21 QUESTIONS FOR ORANGE PILLING
1. Do you know what the return on your investments is? Shares, fixed interest?
2. Do you know why you get a higher return on shares than you do on fixed interest?
3. Do you know why the yield on a 10y bond is higher than the yield on a 2 year bill?
4. Ok. Let’s dig a little deeper. Do you know what the inflation rate is?
5. Did you know that they under-report inflation?
6. Do you know why?
7. Do you know how?
8. Do you know what the real rate of inflation is?
9. Do you know how inflation happens in the economy? Where it comes from?
10. So what’s the return on your investments after inflation?
11. So your real rate of return is barely, if at all, outpacing the increasing cost of living?
12. Is your salary increasing each year keeping up with inflation?
13. So year on year you’re needing to take greater risks to break even?
14. You’re just one person. Let’s just think about who else is looking for somewhere to park their savings or excess capital. (global population; instos; govs).
15. What do they traditionally invest in?
16. How do you think they feel about the safety of their investments in US Treasuries and assets?
17. Did you know that the biggest countries like China and the BRICS nations, they’re no longer investing to the same degree in US assets? That the world sees the weakness in the USD, the shakiness of a system that has to keep printing money?
18. What do you think they’re buying instead?
19. Do you want to understand why bitcoin is starting to be seen as a ‘flight to safety’ by the biggest financial institutions and governments of the world?
20. We’re still relatively early in the adoption curve. What do you think will happen to the price when all of those institutions and governments pile in and take over the 21million supply?
21. Do you want to get in ahead of them or wait til the price goes up?

50 YEARS OF MACRO IN A NUTSHELL
Inherent structural weakness caused by being the global reserve currency (triffin dilemma + forced open capital accounts)
PLUS
Monetary policy mismanagement (QE created inflation + low interest rates + prioritisation of financial sector over manufacturing)
EQUALS
*Weakening of US balance sheet, GDP, trade deficit and ultimately, dollar
*Distrust of US economic dominance
*Flight to safety
*Gold and bitcoin adoption
How am I doing?

After a week in London catching up with cousins and a week in Israel where we also caught up with friends, I was struck by the size and closeness of the families we spent time with. 3-4 children each and 7-14 grandchildren, the regular get-togethers, giant cook-ups, sense of laughter and comfort with one another was striking to me as someone who grew up an only child, lived in 3 cities, 11 houses and went to 7 schools by the age of 15.
In each case the man is successful enough that the wife could stay largely at home for the children's early years though most took on some work, study or charity work later.
I've enjoyed most of my life but I've navigated largely solo, been primary bread-winner in all my relationships til the last 5 years and have frankly felt quite proud of being in a lovely stable relationship for almost 20 years and having brought up a kind, balanced, smart, funny kid when I've been surrounded by many examples of pretty seriously dysfunctional families including my own.
Having not been exposed to this big, close family dynamic much, perhaps 5 families I've come across with a similar vibe over my lifetime, it gave me a different kind of vision and dream for my son and something that bitcoin can help him achieve. Emotional as well as financial wealth are a positive vision to hold in a fiat world where success via traditional avenues may be more limited.

Think of all the energy you use, day in, day out, week, in, week out, year in, year out, to mine cash from your job. Multiply it by the billions of working age people across the planet. Then think of all that human energy and initiative and life's work being stolen by governments across the world in the form of taxes and inflation to line their own pockets and piss up against a wall on war, death, pet projects and union mates of their choosing. All your life's energy, indeed all of human energy, taken... like that 🫰
And your argument is that mining bitcoin, that can't be inflated or stolen, that separates money from state, that can't be frozen by your bank, that can be sent to family, friends and businesses across the world, peer-to-peer with no middlemen, that's incorruptible, that's harder money and more practical than gold ever was, that allows the unbanked to participate in society, that stabilises energy grids, monetizes stranded energy and lowers energy costs, THAT'S the system that's a waste of energy!

You dad hands you the choice. Come with me to Israel. I'm going no matter what.
Our circumstances are different. I'm 93. This is my life's dream.
You have a husband and son to consider.
It would triple my happiness if you came but I understand if you don't.
Go?
Don't go?

I must've read that book 50 times. Time to get it out again.
The chapter on Freedom always spoke to me.

I've only had two experiences of pure consciousness, and they only lasted microseconds, that I can categorically say were irrefutably, indubitably, undeniably true. I will go to my deathbed knowing that truth even if i never experience anything like it again.

the most compelling argument i heard was by Rizwan Virk who wrote The Simulation Hypothesis with the ideas that if you could create worlds that felt/sounded/looked/tasted realistic, which technology is not insanely far off, then you could create millions of them, so the odds against us living in one of them are overwhelming.

I thought this today. It feels like we were curving evenly around the corner and then we just took a sharp turn to plummet straight downhill from here.
But I don't imagine, just because i'm a bitcoiner, that i'll be unaffected.
A fourth turning impacts everybody and there's still likely 7 or 8 years to go. A lot can happen and a fourth turning usually involves a major war.

While he's brilliant I think he's quite emotionally naive and he's also not put his mind and energy to studying money and the system it's created.

I keep wondering about the decade ahead for bitcoin.
Between the convergence of a Fourth Turning, a Dalio 75-100 year plummet and an 18.6year property cycle trough ahead, none of which bitcoin has previously experienced, I wonder about a prolonged period of 'accumulation'.
It could slow down price action for 10-20 years regardless of adoption.

I'm pathalogically afraid of new technology.
But here I am.
And I'll try.
I got my head around bitcoin.
I got my head around self-storage.
I guess i'll get there with NOSTR.
And X is doing my frickin' head in.
So..... hi.

And yet we have a Fourth Turning, meeting a Dalio 100 year macro peak, meeting an 18.6 year property cycle peak, meeting a 250 year technology breakthrough ... it doesn't bode fabulously well.
