Father's Day. Wife took the kids to Costco and told me to do whatever I wanted.
I made a coffee, finished a draft, then went for a run. Already lifted that morning. Knackered. Hot. Didn't care.
On the other side of a bridge over the river the dirt trail opens up. Gravel. Dirt. Sun. Shade. Three miles or ten. No agenda. Shirt off. Nowhere to be.
That feeling is freedom. Not the concept. The actual physical sensation of it.
I used to not have this. Everything I write about is the distance between the person who does and doesn't.

It’s self fulfilling until it isn’t, then what do you think happens?

2026-06-22 15:18:12 UTC

Alphabet recently raised $85B in equity. Largest offering ever. The four hyperscalers are guiding to $700-725B in 2026 capex, up 70%+ from last year.
Nobody adjusts that for input cost inflation. A power transformer that cost $3M in 2020 costs $5.4M now. Lead times hit 210 weeks.
Every party in this chain gets paid more the longer the spending continues. Hardware manufacturers, construction firms, utilities, executives, analysts. Nobody gets paid to say slow down.
This is moral hazard before the correction, not conspiracy.
The people profiting won't tell you when the wheels come off.

Import and export price indexes May 2026: The last time the pipeline looked like this, the Fed had to hike rates from 1.75% to 5.25% in 16 months to drag CPI from 9.1% back to 3%, and Warsh walks into his first FOMC meeting this week with a president demanding rate cuts, an energy war with no exit ramp, and producer prices screaming that the worst of it hasn't hit the consumer yet. Going to get interesting from here.

For anyone living on a paycheck, buying groceries, filling a gas tank, and paying an electric bill, inflation is not under control. The math is simple. Prices up 4.2%. Wages up 3.4%. The difference compounds every month.

Good question, I’ll bet on Bitcoin fixed supply over fiat wages

2026-06-05 15:52:26 UTC

Two BLS reports this week tell the same story. Productivity up, labor share at a 79-year low, real wages falling. Then today: 172K jobs added, almost all in the lowest-paid sectors. Long-term unemployed up 524K over the year. The economy produces more with less and the gains go to capital. The 4.3% headline is a mask. Build accordingly. #bitcoin #grownostr

Labor share of output just hit 53.7%. Lowest since 1947. Economy grew output 3.2% with 0.4% more hours. Real compensation fell. Manufacturing is producing more with fewer people for six years running. The productivity gains are real. They’re going to capital, not labor. Nobody is coming to fix this for you. #bitcoin #grownostr

Truth

The 21 million is the answer. Credit money survives because it can always be diluted, the margin call never fully arrives because the escape valve is always open. Bitcoin closes the valve permanently. Digital credit faces the same margin call as analog credit the moment people understand that 21 million means no bailout, no expansion, no escape. Decentralization and security are the enforcement mechanism. The fixed supply is the sentence.

Time will tell, I’m confident in the the network

2026-06-03 04:01:24 UTC

BLS Q4 2025 wage data dropped today. The headline is +4.2%. Sounds decent.
Strip out tech and finance and the economy regular people actually live in is growing at +2.5%. Against inflation still running hot on housing, food, energy, and insurance. The average household is losing ground every single month.
Politicians in 78 jurisdictions blocked $64 billion in data center construction. Their voters got a press conference. The jobs, the construction wages, and the property tax base went to the counties that said yes instead.
Nobody will be held accountable for the jobs that were never created. That’s moral hazard.

This man deserves recognition. Not for saving the economy. Not for refusing to bend to political pressure.
Having the resolve to show up every day, do the right thing, tune out the noise, and remain a good person while the entire world screamed at him from every direction.
You can criticize his actions. You can say he didn't do enough or did too much. You can blame him for whatever you need a person to blame for.
But the man showed up every day for 8 years. Never raised his voice. Never retaliated. Remained calm and did his job. Took the hits from every side and never once broke character.
That's not politics. That's conviction.
Respect.

"There was a saying from John Adams in 1776, where he said public virtue cannot exist in a nation without private virtue, implying that citizenship involves sacrificing your personal interests for the greater public good. And Thomas Jefferson also spoke at length about taking a turn providing civic duty. Everyone has a civic responsibility to support society at large. But if you're going to go into government, if you're going to go into politics, you do a tour of duty. It's not a career. It was never meant to be a career." - David Friedberg, All-In Podcast w/ Spencer Pratt

Another Billion, Another Monday…
Strategy just closed out another week of its at-the-market program. The numbers:
- 10,028,363 shares of STRC sold
- $1 billion in net proceeds
- 13,927 BTC acquired at an average price of $71,902
That's a billion dollars raised and deployed into bitcoin in a single week. No fanfare. No special announcement. Just the machine doing what the machine does.
For those keeping score at home, Strategy still has $21.6 billion in remaining STRC capacity and $27.1 billion in total MSTR issuance capacity left on the table. The war chest isn't running low it's barely been opened.
Say what you will about the Strategy. It's not subtle. But a company methodically converting equity into the hardest money ever created, week after week, at scale is unreal conviction.
The rest of the market is still debating whether Bitcoin is an asset class. Strategy is buying it by the billions.

The March report looks steady on the surface 178,000 jobs added, unemployment ticked down to 4.3% but a few undercurrents are worth watching. February was revised and the labor force actually shrank by 396,000 people, meaning the unemployment rate improved partly because fewer people were looking for work, not because the job market got dramatically better. The number of marginally attached workers jumped by 325,000 and discouraged workers rose by 144,000. Long-term unemployment (27+ weeks) is up 322,000 over the year and now accounts for over a quarter of all unemployed. Federal government employment continues to bleed and financial activities are also trending down. Health care carried the month but a big chunk of that was physicians returning from a strike rather than organic growth. Wage growth at 0.2% month-over-month and 3.5% year-over-year is cooling. Net this is a labor market that's holding together at the headline level but showing increasing signs of softening underneath, particularly in labor force participation, duration of unemployment, and the growing ranks of discouraged workers.

During the summer of 2021 inflation became persistent. Inflation peaked at over 9% nearly a year later…imports front run and foreshadow inflation…this is going to get ugly.

Every halving cycle has played out the same: crash, capitulation, "Bitcoin is dead," then a new all-time high. Here is the trend:
1. $152 (Jan 2015) → ATH $19,800 (Dec 2017) — +12,926%
2. 3,122 (Dec 2018) → ATH $69,000 (Nov 2021) — +2,110%
3. 15,476 (Nov 2022) → ATH $126,296 (Oct 2025) — +716%
4. ~$50,000 (~2026) → Est. ATH $250,000 (~2029) — +400%
The last halving happened April 2024, daily production was 900 BTC, dropped to 450 BTC per day. The next halving is projected for April 2028, slashing daily production from ~450 BTC to ~225 BTC per day. While 2,000 to 4,500 BTC are accumulated on average daily.
The basis trade following the ETF launch in January 2024 is unwinding after more than 2 years, whale addresses holding over 1,000 BTC are on the rise, and exchange reserves have hit a 7 year low.
What do you think happens next?

Inflation and Rate Increases Coming In Hot…
Import prices surged 1.3% in February the largest monthly jump since March 2022. Non-fuel imports rose 1.1%, with year-over-year gains hitting 2.5%, the hottest since Oct 2022. Capital goods posted their largest increase ever recorded (+1.3%). Finished metals are up 27% YoY. Export prices leapt 1.5%, the biggest monthly gain since May 2022, running 3.5% annually, which says global demand isn't cooling. The Fed has been enamored with "progress toward 2%" but when the stuff businesses actually buy to build and produce things is getting more expensive month after month (and we are at war in the Middle East!), that unravels real fast. Compounding core pressures = "how much do we hike?”

40% of Americans didn't read a single book in 2025. The average American reads just 8 books a year, sadly the median is 2. Reading more doesn't require a massive lifestyle change. It just takes a few minutes each day:
• 1 min/day → 1 book/year
• 5 min/day → 4–8 books/year
• 10 min/day → 8–15 books/year
• 15 min/day → 11–22 books/year
• 20 min/day → 15–30 books/year
• 30 min/day → 22–44 books/year
Just one page a day about 60 seconds gets you through a full book in one year. That alone puts you ahead of 4 in 10 Americans. Five minutes a day puts you at or above the national average. Twenty minutes and you're outpacing the vast majority of the country.

The Root confirms what I’ve said before, we bottom later this year and then the bull market can begin its slow grind back up, next top late 2029. The cycle lives on. Buckle up folks.
FEB 5, 2026: “My current thesis - the cycle is not broken, we are going to $60K later this year, maybe even $50K (because the fall below $70K happened way faster than expected...but this is literally the exact same thing that happened in 2014, 2018, and 2022)...we'll hit the 50 week and 50 month moving averages soon and go sideways for months bottoming out late this year, the bull market will begin this fall (Nov/Oct 2026) and run until the cycle top October 2029.”

In 1938 Germany, the Nazis passed the Reich Compulsory Education Act, which for the first time completely outlawed homeschooling nationwide and made it a criminal offense not to send children to state-approved schools. The goal was centralized control over education to indoctrinate youth with Nazi ideology and eliminate alternative influences.

Abolishing daylight savings time has bipartisan support, popular approval, and absolutely zero chance of happening because the government is completely broken. I know this because I cannot explain why we still have daylight saving time and have it make sense to a five-year-old.

On March 9, 2026, Bitcoin mined its 20 millionth coin, a milestone that took 17 years, 2 months, and one week to reach. The remaining 1 million BTC will take roughly 114 years, with the final satoshi expected around 2140. Today, miners produce about 450 BTC per day. The next halving is projected for April 2028, which will cut the block reward from 3.125 to 1.5625 BTC and slash daily production to around 225 BTC. Meanwhile, since the U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024, they've accumulated over 1.28 million BTC in total holdings absorbing an average of roughly 2,300 BTC per trading day. That is about five times the amount being mined daily.
