I narrated this essay by Emerson. It’s the ninth of twelve in his collection entitled, ‘First Essays’. Everytime I read an essay by Ralph I feel somewhat lighter, and with a resonanting insight into his intellect as I have to grasp at how to voice his words. I’ve been chipping away at this collection for seven years off and on. There are only three more to go!

PAY ATTENTION TO BITCOIN: The Rise of Digital Gold and its Place in the Evolution of Money was published on July 24th, 2024 at a bitcoin price of $60K. We’ve nearly doubled a year later.
Celebrating all you bitcoiners out there and this journey. Here are ten highlights for the book:
1. @nprofile…nhz6 made an ill track inspired by the book wavlake.com/track/beb1befc… & it got streamed on @nprofile…htld on “It’s a Mood” https://fountain.fm/episode/DSu5nLcwTAsu4hHvJEtN
2. @npub1key…lt3h put a copy on the bitcoin shrine at their location in New York City just west of Washington Square Park, which are my old stomping grounds from when I was an undergrad studying at NYU
3. @nprofile…9l9q gave me a comprehensive interview space to walk through all the ins and outs of the book and dig into its depths in podcast form: https://youtu.be/5sXzMBiUIH0
4. 28 Reviews on Amazon from friends, family, and fellow bitcoiners. Any authors out there know how hard those are to come by and a 4.9/5 star rating
5. Wrote the last leg of the book in Argentina where their currency had recently undergone hyper inflation. Got a chance to meet @nprofile…jl3g CEO/CTO @nprofile…u4uu and join him for dinner.
6. Had my book clocked and recorded according to price day of publication in The Bitcoin Canon at a price of $60,277. Wrote most of the book in 2022 and 2023 during the depths of the bear market honored to join long term bullish authors like @nprofile…5ups @nprofile…7pt2 @nprofile…509u @npub1qps…8gjg @nprofile…netg @nprofile…ggvh @nprofile…6flu et al.
7. Appeared on the @nprofile…g4xd podcast and dropped some ideas about The Remnant, and how we should stack knowledge before sats so we know what we’re holding
8. Had a fantastic collaboration with designer @nprofile…rdcn
So much fun discussing attention, symbolism, and sharing cover ideas and sussing out what works and why. Oh, and I paid in bitcoin⛳️💸 Initially his design reminded me of a Kafka cover.
So grateful bro THANK YOU!
9. Went on the The Once Bitten Podcast with @Princey21M and got into the weeds on The Federal Reserve and The System Open Market Account (SOMA) ran from The Desk at 33 Liberty Street👀
Soma numbed the masses in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World📚
Full pod here: https://fountain.fm/episode/mXreHZ2um0RnxaHsWMfe
Executive Order 6102 in <5 min.
10. Learning and growing and loving having added a small piece of knowledge to the greater stack we all build together. That and becoming immune to volatility.

I think abou this scene an unusual amount. How “getting out” translates in a bitcoin-as-money (or gold) type world.
How to generate an FU ability on an asset with no yield. How to “cash out” when cashing out may be the mistake… and I’ve landed on this:
BTC is the nest egg dont sell most of it. If the world is frothy in its valuation of BTC peel off a very modest amount and dump it into $STRF (or something similar).
Rake 10% in cash on that in perpetuity and repeat every bull cycle. Meanwhile continue to purchase BTC with earnings with target of closing the depleted gap.
Furthermore, I’ve decided against levering bitcoin for a cash loan because one, the rates suck and two, even if you can refi the loan in a year for twice the amount and use the new loan to repay the old loan yer still sitting on a 2X increase in amount owed and will have to find a way to generate the debt eventually (possibly in a bear), which means either with muscle or selling corn.
Lastly, to me it’s better to:
1. Moderately peel during top cycles (5-10%)
2. Generate passive perpetual fiat inflows (8-10%)
3. Continue to buy recurringly with every pay check and potentially make up the lost corn during the bear (20-45% draw downs)
4. At which point you’ll have the same or greater stack size and regular income to buffer against needing to sell in the future

Touted as a bitcoin book, the manuscript only mentions the word once throughout. While the interpretation of its reference remains open to debate, the half-cocked comment, “see how that worked out”, and the author’s own admission, indicate it was meant to be dismissive.
Despite this the novel is a kaleidoscope of sound money spawned literary themes complete with evident btc-vocab like “Citadel”. The book tackles the devolution of The United States in a rapidly-inflating economy, the “New IMF” releasing a world wide currency called the “Bancor” backed by gold, copper, and various amounts of consumable commodities (an idea floated by John Nash in his essay, “Ideal Money”, as well as many other Austrian economists), and a general real-world palpability to a society on the decline as framed up though the intergenerational experience of The Mandible Family.
From Great Grand Dad (GGD) on down through young Willing, the chemistry of the characters and the silent turned not so silent role a huge family fortune on the decline plays as a backdrop to all that occurs is compelling, authentic, and believable. Shriver tackles unique characters like a linebacker, and acerbic wit, economic prowess, and a love of the threads that tie a family across time and place are strident throughout.
The book rests on its dialogue, indeed 85% of the book is strictly conversations happening in a particular location or another. The “backdrop” of the dystopic future is more of an afterthought to the foreground of the characters. The plot - which I’m not going to spoil - progresses smoothly and naturally, up until the final section of the book, where an abrupt jump forward in years felt like a truncated and not fully cooked Act III. The novels apotheosis is the family crawling out of NYC pushing a bicycle stocked with the silver cutlery handed down from many generations prior - the vestige of The Mandible Family Fortune - on their way to Uncle Jared’s Citadel (a farm upstate).
As dystopic sci-fi is meant to do, there is some very reasonable forecasting. For starters, predicting the widespread absence of toilet paper prior to The Covid Era must been seen as not only literary foresight but literal forecasting. Reading a novel published in 2016 that discussed swapping roles of toilet paper for entire dinners, and romanticizing of how it might feel to reach up onto a shelf and grab a “cushy 9 pack of squishy TP” has an eerie sense of omniscience from a retrolooking 2025.
Moreover, the literary conceit of a sovereign state within the contiguous United States being located in Nevada also jives with something like what a Texas might still become. Terms like “The Other 49” became common expression in this new self-declared sovereign territory with low taxation and no subsidies.
Finally, the “chipped up” reality of everyone having a piece of tech stuck into their spinal cord at the base of their neck (so it couldn’t be dug out) is just too on the nose for something that could be incoming. All transactions digital, cash aboloshed, auto and instant taxation. The plausibility of such an outcome was well if not swiftly established by the author with the flick of a logical pen. It’s simply Google Maps, plus our Credit Card statements, on auto transmit to the new IRS every single time we transact. Not too big of a leap considering.
On par with other books that don’t really have anything to do with bitcoin but somehow map it’s future rather accurately, e.g., Jeff Booth’s The Price of Tomorrow, Nassim Talib’s Anti-Fragile, or David Rogers Webb’s The Great Taking, this book accomplishes a similar reality but does so in the form of something far stickier than books about economics, it does so with a story.
Willing is by far my favorite character and Shriver’s sense of humor runs through his emotionless drawl. There was a hue of The Glass Family, and young Zooey amidst these pages.

I have a mechanical mantel clock that works entirely without electricity, and it keeps perfect time despite being made 44 years ago. I’ve only had it for a few weeks, took a while to get it running properly (when to wind it, how tight, increasing/ decreasing its metronomic pace).
Tonight I looked at my phone about to tap it to get the time, then I stopped and l looked at my mantel clock. Time became unstuck from my phone and I felt it viscerally. It was sublime.

I think I prefer British Hod’s play on $MSTY over giving BTC to a third party like Ledn for a 12% loan.
Why?
1. Rehypothecation: While Ledn offers both a non-rehypothecated interest charge and a rehypothecated interest charge the fact that the former is on the table introduces a greater amount of trust.
And non-rehypothecation platforms like Unchained & Strike won’t give loans <100K.
While everyone’s stack size may vary, the high barrier to entry to non-rehypothecated lending platforms pushes lay bitcoiners to platforms requiring higher amounts of trust. Insert Terra Luna, 3AC, FTX, what’s next? Human greed won’t change.
If lenders want to rehypothecate BTC they should be absorbing some of the downard volatility risk and pricing that into their interest rates. If you go with Strike or Unchained you’re parting with 200K of BTC just to get started, excluding backup BTC for patching LTV slippage.
4. BTC Yield: Companies like Strategy increasing the amount of bitcoin per share for $MSTR, while dilluting the amount of shares overall, are gene-splicing bitcoin into Trad-Fi. This leads to fancy offspring like preferred stocks $STRK & $STRF which pay an 8% & 10% APY quarterly.
The ocean of liquidity just gaining access to what in effect are behaving like BTC Bonds — tapped by up-till-now untapped liquidity pools which are regulated by US markets — is the tip of a titanic iceberg.🧊
5. Insert $MSTY: Ever since options trading was enabled on the world’s most pristine, liquid, and volatile asset people could arbitrage its swings and turn a profit. People sell “covered calls” which just means they protect themselves on either side of a trade and make money.
Non day traders can’t do this so well but Strategy turned the ability to arb its own stock’s volatility into an ETF $MSTY that pays dividends monthly (with the involvement of risk), which range from 5%-15% over the last six months. Higher risk higher reward. Fueled by volatility.
BACK TO THE ORIGINAL POINT: Are bitcoiners better off dethawing a gank (or all) of their COLD SATS to get a loan they need to PAY BACK in full plus interest in a year OR selling 10% of their stack now to purchase income generating stocks fueled by bitcoin? 🤔
Most bitcoiners barely have a chair. Why should we pay interest to get fiat when there are options to start earning income on a small fraction of the BTC we’d have to fork out to get a loan? Plus, when we buy $STRK, $STRF, or $MSTY we get income to reinvest, live, and not owe.👑
🚨There is clearly higher risk in Strategy’s stocks than non-rehypothecated bitcoin but few have 200K in BTC to qualify plus extra to backstop it, AND want to pay 12-15% interest on top of that, which they have to earn to cover, as well as repay the loan.🚨
🎶 While BTC loans will remain on a steady downward slope towards accessibility to the lay bitcoiner (with ever-more competitive terms), the prospect of earning income, which can be spent or redeployed monthly or quarterly, while owing nobody ever, feels like the smarter play. 🎶
