Host of "Playable Characters" interviewing pioneers, big brains, and plebs of Bitcoin! 👇 | BTC class ‘18 ☢️ | Former Pro-Hockey Player🏒
People always ask if it’s good that politicians are in #Bitcoin etc… Short answer: Yes, all PR for bitcoin is good. Long answer: Fact is many humans still take political figures seriously. Any time you have one of them speaking highly of the purest form of money humans have ever discovered you inevitably force someone somewhere to go do a little homework and start studying #btc And as any of us know, that only bodes well for bitcoin. No one goes and studies it and becomes less interested in it. Bitcoin changes you. All roads lead to bitcoin. So whether it’s Elizabeth Warren trying to criminalize 12 words in your noggin or Joel Lightbound speaking highly of bitcoin, it all works out for us who value economic justice, wealth, and property rights for 8 billion people. Do not be deterred. Onward!
Let's call it what it is – Bitcoin is not what you think it is, it’s more… 10 bullish reasons to buy MORE #bitcoin for 2024. The perfect storm is brewing: 1. Mining Hash at All-Time Highs: Bitcoin mining is going stronger than ever, with hash rates hitting all-time highs. It's like the engines of a rocket firing on all cylinders. The more secure the network, the more confident the investors. 2. Bitcoin Spot ETF on the Horizon: After years of anticipation, a Bitcoin Spot ETF is finally on the brink of approval. This ETF is the golden ticket to institutional acceptance. In other words, the big players are about to join the game. 3. FASB Accounting Rules Favoring Bitcoin: Hold onto your balance sheets, folks! FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) is changing its rules, and they're leaning towards being Bitcoin-friendly. That's great news for companies holding Bitcoin in their portfolios. 4. Larry Fink’s Blessing: Blackrock's big cheese, Larry Fink, amidst chaos praised Bitcoin's recent price move as a "flight to quality." That's like having your sternest teacher nodding in approval - the rest of the class (institutions) is going to take notice. 5. Global Chaos: If there's ever been a perfect backdrop for Bitcoin's rise, it's the chaos unfolding across the world. Geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and a general sense of unpredictability are all contributing to Bitcoin's allure as a safe haven asset, like Fink mentioned above. 6. Fed's Balancing Act: If you're into financial astrology, then the stars are aligning. Many experts are foreseeing that the Fed will have to expand their balance sheet in 2024. What's that got to do with Bitcoin, you ask? Well, a booming Fed balance sheet usually means Bitcoin is in for a bullish ride as interest rates go down. 7. HODLers' Love: Those who firmly grip their Bitcoin with “diamond hands,” are in control. A whopping 70% of the Bitcoin supply hasn't moved in a year. These folks are committed, and their commitment is driving Bitcoin's value higher as fiat falls on its face. Who is death-gripping their fiat? 8. The Bitcoin Halving: In less than six months, April 2024 approximately, Bitcoin is going to experience a halving. No, it's not about sharing your burger; it's about the mining rewards getting cut in half. Supply and demand, anyone? 9. Conserving The Environment: The fall of fake ESG initiatives as just propaganda for those at the top coupled with the rise in Bitcoin mining is quickly becoming the fastest way to securing electrical grids and truly cleaning up the environment. This super power of bitcoin has not even begun to seep in to the mainstream yet. 10. Dictators, Despots, and Tyrants: Justin Trudeau censored bank accounts and orange-pilled millions of people in 2022. Elizabeth Warren continues to come after Bitcoin. These attacks, from politicians who don’t respect your freedom, create more marketing material for the sound money as they ramp up their anger. When money is easy to make, societies break… 2024 is shaping up to be the perfect storm for Bitcoin, the time to accumulate cheap Sats are certainly dwindling as the days tick by. But, as with all financial adventures, a word of caution is in order. Bitcoin is still young and volatile as the money is adopted around the world. The waters might be choppy, but the potential rewards? They're enough to make even the boldest investors grin like a Cheshire cat. The separation of money and state is upon us. * Closing the wealth gap. * Bringing property rights, liberty, and wealth to 8 billion. * Ridding ourselves of revolving door politics. * Ending endless wars brought on by the banker’s currency printing machine. The alternative is to choose to stay in fiat currencies that debase your livelihoods at best and promote war and destruction at worst. Don’t believe me. Trust, but verify. I am just reporting what I have witnessed and experienced over the past 15 years. Stay strong. image
The beautiful part about the #bitcoin bull market will be the same thing as the bear market. A smoke out of the true believers who are here to change the world and bring freedom, wealth, property rights, and a voice to 8 billion people and those who are here for gainz. 🤔🧐
We will have lower salary/pay each year in the future. Bitcoin is neutral money that captures deflation and distributes advancements back to the users. And prices will go down faster in the future as well to those who hold #btc  Welcome to #bitcoin ⚡️☢️
“If you're measuring productivity gains FROM the very system that steals the productivity gains, everything becomes confusing. Then you need to hire more people in government to "explain" how economics work to transfer more money. #Bitcoin - is replacing all of this nonsense.” - Jeff Booth, author of “Price of Tomorrow” This has to be the most important thought in the experiment we are currently going through in the #Fiat world, and the most understood, which is why so many people are having a hard time seeing clearly. image
Hard to understand the world or see what’s going on clearly unless you have your Marxist/One World Government glasses on. image
45 Declared Communist Goals for Takeover of America (1963) Read in to Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war. 2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. 3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength. 4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war. 5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites. 6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination. 7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N. 8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N. 9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress. 10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N. 11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.) 12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party. 13. Do away with all loyalty oaths. 14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office. 15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States. 16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights. 17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks. 18. Gain control of all student newspapers. 19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack. 20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions. 21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures. 22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms." 23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art." 24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press. 25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV. 26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." 27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch." 28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state." 29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis. 30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man." 31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over. 32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture-- education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc. 33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus. 34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. 35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI. 36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions. 37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business. 38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat]. 39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals. 40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce. 41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents. 42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems. 43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government. 44. Internationalize the Panama Canal. 45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike. 🎯 How many do the enemies at the gates have already? None of this should be a surprise to anyone. They knew the faith, spirit, familial foundation, and armament of the U.S. was too strong to take from the outside. They needed to rot it from the inside out… image
Times of crisis reveal people, groups, organizations, and countries for who they really are. Survey the landscape and take note, and don’t forget. “What’s good is bad and what’s bad is good.” - Bob Proctor
Thoughts of the day: What can I do, what can any of us do to help ourselves and get the world on track??? 🟢 Get healthy. Mind and body and soul. I work out and eat healthy for life; for my family, my longevity, for those around me on the mission, so I can be a productive member of society (not a drag) 🟠 Support #bitcoin educators and companies and give as much feedback as possible. Support the new circular economy you are trying to build. 🔵 Make as much content as you can in ANY way! (Audio, written, video etc.) Overwhelm the negativity and the algorithms and cued up narratives. Only need 3% for change. 🟡 Accountability is low Men haven’t been punched in the face enough growing up as children. Few know the meaning of consequences. Few have respect and control of their mind and thoughts. 🟣 Following 10 laws If we did what’s right and we worry about laying down our life to pick our cross it is contagious. Worry about the log in my eye instead of the splinter in my brother’s eye.
These 10 have helped me IMMENSELY… How do we uncover the hidden truths underlying the deceptions and deceit filling the global landscape? How do we decipher body language and understand if we are being told the truth without actually being there to witness it? ☢️ There is no surefire way but these 10 tips have helped me along the way: 1) Diverse Sources: Consume news and information from a variety of sources with different perspectives to gain a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues. 2) Fact-Checking: Verify information from doing a few minutes of your OWN research and looking to sources who have PROVEN to be correct in the past over and again. 3) Critical Thinking: Develop critical thinking skills like understanding human biases and cognitive dissonance to evaluate information critically, assess the credibility of sources, and identify logical fallacies. 4) Media Literacy: Educate yourself on media literacy to recognize bias, propaganda, and misinformation. Who are generally the organizations or personalities that have certain viewpoints. FOLLOW THE MONEY. 5) Primary Sources: When possible, access primary sources or official statements to gather information directly. 6) Cross-Referencing: Cross-reference information across multiple sources to confirm facts. 7) Discernment: Be aware of sensationalism and emotionally charged language in news reporting. When emotions are up, intelligence goes down. 8) Body Language: Read up on some simple techniques but also use your intuition and your gut more importantly. God gave it to you for a reason. 9) Avoid Echo Chambers: Avoid exclusively consuming information that aligns with your existing beliefs. Challenge your own perspectives. 10) Be Skeptical of Conspiracies & Mainstream Narrative Alike: Do your own research ultimately and question everything with boldness. Seek truth in all that you do, if something doesn’t add up then dig deeper. ⚡️ This is not a full list of everything you could do to sharpen your ability to discern fact from fiction, but it is a great head start. This has helped me greatly over the years and has always made me wonder why they don’t teach everyone this stuff in schools? That was a rhetorical question…
Would you take a thousand #Bitcoin but you couldn’t wake up tomorrow? Live your life accordingly.
🚨 I’ve been been preparing for these times for over a decade and one of the reasons I retired from professional hockey. Financial storms are brewing, and the bond market's collapse is harbinger for things to come. Just wrote about it on my blog and what I’m doing to prepare for the times ahead. Would love to get your feedback and learn from things you might be doing to prepare as well… Community is BIGGEST driver for weathering the storm.
Just landed and got to Airbnb in LA for PB. Who’s ready to roll??
Cameron Macgregor is someone everyone should get used to seeing and hearing. Thank you for coming on the show & providing a MUCH needed view on #men & #bitcoin that is shunned in culture to explain what's going on in our world & how to drive meaningful change. Everyone needs to hear your message, you are one sharp dude. 🫡 Proud to know you.
So, if the government shut down and 4 million government workers, the nations largest employer, aren’t working does that mean they are nonessential? Asking for a friend.
When you can endlessly steal wealth from your citizens through inflation, enrich yourself and your cronies in the process through illicit accounting, and beat these same citizens over the head using the same wealth you just stole from them through unlimited propaganda, how do you expect to "out-educate" or "out-propagandize" the state? You cannot. #bitcoin fixes this.
Note to self, Brandon: Listening and hearing are two very different and distinct things. Will report back later with results. 👀
“The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” - Galatians 5: 22-23
“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.
