The year is 2042. Your daughter just turned 23 years old and is pregnant with your first grandchild. Her husband is a hardworking young man who you trust as much as you can ever trust anyone with your daughter. When he gave her a ring it was engraved on the inside with the seed words to a wallet he had built to start their life together. Both of them have completed Mi Premier Bitcoin. They’ve been running nodes and signing their own transactions since they were teenagers. They won’t inherit your stack until you die, but you want them to have their own home to raise their family. It’s time to transfer them the first meaningful chuck of Bitcoin you’ve ever spent. You have arranged a wallet ceremony. You, with your wife, your daughter and her husband start early and hike to the top of a mountain. Silence the whole way up as all of you are thinking about what this day will mean. For you, it’s the culmination of decades of struggle and preparation, for your wife it’s the pride of knowing she trusted you even when it felt wrong. For your daughter it’s the excitement of getting her first home and becoming a mom. For her husband it’s the mixed feelings of excitement and unease at having another man lessen his burden. That’s part of how you know he’s a good one. At the summit you break fast and crack some bad jokes to loosen things up. The whole way back down you talk about hopes and dreams. You talk about what it meant to be a Bitcoiner in the early days. After a dip in the river, you all enter a yurt together. In a circle you take turns rolling dice to generate entropy for a new wallet. You take your time. This process is intended to be clunky and slow. Even your wife seems patient this time. The wallet has been constructed, everyone is comfortable with the security. As the sun sets you send the transaction. It’s more than they were expecting. But still less than you have to give. Your wife snuggles against your arm. That night at dinner, you raise a toast to Satoshi, because without his gift, you would have been nobody. God looks kindly on those who give asking for nothing in return.

Iran is not fighting the US Navy. They’re fighting the US bond market, the strategic petroleum reserve, and the giant and growing pile of treasury debt. I’m no macro analyst so take what I say with a grain of salt, but it seems China has been effectively suppressing the oil market by using their own enormous reserves and dialing back domestic consumption through policy. I think the big game is who can take more pain: the US or China. I don’t know the dynamics of how it would play out, but if the US SPR runs out before Chinas and at the same time they moved to settle oil trade in gold or something tied to gold, wouldn’t that spike the oil price and lead to an inflation cycle in the US and effectively neuter our ability to maintain our empire?

Whatever crisis happens next in the US is a psyop or a false flag. Don’t fall for it. 👽 🛸 💥 🦠 💵

This article seems to miss what feels obvious to me. Trump has redirected so much of the military to his adventures in Persia that running a full drill in S. Korea would result in a national embarrassment. The easier route is to say: those guys aren’t our friends anymore…we’re going to dial back the drills. If I’m right, no one who matters on the world stage will misread the signal: the US is now incapable of upholding its commitments to allies and can no longer maintain global order. Not great. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/trump-says-us-substantially-reduce-military-drills-south-korea-cites-very-good

You guys remember when Obama tried to give poor people free cell phones under the banner of equal access? The idea lands different after a decade of flock cameras and palentir. “If you cannot afford your own surveillance device, one will be provided for you.”

Boomers: -Still “working” but hasn’t created any economic value in decades. -Has at least one major surgery scheduled in the next year. -Either broke, or owns multiple homes and actively “plays” the stock market. -Even the broke ones manage multiple vacations per year.
