MIND-BLOWING 🤯
Angel investor perfectly sums up how the "You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy" strategy is being implemented with UBI, AI, and tokenization
"This is the hidden wealth transfer"
"Assets are going to become harder and harder to own as a result of AI"
"couple that with tokenization, where they won't even let you own the asset"
"They want the custodian to own the asset and you to own the token"
"AI essentially threatens to separate consumption from ownership"
"the universal basic income, or what Elon Musk calls the universal high income, it doesn't solve the problem. It concentrates wealth significantly"
"you need to become an owner rather than a consumption supporter"
"It's going to be the subordination industrial complex, the subscription industrial complex"
"They want you to rent... rather than own the assets, and specifically the assets that are [productive]... that's why they create these manufactured crises to make sure that you own nothing and you're happy"
This clip of Simon Dixon (@SimonDixonTwitt), an angel investor, Bitcoin OG investor, and former investment banker, is taken from a video posted to the Simon Dixon YouTube channel on June 14, 2026.
----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------
"Assets are going to become harder and harder to own as a result of AI. Now couple that with tokenization, where they won't even let you own the asset. They want the custodian to own the asset and you to own the token.
"And you've got these structural paper contracts where they don't want you to own the Bitcoin, they want you to own the paper Bitcoin. So daily life gets cheaper, but ownership gets more expensive. And that's what I think we're witnessing.
"That's the trend that I'm looking out for and that's what I think the data is. This is the hidden wealth transfer. So the headlines during this whole thing will say to you, everything's getting cheaper.
"AI is making everyone's life better. You now have universal basic income. You don't need to work, but it is a wealth transfer between those different things that are happening. And so the middle class was effectively built upon ownership.
"That was the boomers after World wars that were able to get the real estate at an affordable rate. They were able to leverage up the debt. They own the property, they own the businesses, they own the stocks, they have the savings. And AI essentially threatens to separate consumption from ownership.
"And that's what I think everyone needs to prepare for. So citizens may consume more, but they'll be owning less if they don't get this trend right, if they don't become the asset owner.
"And that is really the universal basic income, or what Elon Musk calls the universal high income. It doesn't solve the problem. It concentrates wealth significantly. That's why I've always said you got to have a plan for the next five, 10 years. Even if it, takes longer, takes shorter, whatever it is, you still got to start working.
"I talked about, there was an episode on my blog, SimonDixon(.)com how to develop a 10-year plan, how to understand these different trends. But UBI is effectively consumption support, let's call it what it actually is.
"And ownership is wealth creation. And you need to become an owner rather than a consumption supporter. It's going to be the subordination industrial complex, the subscription industrial complex. Basically a monthly payment is not the same as owning the productive assets. You don't get more productive and get ahead unless you get more productive and then own the assets.
"And that's why you got to lean into this maximum productivity increase in order to spend less than you earn and invest the difference in the assets. Own more Bitcoin. This month in the sovereign strategy and then diversify accordingly in order to play some of the different things.
"Now, remember, the future may become a world where citizens rent access to virtually all sorts of things. And so really, that is the subscription industrial complex. They want you to rent it rather than own the assets, and specifically the assets that are producing it, because that's why they create these manufactured crisis to make sure that you own nothing and you're happy."
BOOMER: “Just buy a house instead of renting.”
ME: “Average house is $420,000.”
BOOMER: “Get a mortgage then.”
ME: “Rates are at 7%. That’s $2,800 a month.”
BOOMER: “Cut back on expenses.”
ME: “I don’t eat out. I don’t travel. I drive a 2015 Civic.”
BOOMER: “Maybe get a second job.”
Funny how every solution means working more for a system that keeps making the finish line further away.
But nobody ever tells the banks to lower the rates.
8300M people
58M millionaires
21M bitcoin
<1M people own 1 bitcoin
Getting to 1 BTC at $61k is still achievable:
$1173/week = 1 year
$587/week = 2 years
$391/week = 3 years
$235/week = 5 years
Get started before the money managers, the millionaires, and the masses catch on.
For those building a long-term self-custody Bitcoin position through dollar-cost averaging, this gets you more Bitcoin for the same amount of fiat.
Value your wealth in the amount of Bitcoin and Gold you accumulate if you want to see through the optical illusion of fiat currency.
A reminder: the financial industrial complex wants your Bitcoin in their custody, a loan against it, and your attention focused on gambling with ETFs, $MSTR, $STRC and perpetuals.
Self-custody your Bitcoin.
Run a node.
Have a ten year plan, rather than a ten minute plan.
Do the opposite of what they want you to do.
$DELL
i don't think we will ever have a president who buys a stock and literally tells you after that you should buy it

JUST IN: Fidelity Digital Assets says Bitcoin is "entering an era of scarcity." 👀
They predict public companies may buy another 1 million BTC by 2029 🚀
If you are staying on the sidelines, please continue to wait for the new Fed chair, wait for the Iran situation to resolve, wait for the next catalyst, wait for the AI bubble to pop...
Whatever you do, please don't come back to the market.
I want it to keep going higher.
