The Federal Reserve is a private banking cabal employing 20,000+ people specifically designed to obfuscate the depth and degree of theft of your energy/work/savings by politicians using fiat. Fiat currencies are designed to steal. #Bitcoin stops this theft.

Look closely. This is a penny I found abandoned in a parking lot. Can you see the problem? If this is happening to a penny it is happening to a dollar: massive debasement. #LearnBitcoin image

People do not want to talk about money for only one of two reasons: Reason 1: they fear they do not have enough money (as self-compared to others around them); Reason 2: they fear they have a lot of money (as self-compared to others around them) and someone will come steal it.

I have a chronic case of FDS (Fiat Derangement Syndrome). I have been prescribed #Bitcoin. It is working.

Intellectual laziness manifested as “monetary ignorance” is the single largest threat to humanity (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness)

Milestone crossed in my Bitcoin journey. My wife has been indifferent to bitcoin in general. I am a full-throttle Bitcoiner. Yesterday for fun, I set up a #SoloSatoshi #Bitaxe home miner. Within minutes my wife began asking good questions about bitcoin miners. This morning she tells me she wants to buy her own Bitaxe miners and set up lottery miners.

Banks are so fucked! I just sent $36,000 worth of fiat to my son on-chain for $0.61 on a Sunday from my recliner while drinking a beer and watching NASCAR with confirmations in less than 5mins. When I use my bank they charge me $40 to send $4,000 to one of my vendors in Asia. God I love Bitcoin! We are so early….

“Money” (fiat monetary systems) are not taught in school out of fear enough people worldwide will realize it is unadulterated theft of your wealth/purchasing power. Now you know. Buy #bitcoin to opt out of the theft. image

Investing is deliberately made complicated to obfuscate the fact all fiat currencies are stealing your purchasing power/wealth through monetary debasement. Most RIA do not even understand this. Yet, they take a piece of the action.

It happened again today. I woke up and all I want to do is talk to people about #macroeconomics and #Bitcoin. What an amazing time to be alive!

Does anyone know what happened to @luke_broyles? I “helped” Luke with his yet to be unreleased bitcoin documentary: “The Case For Bitcoin”. Luke seemingly disappeared from YouTube, X, and NOSTR. The last time I seen/talked with Luke was at Plan B in San Salvador Feb 2025. image

Probably nothing. The non-bitcoiners: “…Bitcoin is going to zero….” 🤣😆🤡 The bitcoiners: “…Bitcoin is going $1,000,000.” Follow the scarcity. image

Being a Bitcoiner is like being a medical doctor walking around in public and all you see is a population of very sick and unhealthy people that you just can not walk up to and offer your medical advise with creating significant controversy.

Once you understand it is a global, theatrical performance ruled by an enlists cabal, fueled by central banks and fiat currencies, you will be able to see all of the clowns in the performance. The exit ramp is to learn about how fiat currencies works then simply opting out of the Ponzi scheme. I suggest you start with "The Price of Tomorrow" by Jeff Booth then "Broken Money" by Lyn Alden. If you make it that far, next read "The Big Print" by Larry Leopard. The magnum opus: "The Bitcoin Standard" by Saifedean Ammous. You are welcome.

We are so early. If you are a Bitcoiner and you have been called “crazy”, “criminal”, “misfit”, etc. Just remember, the population also treated our Founding Fathers of the USA the same way. In the future, early Bitcoiners will be celebrated as heros.

Scarcity and portability are my favorite two attributes of #Bitcoin.

I will attend Plan B in Lugano 2025. Is the “VIP Cyberpunk Pass” worth the upgrade over the general admission pass”?
