"The real issue was that managers of publicly owned institutions couldn't perform economic calculation because they didn’t own the means of production. There was no market in the means of production, so the state controlled the entire supply chain and the consumer—making decisions with no mechanism for true calculation." — @Saifedean Ammous

President Trump's Executive Director on digital assets: "#Bitcoin has an immaculate conception." "We want to buy as much as we can."

Holding a strategic reserve of 13,562 BTC is akin to possessing a deterrent arsenal. North Korea understood this and has already secured its share. It remains to be seen whether the Bybit hack was an inside job. Currently, the United States holds 198,109 BTC, the United Kingdom 61,245, Bhutan 10,635, and El Salvador 6,117. If Brazil’s National Justice Council (CNJ) didn’t mandate the immediate sale of seized BTC, the country could surpass North Korea’s holdings with the 19,700 BTC confiscated between 2023 and 2024. In the end, all political and financial matters inevitably converge toward Bitcoin.

GOOD MORNING NOSTR, STAY HUMBLE AND STACK SATS 🫡

"#Bitcoin will win the economic game. The bigger risk? A culture that remains a shit show, with wealth concentrated in the hands of those without virtue." — @Alekandar Svetski

"Bitcoiners will have the capital, but will we have the character? In the next decade, we’ll be the adults in the room. If we don’t take responsibility, the void will be filled by those who hate what we stand for." — @Alekandar Svetski

"#Bitcoin doesn’t fix people—it amplifies what’s already inside them. If you're disciplined, it rewards you. If you're a degenerate, it magnifies that too. Wealth brings influence, but are you ready for it?" — @Alekandar Svetski

"Bitcoin's path to hyperbitcoinization won't be a quick freebie. Like the hero’s journey, it will involve ups and downs, with price fluctuations and challenges along the way." — @Saifedean Ammous

"#Bitcoin is trust-minimized, but you still need faith—faith that math works, that cryptography holds, and that #Bitcoin will be there tomorrow." — @Pierre Rochard

"As on-chain fees rise, Lightning adoption grows. A Lightning channel is like a derivative on block space—timing its use helps avoid congestion and stabilizes fees over time." — @BitcoinPierre

"In #Bitcoin, the only way to uncensor your transaction is to outbid the competition. Whether it's ordinals or legitimate transactions, fees are the ultimate defense." — @Pierre Rochard

"Buying #Bitcoin early is like buying Amazon early—you see the potential before the world catches on. No rose without a thorn; if it were obvious, everyone would do it." — @saifedean

“Inflation is the true opium of the people and it is administered to them by anticapitalist governments and parties.” — Ludwig von Mises

"When push comes to shove, you will step on the cockroach and praise the person who does, but crushing a butterfly would enrage you. Visceral reactions reveal the deepest truths." — @Alekandar Svetski

"You could be Muslim, Christian, or Buddhist—every single one of us will recognize courage, compassion, or virtue. Virtues transcend morality." — @Alekandar Svetski

"Once money is devalued, people find it hard to provide for their future, they discount the future more, and behave in destructive ways." — @Saifedean Ammous

"The more you hold in dollars, the more you're providing value for the dollar, the more they're able to print and take that value away from you." — @Saifedean Ammous
