Especially when things like X accounts being suspended (like mine recently) continue to happen, often for seemingly arbitrary reasons.
Perhaps the differences you cite will become more evident and powerful as censorship continues to reign supreme on centralized platforms

Just joined the Peony Lane Wine club after trying the Pinot last night. If you haven't had the chance to taste it yet or have been putting it off buying your first bottle, consider increasing your time preference just this once. Cheers @nprofile…6un7 Peony Lane is a must for any bitcoiner who enjoys great wine. https://blossom.primal.net/90f710521f6337069a09564903325e765629a7c8ff025589dee7563c1e8a9141.png

There’s more than enough content out there for anyone exhibiting even a little intellectual curiosity to educate themselves about why the world needs Bitcoin, yet otherwise intelligence people are still missing it. Here’s hoping that pointing out why Bitcoin Isn’t For You will help break some cognitive dissonance.
https://blossom.primal.net/30dd16a825edeff583ae17c8906dc86e8c81822e3a4f51de394f179d8e5228a9.mov

Calling all Bitcoiners: Please share the BIFY (Bitcoin Isn't For You) series with your no-coiner friends and family. After spending years orange pilling the hard way, I've realized that perhaps the best way to get a message across is to call out the absurdity of humans being led to water, yet refusing to drink. Many more articles, blogs, and videos to follow!
https://primal.net/jakegalt/intro-to-the-bify-series---why-bitcoin-isnt-for-you

2026-03-16 19:29:51 UTC

I’ve begun writing/recording for my BIFY series - Bitcoin Isn't For You
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry.”
- Satoshi Nakamoto
Throughout my Bitcoin journey, I never related to Satoshi's perspective in this quote. I encouraged normies and tradfi maxi discourse. I enjoyed the debate, I successfully orange pilled many. I wanted to spread awareness about why having a sound store of value does more than grow wealth and sovereignty than simply through "number go up." I hoped that others would see why Bitcoin encourages the deflationary impacts of technology, kills the incentives of elites to wage war on the backs (and lives) of the masses, and promotes work and rules vs loyalty to rulers.
But lately something has shifted within me. It's not that I no longer care, I'm just exhausted by the cognitive dissonance of those who are utterly captured by the fiat matrix. It's for this reason that I've started to write and record content for my "Bitcoin isn't for you" series. My intention is to capture all the reason why many deserve a life of indentured servitude in the fiat matrix as opposed to the sovereignty made possible by unsubscribing from it.
Not because I wish an escalating Orwellian dystopian future upon anyone, but because a horse that is dying of dehydration while staring at a full trough deserves to be called out for being responsible for its inevitable demise.
I’m hoping some humor and sarcasm that’s easily shareable in bite sized portions might help get the point across to the masses 🙏🏼

2026-03-14 17:35:54 UTC

Each of us has two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.
Everyone should confront this as early and often in their journey as possible. The absolute scarcity of our time can be a scary concept for many, but scarcity drives beauty, appreciation, and value.
How will you make the most of whatever you have left?

Living a proof of work lifestyle often isn’t an easy choice, but it is a simple one. Meanwhile, choosing the easy route almost certainly results in greater difficulty in life, so choose your path wisely.

Bitcoin is not digital Gold.
The comparison makes for an easy mental linkage but is far from accurate.
Absolute finiteness vs relative scarcity, sovereignty vs third party risk, and infinite divisibility and portability vs neither, just to name a few.

We exchange the only perfectly finite asset we possess, our time, for fiat they they print out of thin air. An exchange of something finite for something endless is, by definition, a terrible exchange. We must break our stake to the fiat matrix.

To everyone melting down about Trump’s EO establishing a shitcoin stockpile. Do yourself and everyone a favor and lower your time preference like you preach to others. An EO is as flimsy as centralized shitcoins and can be overturned by the next administration, ie third party counter risk. What we need is Senator Lummis’ legislation to pass. The resulting law will be the proof of work we need to codify a Bitcoin Strategic reserve.
In the meantime, stop acting like a psycho ex. Bitcoin doesn’t care and neither should you. Just stack sats while you can still get them at pre nation state game theory prices 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Hopefully Bitcoiners can stop acting like a pysho ex now that the leader of the free world held up his commitment in the 30th hr of his presidency 🤦🏼‍♂️ it’s as though he didn’t have a few other going on throughout the first full day on the job or something 🤷🏼‍♂️

2025-01-21 18:10:16 UTC

For Bitcoiners to allegedly be the “low time preference” group, the first 24 hrs of Trump’s presidency have illustrated many are anything but that. And while many of us realize that Bitcoin fixes much of the upside down fiat clown matrix, that doesn’t mean all of the initial actions of an incoming president will involve Bitcoin just because he came and spoke in Nashville. It was evident then that he doesn’t truly understand Bitcoin. And Bitcoin doesn’t care anyway, tick tock next block…

2025-01-20 18:16:05 UTC

Bitcoin doesn’t care if Trump mentioned it during his inauguration speech or not, and we shouldn’t either. Nation State strategic reserve incoming, game theory imminent, hyperbitcoinization inevitable.

Doesn’t matter which politicians are in place throughout govt, ending the Fed takes away their power over us, as most of what feels upside down in the clown matrix is downstream from the money printers

The political left, politicians and normies alike, cackle about the threat of fascism, meanwhile their leadership has attempted to lock up their political opponents for the past decade, only to pardon themselves, they families and allies, making it impossible to hold any of them accountable for treason and wrongdoing. Like the cheating girlfriend who accuses you of cheating

2025-01-16 20:02:03 UTC

The rise of Bitcoin based lending is going to accelerate supply shock. Historically people sold BTC in order to free up capital, causing increased supply and a taxable event. Now HODLers can avoid taxes, extract value from their stack as needed, all without introducing sell side volume. Couple this w strategic reserves, corporate treasuries, and sovereign funds looking for BTC exposure to replace govt bond exposure…we are going to Mars 🚀🤯

Yeah, there are many gyrations created by inefficiencies in the fiat matrix (key concept in my book). Take cash flow. My tradfi normie buddies view bitcoin’s lack of cash flow as a negative attribute. But a cash flowing investment is such a fiat concept, as a deflationary asset (as opposed to inflation based valuation w fiat) doesn’t require any cash flow. The mindset shift as the world continues to change will be wild.

I’ve been in this position a couple of times w airport security, none ever found anything and they never offered an apology for the “inconvenience.”
I was actually arrested once in a routine traffic stop because the cop claimed he ran my license and it came back as suspended. Sat in jail overnight only to ultimately prove my license was free and clear after paying to get my vehicle back from the tow truck. Didn’t matter at the time and ultimately carried an arrest on my record for 7 years based on nothing…always guilty until proven innocent.
They will do whatever they want, whenever they want. It’s certainly eye opening about how few “rights” we actually have when things like that are going down.
