I love that this THIS is how you change the world. “With a peanut so cute you could just pinch it’s cheeks.” Go to 25:03 https://t.co/Y10lQxo0Rs @jackmallers
You can’t explain Bitcoin to someone who doesn’t understand money in the first place.
No awareness of the problem = zero appreciation for the solution.
That’s why most people dismiss bitcoin.
Few people realize how profound of an invention #Bitcoin is. It is on the same level as fire, the wheel, or the number zero. Let me try to say it in few words:
Stealing (taxation, inflation, etc) rewards people who cause problems at the expense of people who solve problems.
Since it is hard to seize (tax) and impossible to print (inflate), Bitcoin rewards those who solve problems and inhibits people from causing problems. Since people tend to do whatever is most profitable, over time Bitcoin reorganizes the world to have more cooperative problem-solvers and less coercive problem-causers.
As a wise man once said: “no man is better than his incentives.” As an incentive system which makes cooperation disproportionately more profitable than coercion, Bitcoin makes us better men.
The profound impact of Bitcoin could take centuries to play out, as did previous profound innovations like the number zero. But change requires action. Thus, it is incumbent upon each of us to “be the change” we wish to see in the world.
As a wise man once said: “if there be trouble, let it be in my day, so that my children may know peace.”
Godspeed brothers and sisters, and good luck Being The Change (BTC) you wish to see in the world. Indeed, your deeds are the only things that can change the world.
Stay strong. Stay smart. And stay stacking.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Four-star military officer Admiral Samuel Paparo confirms the USA is running a Bitcoin node.
"We have a node on the Bitcoin network right now. We're doing a number of operational tests to secure and protect networks using the Bitcoin protocol."
It was the wildest experience to listen (in the room) as the heads of our military explained to Senators why Bitcoin’s proof-of-work is of national security interest.
Thank you @JasonPLowery for all your research which led to this moment.
Today Bitcoin was recognized as a strategic tool on the world stage, confirmed by the U.S.’s most senior commander responsible for our posture against China.
This is the result of years of policy work and educational initiatives. I’m beyond proud of the BPI team and the years of effort that it took to get us to this point.
🚨 "People recognize [bitcoin] is the CIA. I want to know where the databases are, where the servers are, physically.” - Prof Jiang
This is the opinion of so many midwits. It's also the reason even some gold bugs cannot comprehend bitcoin to this day, and why midwits believe in centralized scam sh*tcoins.
They don't understand decentralization.
ALL OF THIS IS TRUE…
“Keep your eye on how much the Government is spending because that is the true tax…as
there IS NO SUCH THING as an unbalanced budget. You PAY FOR IT either in the form of taxes…or indirectly in the form of inflation or debt…” -Milton Friedman
🇮🇷 Iran is charging $2M per ship to cross the Strait of Hormuz and they want it in Bitcoin. 😳
At $72,000 per $BTC, each ship = 27.7 BTC.
Pre-crisis, 130 ships crossed daily.
• Daily: 3,611 BTC
• Monthly: 108,333 BTC
• Yearly: 1.3 million BTC
The entire Bitcoin network only mines 450 BTC per day.
Iran would accumulate 8x the monthly mining supply. Every month.
A sanctioned nation building a Bitcoin treasury through a toll booth.
This is the most important geopolitical Bitcoin story nobody is talking about. 🔥
"Is Bitcoin actually competing to be the future world reserve currency?"
Yes.
When you need money that nobody can debase, that is free to hold and receive, that is cheap to transfer, that is censorship-resistant, and that even enemies can settle in... there is no second best.
It only took a few years to go from “governments are going to ban bitcoin!” to “bitcoin is an essential part of a ceasefire between nations engaged in kinetic combat.”
Bitcoin is quite literally empowering peace.
Ultimately the world will recognize what bitcoiners have known for a long time.
The world needs a digital, decentralized, non-sovereign, neutral asset to conduct global trade between countries that don’t trust each other.
Just a matter of time.
Email had roughly 1% global adoption in 1992.
Critics called it a toy for academics. Fax machines work fine.
Email is too technical.
Email is too slow.
Bitcoin has 1.3% global adoption today.
Same argument.
Same critics.
I wonder how the fax machine industry is doing.
🚨 READ THIS CAREFULLY
Bitcoin has just entered the relief phase of the bear market.
2022 structure is repeating perfectly:
54% drop from ATH → complete
Relief rally → now
Final capitulation → next
This is where the trap is.
Most traders think the bottom is in during this phase.
It isn’t.
The part almost nobody understands:
Timing.
Days from cycle top → final bottom:
2012: 405 days
2016: 362 days
2020: 376 days
Based on historical timing, the highest-probability window for the real bottom is:
July–November 2026.
That matters more than any price level people are watching.
Most traders think like this:
“I’ll buy at X.”
But real bottoms don’t form where it feels obvious.
They form where people give up.
And before that happens:
There has to be pain.
- Forced selling (happening).
- Liquidations (in progress).
- Panic (almost there).
- Sentiment collapse (soon).
When people stop buying dips… Narratives break… Everyone turns bearish…
That’s when bottoms form.
We’re not there yet.
Yes, I started accumulating in the $60k range already.
Even though the timing window isn’t here yet.
Back in October, around $120k,
I said I’d be a strong buyer near $60k.
People laughed.
“BTC will never go below $100k again.”
Now we’re here.
Remember, I was the only one publicly calling the exact bottom at $16,000 three years ago and the top at $126,000 in October.
If you missed those calls, don’t worry. I’ll call the next one too.
Turn notifications on. If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.
They didn't teach you about money in school.
Not because it's complicated.
Because a woman who understands money is a lot harder to keep dependent.
I spent 23 years doing everything right — saving, working hard, trusting the system.
Then I discovered Bitcoin. And realized the system was never designed for my freedom.
It was designed for my compliance.
Putting my ego aside, studying for years, and learning bitcoin was one of the most radical act of self love I'd ever committed.
What’s yours?
“BTC uses too much energy.”
There’s only 3 ways to secure a monetary ledger.
- with atoms (gold)
- with energy (BTC)
- with social / political consensus (fiat)
Energy is the only path to unbreakable hard money. There’s no scarcity of atoms.
So let me get this straight, I go to the grocery store and buy … a pound of sliced turkey in a plastic bag, a loaf of bread in a plastic bag, a gallon of milk in a plastic jug, a pack of napkins in plastic wrap, a store-made salad in a plastic tub, a plastic bottle of mustard and ketchup, but they won't give me a plastic bag to carry it home because the plastic bag is bad for the environment? 🙄😂
Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment is one of the most underappreciated mechanisms in all of finance.
Every 2,016 blocks, the protocol recalibrates how hard it is to mine the next block.
More miners join, difficulty rises. Miners leave, difficulty falls.
The result: blocks keep arriving roughly every 10 minutes regardless of how much computing power enters or exits the network.
This chart shows what 17 years of that mechanism looks like.
A relentless climb in security.
No central planner.
No committee.
Just math responding to market incentives in real time.
The more valuable Bitcoin becomes, the more energy miners commit to securing it.
The more energy they commit, the harder it becomes to attack.
That feedback loop has been running uninterrupted since January 2009.
If you really want to understand why the financial system will always extract upwards, you must watch my pod with @LynAldenContact.
There is no escaping the mechanics of the economic system. Endless debt. Endless inflation.

You don't compete with Bitcoin by building 'Bitcoin but faster.' You harness its foundational strength and innovate on top of it. Just like the internet, Bitcoin is a protocol to build upon, not replace. It's the TCP/IP of money. 🌐 #Bitcoin#Innovation
people ask me why i'm so focused on the monetary system
this is why. since 1976, the top 0.01% saw their wealth grow 2,242%.
this isn't capitalism.
this is broken money.
