“If you want to be a great investor then you have to get good at philosophy and history.” - Jim Rogers
I think this is something that #Bitcoin helps you understand at deeper levels than you could have imagined. #Bitcoiners have an innate sense of this.
#Nostr is the place where this flourishes.

What you are about to read may alarm you…
Profiting off chaos, sickness, and death.
In a world driven by financial incentives, it's crucial for the modern man to understand the intricate connections between our monetary system and industries that, at first glance, might seem unrelated.
As we unpack this complex web of interests, it becomes evident how our current fiat-based monetary system can incentivize certain industries to thrive on chaos, war, sickness, and death.
We have talked ad-nauseam how a broken money system perpetuates these trends.
When you lay this all out things start to come in to focus.
It becomes clear how all of this chaos landed on our doorstep and the actions we must take to confront it and succeed.
This list may provide a wake up call to some, shocks to others, and confirm others suspicions but is by no means comprehensive:
1. Weapons Manufacturers: The arms industry benefits from conflicts, as governments with failing currencies can resort to war to stimulate their economies. War becomes a means of profit as more weapons are produced and sold.
2. Private Military Contractors: With governments and corporations seeking outsourced military operations, private military contractors seize opportunities in times of war or geopolitical instability to maximize their gains.
3. Pharmaceuticals and Medical Companies: Sickness and suffering can lead to increased demand for pharmaceutical products and medical services, boosting revenues for these industries.
4. Funeral Services: Death is a solemn reality, but funeral services can profit from rising mortality rates, offering their services during times of increased uncertainty.
5. Disaster Relief Companies: Disasters and emergencies generate demand for disaster relief services, providing opportunities for companies operating in this sector.
6. Hospitals and Healthcare Providers: Financial incentives within the healthcare industry can lead to overdiagnosis, overtreatment, and prolonged procedures to maximize profits.
7. Life Settlement Companies: These companies profit by purchasing life insurance policies from individuals in challenging circumstances, capitalizing on financial distress.
8. Media and News Outlets: Sensationalism and the coverage of chaos and crises can drive higher viewer engagement, leading to increased advertising revenue for media companies
9. Psychological Services and Counseling: Mental health challenges may lead to increased demand for psychological services, which can be driven by distressing situations.
10. Security and Surveillance Industries: In a climate of uncertainty, the security industry thrives as governments and organizations invest in surveillance technologies and solutions.
Profiteering chaos:
The common thread among these industries is that our current monetary system, built on fiat currency, incentivizes growth at any cost.
As governments print more currency, the value of it erodes, prompting businesses and individuals to seek more profits to compensate for this loss.
This drives industries to capitalize on unfortunate situations that generate revenue, further perpetuating cycles of chaos and instability.
Now, imagine a paradigm shift:
Enter Bitcoin – a neutral digital currency with deflationary properties that work to realign incentives and break this cycle.
In a Bitcoin-based world, the game changes.
With a capped supply and an inherent deflationary nature, Bitcoin prevents value erosion over time.
This means that companies are no longer forced to constantly churn out more products or services just to survive the erosion of their earnings.
In a Bitcoin world, companies can focus on innovation, quality, and true value creation.
Bitcoin's deflationary mechanism captures the productivity gains, and these gains are redistributed to companies and individuals alike.
Companies that provide genuine value will naturally prosper, and individuals will witness their wealth grow over time, without the need for constant consumption.
Ultimately, the power of a neutral deflationary currency like Bitcoin lies in its ability to reshape incentives across industries.
As we understand the dynamics of our current monetary system and the potential of Bitcoin to transform it, we can collectively work towards a more sustainable, ethical, and prosperous future for all.
Stay strong. 

To one of my biggest mentors & smartest people I know, thank you for spending your finite time coming on the show Bob Burnett.

What does it say about your government if they try to “ban” #bitcoin?
Bitcoin is just strings of numbers.
Probably tells you all you need to know…
People say “I’ve missed the #Bitcoin train because it’s $30,000.”
Question, as it goes up in fiat price each year…do people still buy real estate in Miami? LA? NYC?
Do ppl pay for cars, education, art, etc. each year even though it takes more & more dollars?
Then, what makes one think people will stop transferring they’re worthless fiat for the hardest money & hardest asset humans have ever discovered?
Remember, #Bitcoin is not changing.
It is staying constant as a control experiment each year.
It’s the fiat currencies that keep devaluing themselves becoming worth less & less.
Meaning you have to find more of the units to purchase the same #bitcoin over time.
If money existed in the past before the governments of the world were here, and money will exist in the future after the governments of the world collapse, then why are governments given control over the money in the present?
🤔
#bitcoin families with children…
What are best online children’s learning courses or games?
Any type is welcome.
Trying to aggregate best resources available for projects we are working on.
TIA 💪🏻⚡️
Remember…
When you align incentives the world starts to heal.
Fiat is the disease.
Simply put, the dollar is backed by nothing, making it currency, and making it easy to inflate away and slowly steal all your wealth (time and energy.)
This allows people in positions of power to control the masses with endless fear campaigns and propaganda while keeping most poor so they are helpless and subjected to this endless torture.
It permeates all areas of life.
#Bitcoin is a neutral money that captures deflation and spreads the higher standard of living and lower costs back to all people inside that system.
Fiat currencies are designed to lower standards of living and raise the cost for the 99%.
We were at mass and we gave the 3 oldest some dollars to put in the offering basket.
The moment after the two oldest girls (almost 7 & 5) threw them in there they looked up and said, “those are fake dollars, dad.”
I was like, “shhhhhh, you cannot say that out loud right now because most people don’t understand that or believe that.”
I forgot to mention, they have done this 3 weeks in a row.
The kids can learn whatever it is you put in to their big impressionable brains.
A stark reminder that children pick up every thing you say, do, and feel.
⚡️🙏🏻
Sad all the people getting banned from YouTube.
Happened to me on multiple different occasions on TikTok after gaining thousands of followers because I got too close to truth.
#nostr will continue to benefit and grow.
✌️
Thanks Opti & Simply team for letting me talk about what we need for true #bitcoin adoption. Not as much as you think!
https://youtube.com/live/eD0yZgMeuaA?feature=sharea
Join @BJdichter and I as we talk about incrementalism as a way to increase accelerationism.
How political parties use fringe candidates as weapons.
And what you can do in your local community to increase #bitcoin adoption. 🍻

#Bitcoin stays winning especially in the global south!
Thanks to one of my good buddies @Sean Harris🏀 coming on the show & being a “playable character” in the sea of NPCs.
@btc_cards @HalvingPartyMF make appearances as well! 🔥🙏🏻
It’s all fun and games when seas are calm. 🌊
But when your protest is shut down, your bank acct frozen, your mouth taped shut digitally or your currency inflated away do u turn 2 centralized money/coin?
Or will u turn to the hardest immutable money known to humans?

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,
