The $MSTR mission creep I always said would come.
Even though Strategy doesn’t need the money, it is conditioning investors to believe that selling Bitcoin to fund dividends and yield is a normal part of the new Strategy playbook.
The result is a structure that normalizes Bitcoin distribution back into the market whenever cash flow is needed to support dividends and yield.
In effect, they’re building the infrastructure for short-term Bitcoin price management while training investors to view it as prudent capital allocation.
A gift to the Financial Industrial Complex.
Bitcoin was designed to separate money from the financial system.
The FIC wants Bitcoin integrated into the same system of custodians, leverage, yield products, and paper claims that dominate traditional finance.
Strategy accelerates that transition by making Bitcoin sales, dividend policies, and yield engineering part of the accepted model.
It is what it is.
Bitcoin can be used by anybody.
But Bitcoin in self-custody is the resistance.
In the long run, the FIC doesn’t want you to own Bitcoin. It wants to custody your Bitcoin, tokenize your Bitcoin, lend your Bitcoin, and issue paper claims against your Bitcoin.
The goal is simple: keep you a paper-Bitcoin slave while they accumulate the real asset instead of you.
Not your keys.
Not your Bitcoin.
Listen here retard. You have no clue who you're fucking with
Why not post your PNLs with your calls?
I actually shorted the pico tops.
Your analysis is so bad(because you don't even follow your own advice)
I'm going to expose your shitty ability to analyze over the next 24hours
Also why don't you have your comments open(because it would break your echo chamber you developed with your community

🎙️ How To Opt Out of the Digital Prison
Ep. 137 on @takebackourtech
Hakeem Anwar is a software engineer with over 20 years in tech, and the founder and CEO of @abovephone , a conscious technology company building open source phones, laptops, and software services that free people from reliance on Big Tech. After years of building web and mobile apps for large corporations, he walked away from corporate life during Covid. He also runs Take Back Our Tech, a weekly show covering the biggest stories in tech - always with solutions. Hakeem has done extensive research into the global digital ID rollout, co-authoring the "Life Under Digital ID" report, which maps how 90% of countries already have operational digital ID or will within three years. In this conversation, we discuss global standards enabling biometric interoperability across borders, why "voluntary" always becomes mandatory, and Hakeem demonstrates the Above Phone on screen, making the case for why the window to migrate to open protocols is closing faster than most people realize.

Once you see it you can't unsee it.
Government is corrupted — because of the money printer.
Prices are too high — because of the money printer.
Healthcare is terrible — because of the money printer.
Our food is poison — because of the money printer.
Our kids aren't taught well — because of the money printer.
Our jobs don't pay enough — because of the money printer.
They tax us to death — because of the money printer.
Love isn't what it used to be — because of the money printer.
Fix the money. Fix the world.
Opt out
The natural state of the economy is deflationary (thanks Jeff Booth)…
…in that we get better, faster and more efficient at making stuff.
So why do things get more expensive? The truth is they don’t.
The money gets weaker but your wages don’t keep up, so you’re getting structurally poorer because the system is based on debt and monetary expansion.
Own assets. Buy Bitcoin. Or get poorer. Don’t shoot the messenger.
I found the best way to bankrupt the government.
It comes from a Russian quantum physicist.
---
In 2004, a man named Vadim Zeland wrote a book titled, "Reality Transurfing."
In the book, he introduces a concept called “pendulums” that explains why fighting the government never works.
The government's operation is absurd.
-$39 trillion in debt
-Funding wars you never voted for
-Printing money whenever they want
-Endlessly taxing you in every direction
-Selling new bonds to pay off old bonds
-Politicians retiring as multimillionaires on $174,000 salaries
But here’s the thing…
Accountability won’t come from the system. That’s why Zeland’s concept of “pendulums” is so important.
A pendulum is anything that lives off your attention and emotion (energy-in-motion).
Religions, political movements, businesses, group chats, diet trends… these are all pendulums that feed on attention and energy.
If the world collectively withdrew its energy from Buddhism, Buddhism would dissolve.
If America collectively withdrew its energy from the Democratic or Republican party, it would dissolve.
It’s like food to a person. If you stop giving it food, it will die.
Your government is a pendulum, but… there's a key point to understand.
The government feeds on your attention and your energy. But that is not its primary food source.
Its primary food source is fiat money. The money they print, control, and force you to use.
They have an unlimited supply of it. They can tax it however they want. They get to enforce the rules around it. Their money endlessly feeds them, by design.
That’s why you can vote whoever you want into office, but nothing will change — because the money hasn’t changed. Their primary source of fuel hasn’t changed.
The pendulum stays alive as long as their money stays alive.
That’s the key thing to understand. The money is the target.
If you actually want to end the government’s fraud, you have to stop using their money. You have to withdraw your energy from their system. You have to starve them.
You do that by starving the source of their food. If they can’t eat, they will die. If they don’t have their money, they will die.
If the government didn’t have an infinite source of money that they control at will, they could never rack up $39 trillion in debt. But because they *do* have an infinite source of money that they control at will, they have an endless source of food.
That’s the target.
It was never the politicians. It was always the money.
So how do you actually starve the pendulum?
Zeland gives us the answer — he calls it “extinguishing the pendulum.”
Every pendulum has a script it expects you to follow. The script is designed to provoke a reaction out of you, to get you to swing your energy toward the pendulum.
It wants to hook you like a fish.
For example, think of a hostile comment you receive online. That comment is a pendulum. It wants your energy.
When you defend yourself, think about a clever reply, escalate, hurl an insult back — you feed it.
The pendulum doesn’t care if you agree or disagree. It just wants your energy.
Complaining about the government only feeds the pendulum of the government. It’s exactly what the government wants. It wants you to bite. It wants to keep you in its frequency. It wants to keep you in its game.
So how do you actually win?
You don’t.
You leave the game.
Extinguishing the pendulum means breaking the script.
You break the script by offering an abnormal response.
When a pendulum tries to provoke you, you do something completely off-script, something that doesn’t fit the game it’s trying to play.
You shift to a different frequency and play a different game.
Suddenly, the pendulum has nothing to grab onto.
The best way to bankrupt the government is simple:
You stop using their money.
The government’s entire script is dependent on you using their money.
Their monetary system is designed to feed them energy.
When you work for their money, they tax it.
When you spend their money, they tax it.
When you hold their money, they quietly steal it through inflation.
Here’s the devastating part.
To function in modern life, you need money — and the fiat monetary system is designed as a monopoly.
They create legal tender laws which mandate the use of their money — and their money only — for taxes and debts.
If you don’t pay your taxes in their money, you get fined, your assets get seized, or you get sent to jail.
They coerce you into their pendulum under the threat of violence.
It’s the trap inside the trap. It’s not just that they feed on fiat money. It’s that they’ve made it illegal to not use fiat money.
For as long as fiat governments have existed, there was no true off-script move.
You could complain. You could vote. You could move countries, only to find another version of the same system awaiting you.
You were always left inside their monetary system. You were always hooked to their pendulum.
The only real exit was leaving the grid entirely. You would have to stop using money, close your bank accounts, and disengage from modern life altogether.
People’s yearning to live “off-grid” is simply a desire to escape the fiat pendulum.
But they made it inescapable.
Until 2009.

Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin to be the off-script move.
The abnormal response.
The different game.
Bitcoin was designed to extinguish the pendulum of fiat.
Previously, it could never be done, because there was never a different frequency to shift to, other than going completely off-grid.
Bitcoin is, for the first time, the truly different frequency of money that you can shift to.
It doesn’t argue with fiat.
It doesn’t demand accountability.
It doesn’t run for office.
It doesn’t ask for permission.
It doesn’t try to reform the Fed, or audit gold, or pass legislation.
It doesn’t even acknowledge fiat as a worthy opponent.
It simply exists as a completely different frequency, governed by a completely different set of rules:
1. The protocol is neutral — it has no political ties.
2. The system is transparent — you can verify the rules for yourself.
3. The supply is fixed — it cannot be inflated.
4. The network is permissionless — you don't need permission from banks and governments to use it.
5. The protocol is decentralized — there is no central party manipulating the system.
6. The supply issuance is based on math — not what a group of elites thinks is best.
Every single one of those traits is the dead opposite of fiat.
Bitcoin swings the pendulum of money in the opposite direction — and that’s exactly what’s required to extinguish fiat.
No matter who you’ve voted for, the government hasn’t changed.
The system remains the same, because the money remains the same.
The off-script move isn’t to vote with your ballot. That’s the script fiat wants you to follow.
The off-script move is to vote with your money.
The off-script move is to stop using their money and shift to a different game.
That’s how you stop feeding the government.
That’s how you starve the pendulum.
The best part?
Zeland notes that when you extinguish a pendulum, its energy doesn’t disappear.
It returns to you.
Every dollar you hold in fiat is energy you’ve been losing your whole life — to inflation, to taxes, to a government with trillions in debt.
When you shift to Bitcoin, all of that energy comes back to you.
What previously went to the government and all their closest friends now flows to you.
That difference in energy is the pendulum being extinguished in real-time.
It’s the power shifting from the top of the system to you.
You don’t have to protest.
You don’t have to wait for an election.
You don’t have to vote anybody into office.
You can stop feeding their system, right now.
Bitcoin exists, right now. The network is open. For anybody, at any time.
All you have to do is shift.
That’s how it ends.
As I’ve always said, going back to when I applied for a full-reserve banking license nearly two decades ago:
The biggest threat to fractional reserve banking is full-reserve banking.
They’ll never allow that easy transition, as it breaks the banking model, and the banking lobby owns the government.
Satoshi came up with a better idea:
Allow everyone to exit into self-custody, with no central bank monetary policy plug-in.
Then let them transact peer to peer.
Yield is a trap.
It’s a gateway drug to a debt based Ponzi scheme prison called fractional reserve banking, where you are the product.
If you think supporting centralizing Bitcoin beats reinforcing decentralization, self-custody, self-mining, and running your own node, then I’ll keep doing what I’ve always done.
Tune out if you like.
Go support the crowd packaging Bitcoin for Wall Street.
Keep turning people into Bitcoin-backed, collateralized debt products.
I’ll stick to what built this space in the first place.
You can back the banks, just don’t pretend you’re not.
Don’t shoot the messenger.
It’s nothing personal.
Its architecture.
I know I already posted about this
But I legitimately think this is the most bearish crypto conference of all time
People have lost the plot what bitcoin is about. Feds bro?
Crypto was anti gov and they spinned it into "pro gov" in hopes they "pump your bags"
I dunno we might look back in a few years and mark this as a turning point
There are plenty of safer, high-yielding, and stable instruments available for those seeking that kind of exposure. I wouldn’t recommend placing lifelong retirement funds into a high-risk, perpetually dilution-dependent, fiat-denominated, variable, non-guaranteed, sentiment-driven equity instrument that becomes increasingly difficult to sustain at scale due to its underlying funding mechanism.
Alternatively, one could consider buying Bitcoin. Crazy right?...particularly if willing to wait for BTC-denominated yield products backed by real economic activity and cash flow to emerge.
There is probably no bigger crime against humanity than the destruction of the United Kingdom.
England in the 90s, where I grew up, was actual paradise.
The pub gardens, the white people, oasis with fish and chips.
There were full bars and clubs 7 nights a week in every single town let alone city.
Always something to do. Even if you were poor, go out with a tenner and have the best time.
10,000 pound night today is 1% of what a 10-pound night was back then.
Neighborly people.
Safe streets. Even the council estates were safe.
You had to live it to understand it.
Everything’s been destroyed.
Anyone else scroll through X and see all the political discourse and instantly recognise that the solution to most of these problems is the return to sound money?
Housing, cost of living, migration, corruption, wars, whatever it is you name it.
All of it is caused or exacerbated by the ability of Governments to print money at will.
Endless discussion on everything but the root cause.
I wish the normies would get it.
Fix the money, fix the world.

I speak from experience, no matter how boring it may sound.
You will come to see that Saylor helped the financial-industrial complex create a tool to manipulate many out of their Bitcoin held in self-custody.
It’s not popular.
But I don’t care about popularity.
I care about accuracy and sovereignty from the financial-industrial complex.
I don’t care if that bores you.
I care that it helps those who are willing to listen.
