 Who buys XRP? 
 Alex Cobb is their de facto leader. His YT channel is one of the saddest things you’ll watch. 
 Looks like they are actually making beachfront property. We were lied to once again.

But they’ll never make more ….#Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/a2d3a5e3523bd37aa570cc03ddab9160b9a71438b8bfdc68854049b5faadbb39.jpg  
 “Soil, being the productive asset from which all food comes, is capital. And as fiat encourages the consumption of capital, it will encourage the consumption of soil.” -Ammous 

We’ll rebuild our soil with #Bitcoin and of course cattle. 
 Bitcoin is going to dump so hard. 

Hope you have your fiat locked and loaded.

Don’t get scared now. https://image.nostr.build/816cb4cbd536b205f60eed599094bc5fd0c2cc1c5442ad6b50b838eb8e934451.gif  
 Fake money for real money…every time 🙌🏼 
 Apparently it’s still a risk-on asset the suits don’t want to touch it until the election and the chart looks awful. 
 Yes, definitely multiple reasons. A couple headwinds temporarily and then we should be good for take off.

 Well said 👊🏼 
 We live in one of the best times since the dawn of civilization.

There have been 100 billion people and we are in the top .00001% in the “quality of life” category. 

We live better than Kings past. 

If you’re young and healthy, even better. Don’t let the doom and gloom spoil your joy. 

You’ll pay big money in 30 years time to look and feel as good as you do today.

Be grateful.

Be present.

Be generous.

 I tell my wife, “I’d rather be miserable with you, than happy with someone else.” 

#Bitcoin couples. https://image.nostr.build/90b058753de85e2d5aad109e7686488cf3640a6686c68b5b61352f3c34d7ee5f.jpg  
 Sorry, extremely unlikely…and let’s hope that doesn’t happen 
 We are in #Bitcoin to help build and secure the individual’s value creation worldwide. 

I’m not referring to a currency collapse. If Bitcoin were to achieve $1 = 1 sat parity in 5 years because the rich wanted to get richer, that would be extremely damaging for billions of peoples potential future purchasing power.  The people that are actually on a Bitcoin standard in 2024 is less than 1 million. I would encourage you to start listening to Jeff Booth or better yet read his book “The Price of Tomorrow.” 

America “adopting Bitcoin” is highly unlikely. In the same way that Blockbuster couldn’t compete with Netflix. They couldn’t even see what was happening. True story, they added candy isles to “boost profits” to try and compete with Netflix. 

Now $10-$15 million per Bitcoin by 2045 IMHO is a more reasonable adoption rate, helping give billions a people around the world to secure their purchasing price. https://image.nostr.build/48916e5289ba58eac60b10c20319079a82761da1fdf05114c365a895f3b1ea41.jpg  
 You’re saying $100 million per #bitcoin ($1=1sat) in 4 years? If that were true that would put Bitcoin’s market cap at 2 quadrillion in 4 years? (Current total wealth $600-900 trillion). You see now how unlikely this scenario is. Mathematically impossible. 
 1. Global wealth is not $2Q 
2. Derivatives don’t create wealth 
3. The fed likes to print but not that much (quadrillions, would mean collapse) 

But let’s just assume your assumptions are correct. That illustrates the destruction of the fiat world in an unnecessary way. You don’t need one system to completely blowup for the other to thrive in such a short amount of time. I hate the fiat world just as the next bitcoiner, but your proposed market cap assumes an unneeded destruction too quickly. 
 If you ever feel bad about yourself don’t.

 They will play funny games until fiat no longer has serious purchasing power. Unfortunately this may continue for many more cycles. 
 People sacrifice their playfulness, their joyfulness, being driven by unconscious needs to validate their existence.

 Every single #Bitcoin maxi has solved this equation.

“Ego = 1 / Knowledge. 

More the knowledge lesser the ego, lesser the knowledge more the ego.” 
 If you’re an American Bitcoiner who doesn’t own any guns you need to fix that.

 Same background: However, I became a born-again Christian (no one is born a Christian) shorty after becoming a dad. It’s a massive rabbit hole,  but I’ll make it short and sweet and you’ll have to take it from there.

As to methods, there may be a million and then some, but principles are few. 

The man who grasps principles can successfully select his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble.
