Bitcoin is money. Everything else is credit.

41 kidnappings of crypto holders in France in 3.5 months of 2026.

Why?

🥖 French tax officials selling crypto owners' data to criminals (Ghalia C.) + massive tax database leaks.

Now the state also wants IDs and private messages of social media users.

More data = More victims.

Bitcoin allows people to own their own money, like cash and gold, without a custodian, and can be used globally.

It enables person-to-person transactions on an “innocent until proven guilty” basis, unlike any money that relies on a custodian.

BTC has a fixed supply that will never change, allowing me to plan decades ahead without a central banker altering the rules or diluting my value.

It also provides a way to capture value from otherwise wasted electricity, a small price to pay for the benefits it offers to anyone.

It’s the most net-positive form of money for society since cash.

Gold was a natural gift.

Bitcoin is an invented gift.

It’s arguably the only real way to exit the financial-industrial complex and boycott the harms that traditional financial products may support.

How is that a net negative?

Here's what most normies will never get, which is why they are still broke normies.

Wealth is MADE in the bear, in the down market, on the decline. It is REALIZED in the bull. If you wait for the bull, you can't ever become wealthy. If you try to escape the bear and buy low, you live in a Disney world that almost never happens.

What you do NOW, in the sharp down moments with Bitcoin, dictates what you and your family will enjoy later. It's your actions when your asset is hated that dictate your future wealth.

But this will fall on death ears for most. They will continue to be pulled into things when they are screaming, and ditch things when they are not, and that is what will guarantee they never rise above their current circumstances. Most poor people will stay poor. It's a hard, cold truth that I wish were different, but it's not.

If you are not part of this pathetic group, BTFD in BTC and keep doing it. This is the best time, this quarter to do it with all your might.

So this and you will thank me in 2028, put a picture of me on your living room wall in 2032, and build a statue of me in your front yard in 2036.

This is the ultimate long game to take out everything. Bitcoin will take out everything, mark my words. And do more.rhan save this post.

Enjoy this 🎁. BTC $73,500.

One year ago today, a prison guard banged on my cell door and said: YOU'RE FREE!!

After more than 11 years under a life sentence, I walked out of max security prison with Leaf Erikson, the plant I was growing in my cell.

Leaf and I are so grateful for our second chance at life.

Stop being fooled by the illusion of wealth.

Big houses, expensive cars, designers, and a fancy lifestyle are not symbols of wealth. It is debt.

Signs of wealth are time, freedom, and health.

I watched @SimonDixonTwitt on What Bitcoin Did, and then I watched it again. “Brilliant” is so cliche but that’s exactly what this is. (Find it on YouTube.)

He could hardly have made it more clear that the protest and the protection is one thing: Bitcoin in self-custody. 🧡

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

4 questions that deserve honest answers:

1. If they can just print money why should I pay taxes?

2. If the debt doesn't matter, why does my 1040 matter?

3. If taxes are civilized, why are they enforced by violence?

4. At what point do paying taxes become tribute payments to maintain a dying empire?

🚨 BIG TECH WAS NEVER THE AMERICAN DREAM - PROFESSOR SAYS IT WAS A MILITARY PSYOP

A professor calls out Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Google, and Facebook, saying the billionaire origin stories don’t add up.

“Really strange. A 19-year-old drops out of Harvard and becomes a billionaire? Yeah… it must be the American Dream.”

Then he laughs. “It’s all just a scam, right?”

His claim:
The core technology behind Big Tech didn’t come from garages - it came from U.S. military research that was made public.

“The internet is U.S. military technology.
Search engines - military technology.
Google - military technology.”

So why give it away?

“If the Pentagon said, ‘Here’s a free computer so we can spy on you,’ nobody would use it.”

But…

“If Mark Zuckerberg says, ‘Hey guys, free Facebook,’ people trust it. He’s just a dork from Harvard, right?”

Same technology.
Different messenger.

His conclusion:
It wasn’t luck.
It wasn’t innovation.
It was strategy.

Do you think Big Tech success is real innovation… or repackaged military infrastructure sold as “free”?

[Oliver L. Velez ⚡️ 1%'er Bitcoiner @olvelez007]

I have a serious question.

In the real estate industry, when a housing market experiences a lot of selling, we call that a "buyer's market."

So why when there is lots of selling of Bitcoin, most people consider that a "seller's market?" 🤔

This is dumb. It's a buyer's market you morons. #BTFD.

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

After 16 years and $1.83 trillion, I finally understand what Bitcoin actually is.

It's not digital gold. It's not a payment system. It's not even money.

Bitcoin is humanity's first institution where legitimacy comes from physics instead of politics.

Here's what that means:

Your bank account exists because a government says it does. They can freeze it. Print more. Change the rules.

Bitcoin exists because thermodynamics says it does. Each block costs $281,700 in electricity. You cannot print energy. You cannot vote to change physics.

To rewrite one day of Bitcoin history costs $40 million in power.
To rewrite one day of banking history costs one phone call.

This is why it won't stop.

Not because of price. Not because of believers. Because of math.

Metcalfe's Law predicts Bitcoin's price with 90% accuracy across 15 years. The same law that governs how epidemics spread and how earthquakes cascade.

Game theory predicts zero successful attacks across 16 years. The same math that keeps nuclear weapons unused and traffic flowing.

Thermodynamics predicts why it costs more to attack than defend. The same physics that makes gold impossible to counterfeit.

Three scientific laws. 16 years of data. $1.83 trillion in validation.

Every other money in history asked: "Do you trust us?"

Bitcoin asks: "Can you do the math?"

For 5,000 years, money meant trusting kings, priests, or central bankers.

For 16 years, money has meant verifying physics.

You don't have to believe in Bitcoin.

You didn't have to believe in the internet either.

TCP/IP hit year 16 in 2005. People still thought it was a fad.

Today you're reading this because of it.

The pattern is simple: Infrastructure that removes the need for trust always wins. Always.

Not today. Not this year.

But eventually.

Because physics is patient.

And physics doesn't negotiate.

“If I put $100 in Bitcoin in 2010 I’d have $2.8B now.”

No.

If you bought $100 of Bitcoin in 2010 and watched it go to:

$1k → $100k → $1.7M

and did nothing

Then watched $1.7M go to $170k

and still did nothing

Then watched $170k go to $110M

and still did nothing

Then watched $110M wither to $18M

and still did nothing

Then watched $18M surge to $390M

and still did nothing

Then watched $390M deteriorate to $85M

Then watched $85M climb to $1.6B

and still did nothing

Then watched $1.6B shrink to $390M
and still did nothing

Then watched $390M surge to $2.8B

and then for some reason finally decided to do something…

Then yes, $100 in 2010 would be worth $2.8B today.

Take your ‘significant amount’ and spread it across a time frame.

If you think the claim has merit, divide the amount you want to invest over 13 months, from November 2025 to December 2026.

Buy once a month regardless of price, because unless you run the exchange or have access to Wall Street insiders, you’ll never know what they plan to do with the short-term price.

They don’t control the long-term price.

I don’t know when ‘the next dip’ is and neither does the person claiming they do.

Not financial advice.

Most people don’t ask questions. But you’re not most people.

If technology is advancing, why are prices going up?

Bitcoin price trend / power law telling an interesting story.

by Dec 31 2025:

Upper bound: around $512,648
Fair-value midline: about $142,782
Lower bound: roughly $50,661

What you’re looking at is one of the most statistically weird and structurally bullish behaviors Bitcoin has ever shown.

Here’s the real translation of what’s happening, in normal-people speak:

It is absolutely not normal for Bitcoin to sit on its fair-value trend line this long.

When Bitcoin hugs the midline, it’s like a pressure cooker sitting at max PSI but nobody’s opened the valve yet.

Every previous time BTC did this, one of two things happened:

It exploded upward because it had been underpriced relative to its long-term power law.

It briefly dipped into the lower-band and then ripped vertically, harder than before.

But just sitting there? For months? Hugging the line like it’s a weighted blanket? Since March 2024?

That’s extremely rare. The all-time high last month didn't even break through the linear regression fit.

Why it matters:

Being glued to the regression line means the entire market is pricing Bitcoin almost perfectly on its long-term exponential trend.

That only happens when adoption is accelerating and volatility is compressing.

Volatility compression in Bitcoin has historically been the prelude to absolute violence.

You’re basically watching coiled-spring energy in slow motion.

Bitcoin is behaving like an asset that’s waiting for one catalyst, one shock, one liquidity rotation to break out and reassert its true slope.

[Billy ₿oone @thebillyboone]

The one habit that turned $90,000 into $470,000:

Buying Bitcoin at the worst possible times.

Not a typo.

The investor who bought only cycle tops wins big.

Think about that psychology.

You buy at $69k.

It crashes to $16k.

You feel stupid.

You get mocked at Thanksgiving.

The media declares Bitcoin dead.

But you hold.

Why?

Because you understand what you own.

You see the vision.

You see the hashpower standard.

You know the volatility is based on mispriced information.

Four years later, you're up 420%.

Success in Bitcoin requires one skill:

doing nothing.

Not trading

Not levering up

Not taking a BTC-backed loan.

Just plain and simple

It is absolutely wild to me that the U.S. is printing money out of thin air and debasing the dollar by ~8% a year and yet 99% of people have literally ZERO idea it’s happening.

[Adam Livingston @AdamBLiv]

People who prefer Zcash over Bitcoin are like the guy in high school who bought “Ray-Bans” from a gas station and sprinted around telling everyone they were polarized lenses that the government couldn’t track.

“Bro it’s private money!”

Yeah man, and my 1997 Pontiac Sunfire was a “luxury German touring sedan” because I put a fake BMW sticker on it.
