The son of the author of The Sovereign Individual is telling the Bitcoin story without ever saying Bitcoin.
Jacob Rees-Mogg just went on camera and basically read from the Bitcoin thesis.
Former Cabinet member.
Old money.
Traditional as they come.
And he's sitting there explaining why UK regulators are PANICKING about crypto ads while the government prints money to infinity.
His diagnosis reads like his father's book came to life.
Technology gives people options.
Governments scramble to close doors.
He's careful with his words, says he's "not advocating crypto coins" at 4:05, but listen to what he's AC TUALLY SAYING.
Every fiat currency in history goes to zero.
The state's only real tax mechanism is dilution.
People with means will find exits.
The establishment keeps pulling the same levers.
Regulate the ads.
Threaten exit taxes.
Make it harder to move capital.
But here's what they miss: the migration ALREADY STARTED.
A quiet, systematic movement toward systems that don't need permission.
What kills me is watching this play out exactly how William Rees-Mogg predicted in 1997.
His son isn't trying to make the case for Bitcoin.
He's just describing reality as he sees it from inside the machine.
Sometimes the most effective orange pills come from people who don't even know they're dispensing them.
We are living in the future his father wrote about.
While regulators write rules for a game that's already changed.
1/ DIGGING THRU Trump's #debanking executive order--it contains some hidden gems!!! The first one is a doozy--shows the @WhiteHouse understands it can't trust the federal banking regulators: It brought in an overseer to keep 'em honest (with good reason!).

Jack Mallers’ appearance on Bloomberg is NO EXAGGERATION one of the sharpest 9-minute Bitcoin segments you’ll find this year.
Here’s what stuck with me:
– Performance in dollars is a distraction. “The only metric that matters: Bitcoin per share.”
– Scarcity isn’t a narrative device. If you want more Bitcoin, you PAY UP.
– Altcoins? Tech stocks at best. Bitcoin is gunning for the world’s $400T store of value market.
– “I’ll never own another asset outside of Bitcoin.” Not diversification but CONVICTION.
– The real use case: You create value, you want to keep it. Bitcoin is the answer.
Mallers doesn’t hype.
He just points at the inevitable.

On this journey, I have also been told that we were organizing something too fancy, too grandiose and large, and that this doesn’t reflect Africa. To those who say that, it seems there exists only one type of Africa in their mind: the one filled with poor people they are coming to “help.”
We don’t talk enough about the poverty porn that has invaded the Bitcoin space, and it needs to be addressed.
People from other parts of the world reach out and inform me they are coming to speak or organize a workshop. I say “inform” because they don’t ask, they don’t think we are even deserving of their asking. They believe they are coming to “teach” Africans.
What they fail to understand is that this is a space for mutual learning and mutual respect. You don’t come to ABC to teach, but to share, to educate, but to learn.
Amidst this craziness, I have also met and worked with some of the most amazing humans through this conference.
I won’t name them individually so as not to forget anyone, but there were people who showed up to help, to bring ideas, to build and to support in various ways. They carried the load even though they didn’t have to.
The kind of friends who come to the party early to help you cook and are the last to leave, helping you clean, I had countless of those and have seen more of those in the Bitcoin community that I have found in other space I have ever evolved in.
And while some people will still whine about little details, always looking for one imperfection to throw shade, to denigrate the work, to bring us down, others look at our imperfections, not just accepting us, but stepping in to help us improve. To those ones, you are the reason why ABC continues to exist, for if it wasn’t for you, I would have given up long ago.
A few days before this year’s ABC, I contacted @marcelorraine and told her I didn’t think it was all worth it, and part of me still believes that. But I do hope that if the load becomes too much for Farida to carry, the community will continue even when Farida is no longer in the picture.
