Walked by a bunch of restaurants and bars tonight that were slammed w/ppl
They were smiling, drinking, eating, spending money on $19 cocktails
Do they not realize the 30 year treasury yield is now 5.3%???
You start reading weird books.
You buy “The Bitcoin Standard” and then “The Fiat Standard” and then you accidentally end up reading Murray Rothbard, and then somehow you’re reading Mises, and then it’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday and you’re 340 pages into “Human Action” and you’re highlighting passages about praxeology and your wife comes downstairs and asks if you’re coming to bed and you say “in a minute” but you don’t come to bed for two hours because you have just discovered that everything you were taught about economics in college was wrong, all of it, every single sentence, and now you can’t go back, you can never go back, you have been orange-pilled in a way that goes deeper than money, you have been epistemologically orange-pilled, you now believe that John Maynard Keynes was a charlatan and the gold standard was actually fine and the income tax is theft and you can never say any of this out loud at a dinner party ever again.
Crypto invented "degen" as self-deprecating humor. Then it became an identity. Then it became the whole brand.
The shift to "regen" wasn't just new mechanisms — it was a new narrative. GreenPill gave regeneration a name people could wear.
Turns out identity precedes infrastructure. You build what you believe you are.

We are in the looting phase of empire collapse. We’re in a sovereign debt crisis. The US Gov needs to restore faith in a credit based system or transition to a commodity-based system faster than other nations. We need a neutral global reserve asset linked to energy.
Can the system reset peacefully? Someone must lose, but who? West vs East, old vs young, retirees vs bond holders. Capital controls incoming. Anything unprintable moons. BTC is truth in the digital world. Gold is truth in the physical world.
TLDR; open source built a better version of Siri that Apple ($3.6 trillion company) was sleeping on for years.
welcome to the AI era where a dude and a repo fills in the cracks of billions dollar industries.
