At the height of the crisis, one leading public official at a well-known bank remarked to me that “the bankers are in the bunker with the government”. Meaningful change cannot be achieved in these circumstances and one is forced to conclude that the present establishment is incapable of reforming itself.
Umm…same now?? #bitcoin

One dude who found bitcoin - studied BTC - bought BTC and now found NOSTR.
@jack mallers - dude! I know you have so much free time at the moment(haha).. would it be possible to come to SA to see what’s happening with BTC here plus see the incredible country and people and see the opportunity to expand Strike into the market here? #bitcoin
@HODL … brother, would you ever be keen to make a trip to South Africa to have a rant and talk BTC? We have cool safaris and incredible coastal towns you could visit.. I really wanna get the OGs out here for some exposure to the global south… #bitcoin
Goodness me the amount of scams going around with crypto especially USDT!!! 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Used @Jeff Booth - the natural state of the free market is deflation tonight.. I got a few blank stares but the penny dropped and some educational resources were shared..
Person by person and the sly round about way is working. People feel something is wrong but can’t pinpoint it so we gotta make it easy for them!

Some information.. spoke to 2 people today from 2 big banks in South Africa. Both deep in the data space within the organizations..
One said banks are a necessary evil and believe they have the right to control money for “terrorist and nefarious” reasons and the other (elder lady) - says fuck the banks and she is riding it out and making as much money as she can until retirement..
Asked what causes inflation.. crickets.. none of them have a clue.. it’s scary how early we are..
They both said XRP is good and typically I asked what it does - “replaces swift” - I vomited my steak I was eating…
Showed circulating supply and total supply and they both had the oh fuck that moment..
Anyways - we keep educating!

The power of prices is the process of dynamic discovery that underpins their emergence, not the fleeting consensus of a specific moment in time. The price is never right, but prices are as right as can be hoped for at that moment. #bitcoin

BITCOIN IS VENICE
BTC @0.50USD was fun to watch… now it’s boring as fuck! Education is more vital now than price..
The government is the devil. They need to be killed in a hurry.
Not literally 🤣🤣 change the FED INTO A BTC MINING warehouse! #bitcoin
No thanks you pieces of shit… I’ll invest in the hardest money ever created! #bitcoin


My boss.. general conversation.. talking about T-bills… hasn’t a club what they are..
We are so early!! 🙋♂️🙋♂️ #bitcoin
Only person truly understood BTC in my circle in my brother - I think there might be a hint of fiat virus left but everyone still thinks buy at X and selll at Y and your a genius. Fiat is cancer. BTC is natural chemo therapy. People “trust” the science instead of thinking outside the big pharma walls. #bitcoin
Fiat brained BTC people - buying at $100k and all of a sudden made 17% thinking they Warren Buffet (he is a terrible investor) in my opinion..
Born right time right place and HODLED for decades..
I’d love to model how he’d change if he lived on a hard money standard. Think the returns would be rather interesting.

Have people in BTC (unless you have 100s of BTCs) become depressed after finding the rabbit hole? Sometimes life is not worth living - yes the time horizon is understood but fiat land is still around for at least 10 years prob more… surely I can’t be the only one?

@Nik Bhatia - hey Nik, hope you well?
Do you believe there is an opportunity to educate the PGA Tour players on BTC?
Would be interested to know if they even care?

The cause of waves of unemployment is not capitalism, but governments . . .

They are the problem with absolutely everything. BTC makes them obsolete. #bitcoin
Find the right answer, realise you’ll never see it in your lifetime, and then advocate it anyway, because it’s the right answer.

NOTHING STOPS THIS TRAIN. THIS IS FROM 2013
It feels like the West is an unstoppable train, hurtling down the tracks; but we are on the wrong tracks, going to the wrong place. Nothing seems to slow this train, let alone reverse it. It’s too big; it’s going too fast. But in this book I’m going to show you a simple method whereby the points on the railway – what Americans call ‘the railroad switch’ – can be changed and the train re-routed. #bitcoin #hardmoney #soundmoney #freedom
Imagine being a “whale” with 80 000BTC and selling it for pieces of paper that J Powell can and will print if he wakes up and Elizabeth Warren isn’t on her knees.. fucking makes no sense why you would do that even for “estate planning”.. #bitcoin
When that crisis occurs (the big print), the actions that are taken depend on the ideas that are lying around. That, I believe, is our basic function: to develop alternatives to existing policies, to keep them alive and available until the politically impossible becomes the politically inevitable.

Old News but scary!
US, President Barack Obama has overseen an administration that, in its first term, increased the national debt by 60%, adding $6 trillion, on top of the $5 trillion Bush added in his two terms. The first 41 presidents only managed $2 trillion combined.
Did the previous government run outta ink or were they actually smarter than Michelles wife? #bitcoin #hardmoney
