You know what the last 4-5 years taught me?
You have to be a warrior in this life.
It is so easy to get complacent, comfortable, and domesticated. But you leave yourself vulnerable to predators if you let yourself go.
A warrior mentality is necessary, no matter how well off you are. It doesn't necessarily mean that you're violent. It just means that you're capable of defending yourself.
Mind, body, and spirit. You have to be constantly getting stronger and smarter. More resilient.
As brutal as this decade has been so far, it has been a much needed wake up call. There are dangerous enemies out there that want to harm you and me. They want to attack us and take our stuff.
The wise move is to make it extremely difficult for them to be successful with their attacks. Take nothing for granted.
Really disturbing: Bitcoiner and aspiring Presidential candidate in Suriname, Maya Parabhoe, appears to be in distress. Posting on X minutes ago:
"Help.
Life and family unde threat. SOS"
Not sure what we can do right now, but say a prayer and follow the story. One of our own may be under attack.

I really wanted to believe Trump - Vance would be good for the American people. And you know what, the pro-Bitcoin stuff they're doing I see as a real positive.
But man, this Israel shit is ruining them for me. The Presidency and the Congress are still feckless puppets for the military industrial complex and/or the Israel lobby. The Proof of Weapons network as Simon Dixon describes it.
Same shit different day. Ah well. Stay humble and stack sats it is. Control what you can control. π«‘

A shortcut for understanding geopolitics:
If an organization includes the words "world," "international," "united," or "union" in its name, it is an organized crime racket.
Western institutions that lost all credibility between 2014 - 2024:

The whole damn thing is being held together with glue sticks and bubble gum. I think most throughout society are still in denial though. Or sound asleep.
Clown world.
The world is ruled by organized, violent, criminal con artists.
Once you realize this, world events begin to make a ton of sense.

For 99% of people, the best strategy for wealth preservation is saving, not investing.
Investing requires a high level of intelligence, skill, and emotional regulation. I'd bet there are only a few hundred thousand people on the planet who are truly cut out for investing in equities. I'm almost definitely not one of them.
For everyone else, the simple strategy is best.
Produce something of value. Save in hard money. Get on with enjoying your life. Simple and effective.

I'm at the point in my #Bitcoin journey where I truly DGAF what's going on in the macro.
I buy a little bit every day. When I have large fiat inflows I smash buy a lump sum. I transfer from the exchange to my multi-sig vault effortlessly.
Psychopath mode from here on out. Fuck the fiat overlords. Their time is up.
Good morning fellow Brutal Americans

GM, beware the Ides of March.
The Uncle Jack (Dr. Jack Kruse) rabbit hole is pretty incredible.
What I am essentially getting out of it is that there's been a multi-decade effort by the military industrial complex to turn all of society into a blue lit casino.
That way, everyone's dumb and docile, and they can control everyone's minds. They can plug whatever narrative they want into the screens, and everyone will lap it up. (Cough COVID cough) Hand up, I was fooled just like almost everyone else.
The only way to fight back is to get off your goddamn phone, laptop, or TV screens and get your eyes and your skin into the sun.
It seems ludicrous, but I'm not gonna lie, I can see periods in my life where I was isolating myself inside, glued to screens, and I felt absolutely awful.
Absolutely diabolical. This is gonna be a tough one for most of the world to accept. We are SO damn addicted to our screens.

Where does one find the conviction to keep holding #Bitcoin through the volatility?
May I suggest mathematics and the law of supply and demand?
As Parker Lewis likes to say, "there is too much debt and too few dollars." That is still the case today.
Is there a possibility that the masters of the fiat monetary system let the debt unwind? Sure, there is a possibility. But the implications of that are so awful (Great Depression 2.0) that I don't see it happening.
Most likely we will see some short term pain, possibility even a recession in '25. And then at a certain point, the Fed prints, floods the system with liquidity, lowers interest rates, and BTC goes bananas to the upside.
I am willing to risk the crippling downside of a severe deflationary event because I believe the probability of inflation to be much higher.
Plus, if we have another Great Depression, the banks will lose an entire generation's trust. It will be all over for them. I don't see them being willing to go completely belly up.
So we HODL on. Printer is (likely) coming.
