Back to normal: Gold and bitcoin are trading as one again

Explaining Bitcoin to an empty room in 2013 when it was worth $100.

[Ray Dalio @RayDalio]

When you look back over the last 250 years, the United States has been an amazing place that has given people equal opportunity. People came from all over to work and live well together, becoming prosperous because you could have a good balance of freedom, rule of law, and civility. People were willing to compromise and work together because they recognized that, while imperfect, the greater system was ultimately fair.

Our founding fathers had an aspirational dream of what could be possible, and that dream became a reality. It is one hell of an accomplishment, and we must not lose sight of the principles behind that success.

Which principles do you think have contributed most to America’s success?

Jack Mallers said “I can confirm Ripple XRP is spending millions of dollars to undermine a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in America.”

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

Bitcoin’s future is shaped by dynamic consensus among nodes, miners, and holders. Influence is weighted by power: nodes by transaction power, miners by computer power, holders by economic power. Protocol changes prevail when validation, security, and capital align. $BTC

JEFF BOOTH: "Retail is going to invest in the SpaceX IPO, take money from Bitcoin to do it, move Bitcoin to SpaceX, get flushed out while the insiders of the SpaceX IPO are going to buy Bitcoin."

Same coins. Same dollars. Opposite direction.

Wickhoff wrote this playbook in 1900. Hurley unpacks why it's still running. 👇

Lyn Alden: The US is already a two-speed economy.

Older Americans on social security and defense contractors are doing fine. Everyone else is struggling.

"I do think that AI is going to actually probably add fuel to that fire."

Early adopters win. Everyone else watches their income get compressed.

(Rich suburbs next to tent cities.)

And that's the environment where UBI goes from fringe idea to political inevitability.

Lyn Alden: The telegraph and telephone broke money.

Once information could move at the speed of light but gold couldn't, it gave enormous power to whoever held the gold.

Banks and central banks said "we'll hold all the gold and if you want to beam money around, just tell us."

That's when the middlemen took over.

"[Then] both from the fractional reserve nature of the system as well as governments being unable to balance their budgets, you get major inflation over time."

This assumes that global elites will not use access to robots & AI as a control mechanism of the masses, or use robots and AI as the control mechanism itself.

Millennia of history & human nature suggest it is unlikely elites would allow such freedom, but maybe it’s different this time

[Milk Road @milkroaddaily]

Lyn Alden: The entire modern money system is only 55 years old (most people alive today were born before it existed).

"It's kind of like this been this grand experiment that the whole world has done."

Before the 1970s, money was backed by gold.

Now it's just a list of ones and zeros managed by people who can't balance a budget.

The question was always whether politicians could run a ledger responsibly.

"The answer so far is that in almost every country imbalances slowly grow."

FT @LynAldenContact @PeterMcCormack.

[Milk Road @milkroaddaily]

Lyn Alden: We're living through a slow financial collapse. Most people don't KNOW it. But they can FEEL it.

"People kind of look around and say, 'Why does it seem like everything's more expensive? I'm still earning money, but it just doesn't feel like it goes as far.' And a lot of times they're right."

The money supply has been quietly debasing wages and savings in the background for decades.

FT @LynAldenContact @PeterMcCormack.

[Milk Road @milkroaddaily]

Lyn Alden: People keep asking "when will the debt matter?" Like there's some big day of reckoning coming.

"Sovereign debt tends to work differently. It tends to be more of a process."

"It has been mattering... since about 2018/2019."

The US deficit is now bigger than ALL private bank lending combined.

That's never happened outside a recession before.

The key feature isn't simply that 2026 is "less bad."

It's that every time selling becomes intense, buyers step in much sooner than they did in 2022.

Trump doesn’t have dementia. I’ll say that clearly.

He has a narcissistic personality and the normal infirmities you’d expect at 80.

But he’s a fairly vigorous, fairly healthy 80. Don’t underestimate him.

Here’s where he’s genuinely unwell.

He’s making statements that are nowhere near what a world leader should be saying.

Threatening the death and destruction of an entire civilization on social media is a war crime.

Threatening a war crime is itself a war crime.

Imagine any other world leader saying anything close to that.

It would never happen in the first place and if it did, their own party would remove them within hours.

ITS ABSOLUTELY OVER FOR THE BEARS

HE IS NOW UP OVER 23% IN THE LAST WEEK ALONE

NO ONE CAN STOP THE #BITCOIN MACHINE

[Documenting Saylor @saylordocs]

MICHAEL SAYLOR SAID IF MICROSTRATEGY ACCUMULATES 5% OF ALL BITCOIN, BTC COULD HIT $1,000,000.

AT 7%, THE MODEL IMPLIES $10,000,000 PER BITCOIN.

ABSOLUTELY INSANE NUMBERS.

🔥THE ULTIMATE CASE FOR BITCOIN IN 2026🔥

America told the middle class to work hard, save money, buy a house, and retire with dignity.

Then the money melted, housing became a hostage negotiation, groceries turned into luxury goods, and everyone got forced into becoming a part-time macro analyst just to survive.

This video is the case for Bitcoin when everything feels terminally stupid: why hard money matters most when the system gets dumb, expensive, extractive, and spiritually obese:
