Life is a journey, stack sats and enjoy the ride because in the end, Bitcoin wins. Stay humble and take care of yourself, your family and your community.
It’s time we the people send a message. No one, on either side, currently sitting in congress deserves to be re-elected due to the length of the government shutdown. This is unacceptable! #unelectcongress
@WalkerAmerica@LynAldenContact What was the book you mentioned in your podcast with Lyn about the other book that got you back to reading fiction books?
My Bitcoin story is pure luck.
First I luckily worked my ass off to earn a high income.
Then I luckily spent all my free time learning about the history of money and distributed systems.
Then I luckily took all my money and invested it into bitcoin.
Then luckily I convinced my wife to live on 25% of our income while we put the rest into bitcoin.
Then I luckily didn’t go on vacation or buy nice things for years.
Then luckily everyone laughed at me / told me how wrong I was
Then I luckily sold my car and drove a shitty fucking moped to stack more sats.
Then I luckily suffered through multiple 80% drawdowns.
Then I luckily doubled down at the bottoms.
Then I luckily persisted for a decade.
Pure luck all of it.
Thank god I’m lucky.
If I wasn’t I’d be totally fucked.
@Prolotario1 What powered child porn rings, fentanyl cartels and extortion rings before Bitcoin existed? Dollars. So perhaps it’s not the money but the endless printing of money that is the problem. Bitcoin fixes this.
Why is it that America has been involved in nearly EVERY war in the last 100 years, without the approval of its citizens… or even a DESIRE to win them?
Because these aren’t YOUR wars.
They’re banker wars.
And there is only one way to end it.
@Prolotario1 Sir, normally I agree with your takes but on this one I think you’ve got it wrong. You are an intelligent person so I doubt you’ve even read the books in your original post. Otherwise you would understand why I disagree with you here. Study Bitcoin or HFSP.
@GiovanniIncasa@grok I’d advise caution. Anything that sounds too good to be true could very well be. There’s always been an exchange that blows up and loses everyone’s money once people start getting greedy and euphoric. That’s usually when the train stops. Think 3AC or even the Gemini/Galaxy fiasco
Bitcoin isn't real! It's not physical!
Yeah? Neither is the number seven, but I bet you'd notice if your bank balance dropped by seven figures.
Let me break the spell for you: money has never been "real."
Money is a collective hallucination—a social construct we all agree to pretend exists so we don't have to barter chickens for dental work.
Gold wasn't money because it fell from heaven with "LEGAL TENDER" stamped on it.
We picked gold because it was the least-bad physical object that checked the boxes:
- Scarce
- Durable
- Divisible
- Portable
- Verifiable
It was the analog solution to our shared idea.
But here's the thing about analog: it's slow, heavy, and requires armed guards.
And here's the thing about humans: we engineer better tools.
We went from abacus to iPhone. From carrier pigeons to satellites.
From gold bars locked in vaults to Bitcoin—verified by thermodynamics, secured by energy, and transmitted at the speed of light.
Bitcoin is the digital versioin of money. Just like X is the digital version of town hall.
Gold was the best we could do for many centuries.
Bitcoin is what we can do now that we have cryptography, distributed consensus, and proof-of-work anchored in physics.
Your grandpa trusted gold because he could hold it.
You trust Bitcoin because you can verify it.
One required faith in a metal. The other requires faith in math.
Guess which one has never been debased, diluted, or confiscated by executive order?
The concept of money is a human mental construct.
Always has been. Always will be.
The only question is: do you want your construct built on scarcity enforced by governments—or scarcity enforced by code?
Gold was monetary technology for the industrial age. Bitcoin is monetary technology for the information age.
Welcome to the upgrade.
@OwenGregorian Bitcoin fixes this. The world needs to switch to a bitcoin standard and be done with it. Build off of the only open, trustless, decentralized protocol on earth. The world would be a better place if it did.
