@zackvoell With the obvious difference being that 5 years ago it was expensive and overbought at this price, while today it is oversold and relatively cheap.

Perspective is everything.

Over the past five years, the cost of a typical US consumer basket rose 22.9% in dollars, but fell 26.6% when priced in bitcoin.

Bitcoin's path was obviously more volatile, but the long run contrast is striking.

Your life gets cheaper when you buy and hold btc. Zoom out.

The US stock market peaked 26 years ago.

Priced in gold, the S&P 500 is still down 66% from its 2000 high.

It is LOWER today than the day Nixon closed the gold window.

You just don't see it — because you measure your life in dollars.

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn.

The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed.

Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”

One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed.

Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit.

Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do.

They took until there was nothing left to take.

America had a greater advantage than all of them combined.

And rebuilt the nations it just defeated.

Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”

Not almost unprecedented.

It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization.

The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead.

Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership.

Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation.

Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.

Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.

Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world.

That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet.

Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination.

No other country in history can make that claim. Not one.

Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”

Every nation on earth has blood in its history.

But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter.

It’s what it does when nobody can stop it.

When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.

You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of.

By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it.

Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision.

The values that built this country didn’t just shape America.

They shaped the modern world.

AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive.

1945 was the first test.

AI is the last.

That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it.

The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.

It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to.

The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.

@fuqACTpaedos @JosephMooneyMP How has capitalism caused the inequality?

Capitalism is the engine, the driver must also have a moral direction.

My documentary on the Islamification of Birmingham has been demonetized on YouTube after reaching 600,000 views. So here is the entire video on X.

In the video, I'm told that it's okay to strike your wife if she's disobeying you. I'm told that I would have to leave the grocery store and go to the city center in order to be able to find a white person. I'm told that all women in the UK who cheat should be executed.

Thank you to @elonmusk for commenting on this video and allowing this content to be on X. If it weren't for X I genuinely think the west would have reached the point of no return already.

Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.

A wealthy private sector makes the nation rich.

A wealthy public sector makes the nation poor.

That's just how reality works.

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.

WILD.

Comparing the NZ government structure to Finland’s. A picture says 1000 words !!

Both countries have similar populations (5.5M). The structures behind are very different.

Finland:
• 12 core ministries
• Clear vertical accountability
• Defined ownership
• Built for speed, clarity, and execution

New Zealand:
• 40+ departments
• 80+ ministerial portfolios
• Layers of overlapping responsibility
• Super-ministries reporting across multiple ministers

The result? Accountability blur. No improvement. Massive waste.

In any high-performing organisation, if everyone is responsible, no one is.

NZ has exceptional people. But we need systems designed to deliver outcomes, not a birds-nest structure that creates no improvement or efficiency.

Fixing this will be a HUGE unlock on NZ long term. All parties should come together in a bi partisan way to sort this out.@actparty @NZNationalParty @nzfirst @nzlabour

Your brain is a problem-solving organ

If you don’t have real problems, your mind will just invent them

@PeterJa27056176 I want 300k pa. Tax me more in a small market where it is difficult, and I'll go somewhere else where it is easier to make the 300k. Sure I'll get taxed more in AUS, but the pathway to that number will be easier due to market size. Don't push makers away in a small market.
