My heart goes out to everyone affected by the Coldcard black swan. Can’t even imagine.
Bitcoiners will get harder, stronger, and more resilient as a result.
Stay paranoid. Never trust.
And fuck the banks. We’re not going back.

Lately I’ve heard so many people near retirement age say something along the lines of “I don’t even know what I would do” as they keep postponing “retirement”.
The fantasy they were sold completely brainwashed them in the process.

Great observation.
Like almost everything, I think the reason for this comes down to love and belonging. If you get your sense of love and belonging from some group, and not your own inner being, it will inevitably be used against you.

Life before Bitcoin felt like a tense and shallow inhale. I was feeling the control system but not understanding what it was.
The Bitcoin journey has felt like one long and slow exhale. Each level deeper bringing more peace.

Bitcoin doesn’t need to do anything.
It doesn’t need laws passed.
It doesn’t need to be collateral.
It doesn’t need your uncle to get it.
It doesn’t need to go to the moon.
It just needs you.
To save it.
To custody it.
To spend it.
To measure with it.
Nothing more; nothing less.
The change isn’t Bitcoin. The change is us.

2026-04-24 14:15:23 UTC

The purpose of a system is what it does.
Downstream of the zero-sum fiat system is the “me vs. them” mind virus.
Someone else is causing the problems that make me feel this way. Someone else needs to fix those problems. It can’t be me. Let me identify myself with other people who also don’t think it’s me.
The idea that we don’t have agency. That someone else always has more power over our life than we do. And that we need to correct what “they” are doing.
And this is right in fiat land. Everyone has something being extracted from them. Their money, their time, their safety, and so on.
But “they” never seem to get things right because“they” aren’t the problem.
The truth is that there are systems that produce outcomes. And whatever system we give our energy to, determines the outcome we experience.
We are the problem and the solution.

AI and debt-based money are simultaneously entering an exponential phase. These incompatible systems are clashing and AI will destroy the stability of the debt-based system.
The only fix to this problem is an energy-backed immutable digital money with a fixed supply.
That solution causes a collapse of the control system built around the ability to control the issuance and flow of money.
This means a collapse of the social contract. A fraudulent social contact, but the social contract we’ve all been programmed into nonetheless.
This will be a turbulent time as the parasitic power structures of technology, finance, and war try to maintain their control through this transition.
Everything will be a psyop.
On the other side of the chaos will be a quantum leap toward freedom. Everyone will benefit from everyone’s participation in the market. There will be no extractive backdoor anymore.
All the layers of complexity between value production and consumption will have been eliminated with technology.
All that will be left to do is create.

Bitcoin creates the craziest union between the left-curve and right-curve.

Both paths lead to the exact same destination.
All while the mid-curvers are “too smart” to just start playing with crazy internet money and too indoctrinated to grasp the theory. Pain will most likely be their motivator.

I agree mostly. Though I think we’re at the point where any protest within the system is just a humiliation ritual. Especially as the law falls and becomes a completely corrupted tool to preserve monetary control.
But your comment does remind me of this quote.
"Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love."
— Julian Assange (State and Terrorist Conspiracies, 2006)

2026-03-08 13:03:18 UTC

Wake up. All the conspiracies theories are true.
Evil and decay are everywhere. Things are not as they should be.
Decisions keep being made that we would never support. Why?
Because the most powerful institutions in the world do not need our consent. They have the ability to take our money and do as they please.
Fiat is the foundation of this corrupted system. Not just a part of the system but the mother asshole from which all the corruption spreads.
Unless we adopt Bitcoin as money, nothing will change. With Bitcoin as the base layer of our social contract, the best values within us will begin to proliferate as we are no longer pitted against each other in an artificial zero-sum game.
No, I’m not a utopian. Yes, conflict will still exist. We are a fallen humanity.

You can come after me.
You can physically harm me.
You can even kill me.

If you want my time and energy, cooperation is your only option. Cooperation that benefits me, you, and all of humanity.

The Epstein files are a waste of time.
Epstein was a piece of the control system. Not THE system.
The control system is just as strong today as it was before he was purged. Not because it is unstoppable, but because WE give it strength.
Yes, Epstein’s operations and network are awful.
But in a debt-based monetary system, control is required to keep it going. So the most disgusting methods of control should be expected.
Because money is the collective time and energy of humanity, controlling the money is most powerful control mechanism that exists.
That system cannot be fixed from within.
It has to be left alone to die.
The legacy system of control is like a terminally ill patient on a ventilator being kept alive by the time and energy we keep breathing into it.
The future must be built outside that system and strong enough to resist its control.
Bitcoin is it. It is THE tool. Our only path forward.
And it is already enough. Already up for the task.

The idea that throughout history the 2.5% of people who understood the problem and had the integrity to stand up for the solution were always targeted, killed and removed; causing us to continually fall back into control system after control system.
With Bitcoin, the 2.5% are now shielded in anonymity and able to impose an honest system on the world for the first time ever.
