Estive hoje no supermercado e comprei alguns itens, totalizando R$ 207,47.
Me foi cobrado R$ 37,67.
Quase 20% do valor em impostos.
Entenda uma coisa:
No Brasil, as indústrias pagam impostos quando adquirem os insumos para produzirem o produto final.
O supermercado onde estes produtos são disponibilizados para o consumidor final também paga impostos.
Você paga impostos ao adquirir cada item no supermercado.
O Estado te cobra impostos sobre a tua renda e cobra do teu patrão impostos para a empresa dele existir e também porque te contratou. Você e o teu patrão pagam impostos apenas porque você foi contratado.
O Estado te cobra impostos sobre o veículo que você já pagou e sobre o combustível que você usa para abastecer o teu carro.
O Estado cobra impostos pela energia elétrica, pela água que você consome, pela linha telefônica e pela internet utilizada por você.
O Estado cobra impostos para você ter um teto onde morar, para você se vestir, se você adoecer, na hora em que você come, bebe...
O Estado brasileiro é um sanguessuga que esfola cada cidadão, independente de classe social. É ele quem te impede de progredir, é ele quem atrasa a tua vida e te impossibilita de sair do aluguel para a casa própria.
O Estado brasileiro, que deveria existir apenas para atender as necessidades do cidadão, te trata como criminoso e como se você fosse submisso a ele e não o contrário.
O inimigo não é o teu patrão, o inimigo não é o rico, o inimigo não é o vizinho branco hetero, o inimigo não é a Igreja, o inimigo não é quem pensa diferente de você.
O inimigo é o Estado que fomenta ódio e rancor entre todos para que a sociedade não tenha tempo de enxergar que ele é predador.
O Brasil precisa de uma revolução que não é socialista, mas de diminuição da máquina pública para que o povo tenha o controle sobre o Estado e possa reverter cada imposto em saúde, educação e segurança. Para que o povo viva bem, durma bem e coma bem.
O povo brasileiro não suporta mais o peso do Estado parasita em suas costas.
E está cada dia mais difícil pagar imposto apenas por existir.
Bitcoin isn't real! It's not physical!
Yeah? Neither is the number seven, but I bet you'd notice if your bank balance dropped by seven figures.
Let me break the spell for you: money has never been "real."
Money is a collective hallucination—a social construct we all agree to pretend exists so we don't have to barter chickens for dental work.
Gold wasn't money because it fell from heaven with "LEGAL TENDER" stamped on it.
We picked gold because it was the least-bad physical object that checked the boxes:
- Scarce
- Durable
- Divisible
- Portable
- Verifiable
It was the analog solution to our shared idea.
But here's the thing about analog: it's slow, heavy, and requires armed guards.
And here's the thing about humans: we engineer better tools.
We went from abacus to iPhone. From carrier pigeons to satellites.
From gold bars locked in vaults to Bitcoin—verified by thermodynamics, secured by energy, and transmitted at the speed of light.
Bitcoin is the digital versioin of money. Just like X is the digital version of town hall.
Gold was the best we could do for many centuries.
Bitcoin is what we can do now that we have cryptography, distributed consensus, and proof-of-work anchored in physics.
Your grandpa trusted gold because he could hold it.
You trust Bitcoin because you can verify it.
One required faith in a metal. The other requires faith in math.
Guess which one has never been debased, diluted, or confiscated by executive order?
The concept of money is a human mental construct.
Always has been. Always will be.
The only question is: do you want your construct built on scarcity enforced by governments—or scarcity enforced by code?
Gold was monetary technology for the industrial age. Bitcoin is monetary technology for the information age.
Welcome to the upgrade.
I found the best way to bankrupt the government.
It comes from a Russian quantum physicist.
---
In 2004, a man named Vadim Zeland wrote a book titled, "Reality Transurfing."
In the book, he introduces a concept called “pendulums” that explains why fighting the government never works.
The government's operation is absurd.
-$39 trillion in debt
-Funding wars you never voted for
-Printing money whenever they want
-Endlessly taxing you in every direction
-Selling new bonds to pay off old bonds
-Politicians retiring as multimillionaires on $174,000 salaries
But here’s the thing…
Accountability won’t come from the system. That’s why Zeland’s concept of “pendulums” is so important.
A pendulum is anything that lives off your attention and emotion (energy-in-motion).
Religions, political movements, businesses, group chats, diet trends… these are all pendulums that feed on attention and energy.
If the world collectively withdrew its energy from Buddhism, Buddhism would dissolve.
If America collectively withdrew its energy from the Democratic or Republican party, it would dissolve.
It’s like food to a person. If you stop giving it food, it will die.
Your government is a pendulum, but… there's a key point to understand.
The government feeds on your attention and your energy. But that is not its primary food source.
Its primary food source is fiat money. The money they print, control, and force you to use.
They have an unlimited supply of it. They can tax it however they want. They get to enforce the rules around it. Their money endlessly feeds them, by design.
That’s why you can vote whoever you want into office, but nothing will change — because the money hasn’t changed. Their primary source of fuel hasn’t changed.
The pendulum stays alive as long as their money stays alive.
That’s the key thing to understand. The money is the target.
If you actually want to end the government’s fraud, you have to stop using their money. You have to withdraw your energy from their system. You have to starve them.
You do that by starving the source of their food. If they can’t eat, they will die. If they don’t have their money, they will die.
If the government didn’t have an infinite source of money that they control at will, they could never rack up $39 trillion in debt. But because they *do* have an infinite source of money that they control at will, they have an endless source of food.
That’s the target.
It was never the politicians. It was always the money.
So how do you actually starve the pendulum?
Zeland gives us the answer — he calls it “extinguishing the pendulum.”
Every pendulum has a script it expects you to follow. The script is designed to provoke a reaction out of you, to get you to swing your energy toward the pendulum.
It wants to hook you like a fish.
For example, think of a hostile comment you receive online. That comment is a pendulum. It wants your energy.
When you defend yourself, think about a clever reply, escalate, hurl an insult back — you feed it.
The pendulum doesn’t care if you agree or disagree. It just wants your energy.
Complaining about the government only feeds the pendulum of the government. It’s exactly what the government wants. It wants you to bite. It wants to keep you in its frequency. It wants to keep you in its game.
So how do you actually win?
You don’t.
You leave the game.
Extinguishing the pendulum means breaking the script.
You break the script by offering an abnormal response.
When a pendulum tries to provoke you, you do something completely off-script, something that doesn’t fit the game it’s trying to play.
You shift to a different frequency and play a different game.
Suddenly, the pendulum has nothing to grab onto.
The best way to bankrupt the government is simple:
You stop using their money.
The government’s entire script is dependent on you using their money.
Their monetary system is designed to feed them energy.
When you work for their money, they tax it.
When you spend their money, they tax it.
When you hold their money, they quietly steal it through inflation.
Here’s the devastating part.
To function in modern life, you need money — and the fiat monetary system is designed as a monopoly.
They create legal tender laws which mandate the use of their money — and their money only — for taxes and debts.
If you don’t pay your taxes in their money, you get fined, your assets get seized, or you get sent to jail.
They coerce you into their pendulum under the threat of violence.
It’s the trap inside the trap. It’s not just that they feed on fiat money. It’s that they’ve made it illegal to not use fiat money.
For as long as fiat governments have existed, there was no true off-script move.
You could complain. You could vote. You could move countries, only to find another version of the same system awaiting you.
You were always left inside their monetary system. You were always hooked to their pendulum.
The only real exit was leaving the grid entirely. You would have to stop using money, close your bank accounts, and disengage from modern life altogether.
People’s yearning to live “off-grid” is simply a desire to escape the fiat pendulum.
But they made it inescapable.
Until 2009.

Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin to be the off-script move.
The abnormal response.
The different game.
Bitcoin was designed to extinguish the pendulum of fiat.
Previously, it could never be done, because there was never a different frequency to shift to, other than going completely off-grid.
Bitcoin is, for the first time, the truly different frequency of money that you can shift to.
It doesn’t argue with fiat.
It doesn’t demand accountability.
It doesn’t run for office.
It doesn’t ask for permission.
It doesn’t try to reform the Fed, or audit gold, or pass legislation.
It doesn’t even acknowledge fiat as a worthy opponent.
It simply exists as a completely different frequency, governed by a completely different set of rules:
1. The protocol is neutral — it has no political ties.
2. The system is transparent — you can verify the rules for yourself.
3. The supply is fixed — it cannot be inflated.
4. The network is permissionless — you don't need permission from banks and governments to use it.
5. The protocol is decentralized — there is no central party manipulating the system.
6. The supply issuance is based on math — not what a group of elites thinks is best.
Every single one of those traits is the dead opposite of fiat.
Bitcoin swings the pendulum of money in the opposite direction — and that’s exactly what’s required to extinguish fiat.
No matter who you’ve voted for, the government hasn’t changed.
The system remains the same, because the money remains the same.
The off-script move isn’t to vote with your ballot. That’s the script fiat wants you to follow.
The off-script move is to vote with your money.
The off-script move is to stop using their money and shift to a different game.
That’s how you stop feeding the government.
That’s how you starve the pendulum.
The best part?
Zeland notes that when you extinguish a pendulum, its energy doesn’t disappear.
It returns to you.
Every dollar you hold in fiat is energy you’ve been losing your whole life — to inflation, to taxes, to a government with trillions in debt.
When you shift to Bitcoin, all of that energy comes back to you.
What previously went to the government and all their closest friends now flows to you.
That difference in energy is the pendulum being extinguished in real-time.
It’s the power shifting from the top of the system to you.
You don’t have to protest.
You don’t have to wait for an election.
You don’t have to vote anybody into office.
You can stop feeding their system, right now.
Bitcoin exists, right now. The network is open. For anybody, at any time.
All you have to do is shift.
That’s how it ends.

🔥 WTF - WAS PASSIERT HIER?
Eine sanktionierte Nation baut gerade die größte #Bitcoin-Reserve der Welt auf. Nicht durch Mining. Nicht durch Kauf. Durch eine Mautstelle.
Iran verlangt ab sofort $2 Millionen pro Schiff für die Durchfahrt durch die Straße von Hormus. Bezahlung: in $BTC. Das berichtet die Financial Times.
Du denkst dir: Zwei Millionen, ist ja nur eine Maut. Aber jetzt rechne mit mir.
Bei $70.800 pro Bitcoin sind das 28 BTC pro Schiff. Klingt erstmal nach nichts.
Vor der Krise passierten 130 Schiffe pro Tag durch diese Meerenge. 20 Prozent des weltweiten Öltransports fließen hier durch. Jeder Tanker, jeder Container, jedes Frachtschiff. Iran kontrolliert die wichtigste Engstelle der globalen Energieversorgung — und hat gerade einen Preis dafür verlangt. In Bitcoin.
130 Schiffe mal 28 BTC. Macht 3.600 BTC. Jeden Tag.
Das gesamte Bitcoin-Netzwerk produziert 450 BTC am Tag. Iran kassiert das Achtfache. Jeden einzelnen Tag.
Pro Monat: 108.000 BTC.
Pro Jahr: 1,3 Millionen BTC.
Ich musste das zweimal nachrechnen.
Jetzt der Vergleich, der alles in Perspektive rückt.
Michael Saylor kauft seit August 2020 aggressiv Bitcoin. Sechs Jahre lang. Jede Rallye mitgenommen. Jeden Crash durchgehalten. Milliarden an Wandelanleihen aufgenommen, Aktienemissionen durchgezogen, den gesamten US-Kapitalmarkt angezapft. SEC-Filings, Konferenz-Calls, Analysten überzeugt. Strategy hat jeden Hebel gezogen, den die Wall Street hergibt.
Das Ergebnis nach sechs Jahren: 766.970 BTC. Marktwert: $52,9 Milliarden. Die größte bekannte Bitcoin-Position eines Unternehmens weltweit.
Iran würde diese Menge in sieben Monaten übertreffen. Durch eine Mautstelle im Persischen Golf.
Was Saylor in sechs Jahren mit dem kompletten Arsenal des Kapitalmarkts aufgebaut hat, kassiert Iran in einem halben Jahr ein. Ohne Prospekt. Ohne Aktienemission. Ohne einen Dollar an einer Börse.
Und jetzt wird es unbequem.
Denn die Frage, die Crypto Twitter nicht stellen will: Wer liefert die 3.600 BTC pro Tag?
Das Netzwerk produziert 450. Die Differenz — 3.150 BTC täglich — muss am freien Markt gekauft werden. Über 100.000 BTC pro Monat. In 12 Monaten: 1,3 Millionen BTC, während das Mining nur 164.000 liefert. Die restlichen 1,1 Millionen kommen von Hodlern, Institutionen, ETFs. Von dir.
Ein Supply-Shock-Szenario, das kein Analyst in seinem Modell hatte.
Aber hier kommt der zweite Teil der Rechnung. Der Teil, den die Bullen überspringen.
Jeder Bitcoin, der durch Hormus fließt, finanziert einen Staat unter US-Sanktionen. Die IRGC — Irans Revolutionsgarden, gelistet als Terrororganisation — betreibt diese Mautstelle. Jede Transaktion, die dort ankommt, ist ein Compliance-Alptraum für das gesamte Netzwerk.
Du glaubst, das bleibt ohne Konsequenzen?
Die USA haben Tornado Cash sanktioniert, weil Nordkorea darüber Geld gewaschen hat. OFAC hat Wallet-Adressen auf die Blacklist gesetzt. Chainalysis trackt jede Transaktion. Und jetzt fließen potenziell 3.600 BTC pro Tag an eine sanktionierte Entität — on-chain, transparent, für die ganze Welt sichtbar.
Das ist Munition. Für jeden Regulator, der Bitcoin als systemisches Risiko framen will. Für jede Anhörung im US-Kongress, bei der ein Senator fragt: Warum lassen wir ein Netzwerk laufen, das eine sanktionierte Nation finanziert?
Und die Ironie ist brutal.
Bitcoin funktioniert genau so, wie es designed wurde. Neutral. Permissionless. Ohne Gatekeeper. Kein CEO, der eine Transaktion blockt. Kein Staat, der das Netzwerk abschaltet. Genau dafür wurde es gebaut.
Dieselbe Eigenschaft, die Bitcoin für Milliarden Menschen in unterdrückten Finanzsystemen zur einzigen Alternative macht, ist dieselbe, die Iran jetzt nutzt. Die Feature und der Bug sind identisch. Und genau das macht es so schwer, darüber eine einfache Meinung zu haben.
Denn gleichzeitig gilt: Dollar kommt für Iran nicht in Frage, SWIFT ist gesperrt. Yuan macht abhängig von Peking. Stablecoins — Tether hat sanktionierte Wallets eingefroren, schon passiert. Gold? Versuch mal 28 BTC-Äquivalent in Barren auf offener See an 130 Schiffen pro Tag zu verteilen.
Bitcoin war die letzte Option. Und die erste, die funktioniert.
Was bedeutet das für dich als Holder?
Kurzfristig: Narrativ-Boost. Jeder Nachrichtensender der Welt berichtet gerade über Bitcoin. Nicht wegen ETFs, nicht wegen Saylor, nicht wegen Halving. Wegen einer Meerenge. Die Awareness explodiert.
Mittelfristig: Regulierungsdruck. Wenn sich bestätigt, dass signifikante BTC-Mengen an sanktionierte Adressen fließen, werden Forderungen nach KYC-Verschärfungen, Mining-Regulierung und Wallet-Blacklists lauter. Nicht morgen. Aber die Blaupause liegt auf dem Tisch.
Langfristig: Der Proof of Concept steht. Hormus zeigt, dass Bitcoin als geopolitisches Zahlungsmittel funktioniert — unter den härtesten Bedingungen. Wenn das Modell hält, wird es kopiert. Panamakanal, Suezkanal, jede strategische Engstelle wird zum potenziellen Bitcoin-Checkpoint.
Trump hat einen 2-Wochen-Ceasefire angekündigt. Klingt nach Entspannung. Ist es nicht. Die Infrastruktur steht, die Wallets existieren. Bei der nächsten Eskalation — frag nicht wann, frag wie schnell — ist die Mautstelle sofort wieder aktiv.
Und damit steht Bitcoin genau dort, wo es schon immer hinwollte. Im Zentrum der Weltpolitik. Mit allem was dazugehört — dem Upside und den Konsequenzen.
Anyone can own Bitcoin
because (drumroll)... it doesn't exist!
You can't see it or touch it.
That's both a criticism
and a secret superpower.

@Jeff_Plebs , bom dia!
Parabéns pelo livro. Definiu o comportamento do Estado, através de cada governo, onde sempre o indivíduo é sufocado, espoliado, deixado de lado a própria sorte.
Foi na essência e indicou a solução direta.
Parabéns! Precisa divulgar mais esse livro. BTC
