Bitcoin is the ultimate driver of energy innovation At the heart of human progress is one simple truth: we need more energy to thrive. It’s not just a desire; it’s a necessity. Energy is the key to everything we want for the future, greater innovation, stronger economies, and a better life for everyone. Bitcoin pushes us to embrace this truth. Its design demands more energy, and in doing so, it drives us to find better, cleaner, and more efficient ways to produce it. Bitcoin forces us to move forward. The more energy we harness, the more breakthroughs we unlock, lifting all of humanity to new heights. This isn’t just about making money, it’s about advancing as a species. We need more energy. We need more Bitcoin. Our future depends on it. A future where energy is abundant, where technological progress knows no limits, and where we are all united in building something greater. Bitcoin gives us the incentive to come together, to push harder, and to create a world where energy isn’t a constraint but a source of power that drives us forward. The path is clear: more energy, more innovation, more unity. Our future depends on it. image

How to transfer $10M worth of assets across borders: Let’s consider the options. 1/ Gold is heavy. $10 million in gold (~327 pounds), can be transported via couriers or stored in vaults, but demands extensive security and faces customs scrutiny. 2/ Silver is bulky and impractical $10 million in silver (~25,000 pounds), can be transferred using certificates or custodial services, but its bulk makes physical transport nearly impossible compared to gold. 3/ Diamonds are lightweight and portable $10 million in diamonds (20-30 stones), can be carried or couriered discreetly, though it requires expertise for verification and its value is subjective. 4/ Fine art is valuable but needs documentation $10 million in a single painting, can be securely transported through specialized shippers, but requires proof of authenticity and may involve legal or tax complications. 5/ Luxury watches are compact and valuable $10 million in high-end watches (10-100 pieces), can be carried or shipped, though they need certificates and may face customs checks. 6/ Bitcoin 12/24 words in your mind, Transfer from $10 million to $1 billion, anywhere, with zero physical limitations. Probably nothing...

With the election on the horizon, prepare for X to become even more chaotic as nation-states scramble to distort your perception. Nostr has been a refreshing alternative. Now is the perfect moment to step back, avoid the emotionally charged narratives designed to steer you away from your best interests. Always focus on studying Bitcoin and think critically from first principles.

Bitcoin will become the foundation of a new global financial order, Nations will compete to mine and accumulate Bitcoin as their only hedge against total financial “collapse.” In this new era, Bitcoiners will be the architects of a decentralized world where money, power, and information are no longer controlled by centralized entities but by the individual, marking the ultimate victory of freedom over tyranny. The chaos we see now is just the birth pangs of this inevitable transformation. Embrace the chaos, for it is the sign of Bitcoin’s ascension.

After studying everything that I have studied, my conclusion about #Bitcoin always ends the same: #BTC is the single greatest technological invention of our lifetime. Hear me out, It's a decentralized, peer-to-peer electronic cash system, first adopted by individuals with internet connections. The ramifications of this innovation are hard to imagine and put in to words; it literally changes everything. #Bitcoin is the single most resilient technology in the world. Humans have never built a stronger, more secure computing network. We have never seen a decentralized, open-source software project grow so big and so fast. I believe there will only be 1 globally adopted digital store of value, and my answer is #Bitcoin. Everything else in the crypto "industry" is attempting to be a company, an app, or a "cover" on the fiat system. Bitcoin is the true 0-to-1 innovation. What is your conclusion? 🤔 image

What inspires you about the future? 🤔 For example, For me, it is the union of #Bitcoin, AI, and Longevity. We are reaching a point where we could literally, simultaneously 1. Fight the monopoly of money, 2. Challenge the presumed inevitability of “death.” 3. Wage war against any monopoly in any sector using AI. Amazing times ahead. Prepare accordingly, study immensely, Stay humble, stay diligent.

Everyone is not bullish enough. Many individuals will miss out on the most significant wealth transfer in history due to their lack of understanding of monetary principles. Bitcoin is currently the scarcest asset on Earth, What is the worth of absolute scarcity? 🤔 Throughout history, People have used scarce items as money, sometimes using things like shells, stones or even gold Gold, for example, is "valuable" because it's pretty, doesn't rust, and is easy to shape. But most of its value isn't because of these features. Brass looks similar and is shiny too. Governments own a lot of gold that just sits in vaults, showing they're not interested in its looks, lesson(s) in there, I think. Bitcoiners will have access to every tool at their disposal to help shift the entire world from dystopia towards a closer approximation of utopia. image

No Noise, Just Signal. In a world of smokes and mirrors, Bitcoin will become the only signal of purchasing power, The thirst for knowledge in the Bitcoin space is incredible. I haven't seen this in my entire lifetime. I have come across many fields and delved into them deeply, and Bitcoin is extremely different. Bitcoiners truly want to learn and need signal knowledge; they are not complacent with poor noise and takes. They want depth; they want the betterment of themselves and society. It's truly inspiring to see and to witness such a great group of humans uniting towards a greater good. This only happens because incentives are aligned. Laser eye focused! all the time. image

GenPub is not going to care about Bitcoin until it hits +100k. This is extremely bullish. Right now, it's not even on their radar. You could ask them the price, and they'd say anything from 1k to 60k. lesson(s) in there. image

Time in perspective. - 1M seconds ≈ 0.03 yrs = 12 days. - 1B seconds ≈ 31.7 yrs. - 1T seconds ≈ 32k yrs. protect it with bitcoin. 35T seconds ≈ 1.1M yrs. ABSURD! 🤯 image

Cold storage in a boating accident remains the standard! Unrealized capital gains 101, You bought 1 bitcoin in Sept 2024 for $56k. By the end of the year, it's valued at $100k, but you didn’t sell, leaving you with an unrealized gain of $44k. Under a proposed tax plan, you owe $11k in taxes (25% of $44k). But you didn’t sell, so you don’t have the cash. You pay the taxes out of your savings. You continue to hold until August 2024, and Bitcoin drops to $30k. You LOST $26k on the bitcoin, PLUS you paid taxes on the $44k of “gains” you never actually realized, since they disappeared. Initially, the tax is aimed at $100M+ portfolios, but it sets a precedent. Eventually, it trickles down to everyone. Now, every bitcoiner is at risk of paying taxes on assets they haven’t sold. People stop buying Bitcoin. Adoption "slows" image

The great thing behind the people writing the speeches is that they are making it a point to distinguish between bitcoin and crypto, pretty bullish it you ask me.
