 “Synchronicity is the coming together of inner and outer events in a way that cannot be explained by cause and effect and that is meaningful to the observer.”
― Carl Jung

 Money is upstream of every possible issue or problem you could ever possibly care about.

Not everyone believes in God or Abraham or Jesus or Mohamed or the Buddha or Darwin or Newton or Death or human rights or social contract theory.

But everyone believes in money. In fact, the one thing the left and the right have in common these days? Both of us feel the dollar dying.

The Fed is destroying the U.S. dollar via indiscriminate inflation. Money printing. A silent tax.
Currency debasement. The reserve rate has been exactly zero percent since January 16, 2020.

Look it up. And then look up the price of eggs.

Our debts are no longer based on fractional reserve banking. It's fictional reserve banking.

Now look up the definition of cancer.

Study money. Study history. Study game theory. Study cryptography. Study hard money. Study energy. Study economics. Study information. Study thermodynamics. Study data commons. Study privacy. Study Minksy moments. Study self-sovereignty.

 #Bitcoin offers billions of people around the world a Swiss bank account in their pocket without a third party.

This unique selling point renders #Bitcoin valuable to most citizens within any society debased by tyranny or poverty or currency collapse or theocracy that forbids financial autonomy to certain subgroups.

 The two most important inventions of the 21st century: the atomic bomb and non-violent revolution. 

Imagine if we could nuke the puppet masters of the military industrial complex without lifting a finger? 

What if all we have to do to choke the death machine that is Moloch to death is HODL?

 The root of evil is not money. 

The root of evil is cheap money. 
The root of evil is borrowed time. 
The root of evil is stolen energy. 

The root of evil is fiat usury. 
The root of evil is the absolute power of Monopoly money that corrupts absolutely with its monopoly on violence. The root of evil is Debt backed by Death. 

The root of evil is stealing the Now from the Forever by sacrificing our children for a perpetual war that races to the bottom and bankrolls the tragedy of the commons.

 Why did we need the military industrial complex in the past? 

Why did we need guns, tanks, aircraft carriers, drones, and nukes? 

Answer: to protect our gold reserves. But after WTF happened in 1971, gold reserves were rendered extraneous and we needed to secure a more productive commodity instead: oil. 

But since now everyone in the world has access to digital gold that can protect itself, the military industrial complex is functionally obsolete. The era of the petrodollar is over. 

The global arms race is now democratized and decentralized. Anyone anywhere can now directly and autonomously protect their time, money, and energy with softpower. 

Bitcoin has not only destroyed every last incentive for war by upending the logic of violence, it has fundamentally rewritten just war theory itself.

 10 years ago, Hal Finney was writing #Bitcoin code with his eyes and using it to pay for his medical bills during his final days. 

Few have paid it forward as much as him. Thank you for being one of #Bitcoin’s first believers. “We’re pretty lucky overall.”

RIP to the legend.

 #Bitcoin rewards curiosity & courage. 

Curiosity to follow the rabbithole as deep as it goes. Curiosity to admit you were wrong about something as basic and fundamental as money. Curiosity to follow the money. 

Courage to believe even when the rest of the world can’t. Courage to take a leap of faith and buy and #HODL #BTC but take full responsibility if you fuck it up. Courage to buy the Truth and to never sell it. 

Curiosity is the master virtue that inspires self-mastery and courage is the final virtue that tests your commitment to self-sovereignty. 

Now are we brave enough to ask how we can stop war ad infinitum and debt ad absurdum? Are we brave enough to defund the criminal usury seigniorage complex and the fascist military industrial complex and communistic CBDCs and panopticon surveillance late stage capitalism to death with our bare diamond hands?

Are we brave enough to #HODL Anon?

 If we build sovereign wealth funds based on #Bitcoin, which is the only asset that stands a chance to appreciate faster than the U.S. government’s accumulating debt and interest, only then does UBI make sense to me. How else could a government possibly ever bankroll it?
