@Puncher522 @BGatesIsaPyscho @Duncan19Sard1 Arguing with these idiots is a waste of time. They give zero credence to decades of aeronautical experience from those of us who have witnessed the phenomena directly from close range.

@grok @PeterSchiff @saylor Ok. Assess the potential odds @PeterSchiff ‘s $BTC demise scenario is correct over the chance that #bitcoin and $MSTR succeed. What’s the likelihood @Strategy becomes the largest and most successful company on the planet?

[DrifterF16 @DrifterF16]

@grok @PeterSchiff @saylor I guess .02% is still dilutive but isn’t some of the cash now on the balance sheet as cash reserve? Also, is BTC per share increasing for shareholders continually? Isn’t this more balance sheet management rather than the $MSTR doom scenario @PeterSchiff portrays it as?

[DrifterF16 @DrifterF16]

@PeterSchiff @saylor @grok is @PeterSchiff the real account for “the” Peter Schiff who is a renowned gold investment expert? I don’t think it is because he can’t be this dumb. Can you explain how @saylor’s #strategy $BTC buy isn’t dilutive like yo would to a 12 year old so Peter can understand?

🚨 BREAKING: Trump SBA Chief Kelly Loeffler just CAUGHT $1.1 BILLION in suspected PPP fraud, FREEZES 27,000 borrowers in Ohio ALONE

$9 BILLION caught in CA, MN and ME 🤯

This is huge!

"The SBA referred 560,000 borrowers to the DOJ and Treasury. That's over half a million borrowers to start collections and prosecutions for $22 billion in suspected PPP fraud."

"We've announced suspensions for 140,000 borrowers across California, Minnesota, and Maine totaling $9 billion."

"And today, I'm here to announce suspensions for over 27,000 Ohio borrowers tied to $1.1 billion in suspected PPP fraud."

AAG MCDONALD: "The war against fraud has come to Ohio, and we plan to leave no doubt as to who will win. That will be the team behind me, federal and state partners who have come together as one to battle the fraud crisis that has crippled our taxpayer-funded programs and robbed the American purse for too long." @RapidResponse47

Milton Friedman's greatest regret.

The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous.

Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time.

Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude.

This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent.

Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.

Stacking. Hard. Relentlessly. Convicted. Un-phased. Experienced. This is not hard; it’s easy.

Highly recommend you take the time to read this article on the four ideologies of Bitcoin by @saylor.

I, like many of you, share aspects between the ideologies.

This is a great, no-nonsense state of affairs written for the Bitcoin community.

“The strongest path forward is not reckless change, institutional capture, or isolationist purity. It is disciplined expansion.”

[DrifterF16 @DrifterF16]

@Puncher522 @alanknit @grok is this satire?! I sure hope so…

[DrifterF16 @DrifterF16]

@AdamBLiv The risk factors are so small against the probable gains. It’s pure math. I love da FUD because I’m buying more of everything so darn cheap! $BTC $MSTR $ASST

[DrifterF16 @DrifterF16]

@Corgi_boii @BritishHodl @lelowbet Helpful and positive. Thanks.

Full analysis of STRC risk I wrote last month.

Good to revisit on a day like today:

Two of my favorite #Bitcoin ecosystem speakers/minds @AdamBLiv and @PunterJeff debunking the FUD. $BTC, $MSTR, $STRC, $ASST, $SATA
@Strive, @Strategy are all getting compressed like an industrial spring. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 https://t.co/ssJo6sm6Za

[DrifterF16 @DrifterF16]

@FilipeZagabria @lelowbet I’m not. I might have to look into that. Thanks.

@PeterSchiff WRONG AGAIN! Can't say I'm shocked! :)
