They don’t fear AI escaping human control.

El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment is getting more interesting, not less.
2021: Bitcoin becomes legal tender.
$30: incentive for Chivo users.
3.8M: registered users at launch.
474 BTC: mined using geothermal energy.
2025: major parts of the Bitcoin framework rolled back.
2026: Chivo’s majority ownership and operational control move to a private operator.
The lesson isn’t simply “Bitcoin good” or “Bitcoin bad.”
It’s:
What happens when a nation-state actually tries it?
Now we have real-world data to study.

Most people look at Bitcoin’s price.
Strategy has been looking at Bitcoin per share.
The difference matters.
The thesis isn’t:
“Bitcoin will go up.”
It’s:
Accumulate a scarce asset faster than the monetary system can expand.
Strategy now holds 845,050 BTC.
Study the balance sheet.

Bitcoin gives you the option to be your own bank.
The catch?
You actually have to learn how to be your own bank.

Most people spend their working years accumulating money so they can eventually buy back their time.
₿itcoin made me think about that equation differently.
Work. Save. Stack. Protect your future.
The goal isn’t to get rich for the sake of being rich.
It’s having more choices over your time.

Funny how “₿itcoin is fake money” eventually turns into:
“Okay… so how do I buy some?”
You don’t have to believe everything immediately. Just be curious enough to study it before dismissing it.

300 KB isn’t a tweak. It’s a different product: cheaper nodes, meaner fees, less room.

2017 wasn’t a spell. It was hash, nodes, and markets picking a chain.

Half right. Gatekeeping is real. Thermodynamics isn’t a narrative.
Sunlight is a flow. Oil is a stock. Food is work plus soil plus time. Nature doesn’t fail like a spreadsheet - it also doesn’t deliver joules to your door. Confusing those two is how abundance talk becomes cope.

A wallet does not store ₿itcoin.
