard Keynes was a charlatan and the gold standard was actually fine and the income tax is theft and you can never say any of this out loud at a dinner party ever again.

I’ve sent the last four refurbished @Bitcoinize Machines to @BitcoinNatal to bring an old dream back to life:
Bitcoinize Fernando de Noronha Island. ⚡🏝️
His request hit me like a wake-up call after my February burnout.
It reminded me that maybe I’m still the only one crazy enough to do this with real passion, organically, and against all odds. 🥷🚀
In Italia ci sono circa 30 milioni di contribuenti che dichiarano meno di 28.000 euro l’anno. Sono camerieri, commessi, operai, impiegati, giovani al primo lavoro, partite IVA sotto soglia. Pagano complessivamente circa 35 miliardi l’anno di IRPEF. Con 120 miliardi potevi azzerare la loro imposta sul reddito per tre anni. Tre anni senza IRPEF per 30 milioni di persone.
Non è successo.
120 miliardi sono sei volte la spesa annuale per l’istruzione pubblica. Sono più di quanto l’Italia spende in un anno per la difesa, la giustizia e l’ordine pubblico messi insieme. Sono il 5,4% del PIL — in debito.
Dove sono andati? A ristrutturare le case di chi le aveva già. Il meccanismo era semplice: lo Stato pagava il 110% del costo dei lavori — più del lavoro stesso. Cappotto termico, caldaia, facciata. A chiunque possedesse un immobile e un condominio abbastanza organizzato da gestire la pratica. Senza limite di reddito.
Senza controllo di prezzo.
Quando lo Stato paga il 110% e nessuno controlla, i prezzi esplodono. Le caldaie costavano il doppio. I ponteggi il triplo. I General Contractor mettevano in preventivo cifre che nessun privato avrebbe mai accettato — perché nessun privato stava pagando. Pagava lo Stato. Cioè tu.
Chi non aveva una casa non ha visto un euro. Chi viveva in affitto, in periferia, in un condominio senza amministratore — escluso. Il Superbonus ha redistribuito al contrario: da chi non possiede a chi possiede. Nessun governo avrebbe il coraggio di proporre un assegno da 35.000 euro a chiunque possiede un immobile. Ma chiamalo “bonus ecologico” e nessuno protesta.
E l’argomento ambientale? Il costo per tonnellata di CO2 risparmiata dal Superbonus è nell’ordine delle centinaia di migliaia di euro. Il mercato europeo prezza la CO2 tra i 50 e gli 80 euro a tonnellata. Per lo stesso importo potevi comprare crediti di carbonio per decenni. Ma i crediti di carbonio non hanno ponteggi e i ponteggi fanno campagna elettorale.
Adesso i ponteggi sono scesi. I prezzi dell’edilizia no. Il debito nemmeno. Restano 120 miliardi da pagare per i prossimi trent’anni e facciate rifatte su case che valevano già.
In economia c’è sempre ciò che si vede e ciò che non si vede. Il Superbonus è ciò che si vede — i cantieri, i ponteggi, il punto di PIL. Ciò che non si vede è l’IRPEF che 30 milioni di persone avrebbero potuto non pagare per tre anni.
Ciò che non si vede non si vota. Per questo non lo vedrai mai.

$42.22
That's the number.
The United States government officially values its gold at $42.22 per ounce. That's the number on the books. That's what they report to Congress. That's what the Treasury prints.
The actual price of gold today is $4,564.
Read that again.
They are valuing America's gold reserve at ONE PERCENT of its real worth. 147 million ounces. Sitting in Fort Knox. Listed at $6.2 billion. Actually worth $672 BILLION.
Why would a government undervalue its own gold by 99%?
BECAUSE IF THEY REVALUE IT — THE ENTIRE FINANCIAL SYSTEM RESETS.
May 10. Trump on camera: "We wanted to go and knock on the door of Fort Knox — a very thick door — and to see whether or not we have any gold in there. I wonder if they left the gold in Fort Knox, because they steal a lot."
He's not wondering. HE ALREADY KNOWS.
May 13. Kevin Warsh confirmed as Federal Reserve Chairman. 54-45. The narrowest margin in history. They fought it with everything they had.
May 16. Jerome Powell's last day. Gone. The man who printed $9 trillion out of thin air — REMOVED.
Three events. Six days. This is not coincidence.
The last time anyone opened Fort Knox was 1974. Fifty-two years ago. Before most of you were born. Before the internet. Before digital records. BEFORE ANYONE COULD VERIFY WHAT WAS INSIDE.
Trump wants to open the vault. Warsh wants "regime change" at the Fed. The gold is listed at $42 when it's worth $4,564.
You don't audit a vault unless you're about to USE what's inside.
$39 TRILLION in national debt. $672 billion in gold. Unless the gold is revalued. Unless the price is set free. Unless the asset that backs NOTHING is allowed to back EVERYTHING.
Gold at $42.22 is the biggest lie in American finance. It has been the lie since 1971. And three men just aligned to end it.
The door is about to open.

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.

La virtualizzazione degli asset reali, compreso il dollaro tramite l'eurodollaro, è stato un meccanismo per usare la finanziarizzazione con cui creare asset sintetici che avrebbero dovuto replicare 1:1 quelli fisici. O almeno sulla carta...
Throwback to when Kanye performed Otis on Power 106 and told everyone how incredible his verse was and how he made Big Boy stop talking so he can finish his verse😭
"Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. Gold does!"
Oh, does it now?
Let me blow your mind: 95% of gold sits in vaults doing absolutely nothing.
It's not powering electronics at scale. It's not being worn. It's just... sitting there. Because humans decided it's valuable.
That's not intrinsic value. That's monetary premium.
The exact same thing Bitcoin has. Except Bitcoin does it better:
• Harder to confiscate
• Easier to verify
• Impossible to counterfeit
• Infinitely divisible
• Moves at the speed of light across the planet
The "intrinsic value" argument is pure copium. If jewelry demand vanished tomorrow, gold would still be valuable—not because you can make circuits with it, but because of its monetary properties.
Just like Bitcoin.
"Gold will be the reserve currency!"
The gold standard failed. You know why?
Because governments couldn't print their way out of wars and welfare programs while on it. So they ditched it.
They called it "flexibility." I call it theft.
"Moderate inflation (~2%) is good!"
Good for WHO exactly?
Not savers. Not workers. Not anyone whose paycheck is denominated in melting currency.
Inflation is a hidden tax. It quietly transfers wealth from you to asset holders and everyone closest to the money printer: governments, banks, the Cantillon crew.
"But 2% is harmless!"
Really? Compound that over 30 years and your dollar loses about 45% of its purchasing power.
But wait, it gets worse.
Real monetary expansion runs closer to 6%. At that rate, your dollar loses HALF its value in roughly 12 years.
Ouch.
Bitcoin fixes this.
