Bitcoin is a system built entirely on cumbersome and expensive verification so it can eliminate  the need for any trust or accountability between all parties; it is 100% verification and 0% trust.


Academia is where students pay ever -more-exorbitant fees  to enter universities only to be taught by professors who spend very little time and effort on the teaching and mentoring of students, focusing most their time on publishing unreadable research to get government grants and climb the corporate academic ladder.(


This  generation has to work to pay off the growing interest on its debt, working harder to find entitlement programs they will barely get to enjoy while paying higher taxes and barely being able to save for their old age.


Sound money
it is not a specific  good or commodity, but as whichever money emerges freely chosen on the market by the people who transact  with it, not imposed on them by coercive authority, and money whose value is determined through market interaction, and not through government imposition.


A license is when the government takes away one of your natural rights and then sells it back to you at a price.
License are yet another layer of taxation, control, surveillance and coercion.


"The truth is that none of us in the modern West enjoys political freedom. We are permitted to fight about political details, but we’re not free to choose ways of life other than the ones provided to us."

–Paul Rosenberg


Authoritarian will always use some public emergency whether it is a Terrorism , wealth inequality, war or whatever to manufacture consent for submission.


The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen. They go to the theater, the cinema, watch television, listen to the radio, read books, but they almost never talk. If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories.
~Paulo Coelho


"You shall not confiscate. You shall not censor. You shall not inflate. You shall not counterfeit. These rules are the essence of Bitcoin's soul." —Hasu


#Bitcoin is a swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth, exponentially growing ever smarter, faster, and stronger behind a wall of encrypted energy.
—Michael Saylor

“We Know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country “
- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Scarcity fuels innovation!!

The increasing totalitarian control structure actually accelerates all
of the building of freedom tech by creating more value for it.

Celebrate that you are just early in the realization.

A system that relies on theft, coercion and control, requires fear to keep you inside it.
Jeff Booth


the FBI calls crypto money so they can arrest you for money laundering

the IRS calls it property so they can tax you on capital gains

the SEC calls it a security so they can sue every exchange

the CFTC calls it a commodity so you can’t use it as a currency

"In most people’s minds, inflation is somehow a natural phenomenon that we can’t do anything about. In reality, an elite class is stealing everyone else’s time at an unimaginable scale." -Knut Svanholm


The government is literally stealing your life with taxes and fiat monetary inflation…

As a conservative example:

You start working at 20.
You work until you’re 65.
You pay +/- 33% of your income in taxes.

The government takes 1/3 of your working life…

They have stolen **15 YEARS** of your time, energy, and work.

And for what?

For roads? (LOLOLOL)

For a broken education system?

For a medical system that wants to keep you sick and medicated?

For the military industrial complex which gets rich off foreign forever wars you never agreed to?

And while they are stealing 1/3 of your life, they are PRINTING MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR, stealing MORE of your time/energy/life force through the destruction of your purchasing power.

The taxes you pay don’t even fund the government; an ever-growing pile of national debt does, fueled by money created out of thin air by the Federal Reserve System. The dollars in your bank account are worth less and less every year, as your purchasing power is systematically destroyed.

I am grateful #Bitcoin exists so I can opt out of this nonsense and save the value of my time and energy.

Anyway, have a beautiful day.


Owning a #bitcoin ETF is like saying you have a girlfriend, but she lives in BlackRock's apartment and BlackRock sends you a picture of her every quarter.

“You have to take risks. There will be disappointments and failures and disasters as a result of taking these risks. But, in the long run, it will work out. My point is that if you don't take them the results will be so much worse than any kind of wild anarchy that could be conceived.”

The root problem with conventional currency is all the trust that's required to make it work. The central bank must be trusted not to debase the currency, but the history of fiat currencies is full of breaches of that trust.
