I'm honored to be speaking at the upcoming @AdoptingBitcoin conference in El Salvador! I'll be joining other Bitcoin thought leaders and educators to help amplify the message that better money creates a better world for everyone.

If governments and banks printing money stimulates the economy and creates growth, shouldn’t everyone also be printing money at home to accelerate society’s progress toward universal wealth?
Money is not wealth any more than IOUs are wealth.
Inflation is just legalized theft.

Have you orange pilled your barber or stylist yet? If not, here's why you should:
1. They are connectors who talk to every type of person in every industry and community group.
2. They have a high trust relationship with their clients.
3. They have a consistent and interruption free environment to talk with their clients in.
If you get your barber/stylist to accept #Bitcoin payments, I will send you a free Bitcoin logo cape to give them as a thank you to help them in their orange pilling efforts (proof of work below). Thank you to @BornTo_BeFree and others who have already sent my pics of their capes!

And if you have already convinced your barber/stylist to accept bitcoin, send me your proof of work and I'll send you a free cape right away (those outside the US will need to cover shipping).
If you want to learn more about how barbers/stylists can be a force multiplier for Bitcoin adoption, check out the article I wrote for @BitcoinMagazine. Also available as a Bitcoin Audible episode (h/t @TheGuySwann!) on @fountain_app.

Good strategy. Remember to mention 3% more in his pocket versus a credit card tx. If you convince him and he wants a Bitcoin cape I’m happy to oblige. He could always wear it as a super hero cape for a bike race, or Halloween. 🤣
Thinking you have freedom of speech on a centralized platform someone else controls is like a child thinking they are driving the car when mom gives them a plastic steering wheel.
You are not free when someone lets you.
You are free when no one can stop you.

There is no red. There is no blue.
There are lies. And there is truth.
Politicians on all sides seem to struggle with truth, but why?
For example, why would Vice President Harris say she's been to the border?
https://m.primal.net/KdoX.png
Why would President Trump claim he didn't pressure Georgia's Secretary of State to "find 11,780 votes"?
https://m.primal.net/Kdoe.png
Why would President Biden hide the existence of Hunter's laptop?
https://m.primal.net/Kdoh.png
Why would President Obama mislead us about how the Affordable Care Act would work?
https://m.primal.net/Kdoj.png
Why would President Bush tell us there were WMDs in Iraq when he knew there weren't any?
https://m.primal.net/Kdol.png
Even going back to what now seem like the quaint days of President Clinton:
Why would he say he didn't inhale, or that he didn't have sexual relation with 'that woman'?
https://m.primal.net/Kdoo.png
The answer is simple.
It is because people, even presidents, don't follow laws.
They follow incentives.
Don't believe me? Think about what happens when you're running a few minutes late for work or are trying to catch a flight.
https://m.primal.net/Kdou.png
And the biggest incentive that exists is the ability to have your finger on 'the button'.
No, not the button to our nuclear arsenal…
https://m.primal.net/Kdoz.png
The button that controls the most powerful tool in human history.
The button to the money printer.
https://m.primal.net/KdpB.png
Money is a proxy for human time.
The ability to control money is the ability to control time, and thereby control the future of every person who uses that money.
My future. Your future. Your family's future.
https://m.primal.net/KdpF.png
Mayer Rothschild famously said…
"Let me issue and control a nation's money and I care not who writes the laws."
Bitcoiners today are turning that phrase and saying…
"Until no one can control our nation's money it will not matter who writes our laws."
https://m.primal.net/KdpJ.png
If we want to live in a world where we are in control of your future, we have to focus our energy on regaining control of our time, which requires we regain control of our money.
https://m.primal.net/KdpO.png
Who you vote for this November doesn't matter as much as what you vote for.
As we approach election day, don't be distracted by the bread and circuses on either side. Focus instead on protecting your time, your energy, and your future.
Forget red. Forget blue.
Vote for time. Vote for truth.
Vote #Bitcoin.
https://m.primal.net/KdpU.png

And if they really are an OG, then this is likely:
1. They were rich AF at one point
2. They lost it, likely trading, and now are poor AF
3. They are trying to get rich again by selling you their shitty trading system and making you poor.
Stop trading. Hodling is the alpha.
The 1st Amendment is a cornerstone of democratic freedom.
The 2nd Amendment empowers us to defend that freedom by enabling us to direct large quantities of energy to protect the ability to use your voice to speak your truth.
Bitcoin is the 2nd amendment for your wealth.
https://m.primal.net/Hqey.png
Your body - and by extension your speech - is your most fundamental property.
Like all property, it is only yours to the extent you can defend it. This requires power, and power requires energy. This is why the 2nd Amendment is crucial in the defense of free speech.
https://m.primal.net/HqfA.png
Money is the most powerful form of speech.
Why?
Because money requires more energy to produce than words.
We have many phrases and idioms in English that embody this idea, like talk is cheap.
https://m.primal.net/HqfC.png
Put your money where your mouth is.
https://m.primal.net/HqfB.mp4
Actions speak louder than words.
https://m.primal.net/HqfD.jpg
Money talks. Bullshit walks.
https://m.primal.net/HqfG.mp4
Don't write checks with your mouth, you can't cash with your ass.
https://m.primal.net/HqfI.png
Think about this in the context of courtship.
A drunk man apporaches a woman in a bar and says 'Will you marry me?'. Will she say yes? Probably not.
Why?
Because very little energy is required to produce those words.
https://m.primal.net/HqfK.jpg
A different man spends months dating the woman and treating her with respect. He saves for a beautiful ring and proposes in a place and manner that shows he understands her. Will she say yes now? More likely.
Why?
The significant energy behind the words gives them more value.
https://m.primal.net/Hqfa.jpg
Because government and central banks control our money, they have the power to instantly and arbitrarily take whatever portion of your hard earned wealth - your life force - whenever they want.
https://m.primal.net/Hqfd.jpg
The ability of governments to steal your wealth through inflation means you can't protect your future because you are unable to effectively defend it.
Bitcoin removes this control from governments, and it gives you back the power to protect your wealth and future.
https://m.primal.net/Hqfh.png
Bitcoin is secured by the most powerful energy network in human history. It enables anyone to break the chains of economic slavery and makes everyone the master of their own financial destiny, no matter where they live.
https://m.primal.net/Hqfj.jpg
Bitcoin allows you and every other person on Earth to preserve, protect, and defend your most powerful form of speech...your money.
And since Bitcoin is ultimately just text (letter and numbers), it is also protected by the 1st Amendment.
Defend your freedoms.
Study Bitcoin.
https://m.primal.net/Hqfk.png
Helping people you care about navigate a bull market can be as hard (or harder) than it is in a bear market.
If you are lucky enough to still have her in your life, start with the woman who is literally the reason you are alive to watch #Bitcoin change the world.
https://m.primal.net/HiKU.mp4
Are you wondering why the price of #Bitcoin is rising so quickly?
Bitcoiners are incredibly generous with their time if you are genuinely curious.
If you want to understand, ask.
If you already understand, teach.
https://m.primal.net/HhcJ.mp4
This would be excellent. Not comfortable pasting privkeys into mobile clients so that limits me to using desktop with NOS2X at the moment. If there is a better way already to use on mobile without pasting privkeys please lmk!
🤙
If you like that, Rustic Inn in FLL area offers those, plus goldens, dungeness, queen, king, and stone. It's about 45 minutes from the Bitcoin conference site for those that are coming down.
