“A demoralized person is unable to properly assess truthful information. Facts mean nothing to them— even when presented with clear evidence, documents, or images. They will still refuse to believe it. That is the tragedy of demoralization.”
— Yuri Bezmenov

Merry Christmas, a Holy Christmas, to everyone who receives this message!
Christmas is the most beautiful story ever told. It is the fulfillment of thousands of years of prophecies and promises of God to His beloved children; the beginning of the new and eternal covenant.
It is a story marked by flight and deliverance, by a State that orders the mass execution of innocents, by an angel who commands disobedience to unjust laws and the courage to flee without looking back.
And above all, it is the story of the King of Kings — the Son of the God who created the Universe — who chose to be born in a simple manger, in a filthy stable, to redeem the world.
“If you were rich enough to never work again, would you keep playing the games of wealth and status, or would you walk away?”
In the end, this is one of the most important questions: how much is enough for you?
It’s like Naval’s saying: “If you’re not happy with a cup of coffee, you won’t be happy on a yacht.”
When it comes to wealth, the returns are diminishing. If you’re not happy with a few million, would having several make you happy? Probably not.
But we humans have this bias of thinking, “When that thing happens, then I’ll finally enjoy life,” or “Once I get there, then I’ll have made it!”
However, when you do get there, “there” won’t be enough if you haven’t taken care of your psychological well-being along the way.
Love is the alchemy of specific emotions that give rise to complex feelings, where only by holding balance and emotional stability can we survive its power, without letting it turn into hatred at the end of a relationship.
According to JPMorgan, 15% of hedge funds managing more than $5 billion in assets plan to trade or increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies over the next 11 months.
Triple A estimates that 15.56% of the U.S. population already owns cryptocurrency.
Around the year 300 A.D., Christians made up roughly 10% of the population of the Roman Empire. They were heavily persecuted and viewed by the elite as a marginal, fanatical sect. Then came Constantine, who ended the persecution in 313 A.D. and began to favor the faith. In just one generation, Christianity surpassed 50% of the empire’s population.
When the State stops fighting something and simply allows it to breathe (or even supports it), adoption can grow exponentially.
Don't be collectivist — choose what’s best for you and your family. Salvation is individual. It was by thinking about the collective that millions starved to death in the Soviet Union, Mao’s China, North Korea, and Venezuela, while the leaders lived in luxury.
Whoever sold BTC at $99K USD is going to have to watch this happen:
Never quit.
Success is a battle of endurance — the one who stays in the game longest wins.
If you’re not seeing results, it’s usually because of one of two reasons:
1️⃣ You’re not focusing on the high-leverage work — the 20% of actions that generate 80% of the results.
2️⃣ You’re being impatient — you haven’t given the compound effect enough time to work.
Master those two, and you’ll win.

Today I met my younger self for a coffee.
I spoke about money; he spoke about dreams.
I showed him my watch…
He smiled and said it had always been part of my story, from childhood until now.
The conversation went on…
I laughed at his innocence, and he laughed at mine.
In the end, we fell silent, just listening to the sound of the watch—the same one that measures time for us both.
Adam Back and Satoshi Nakamoto discuss #Bitcoin just four months before its official launch. 🔥


🧡 Happy Bitcoin Whitepaper Day! 🧡
On October 31, 2008, an anonymous whitepaper introduced something radical:
a financial system that relied not on intermediaries, but on code and mathematical trust.
On this day, an unknown individual changed the world—and then, after a while, simply disappeared.
No search for fame.
No surrender to ego.
No movement of a single coin.
By creating Bitcoin, Satoshi gifted humanity one of its greatest inventions:
a symbol of freedom, transparency, and decentralization—returning power and agency to the individual.
Because better money means a better world.
Thank you, Satoshi. 🧡


Every Bitcoiner goes through “the moment”:
At first, they ignore the topic and only hear about it superficially.
One day, they decide to read or listen to something — and suddenly, something clicks.
Then they get pulled down the rabbit hole and start questioning everything.
Those first 10–15 hours are special — they change everything.
"Gold is boring, just a piece of yellow metal. With advances in nanotechnology, it will be possible to extract it even from seawater. In the long run, it’s unlikely that anyone will keep striving so hard for something like that."
— Hal Finney, May 26, 2000


Set your goals in sats, not in Bitcoin.
Having clear goals has helped me stay consistent with my long-term accumulation.
Start small and keep the habit.
For example: 0.01 BTC might seem little, but 1 million sats is a goal worth respecting.
Bitcoiner, now that the price is dropping, practice the art of not getting frustrated.
Don’t fall into frustration.
Sober on the way up, sober on the way down.
While everyone’s focused only on the price, the #Bitcoin hashrate has reached 1.25 zettahashes per second — meaning the network performs 1.2 sextillion calculations every second.
This shows the exponential growth of Bitcoin’s energy and security — the greatest use of energy ever seen in something everyone uses: money.
You can’t counterfeit energy.
#Bitcoin is proof of work — the incorruptible proof of energy truth.
Study #Bitcoin.


Bitcoin has gifted me with a deep and lasting hope.
I wish for you and your family to feel that same sense of freedom.
Study Bitcoin, protect yourself, and thrive. 🙏
Throughout human history, defending wealth—whether land, gold, or resources—has always required physical kinetic power: walls, weapons, armies, and human lives.
Defending property has always cost blood.
#Bitcoin introduced a paradigm shift: it is also defended by physical power—but electrical power. It replaces the cost of human lives with the cost of an electricity bill.
Complaining that Bitcoin “uses energy” is like complaining that a hospital uses electricity to keep a patient alive.
It’s the cost of security—but for the first time in history, achieved in a peaceful and universally accessible way.


In the last 3 days alone, BlackRock's IBIT ETF had a net inflow of 18,433 Bitcoins. 👀
