@leadlagreport Smooth brain thinking, all you have to do is zoom out or change the time horizon. Simple AF. I’m still up exponentially with the current 50% discount on bitcoin 🫶
Exactly what the financial-industrial complex is doing with Bitcoin right now.
They want to custody your Bitcoin while encouraging you to lever up and borrow against it, so they can margin-call you when they scoop it up on the cheap.
They want BlackRock, Strategy, Coinbase, or a Cantor-connected Bitcoin treasury company to hold your Bitcoin.
They want your Bitcoin wrapped in Michael Saylor, Brandon Lutnick, Adam Back, David Bailey, Jack Mallers, Steve Witkoff, Eric Trump, or Donald Trump Jr. instead of held in your own self-custody.
Understand the difference between owning Bitcoin and owning a financial product built around Bitcoin.
One moves you closer to sovereignty.
The other moves Bitcoin closer to the financial-industrial complex.
Your choice.
Nobody is fully sovereign.
Sovereignty exists on a spectrum.
It’s not a destination; it’s a direction.
Every day, through your decisions, you become either more sovereign or less sovereign.
I actually believe many people can get significantly closer to sovereignty with a disciplined ten-year plan.
Most don’t, not because it’s impossible, but because they want a one-year plan.
The desire for shortcuts and perfection is often the very thing that keeps people trapped.
I know this because my audience is full of people who have been steadily moving in that direction for years.
They didn’t achieve it overnight.
They did it by consistently making choices that increased their freedom, reduced dependencies, and aligned their incentives with their long-term goals.
Sovereignty isn’t built in a moment.
It’s built one decision at a time.
It’s also built by understanding the rules of the game, which is why I spend so much time helping people understand how the world really works based on my own experience.
The more you understand the architecture (money, debt, taxation, regulation, incentives, institutions, and power), the more choices become available to you.
Most people spend their lives analyzing personalities.
I prefer to analyze systems.
People come and go. Architecture endures.
If you understand the architecture, you can navigate it, avoid its traps, and steadily move toward greater sovereignty over time.
For the government, war is called GDP.
For the military-industrial complex, war is called revenue and profit.
For shareholders, war is called share price growth and dividends.
For the financial-industrial complex, war is called wealth transfer, bonds & yield.
For the technical-industrial complex, war is called innovation, data and beta testing.
For the people, war is called debt and inflation.
For the victims of war, war becomes the trauma and radicalisation used to manufacture the next cycle of strategic tension that justifies even more war.
The goal is never to win.
The goal is to spend as much money as possible.
The more destruction, the more reconstruction contracts.
The more instability, the more debt issuance.
The more chaos, the more resources, infrastructure and trade routes get renegotiated.
That’s the business model.
You’re not defending democracy or saving the people.
You’re defending the terrorism your governments and intelligence networks helped create, fund, arm & exploit.
And then the fear from that terrorism gets turned back on you.
While you and your children pay the bill.
While the media manufactures consent and distorts reality to cheer it along.
And if you question any of it, they call you the conspiracy theorist, extremist or domestic terrorist.
You are funding terrorism and calling it defending democracy.
And most of you don’t even know it.
You called it patriotism.
You are the product.
Get it?
Some governments tell you you have to "declare" that you "own" Bitcoin.
Now, how the heck do you do that, exactly?
In short, knowing a Private Key allows you to request that the network apply a specific alteration to the timechain that "moves" sats from one address to another.
But how can knowledge be equivalent to ownership in any legal sense?
And what happens if you utter the Private Key in court? Remember - the twelve magic words in a seed phrase are not a password - they ARE the key!
Now the entire court will be "guilty" of "owning Bitcoin."
And how do you prove that everyone else on Earth DOESN'T know the same twelve words?
Under man-made law, Bitcoin ownership is paradoxical. Under Natural Law, the keyholder simply IS the owner. No declaration is required, and no state is needed to validate it.
Study Praxeology! Read Rothbard!
“ADHD is not a disorder of not knowing what to do. It’s a disorder of not doing what you already know.”
Dr. Russell Barkley just delivered one of the clearest explanations of ADHD I’ve ever heard.
He says the brain can be split in two: the back part acquires knowledge, the front part (the executive system) uses it. ADHD acts like a meat cleaver that severs the two.
You already have the skills and information other people your age have. You just can’t apply them when it counts.
That’s why life becomes an endless series of last-minute crises. You’re time-blind — you can only deal with what’s right in front of you. The further away a goal or deadline is, the less real it feels.
The solution isn’t teaching more skills. It’s changing the environment at the exact point where the problem occurs — the “point of performance.”
It’s a game-changing way to understand why traditional approaches often fail.
Don't know how this happened so fast, but suddenly I've coached 35 Bitcoiners!
I'm a bit overwhelmed by how much they've advanced Bitcoin since. Between them, they're now
- mid-fundraising for a news Nasdaq company
- they've secured funding (including Ego Death, Tim Draper)
- scaled mining businesses 10x
- shifted Bitcoin policy measurably across three continents
They did this not (only) because I'm a good coach, but also because Bitcoiners are amazing people and something phenomenal happens when they work as a peer network
And that made me realize something
Despite Bitcoin being superior in every dimension to fiat, it is not certain that Bitcoin will win.
Whether it's technology or sports, history is full of examples where the better team came second. In sport, it is often the best coached team is often the winningest team. And like sport, coaching works best for those who are already high-performers.
My vision is that Bitcoin becomes the best coached team in any industry in the world, and this helps Bitcoin grow faster than any opponents can try to hold it down.
If you'd like to "be the change" by experiencing high-performance coaching in a high-trust group of your Bitcoin peers, or even chat about whether this is a potential fit - reach out.

We are in the end game now:
> The US–Iran war has caused the largest oil and LNG supply shock in modern history.
> Japan, South Korea, China, India are now critically short of energy.
> Russia offering to supply oil and LNG using CNY or RUB
> End of petro$, beginning of petrogold
> At the same time, the US government’s own True Interest Expense (TIE) has already reached 130% of tax receipts in February 2026 alone
> This is before adding the new $200+ billion Pentagon supplemental request for the war, Trump’s floated $1.5 trillion military budget, lost tariff revenue, or any recession.
> Every 100 basis point rise in 10-year Treasury yields adds tens of billions in annual interest expense on the ~$40 trillion debt stock.
> Yields have already risen ~40 bps in just three weeks since the war began.
> Higher oil prices are feeding directly into inflation (freight, food, consumer goods).
> By April the higher costs will be fully embedded in the economy regardless of any ceasefire.
> CPI prints spike, killing rate-cut hopes and forcing the Fed to print money to cap yields into the oil spike
> On top of this, agentic AI is accelerating job displacement at an exponential rate
> Companies facing margin pressure from higher energy costs are turning to AI as a survival tool
> compounding unemployment faster
> Private credit is already cracking (redemptions surging, banks restricting leverage, mark-downs accelerating)
> Leverage across hedge funds and the system is at multi-year highs.
> Foreign central banks and sovereigns are trading US Treasuries for physical gold at record pace
> de-dollarization
When you reach a stage in life where you have no bank interest to pay, no VC demanding returns, no public company expecting strong quarterly reports, no income that requires your labour and nothing left to buy, your focus naturally shifts from wealth creation to lower risk wealth preservation.
But for me, wealth preservation is only one bucket.
I live in service: all wealth must carry spiritual energy, because not all wealth is equal.
If our Creator blesses us with abundance, then our money should also boycott systems that violate our creators guidance.
For me, Bitcoin in self-custody is the ultimate boycott.
Bitcoiners like me dislike the phase where Bitcoin becomes a Wall Street tool through their custody, shares and collateralised lending services.
We fight back with self-custody.
I choose to stay, fight, educate others from my lessons and avoid the financial weapons of mass destruction that come from the Proof-of-Weapons Network.
Rotation is healthy—a higher cost basis means more people committed to holding through the storm.
Once you reach the billions, more billions have diminishing returns if you are truly free.
Many billionaires are not free—their wealth is tied to Wall Street, and once you enter that mafia, they never let you go.
Some of the wealthiest people in the world are slaves to Wall Street.
It’s a personal choice.
I choose to continue to boycott the Proof-of-Weapons Network with Proof of Work.
I understand why others choose to exit.
In my opinion. wealth can be taken by our creator if we don’t do good with the wealth our creator gives us.
Good is often not easy.
China just told its citizens to leave Iran immediately. China. The country that is currently selling Iran CM-302 anti-ship missiles. The country whose satellites have been photographing every American base, every carrier departure, every F-22 on Israeli tarmac. The country that delivered electronic warfare systems to Tehran and published annotated imagery of US strike architecture on Weibo in Mandarin. That country just told its own people to get out.
Xinhua, China’s official state news agency, issued the advisory today, Friday February 27. Beijing advised citizens to avoid all travel to Iran and urged those present to evacuate as soon as possible via commercial flights or land borders. This is not the January statement where spokesperson Mao Ning said China was “monitoring” and would “take measures to ensure safety.” That was diplomatic holding language. This is evacuation language. The shift from monitoring to evacuate happened in the same week China finalized missiles designed to sink the ships America is sending.
You do not arm a country and evacuate from it simultaneously unless you know the weapons you sold will be needed and you know when.
Now hold every evacuation signal issued on this single Friday.
10:24 AM local time, US Ambassador Huckabee emailed his own staff in Jerusalem: leave Israel today. The embassy shifted to authorized departure, one step below mandatory evacuation, the US government paying for families to fly out. India told citizens to leave Iran. Canada issued its strongest possible warning: leave Iran now. Germany advised citizens in Israel to prepare for airspace closures. The Beirut embassy is evacuating against Hezbollah retaliation.
Six governments. One Friday. All running for the same exits.
Each of those governments has classified intelligence briefings that you and I do not have. Each reached the same conclusion independently. Each chose the same day to act. Whatever they read in those briefings, it produced identical behavior across six capitals on six continents within the same 12-hour window on Friday February 27.
But China’s advisory is different from all the others. America evacuates because America might strike. India evacuates because India has citizens in the blast radius. Canada and Germany evacuate because NATO allies share intelligence. China evacuates because China knows exactly what it sold, exactly what it photographed, and exactly what happens when the weapons it transferred meet the strike package it mapped.
Beijing just told you it expects its own missiles to be fired. At the ships it photographed. Using the intelligence it provided. And it wants its people clear before the math resolves.
The country arming Iran for war just cleared its civilians from the battlefield. That is not a travel advisory. That is a departure from a construction site the morning before demolition. The architect knows the schedule because the architect drew the blueprints.
Everyone with a classified briefing is moving toward the exit. On the same Friday. In the same direction. At the same speed. The only people still debating whether this is real are the ones without clearance to read what six governments read before they picked up the phone and said the same word: “leave”.
