Honest question. What is a “good” target net income (as a percentage) for a small business with $750K in gross revenue?

Who has given @luke_broyles money for production of his movie “The Case for Bitcoin” that he never produced? I did, but now I feel like Luke took advantage of me and took the money then ran away. Luke claimed @Breedlove22 contributed $2500. Zero communication from Luke since giving him $4,000. I ran into Luke at Plan B in San Salvador in Feb 2025. He was very nervous with no clear explanation. I explained just be honest with me. No real response or deliverable on the movie. Now, I am realizing, that money is gone and no movie. No good deed goes unpunished. I have been extremely patient with Luke. If you are a friend of Luke, I ask you please encourage him to contact me. I want a movie or my money back. Period. Is there any additional information out there exposing this seeming fraudulent solicitation from Luke? Embarrassing for me, but I live and learn: trust no one. I do know Like is working for #TheBitcoinAdvisor network by @PeterBTCAdviser. Not a good image for Peter who I respect immensely. Maybe Peter has some insight into Luke?

The single biggest hurdle stopping you from accepting fiat currency is pure theft and fraud is the sheer scale and depth of the deception. Just because it is global does not make it true. Fiat currency and central banking is a massive fraud. I proffer, you are suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.

Looks like “Woke” strikes again: Chipotle in trouble. I like the food: the culture is terrible. I stopped eating #Chipotle after a blue-haired, “woke” manager swept my order into the trash when I asked her to correct an overcharge: charged for steak when I ordered chicken. Just like Budweiser, I will never buy Chipotle again.

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.
