When you stand at the gate of bitcoin for the first time, all you see is a speculative investment. One that does not appear to lead anywhere special, because Fiat has blinded you to its deeply profound nature. Come. Be a disciple, and learn how to see…

"It's not just any money, it's money that is just."

@TomerStrolight reads "Bitcoin Is More" — the case that Bitcoin isn't money or software, but a voluntary citizenship no government can revoke.

The strategy is simple:

buy as much Bitcoin as you can between now and November

[Shifu Dumo @dumimo]

NOW. Now is the time to be buying into Bitcoin. Not because it’s ’the dip’, but that the Power Law Average ($134k) reveals we are currently in a fire sale. DCA’ing near the 5% band, ensures the least risk to acquire long term upside.

[Jeff Swanson @theswansjr]

"Bitcoin isn't backed by anything."
Let me stop you right there.

Bitcoin is backed by energy. Real energy. Kilowatts. Heat. Physics.
The kind of backing you can't print, fake, or vote into existence at an emergency Fed meeting.

Every block mined is a thermodynamic proof of work. Not a promise. Not a policy. Proof.

The issuance schedule has never been amended by a committee. Not once. Not ever. Because there is no committee.
There's just math. Cold, indifferent, and immune to political theater.

The network is secured by more raw computing power than anything humanity has ever built. Hundreds of exahashes per second standing guard. Every single day.

Now let's talk about what is backed by nothing.
The dollar.

It's is backed by confidence. Specifically, confidence in the institution that printed $6 trillion in two years while telling you 3% inflation was healthy and you should be grateful for the soft landing.

In the same people who can't pass an audit.
Who fund wars with a credit card.
Who promise solvency while sitting on $39 trillion in debt and accelerating.

"Backed by nothing" isn't an attack on Bitcoin.
It's a confession about the dollar.

Follow if you're serious about building wealth they can't print away.

Can confirm. My wife can be seen in the second part of this clip. 🙄

@doctorsatoshiMD @LawrenceLepard And losing weight will reduce the severity of one’s sleep apnea. Double benefit. 👍

[Shifu Dumo @dumimo]

@LawrenceLepard Good to hear you tolerate CPAP. Tip: a Mandibular Advancement Device by a sleep dentist is also very useful and often more tolerable, when OSA isn’t too severe. But yeah. Protect your sleep. Good to hear you’re back to being a spry young man full of energy. 😊

Building on the economic layer:
Post-activation, mempools diverge immediately… compliant monetary txs confirm safely on both chains, but anything touching spam (even later “monetary” spends of change, sale proceeds, or downstream payments) only exists on the lenient side.

That means even simple BTC transfers on the lenient chain carry reorg risk if they have any spam ancestry in the UTXO set. Valid economic value starts to split between the two chains.

All participants (not just spammers or miners) need an unreasonable level of care for the FULL 1-year activation window. This adds massive extra gravity for the strict chain. 🤯

[Shifu Dumo @dumimo]

This turns the prisoner’s dilemma into full-stack economic pressure: miners avoid block wipeouts, users avoid value wipeouts, spam becomes a negative-sum game for anyone downstream. Strengthens the coordination pull toward BIP-110 even more.

Thanks for the clear vid. I now see why it’s more likely than skeptics think! 😊

Fiat cannot die fast enough.
Move your wealth to Bitcoin.

[Simon Dixon @SimonDixonTwitt]

For the government, war is called GDP.

For the military-industrial complex, war is called revenue and profit.

For shareholders, war is called share price growth and dividends.

For the financial-industrial complex, war is called wealth transfer, bonds & yield.

For the technical-industrial complex, war is called innovation, data and beta testing.

For the people, war is called debt and inflation.

For the victims of war, war becomes the trauma and radicalisation used to manufacture the next cycle of strategic tension that justifies even more war.

The goal is never to win.

The goal is to spend as much money as possible.

The more destruction, the more reconstruction contracts.

The more instability, the more debt issuance.

The more chaos, the more resources, infrastructure and trade routes get renegotiated.

That’s the business model.

You’re not defending democracy or saving the people.

You’re defending the terrorism your governments and intelligence networks helped create, fund, arm & exploit.

And then the fear from that terrorism gets turned back on you.

While you and your children pay the bill.

While the media manufactures consent and distorts reality to cheer it along.

And if you question any of it, they call you the conspiracy theorist, extremist or domestic terrorist.

You are funding terrorism and calling it defending democracy.

And most of you don’t even know it.

You called it patriotism.

You are the product.

Get it?

[Cris Reed 🎙️Bitcoin Mindset Podcast @CrisReed]

Increase their salaries by 2%

Then increase the monetary supply by 8%

Now call “savings” their bank accounts that give them 1%

Then call the “risk free rate” 4% tied to T Bills to trick them into thinking inflation and cost of living is only 2% accelerating only as fast as their salary

Then have riskier debt instruments (IG - junk - private credit) pay 5-8% to make them think they’re outpacing monetary debasement

Then call bitcoin a scam so they will be distracted and stay on the never-ending hamster wheel

[Shifu Dumo @dumimo]

@GrassFedBitcoin Ver actively campaigned for protocol-level changes that would have made running full nodes more expensive and centralized validation. Saylor has done the opposite. Bitcoin is for everyone and acquiring more does not “centralize or undermine the protocol.”

@makshibuya @Giovann35084111 Especially if it’s a zoom link that they need you to install something because their link is mysteriously not working. This has hit several Bitcoiners influencers, from scammers claiming to be Bloomberg and other major outlets.

@Pledditor @Strike Don’t forget, Tether and Zagury tried to shut down Swan BTC services and dispose of its CEO. It’s a ploy via voting shares. Bring in related entities you control, then use the voting control to gut the target.

[Shifu Dumo @dumimo]

@CorySwan @Cointelegraph @jackmallers Yeah. After all his advocacy, it’s just sad to see him either make poor choices or become co-opted.

[Shifu Dumo @dumimo]

@TFTC21 The last time Tether and Zagury were involved in a merger of mining and a direct Bitcoin sales platform (Swan), they tried to shut down the direct Bitcoin purchases, steal IP, gut talent, and remove its CEO. I’m a bit concerned for @jackmallers
