Keynes is easily a top 5 most destructive individual of the 20th century.

He’s either embracing getting absolutely worked and leaning into it by trolling or he knows he’s about to spill all of the Deep State election fraud tea and get a cushy pardon and get sent to live in exile on an island for the rest of his life.


Happy New Year, freaks. Have been sitting on this for a decade. Going to enjoy it with my wife tonight.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous 2026.
It may not always seem like it but we’re going to win.


The case for a tax revolt has never been stronger.

Caught a nice block height tonight.


We're going to win.
The bitcoin quantum FUD is just another iteration of “can the devs do something?!”
A bunch of LARPing by people not close to protocol development who have overlooked that “the devs” have been talking about and researching solutions to this “problem” for years.
Since @BtcPins spilled the beans on the RHR live chat, I’ll ask Nostr for feedback. Been working on a site for people to find the best bitcoin products. Still a work in progress and will be cleaning it up and adding to it in the coming days.
Let me know what you think:


Bitcoin Products
Bitcoin Products - Trusted Bitcoin Tools, Wallets & Services
Discover battle-tested Bitcoin products we'd recommend to friends and family. Find trusted exchanges, hardware wallets, Lightning apps, and more.
The Trump administration seems to be leaning into industrial policy in the same way that the politicians of James J Hill's time were in an attempt to build out the American rail system.
Central planning never works, and I find it hard to believe it will work in this context.

A lot of victim mentality from bitcoiners during this chopsolidation phase.
Stop complaining. Attack.
Get your bitcoin off the exchange. Teach others how to self custody. Convince your local Square merchant to turn bitcoin payments on. Move your life to a bitcoin standard.
Skating can teach you so many lessons about life. Rodney Mullen is GOAT'd.

If you are using bitcoin privately, the government will assume you are doing something nefarious and label you an enemy to be dealt with.
This is wrong and it needs to stop.

Earlier today I re-watched this mini-doc on James J Hill and how he succeeded during the railroad boom despite refusing government subsidies that were plentiful at the time.
He focused on efficient capital allocation and investing in civilization.
Part of his success was derived from how simply he set the goals for his company.
"We must operate:
- the fastest locomotives,
- to pull the longest trains,
- with maximum tonnage,
- over the straightest tracks,
- using the least change in elevation,
- with minimal maintenance costs."
Every capital allocation decision he made focused on achieving these goals.
It's hard not to think about the AI boom and all of the government investment going into the sector these days after watching this. How many opportunists are circling their wagons to feed from the government trough at the moment? How efficiently is that easy money going to be allocated?
Who in AI and the booming energy infrastructure industry budding around it is taking the hard but lucrative path that James J Hill took during the railroad boom?
It’s that time of year where I meet my brother in the city to honor our father by continuing the tradition of getting close shaves the day before Thanksgiving.
Cherish every moment with your loved ones.
Honor your mother and father.
The Age of AI Cyberattacks is upon us.
We are operating within a window of time where we have visibility into how these attacks are waged.
Once open-source models and tools catch up, it will be a black box.
Secure your systems now. Complacency kills.

It feels like the internet is breaking much more frequently than it used to.
Are ya having fun yet, son?
The Czech are beating the United States when it comes to bitcoin acceptance. This is unacceptable.
The Czech National Bank is adding bitcoin to its balance sheet while the Department of Justice and SDNY are throwing open source developers in prison.

To say the least, the last five days have been nothing short of a narrative disaster for President Trump and his administration.
He and his cabinet are completely disconnected from the zeitgeist.
Young men are being completely radicalized as a result.
