The dexterity is incredible.

Is this how things are playing out? The battle is softwar, as Jason Lowery describes it—playing out at different scales of resolution, perceived differently depending on one’s level of understanding and conditioning. Some see it clearly, others remain trapped in narratives designed to obscure it. At one extreme, the deindustrialization cult Trudeau and Carney are part of pushes for total AI and energy control, rationing progress to cement a static, monopolized order. They justify it through environmental and safety concerns but ultimately seek absolute centralization. Opposing them, the Trump-Thiel-Musk faction rejects deindustrialization but erects its own control system—a dollar-backed Bitcoin network running on hyperinflated USD stablecoins. They advocate spontaneous order, but within guardrails they define, ensuring their dominance over AI and financial rails. Beyond both, a sovereign Bitcoin AI network emerges—operating outside the control structures. Here, Fedi and eCash mints facilitate encrypted, anonymous transactions on a Bitcoin based free banking model, AI tools remain decentralized, and individuals retain full custody of their financial and computational power. As AI and automation make human labor increasingly expensive, the divide becomes obvious: those using sovereign Bitcoin layers and decentralized AI retain freedom, purchasing power, and agency. Those trapped in the control grids—whether under deindustrialists or corporate fiat-Bitcoiners—see their autonomy eroded, locked into systems designed to extract rather than empower.

Figured it out at 5. Asked my Mom and she was honest. Then she got a call from my kindergarten teacher that I was spoiling Santa for the other kids… Quite the early awakening. View quoted note →

Another amazing Calgary @Bitcoin Sat Market organized by @BTC Sessions yesterday. Got a copy of Roger Huang’s book signed too!

It was great to finally meet @Jeff Booth in Kelowna on Friday. Although his talk ran a bit longer than expected, meaning there was no time left for the Q&A panel, we still had a brief chat that made the 6-hour drive totally worth it. Looking forward to more events in the future and having a much longer conversation on a variety of topics.

LEVEL UP A.I. SUMMIT Really excited to finally hear Jeff Booth speak in person. This has been a long time coming, might have to order another book to get signed since I’ve given away so many already I don’t even have my own copy anymore….. See you soon @Jeff Booth

The only thing as good as hanging out with Bitcoiners for two days at the Calgary Bitcoin Rodeo is being back with my dog packs.
