I don’t understand who is going to invest in a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. The U.S. is not doing so, and why would the Qataris or any other country in the Middle East that was just attacked by Iran invest one penny to support Iran’s reconstruction?

Most of the damage inflicted on Iran was directed to military targets. Why would anyone want to help Iran rebuild its military capabilities?

Even if the funds were limited to humanitarian-related infrastructure, if there is such a thing, money is fungible, and we know the first freed up dollar will go to rebuild Iran’s ballistic and nuclear capabilities.

What am I missing?

I've been holding back on this, but I'm just gonna let loose...

So many of these "protestors" here in Asheville NC have had their lives DRAMATICALLY improved by President Trump.

Trump's FEMA resolved 80% of ALL open Hurricane Helene cases Biden left sitting 116 days... in 5 DAYS.

Trump's DOT gave nearly $2 BILLION to fix roads and bridges in WNC, which is the largest Emergency Relief allocation in federal highway history.

Trump's DOT reopened I-40 in 5 months. Everyone said it would take years.

Trump's HUD approved $1.4 billion for Helene housing recovery so fast that even Democrat Governor Josh Stein publicly thanked him for it.

Trump's USDA delivered $221 million directly to WNC farmers who lost everything.

Trump gave NC 6 full months of 100% federal cost coverage — one of the longest in FEMA history.

The same people driving on rebuilt roads, drinking clean water, living the comeback... are out here protesting the man who made most of it happen.

JUST GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE!!!

It's not that hard.

He knew you hated him before the storm.

He knew that when he landed in Asheville.

And guess what?

HE SHOWED UP AND HELPED YOU ANYWAYS!!!!!!

And today you grabbed your little sign and costumes, got in your little Subaru, you drove on those rebuilt roads, over those rebuilt bridges, passed rebuilt houses and rebuilt parks, to protest a man who helped your city.

You look stupid, out of touch, and insanely ungrateful.

Elon Musk just identified which jobs go first, and it destroys every assumption about who’s safe.

Musk: “AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning. Anything that is digital, which is like just someone at a computer doing something.”

Not factory workers. Office workers. The people who spent decades assuming education and desk jobs meant security are actually first.

Musk: “Anything that’s physically moving atoms… those jobs will exist for a much longer time.”

Output is a file? Vulnerable. Output is physical? Protected. That’s the entire framework.

Musk: “AI is really still digital.”

AI doesn’t need a body. Doesn’t need an office. Just needs access to the same software you use. Executes faster. Never tires. Costs nothing to scale.

But it can’t weld. Can’t wire a building. Can’t fix pipes or work soil.

Musk: “Literally welding, electrical work, plumbing. Those jobs will exist for a much longer time.”

Trades aren’t the vulnerable jobs. They’re the durable ones. Physical presence, real-world adaptation, manual dexterity provide protection no digital credential offers.

Analyst, accountant, paralegal, programmer, anyone producing files and documents, automates first because digital work is exactly what AI does natively.

Person moving atoms has natural defense. Physics, unpredictable environments, material resistance create friction AI can’t scale past.

Person moving bits has nothing. No friction. No physical barrier. Just software AI already operates better than most humans.

The assumption that desk work and degrees represent safety just inverted completely. College graduate producing documents faces faster displacement than the electrician producing installations.

Society spent generations telling people trades were beneath them. Pushed everyone toward offices and screens. Turns out the people who didn’t listen built the most automation-resistant careers.

Most ironic outcome of the AI revolution. The work society treated as inferior turned out to be the work society couldn’t replace. And the work society valued most turned out to be the easiest to eliminate.

.@MrsErikaKirk just posted this in Instagram and I want everyone possible to see it so I’m posting it here too:

You loved witnessing excellence.
It’s why you loved sports so much. You loved watching the best of the best perform at the level of greatness God intended for them.

When we first started dating, we went to the basketball court to shoot around. I loved seeing you in that element because time was irrelevant. It was just us, the sound of sneakers squeaking and jump shots. We bonded over how Jordan was the GOAT and you told me about your basketball days in high school and I told you about my basketball days in college. Just two athletes escaping the demands of the world for a minute.

I remember seeing on your wrist a red bracelet. You never took it off, it said “work harder, be better.” And everyday you did just that. Years later, one day after an event on campus a student asked you about your bracelet, and you gave it to them. I have no idea who that student was or where they are today, but I have no doubt they’re working harder and being better, because you set the tone.

This is one of the last photos taken of you before you were murdered. I look at it and can’t help but see excellence. You’re in your element. You’re in athlete mode. Training for this exact moment, mind, body, and soul. To me, this is your “Jordan” photo. Permanently etched in time, held in my heart, as I admire your greatness. Forever.

I pray you’ve had the most amazing week in Heaven. I love you.

🧵The Problem With “Never Sell Your Bitcoin”

“Never sell your #Bitcoin"

It’s become something between a rallying cry and a religious commandment.

The phrase is repeated like gospel across Twitter, Reddit, podcasts, and conferences. And on the surface, it’s easy to see why. Bitcoin has been the best-performing asset of the past decade. It represents a rebellion against fiat debasement, a bet on freedom, and for many, a hedge against systemic failure. When you believe you're holding the future of money itself, selling can feel like sacrilege.

But beneath the surface, this meme conceals a dangerous oversimplification.

Because here’s the truth: never selling your Bitcoin is a great ideal – but it’s also a luxury.

And for most people, it’s not a practical life strategy.

The Privilege of “Never Sell”

Let’s start with the obvious: “never sell” is much easier to say when you don’t need the money.

If you’re already wealthy, or even just financially stable with strong cash flow, you can afford to lock your Bitcoin in cold storage and never touch it. You can weather volatility, ignore market cycles, and treat your BTC as an inheritance plan. For you, Bitcoin is a vault. A time capsule. A multi-generational asset.

And if you’re really wealthy, there’s an entire playbook designed for you – it’s called Buy, Borrow, Die. You buy assets like Bitcoin, borrow against them to access liquidity without triggering capital gains, and pass them on tax-advantaged when you die. It’s a brilliant strategy. It’s also a reminder: even the “never sell” crowd is still accessing value – they’re just using debt as the wrapper.

But most people aren’t in that position. Most people are working jobs, raising families, paying off debt, and trying to build a future. And for those people, Bitcoin often represents not just a long-term belief – but a potential escape hatch. It gives them hope that a few well-timed trades or a couple of bull runs might finally buy them freedom.

To tell those people “never sell” is like telling someone stuck in a burning building not to use the fire escape because the steel might be worth more in the future. It’s a seductive idea – but sometimes, the exit is the point.

Spending Bitcoin Is Part of the Mission

Here’s something that often gets ignored in these ideological conversations: if you truly believe Bitcoin is money, then at some point, you have to spend it.

You can’t argue that Bitcoin will replace fiat – and simultaneously treat every transaction as betrayal. That’s not how money works.

Currency must move. Economic systems require velocity. You don’t build a new economy by locking your assets away forever. You build it by using them. Transacting. Circulating. Choosing Bitcoin when you could have chosen dollars.

In other words, spending is not failure – it’s function.

Satoshi didn’t invent Bitcoin so we could all sit on it forever. He spent it. Laszlo famously spent 10,000 BTC on pizza. Early adopters used it to buy domain names, electronics, t-shirts, even flights. They literally gave it away to facilitate adoption. Were those good trades in hindsight? Maybe not financially. But they were critical in proving that Bitcoin was more than just an idea – it was money.

You don’t create a circular economy by hoarding. You create it by trusting the system enough to use it.

The Highest ROI Isn’t Always Financial

Let’s go even deeper.

What is the point of wealth? What is the purpose of investing in the first place?

It’s not to die with the largest stack. It’s to enhance your life. To provide freedom, fulfillment, opportunity, and time.

And those things – those currencies – are often worth far more when you’re young and healthy than when you’re old and rich.

If selling Bitcoin now allows you to do something that meaningfully improves your life – to start a business, take a once-in-a-lifetime trip, escape a soul-crushing job, move your family somewhere better – then what exactly are you waiting for? A few more basis points on your net worth?

Let’s be real: happiness has a half-life.

The value of adventure, connection, and freedom doesn’t rise over time. It often fades. Your body changes. Your kids grow up. Opportunities vanish. The dream trip you want to take at 35 won’t hit the same at 65. The company you want to build now may be impossible when life gets more complicated later.

The “return” on those moments is exponential – because they shape who you are, how you live, and what you remember.

Bitcoin can fund those moments. And that’s a good thing. It has given you the opportunity to live the life of your dreams and to do it now.

There’s a Difference Between Selling and Surrendering

To be clear, this isn’t an argument for panic selling or abandoning conviction. I’m not saying you should sell your entire stack every time you want to buy a car.

What I’m saying is that intentionality matters.

There’s a massive difference between selling out of fear – and selling to fund your freedom. One is reactive. The other is strategic.

Too many people in this space confuse conviction with rigidity. But true conviction allows for nuance. It allows you to use your assets to build your life, not just your Ledger balance.

Sell responsibly. Rebalance when it makes sense. Take profits when they materially change your circumstances. Build, live, and then – yes – buy back in if and when it aligns with your values and your goals.

Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere. But your youth is.

A Healthier Bitcoin Philosophy

So let’s rewrite the meme.

“Never sell your Bitcoin” becomes: “Don’t sell your Bitcoin lightly – but don’t be afraid to use it to build the life you want.”

Yes, be a long-term thinker. Yes, have conviction. Yes, protect your wealth from inflation and debasement.

But also: say yes to the business idea. Say yes to the move. Say yes to the adventure. Say yes to the opportunity to spend more time with your kids.

Bitcoin is freedom tech. Use it to be free.

Because the true flex isn’t never selling.

The true flex is having built a life so rich in meaning that selling a little Bitcoin was absolutely worth it.

It will forever boggle my mind that there exists an organisation that can kidnap 1 and 3 year old babies, kill them, parade their coffins on stage to cheering crowds of civilians, and still be considered the victims by morons in the west.
