IS #BITCOIN A CULT?!⚡️
Michael Peyton, a former cult member of 5 years(!), recently emailed me to share his thoughts on #Bitcoin and if it is the cult many critics say it is.
His answer might surprise you 👀

Trading your finite energy⚡️ in time (your productivity) for something that could be created infinitely (fiat money 💸) is not a fair exchange of value.
If you’re really honest about it, it is the dumbest trade you could ever make.
Study #Bitcoin
BFM088: “Holy sh*t! It’s a protocol for Money on the Internet?!” with @ck⚡️
We discuss Bitcoin challenging the status quo, how it gives property rights to 7 Billion people, fighting for financial freedom, and why Bitcoin is the unstoppable money protocol.

Debt is a shortcut to access economic energy from the future, now.
That’s fine if you pay back your debt.
If you don’t or can’t, you have basically stolen energy from the future that someone else in that future - YOUR KIDS - can not access.
US DEBT vs GDP: 122%

This #bitcoin newcomer is considering selling his stack because the price went down after Iran’s strike (and gold went up).
What would you tell him?
(I will share this post with him)

BFM087: “#Bitcoin Empowers You to Vote with Your Money” - with @brian⚡️
We discuss central banks' money manipulation, why Bitcoin is the antidote to fiat theft, the power of economic decisions, Bitcoin’s role in a modern revolution, and more!

You spend your finite energy in time for a reward you lend out to a bank who doesn’t hold it but just shows you the IOU number in your banking app, until they don’t.
Your money is not real.
Study #Bitcoin

#Bitcoin has no top because fiat has no bottom.
Fiat monetary debasement is mathematically assured.
Bitcoin's absolute digital scarcity is mathematically secured.
Slowly but surely, game theory pushes people to the more superior money.
Study Bitcoin.

The simplicity of #bitcoin = the beauty of Bitcoin =the argument for Bitcoin.
Ultimate engineered truth on a protocol that will never stop is the most ULTIMATE way to force transparency and help humans beat our own corruptability.

To #Bitcoin, or not to Bitcoin - that is the future defining question for anyone under 40.
Do you stick with the pain an unfairness of fiat money?
Or do you decide to do the work to study and adopt Bitcoin, giving you hope for the future?
Your progeny WILL JUDGE YOU.
If you save in #bitcoin nobody can fuck with your money.
If nobody can fuck with your money, nobody can fuck with your thoughts.
If nobody can fuck with your thoughts, nobody can fuck with your opinions.
#bitcoin == Free Speech == Sovereignty == Freedom
What makes #Bitcoin the ideal solution in a world of broken money?
How does broken money affect our incentives and minds?
Why is separating money from the state crucial?

Zuckerberg’s public coming out as a #Bitcoin-er will mark the peak of this bull run, and he will be the legend of the next.
The ultimate internet redemption.
From bringing more people online than ever.
To complying to control.
To advocating for the greatest technological discovery of our time and usher in a new era of prosperity.
To free ourselves with absolute digital scarcity.
He’s an internet nerd like us. Come on.
The “value” that #bitcoin produces and offers to the world is that it is a constant in the economic marketplace.
Its promise is to NEVER CHANGE.
The rules now = the rules forever.
Why?
So participants in that marketplace can trade equitably, which incentivizes them to provide real value.
That improves the quality of the products and makes prices go down.
This incentivizes to keep on improving.
And so on.
Fueling a marketplace with money that constantly loses value over time leads to lower quality because that is what that money incentivizes.
It makes the future more unpredictable.
This makes people consumers. Not builders.
Builders make us progress and innovate.
Which makes prices go down and living standards go up.
Scarce constant money = abundance in everything else.
Study #bitcoin
s/o to Jesse Myers for sharpening my thoughts today 🙏
We recorded a 90-minute podcast today.
It was GOOD 👌
Traditional banks do not like #bitcoin as an alternative money system because they rely on the fiat money system to stay alive.
Banks that do like #Bitcoin understand that the fiat money ponzi they are profiting from will implode at some point so they adopt this parallel money system for when it does. https://image.nostr.build/ded96f14b644077280b98502c760f845b27677104552ead8db623c58750b5aaf.jpg
#bitcoin is the world’s financial backup plan and ordinary people have the chance to frontrun the people that messed up the first plan.
Decentralize everything.
Flip the power.
Inflation is a tax you never agreed to pay.
As long as you keep using fiat money the prices you pay for goods and services will go up forever 📈
That’s because fiat money can only survive if prices go UP, while you want them to go DOWN.
Move to #bitcoin and all prices fall.
I find it interesting (and logical) that #bitcoin is still “risk-on”.
Wouldn’t you agree the extreme predictability of Bitcoin actually makes it a risk-off asset?
It is only risk-on if you look at the $ price but once you truly understand it it is the least risky asset to own.
Your money is programmaticaly devalued.
Your pension is non-existent.
Your banking app amount is a number in a database.
Food prices keep going up.
You can’t afford a home.
You’re 35 with a roommate.
You can’t afford a child.
But #bitcoin is a scam because the TV says so.
Everything else besides fixing our money is a distraction.
Good money = good incentives.
Bad money = bad incentives.
IT IS REALLY SIMPLE.
Bad incentives drive:
Funding war
Deteriorating education
Treating > Curing/Preventing health issues
Fake food
Government overreach
AI will decentralize entertainment and destroy the influence (propaganda) of Hollywood et al.
NOSTR decentralizes communication and helps us battle against government propaganda (misinformation).
#bitcoin decentralizes money and will help us prevent our time being stolen.
I just recorded a podcast with Michael Peyton. A gentleman who wrote me an email as a reaction to a previous podcast where I asked my guest Bob Burnett if #Bitcoin is a cult.
As a former cult member(!), Michael shared his thoughts on that question with me, and soon with you all! 👀 https://video.nostr.build/d6bf8e8192f2f363584f31683c80ba6dffad4188a3d7a7d6025f9ecec55a079a.mp4
“The digital scarcity of bitcoin is not virtual. It arises out of real, physical limits. The rules of #Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustment do not simulate physical laws, they are brought into existence because of physical laws.
Bitcoin is a digital item in a digital environment, brought about and kept alive by physical processes. It is the combination of the physical with the digital that gives Bitcoin its power: a digital commodity that can be sent around at the speed of light, inexorably linked to the physical laws of our universe.” -

“Without new buyers, the Bitcoin system can't sustain itself. Its value isn’t like gold’s intrinsic value—it’s purely based on market perception.”
Sorry, that is wrong ❌👀
Market perception = I should have gold because others do = narrative
Why should you trust anyone? The narrative can’t be neutral.
Discovering a trustless asset is revolutionary.
Everyone can use that same asset forever.
Immutable, permissionless, neutral.
Aligning the incentives of all participants.
Bitcoin = verifiable.
We become builders instead of consumers.
We accelerate.
How can #Bitcoin protect you from fiat money collapse?
How can you handle NPC critics?
What makes Bitcoiners so resilient?

Today marks the anniversary of my podcast '#Bitcoin for Millennials'! 🎉
Some stats:
78 episodes
600K+ views/listens
150K watch hours 🤯
9000+ subscribers
One year ago I decided to contribute to Bitcoin starting a podcast that focuses on educating my generation on why Bitcoin is the most important discovery they should understand and adopt.
It's been incredibly rewarding to learn more about Bitcoin myself, help others learn (more) about it, broaden my network with incredible people, and work towards building this into a sustainable business that I will commit to for many years to come.
Huge thanks to all my past and future guests! 🙌 Highlighting your stories and thoughts is so much fun. It gives me lots of inspiration and builds my conviction around what Bitcoin could mean for the world.
Also a shout out to my sponsors, thanks for your trust and collaboration to grow this podcast!
If you haven't seen or listened to any of my episodes yet, you can find them at http://youtube.com/@bramk and on your favorite podcasting app via http://bitcoinformillennials.com.
If you have any suggestions for interesting people to talk to, please let me know with a reply!
👀 Sneak peek: Once I have hit 100 episodes I will publish a Bitcoin book that is based on my first 100 episodes.
Onwards! 🚀 https://image.nostr.build/86ede73e5c94bff5a873020c7d1c20ae7af8b2a276ee9f5451c30ee2bb78a562.gif
The ultimate use case for #bitcoin Lightning is creating an (open source) API platform that AI Agents can connect too, create wallets and exchange payments with other agents. Autonomously.
If Elon Musk donates Starlink to humanity, people could pay whatever they want for free global decentralized internet access.
Freedom to interact withy anyone should be for everyone.
Add in decentralized communication with #NOSTR and decentralized money with #bitcoin
And we’re free. https://image.nostr.build/dd577f363a58d88a6991fff30061e65a8ee7791e43d4e4dac217a844fbb1c1a3.jpg
