This year feels different. I don’t know if this team is gonna keep winning - none of us do
What I do know is the wins don’t feel lucky. Plays don’t feel like flukes. For the first time in FOREVER this Raiders team feels intentional in every way. Love watching.

Owning zero bitcoin in 2014 was normal.
Ignoring bitcoin in 2017 could be forgiven.
Skipping out on bitcoin in 2021 was kinda crazy.
Still having zero bitcoin 2026 is a colossal mistake.
President @nayibbukele discovers The Imprisoned-Criminal Fallacy, the corollary of The Broken-Window Fallacy, on which all of Keynesian nonsense rests.
The Keynesian scammers of the fiat cartel told him that eliminating crime would reduce GDP. Yet in reality, it raised GDP.
This is because crime is destructive rather than productive. Crime doesn't create economic goods; it just takes them from those who created them and gives them to those who commit crimes. Locking up criminals does not reduce production, but for Keynesian fiat scammers, it seems to reduce spending because criminals are no longer spending while locked in prison, and the Keynesian scammers only care about spending because they do not understand the concept of production.
In the real world, spending is not actually reduced, because the productive victims of crime now get to keep their money and spend it themselves. The criminal goes to jail, and the tomato seller he extorted gets to keep his money and spend it on things he likes. Not only is spending not reduced, but production actually increases when the criminals are locked up, as President Bukele points out. Locking up criminals shifts society's incentives away from crime and toward production. It becomes much harder to earn from crime, so you have to turn into a productive human and do something useful for others.
Equivalently, Keynesian scammers think broken windows are 'good for the economy' because they lead to increased spending: when a window is broken, the window owner needs to spend money getting it fixed, and that makes the window maker richer, causing him to spend more himself, with a multiplier effect that ripples prosperity throughout society. This is hilariously stupid because without breaking the window, the window owner would spend the window repair money on another thing, and he would have the window and the other thing! And an equivalent chain of spending would ensue. But the vandal who broke the window would have to spend their time doing something productive instead of being a Keynesian vandal.
It is no wonder that Keynesian economics leads to pro-criminal conclusions; the entire ideology was invented by a despicable child-raping criminal, and it has been used to justify the two greatest crimes in human history: fiat central banking and the many wars it finances.
"The Science" is invoking the 5th Amendment...
...on the same day Trump promises to "beat the fuc*ing sh*t out of [Iran]" for attacking US bases in Jordan...
...with missiles he said had been destroyed...
...5 months into what he said would be a 3–4-week war.

Time for time.
Energy for energy.
Value for value.
#Bitcoin is international energy money with a fixed supply.
It is both the bridge and the measuring stick for more abundant time, energy, and quality of life (value) for humanity.
It is the antithesis of government fiat currencies, which actively steal your time, energy, and quality of life (value).
Greater Cleveland is finally getting an IKEA.
The retailer announced it will open a new small-format store at Crocker Park in Westlake, taking over the former Dick's Sporting Goods location that closed after its 20-year run.
The store is expected to open in spring 2027.
Underrated life advice: A good life is built by simply doing uncomfortable things sooner. The delayed conversation gets harder. The ignored problem gets bigger. The small repair gets more expensive. Peace is never found through avoidance. It’s found through direct early action.
