Never thought I’d be saying this in 4Q25 but I shoulda held onto more dollars. Oh well. I’m not worried. Sats in cold storage.

This is an interesting concept. I’ve never heard of a Tontine before. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/markets/the-return-of-the-tontine-a-natural-retirement-option-for-bitcoiners

Rage Against The Machine breaks my brain. I will never hear one of their songs and not get pumped about tearing down systems of oppression. But during Covid they let their true colors fly and I realized that I am completely out of alignment with them. They went from “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” to “fuck you why won’t you do what they tell you?” Real quick. Noam Chomsky was another. I guess it’s healthy to loose faith in your childhood hero’s.

Socialism will always fail, but it can work for a while like a sugar high if it has three things: 1.) an unarmed compliant population with no way to leave or take their property with them 2.) a money printer to hand out freebies 3.) a gang of ideological thugs willing to met out violence against their own people Without those three things, it fails very fast. So I expect the sugar high of these socialist cities experiments in America to be short. But they will be followed by blame and a scramble to secure the printing press in the next national election. If they get it, the only option is to leave before they close you in. It seems outlandish now but the pendulum swings fast in fourth turnings. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/socialist-mayor-clown-show-truly-something-behold

I don’t spend a lot of time worrying about treasury companies but I have just enough MSTR to pay attention to. I’m still way up from when I moved into it, but WAY down from the highs. Like less than half. Bitcoiners are used to 50% drops but I can’t imagine the trad guys like that too much.

I’m wearing all black today head to toe for Bitcoins funeral. And on the third day may it rise again. 🤷‍♂️ Feels right.

Have we settled on the policy demands for the Orange Party? End KYC/AML End the Bank Secrecy Act Ban property taxes End the Exit Tax (on expatriation) No capital gains on Bitcoin Complete ban on glitter What else? #voteorange

Want to see housing affordability improve? Forget 50 year mortgages. Move the other direction to 5 year mortgages and reduce it overtime to zero mortgages. Bam…prices fall to what people can afford to pay here and now. Sure the dollar would fail but it would #makesavingsgreatagain.

Today sucks! I have the lowest fiat stack I’ve had in 10 years and there’s just not that much left to buy the dip without risking the solvency of my business. I want the dip! Anyone need a kidney?
