Exploring the future of money & tech. Thinking out loud.

[Gia Macool @GiaMMacool]

Social media was one of the biggest scams ever sold.

A perfectly happy woman can scroll Instagram and suddenly convince herself she’s living the wrong life.

She sees influencers traveling the world, wearing designer clothes, carrying $10,000 handbags and stepping onto private jets.

Suddenly her stable marriage feels boring.
Her husband feels “cheap.”

Her normal life feels like she settled.

Then she starts picking apart everything he does.

“He doesn’t take me anywhere.”

“He doesn’t spoil me.”

“He’s not ambitious enough.”

“He’s not like those men.”

Eventually, she starts wondering if she married the wrong man.

But here’s what she forgets:

She’s comparing her real life to someone else’s carefully manufactured highlight reel.

The vacations are curated.

The relationships are curated.

The bodies are edited.

The homes are staged.

The lifestyles are sponsored by men who rent these “influencers” aka escorts strategically presented for attention.

You are not watching reality.

You are watching a performance designed to keep you watching.

And comparison is the business model.

Because a woman who is content with what she has is harder to sell to.

But make her feel inadequate?

Now she needs the new handbag.

The new body.

The new vacation.

The new house.

The new lifestyle.

And eventually, maybe even a new husband.

They don't need to convince you that your life is terrible.

They only need to convince you that someone else’s life is better.

Then you’ll do the rest.

You’ll create the dissatisfaction yourself.

The algorithm profits from your insecurity, your comparison and your constant need for validation from strangers.

Stop comparing your real marriage to someone else's curated feed.

Be grateful for what you’ve built.

And before you let strangers on the internet convince you that your husband isn't enough, remember who actually lives that life with you.

If you attempt to escape slavery, you may die.

If you live as a slave, you will be safe, but you will have a life not worth living.

Quiet people are not antisocial. They’re pattern recognizers.

I own #Bitcoin because there is no Bitcoin CEO like there is no Gold CEO.

Your future doctors are using ChatGPT to pass their exams. You better start eating healthy.

People excited about football and have no idea what fractional reserve banking is.

- Slaves knew they were slaves
- That was the design flaw

Ray Dalio just said the quiet part out loud.

"If you devalue the money, it makes everything appear to be going up."

The stock market boom is a lie…

What we're really witnessing is the death of the Dollar, not the growth of the economy.

99% of people have absolutely no idea.

Did you know that on April 5, 1933, President Roosevelt signed an executive order restricting private ownership of gold in America?

We went from letters to instant messages, horses to airplanes, and libraries to the internet. Money’s technological leap is happening now.

I hope you all used the bad times to build a bigger Bitcoin position.

I’ve seen this story play out so many times over the last 15 years.

The bad times are when the biggest opportunities are built.

Vision board:

1. Strong bipartisan vote on CLARITY Sep 15th
2. Uptober
3. Next crypto bull run begins

Just as the prophecy foretold

[NotFinancialAdvice.Crypto @NFAdotcrypto]

If you were going to create a new world currency system, you’d need to do so in the open so the world’s citizens could be aware of it and have the opportunity to invest in it.

Otherwise they’d never accept it.

With so much runway… so much time they could’ve spent learning and investing… it becomes their own fault for not owning it when it finally happens.

Leaving only themselves to blame. ♟️

If housing prices had simply followed income growth since 1970, the average home today would be $138,000.

So… what actually broke?

[Lark Davis @LarkDavis]

Your grandfather bought land.
Your father bought a house.

You have the chance to buy digital assets before the rest of the world figures it out.

Every generation gets one window.

This one is yours.

@brian_armstrong Why do all rich people hate humanity so much.
