I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a lie.
We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.
The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is officially dead.
The same administration that said it would bring transparency to the federal government has concealed every major truth the public has demanded.
There is no public Epstein list. There are no arrests. There is no Fort Knox audit. There is no peace in Ukraine. There are not mass deportations. There is no accountability for the alphabet agencies. There is no reversal of COVID-era policies. There is no DOGE check. There is no pause on foreign aid. There is no JFK Files or 9/11 Report.
There is only a further centralization of power, more debt and nonstop lies.
The belief that the federal government will one day build a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve requires a complete detachment from reality. It assumes that an institution which has failed to take a single meaningful action on any significant promise will suddenly pivot and voluntarily acquire an asset that removes its own monetary privilege. That fantasy has no precedent in history nor any support in policy.
The people promoting this idea ignore the most basic premise of power: it never dismantles itself.
The dollar system is not a neutral accounting tool. It is the engine of control, and its value depends on the ability to inflate liabilities and externalize consequences. If you believe this government will voluntarily exchange the instrument of its dominance for an asset it cannot counterfeit, freeze, or redirect, then you are not thinking in terms of statecraft, you're indulging in fantasy.
Worse still, the same government being hailed as a future Bitcoin accumulator cannot even maintain custody over the coins it seizes. A Treasury report (I wrote about last week) has confirmed that the IRS has lost private keys, allowed asset tampering and failed to maintain basic records. This is the level of competence that now wants to manage a trillion-dollar Bitcoin reserve?
The dollar isn't just a medium of exchange, it's the mechanism through which the state expands, exerts, and enforces its control. It funds the war machine. It props up the debt economy. It keeps foreign allies dependent and domestic unrest manageable. Believing the government will abandon this tool by choice reflects a deep misunderstanding of political incentives. The system is designed to perpetuate itself, not to restrain itself.
There is no movement toward a Bitcoin reserve. There is no intention to acquire a fixed-supply asset in good faith. There are only empty speeches, vague references, and opportunistic pandering from Washington politicians who have never once taken real action to challenge the system they claim to oppose.
The problem is that this myth isn't harmless. It pacifies, delays action, keeps people waiting for an institutional savior that will never arrive. The Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is pure political performance.
It's Schrödinger’s reserve: both real and unreal (depending on who’s speaking and who’s listening). But once observed closely, it collapses into the only thing it has ever been: fiction.
At this point, it's painfully clear that anyone who continues pushing the preposterous notion of the federal government buying Bitcoin for an SBR is a politician and/or a bad actor.
