Breaking the Bondage ⛓️ Unraveling the Immorality of Bonds Sneaky Slavery: In the vast world of finance, bonds have long been considered a safe and stable investment option. However, a closer examination reveals a darker truth: bonds can be a source of entrapment and enslavement for unsuspecting investors. In this article, we will delve into the reasons why bonds can keep you trapped and explore the underlying motives behind their prevalence. A System Designed to Persist: The persistence of the bond market is largely due to the lack of collective action to challenge its existence. Many individuals simply accept bonds as a part of their investment portfolios without questioning their underlying implications. This complacency allows the bond market to thrive, perpetuating a system that ultimately benefits the few at the expense of the many. The Illusion of Safety: Bonds are deeply woven into various financial instruments and often the primary fixture among; ETFs, 401(k)s, 529 plans, insurance policies, pensions, and endowments. They are often presented as a secure and conservative choice for investors. However, this illusion of safety can be deceiving, as bonds may harbor hidden slavery and be used to create toxic assets. Exploiting Financial Ignorance: Financial institutions strategically exploit the lack of financial literacy among investors. They take advantage of the fact that many individuals do not fully understand the intricacies of bonds or the risks associated with them. By intentionally stuffing their portfolios with undesirable assets, they ensure that most investors remain oblivious to the true nature of their investments. The Bitcoin Paradigm Shift: As the flaws of traditional financial instruments become more apparent, insurance companies and banks are beginning to turn their attention to Bitcoin. The decentralized nature of this digital currency presents a potential solution to the problems inherent in the bond market. Bitcoin offers an alternative path towards financial freedom, unencumbered by the pitfalls of traditional investment structures of debt and fiat. Breaking the Chains: It is crucial for individuals to break free from the bondage of bonds and educate themselves about the alternatives available. By understanding the inherent risks and limitations of bonds, investors can make informed decisions and explore new avenues for financial growth. Embracing alternative investment strategies, such as Bitcoin, can provide an escape from the entrapment of traditional bonds. Path Away From Servitude: Bonds, once considered a pillar of stability in the investment world, have revealed their darker side. The prevalence of bonds across various financial instruments has perpetuated a system that benefits a select few while keeping the majority in financial servitude. Recognizing the inherent flaws of bonds and exploring alternative investment options is the first step towards breaking free from this enslavement. As insurance companies and banks explore the potential of Bitcoin, a paradigm shift is underway, offering individuals a chance to reclaim their financial autonomy and chart a new path towards prosperity. Stay strong, Brandon

I have no words. No wait, I do… Opt out of the looney bin with #Bitcoin  Read this whole picture 🤯🤡🌎 image
The US Dollar is the same as the Tulip mania all over again. Problem is we are all on the backslide down. Those holding fiat are the ones that are losing. Just like the ones holding beds of flowers hundreds of years ago. #bitcoin isn’t the ponzi. The legacy fiat system is the ponzi

Thanks @OptimistFields for coming on the show, leading the charge of the 3%, and sharing your story on how #bitcoin  has changed and shaped your life. Proud to be in the fox hole with someone like you. 💪🏻🫡🙏🏻
Honored to have (@PrinceySOV) Daniel Prince on the show, the first to give me a platform to share my story in #bitcoin One of the most thoughtful people I know & a true trail blazer. The epitome of looking at your children as your greatest asset instead of a liability.🙏
Media is biggest drug dealers. Dopamine dealers… Outrage, chaos, distraction, diversion. Conspiracy theories and salacious headlines. Amazing stuff. #bitcoin locks these dealers away.
Ulric, thanks for coming on the show brother & being a "Playable Character." Kind of hard to find these days unfortunately. Love what you are about & grateful to call you a friend. You always make me think & grow in my understanding of life. 🙏💪 True #bitcoin pleb
Love that blackrock is coming into #bitcoin and dragging all their buddies with them. FTX should be a warning sign to all legacy institutions that this ain’t gold and silver. If you short bitcoin and try to sell paper you don’t own, you’ll fuck around and find out. Blackrock is on our battlefield now. We have the Highground. We are the captain now. Good luck to all participants.
To the point… Professor Gad Saad explains how scientists are not impervious to what Scott Adams’ 7 signs of cognitive dissonance: 1. Change Topic 2. Ad Hominem 3. Mind Reading 4. Word Salad 5. Analogy instead of reason 6. Too Complicated to explain 7. “So you’re saying” straw man youtu.be/AcJ5iMvQ2aU H/t BJ Dichter
• Tools To Fight Disinformation • Unvcovering the psy-ops… The leader and face of the Canadian Trucker Convoy knows firsthand what it is like fight lies and disinformation in the face of seemingly insurmountable vilification.  Taken from a twitter post by BJ Dichter whom I run political bitcoin spaces with every Wednesday from 1-2pm EST. BJ and I are aiming to bridge the gap between the concsiouess of bitcoiners and people in the political world. What can we do to bring people together and build a community of free thinkers and people sticking up for liberty and first principles. Professor Gad Saad explains how scientists are not impervious to what Scott Adams’ 7 signs of cognitive dissonance. 1. Change Topic 2. Ad Hominem 3. Mind Reading 4. Word Salad 5. Analogy instead of reason 6. Too Complicated to explain 7. “So you’re saying” straw man youtu.be/AcJ5iMvQ2aU If we can understand where people are coming from and that we are all psychological beings and ALL operating from some level of cognitive dissonance than we can better debate and share ideas. Once someone is too far down the road though it is almost better to walk away and find someone else to communicate with. Much of society (especially media and academia) is operating off of false assumptions and the false prison of two ideas, perpetuated by the “confuse-opoly” we have created for ourselves. This is why we see so much discord and dissension. Polarization and hate are fueled by those looking for eyeballs to pad their bottom line. We the plebs are caught in the crosshairs and become canon fodder. Freedom loses out. Fiat currencies incentivize this behavior because they lose their value and everyone is left thinking about “what is good for me now” instead of worrying about how can I impact the future for us all. This is generally a subconscious matter that must don’t take the time to think about how broken money is destroying their every waking second. Keep your head up. We have the solution. Separation of money and state. Stay strong. image
The “science is always changing” yet the sCiEnCe doesn’t want to debate you, so how do we know science is always changing? 🤯🤡🌎
The year is 2023. We still let govt take our time & energy through property taxes to pay for outdated govt-run schooling. Literally no oversight & minimal opportunity to change. Incentives completely broken with #fiat #Bitcoin returns us to sound money aligning incentives. Start mobilizing and organizing using #nostr to turn this tide.
Societal decay summed up in 60 seconds: Where families once thrived in close-knit communities, where generations lived under one roof, and the wisdom of the elderly was revered, we now find ourselves caught in the whirlwind of a frenzied existence, detached from the core values that defined us for thousands of years; we work tirelessly for a mere paycheck, sacrificing the precious bonds with our loved ones, entrusting the education and upbringing of our children to distant institutions, as we strive to meet the ever-increasing demands of a corrupted monetary system that keeps us perpetually enslaved to the notion of financial security; the wise elders, with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are cast aside as society neglects to acknowledge the invaluable contributions they could make, allowing their wisdom to dissipate like whispers in the wind, while we foolishly pursue the elusive mirage of eternal youth and vitality; and as the sands of time continue to shift, we find ourselves consigning our elderly parents and relatives to the impersonal halls of group homes, alienating them from the warmth and love they once knew, all in the name of progress and convenience, forsaking the sanctity of familial bonds and shattering the intergenerational connections that once nurtured us; in this relentless pursuit of financial security and materialistic desires, we lose sight of what truly matters, trading the joy of togetherness for the fleeting pleasures of an empty consumerism, leaving our children stranded in a desert of neglect and isolation, deprived of the guidance and affection they so desperately need, as we chase after the elusive dream of success, unwittingly sacrificing the very essence of our humanity, disconnecting from the fundamental values that have sustained civilizations for centuries, and succumbing to the hollow promises of future that values “owning nothing” and thinking that will bring “happiness” above the sacred bonds of family and community. 🤡🌎
WE FOUND ANOTHER PLAYABLE CHARACTER! 😉 One of the deepest thinkers in #bitcoin that most don't know yet...but they WILL. Thanks @Dante_Cook1 for helping me think about things in ways I didn't think I could. More importantly for being a great friend.🙏
I have to share this message I received from Ken McElroy in his newsletter. I think it’s very pertinent to the times we’re living in and I had to share in my blog. He is a Rich Dad Advisor for Robert Kiyosaki and is one of the smartest real estate and entrepreneurial minds that I know. He often shares things that are real estate or business related. Today he shared something even more profound. When you find people that are very good at something you would be smart to study them and observe what they do. One of the greatest benefits of the lockdowns is that it forced many of the smartest minds in the world on to the internet. Ken was one of those people. Someone who rarely showed his face or made any content. Now there are hundreds and thousands of people like him that are now available to learn from. Enjoy! ————— From Ken McElroy - In today’s society, I have noticed people don’t value relationships like they used to. People hop from job to job, they stop talking to friends, and even family members. They are so self-absorbed that they don’t really think about the importance of the relationships they have in their life. They want to get from point A to point B, but they don’t stop and think about who helped them get there. The most successful people I know value and cherish relationships. Relationships are important. Whether in business, personal, or likewise. Business relationships bring opportunity and the relationship you choose to have with your friends and family can bring happiness. Throughout my life, I have leveraged the relationships I have built. In fact, I was hired on my first job as a property manager with no experience through a friend of mine. He worked for someone who needed a property manager and referred me. He referred me because we had a good relationship and I was a good. I then did a great job as a property manager and leveraged my relationship with my boss to get a better job. I have done this my whole life. I built my career as a young man who didn’t have a dime in my pocket to where I am now by valuing the people I have met. Some have helped me and others I have helped. It works both ways. Value the relationships you have. Whether in business or in your personal life. These relationships will bring you happiness and opportunities. Don’t ever burn a bridge, because burning bridges will get you stuck while building and repairing bridges will always lead to further growth. ———————— This was too good not to share. My parents alway told me not to burn bridges and to do the right thing and it has served me very well in my life in getting to the highest levels. Business and life doesn't have to be cutthroat if you don’t want it to be. You make life what you want it to be. I hope you found something from this as it resonated with me and reinforced for me the importance of slowing down and taking a breath to understand what is TRULY important around me. Stay strong. Link to my blog and video I made on it here:
“Infinite banking” is big in the life insurance industry. Would you rather participate in compounding 3-6% returns and a 3rd party still controlling your wealth? Or would you rather infinite #bitcoin & borrow instantly against your asset that appreciates ~100% CAGR?
When you buy #bitcoin you are selling dollars. Or said a different way… Buying the new world and selling the old crumbling world. #[1]
