Exclusive: American Nathan Martin, a 36-year-old high school cross county coach from Jackson, Michigan, is the personification of never giving up.
He won the 2026 Los Angeles Marathon in 2:11:16.50, capturing the title in the final stride of the 26.2 mile race Sunday.
With a week to reflect, I’m convinced this was the greatest moment in sports history.
A 2-star recruit leads the worst program ever to a national championship, beats his hometown team that wouldn’t let him walk on, and finishes it by running over the same guy who knocked him out the year before, with his mother battling MS watching from the stands.
If it was a Disney movie, you’d say it was too much.
“A fixed Bitcoin cap will cause a deflation spiral, which is bad for the economy!”
Oh please.
Deflation is bad for debt-soaked fiat regimes that need infinite money printing to avoid collapse.
Let me translate what they’re actually saying:
“If money gets more valuable over time, people might save instead of spending every paycheck on garbage they don’t need to keep zombie corporations on life support.”
The horror.
Here’s what they won’t tell you:
Fiat runs on debt. All of it.
• Governments borrow
• Corporations borrow
• You borrow
The whole thing is a Jenga tower of IOUs that only works if tomorrow’s dollar is worth less than today’s.
Inflation is the grease that keeps the machine running. You repay loans with cheaper money. Debt gets easier to service.
That’s theft with extra steps.
Now flip it. What happens when money actually appreciates?
• Debt becomes a death sentence
• Governments can’t print their way out
• Corporations can’t roll garbage debt forever
The Ponzi collapses. That’s why they fear deflation. Not because it hurts you. Because it kills them.
Now let’s talk Bitcoin.
Bitcoin doesn’t run on debt.
It doesn’t need infinite expansion.
It doesn’t require you trapped in loans to function.
Bitcoin rewards saving.
Bitcoin rewards production.
Bitcoin rewards long-term thinking.
In a Bitcoin system, money appreciates because supply is fixed and demand grows.
Every sat saved today buys more tomorrow, not less.
What does that create?
Discipline.
• People stop financing junk
• Companies stop leveraging themselves into oblivion
• Governments can’t fund endless wars on a credit card
“But won’t people hoard and never spend?”
No. People still spend. They just spend wisely.
On things that actually matter, not impulse garbage financed at 29 percent APR.
Deflation destroys fiat systems because they’re designed to punish savers and reward debtors.
Deflation in Bitcoin is natural, healthy, and inevitable. It rewards people who create real value and store it across time.
Imagine a world where your paycheck buys you more every year, not less. A world where the cost of groceries, homes, and healthcare falls—or at least stays the same—over time.
Opt out.
