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.

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. 🙏

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

There are more than $1 billion in call options on the market betting that Bitcoin could reach $140,000 by December of this year. Another $985 million is wagering it could hit $200,000 by December 26.

I still can’t wrap my head around the Interim Prime Minister of Nepal being “elected” through Discord. Yes, you read that right — people decided who’s going to temporarily run the country via Discord. That’s insane 🤯

Ayn Rand on #Bitcoin

⚔️ ORWELL vs HUXLEY Everyone loves quoting George Orwell (author of 1984). But it was Huxley’s fiction (Brave New World) that best predicted how the MEDIA has reprogrammed the FUTURE. Here are 5 things he predicted SPOT ON. They are 👇 Orwell feared the banning of books. Huxley feared the LACK of REASONS to ban them… once no one was interested in reading them anymore. Orwell feared that the truth could be HIDDEN from us. Huxley feared that it would be DROWNED in a sea of IRRELEVANCE 🌊 Orwell feared that we would become a REPRESSED culture. Huxley feared that we would become a TRIVIAL culture. Orwell warned of oppression imposed from the outside. Huxley saw no need for a Big Brother to strip people of their autonomy, maturity, and HISTORY. People would soon learn to LOVE OPPRESSION, to revere the technologies that “undid” their ability to think. In 1984, people are controlled through the application of PAIN ❌ In Brave New World, control is achieved through the application of PLEASURE ✅ It’s not what we HATE that leads us to ruin. It’s what we DESIRE most.

“If #Bitcoin goes over 100 thousand dollars, you can bet it will reach 1 million.” John McAfee Legend!!!

The state never buys anything — it always steals. (Even when it “buys.”) U.S. Treasury Secretary says: “We will not buy” (Bitcoin); the reserve will only hold confiscated BTC.

Five years ago, MicroStrategy, a $1 billion company, faced ridicule for staking its treasury on Bitcoin, with critics forecasting disaster. Today, it has soared into a $112 billion powerhouse, gaining 11,200% and silencing doubters—proving that bold vision beats conventional skepticism.

🚨Trump is expected to sign an executive order that will officially allow the inclusion of Bitcoin in private retirement plans (401(k)s). The second-order effects remain to be seen, but this could potentially be bigger than ETFs—and maybe even bigger than BTCTC. The passive capital inflow from millions of people who have no idea what Bitcoin is could be massive. 401(k) funds hold over $7 TRILLION in financial assets. If just 10% of that capital rotates into BTC, we could see an estimated $3.6 TRILLION increase in Bitcoin’s market cap, assuming a 5x multiplier effect. Now, extrapolate that figure across the $43 trillion in total assets across all U.S. retirement plans.

I hope Bitcoin helps you build and grow your family. I wish that your legacy is honored by worthy and wise heirs. May your efforts to create value be rewarded with the happiness of a full table and the peace of mind knowing you made the right choices. 🙏

For decades, one of Israel’s greatest state secrets quietly crossed the desert: a pipeline built in partnership with… Iran. That’s right. The country that now vows to “wipe Israel off the map” was, for years, its main oil supplier.


 Israel faced a critical strategic challenge: how to ensure a steady oil supply in a hostile Middle East? In the mid-1950s, Iran under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi — who didn’t even officially recognize Israel — became its primary supplier, accounting for up to 90% of Israel’s oil imports.


 In 1965, Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir made a secret visit to Iran. There, she proposed a bold plan to the Shah: build a pipeline linking the Red Sea to the Mediterranean, bypassing the Suez Canal — and secretly supplying oil to Israel.


 The negotiations included representatives from Mossad and the Iranian state oil company NIOC — a testament to the initiative’s strategic importance. Two years later, everything changed: the closure of the Suez Canal.


 Following the Six-Day War, Egypt shut down the canal, and 75% of Iranian oil exports were left without a route. The Shah saw the pipeline as a perfect opportunity: reduce dependence on Egypt and strengthen his leverage over Western oil companies. It was the final push needed.


 Thus was born Trans-Asiatic Oil Ltd., a 50/50 joint venture between Iran and Israel — registered in Switzerland, of course. Officially, Iran said: “We don’t sell oil to Israel.” In practice? They did — operating pipelines and even having Israeli naval escorts for Iranian tankers.


 The 254-kilometer pipeline between Eilat and Ashkelon was completed in 1969. In its first year, 10 million tons of oil passed through it. Israel kept 3 million; the rest was sold via Israel, with profits split between the secret partners. A true geopolitical masterpiece.


 While Israel secured its energy supply, the Shah’s Iran challenged Western oil giants and filled its coffers — all under the radar. It was a win-win: oil, money, and influence for both sides. Hidden from the rest of the Arab world.


 But everything changed in 1979 with the Islamic Revolution in Iran. Israel nationalized the pipeline, ending the secret alliance. The case ended up in court — and in 2016, an international tribunal ordered Israel to pay Iran over $1 billion for breach of contract.


 Today, even mentioning such an alliance would sound like fiction. But for over a decade, Israel’s greatest enemy was… its biggest ally behind the scenes. The pipeline still exists. But the partnership is now a relic from an era when interests spoke louder than ideology.

Chinese demographics in one image. In 2000, there were 10 workers for every retiree. Today, there are only 5. The same issue will eventually be faced by aging-population countries, such as those in Europe. A decline in consumption that will be countered with monetary debasement and stimulus…

Bitcoin Wallet Begins Charging ‘Inactivity Fee’ to Users; Amounts Reach Up to $30,000 Users of a Bitcoin wallet are accusing its developers of moving their coins without permission. Numerous reports about the issue can be found on social media. The transfers are reportedly an “inactivity fee” charged by the wallet, which operates on both the native Bitcoin network and the Lightning Network. The fee is outlined in its terms of service. Unlike other well-known wallets, such as Electrum or Ledger, this wallet offers a shared custody solution. As a result, the developers also have access to the funds. As an example, a user shared a screenshot showing that the developers deducted $200 in Bitcoin from their wallet. The invoice cites an “inactivity fee” as the justification. In another post, several similar comments can be found. While some question the motivations behind these transfers, others threaten to sue the company. “All the money in my @Alby was transferred, can you fix this? It was transferred by the official.” “You bastard” “Thief” “All the money in my @Alby was transferred, can you fix this?” “Why did you transfer my money without warning? Please provide the refund method.” “Get ready for a lawsuit, you damn fraudulent company.” Other screenshots show deducted amounts of $42, $117, $1047, and even $30000. In other words, it is not a fixed-value fee. “The Alby wallet redefines the meaning of: ‘Your money is my money.’ My goodness, a new way to steal money!” “The main reason is that, according to @Alby terms of service updated in March 2025: to more efficiently manage accounts inactive for long periods, the platform withdraws the entire remaining balance from accounts that have had no transactions for 12 consecutive months,” wrote the user KuiGas.

Someone is still using the original Bitcoin software and just never upgraded.
