Morning . Coffee’s ready. A new day. Start visualizing the future. (Cream? Sugar?) What do we want? Prosperity. Peace. Purpose. (There’s a spoon in the drawer.) Privacy and freedom. Technology that doesn’t extract attention. (Pull up a chair and join us.) Stability. The present doesn’t last forever.

Goodnight everyone.

Imagine your town is reliant on junk food that’s making everyone sick and increasingly dependent on pharmaceuticals. But you’ve discovered fresh organic food that’s healthy, and you want to share this knowledge to improve the lives of your neighbors. Now imagine your town is reliant on fiat currency that’s making everything unaffordable and increasingly driving people into debt. But you’ve discovered sound money that can be used and saved for a better future, and you want to share this knowledge to improve the lives of your neighbors, too. Study Bitcoin.

For how much longer will humanity have to put up with “leaders?” The vast majority of people just want to do a day’s work, raise their children, have dinner in the evening and pursue happiness. In the meantime the world is constantly dragged into chaos by “leaders.”

There are 6 branches of government of differing levels of equality: - Executive - Legislative - Judicial - Intelligence - Military - Bureaucratic

In a world drowning in debt and inflation imagine a small coastal community where the economy is strong because bitcoin is the local currency.

It just occurred to me that in the course of talking to people about the problems with the current financial system, how it drives wealth inequality and how bitcoin fixes this…I come across as a raving nut case.

Bitcoin is a high-IQ, low-time-preference asset in a world addicted to DoorDash, dopamine, and debt. Holding Bitcoin requires patience, conviction, and the ability to not panic when CNBC tells you it’s dead for the 47th time. That rules out, oh I don’t know - 95% of the population? This isn’t some egalitarian revolution. This is a cognitive filter disguised as a monetary network. The rich, the strategic, the elite - those who understand volatility as opportunity - will stack the hardest asset on Earth while the masses beg for interest rate cuts and $600 stimmies to buy groceries they can't afford. It's not a level playing field. It's a time-preference war, and Bitcoin is the scoreboard. And every cycle, we watch it happen again. The media ridicules it, the politicians fear it, and the smart money buys more. While fiat punishes savers and rewards financial nihilism, Bitcoin inverts the whole structure. It’s a vault for those who can delay gratification, think generationally, and understand that true wealth is preserved rather than printed. The game isn’t rigged. It’s just calibrated for adults. ~Adam Livingston

Bitcoin isn't real! It's not physical! Yeah? Neither is the number seven, but I bet you'd notice if your bank balance dropped by seven figures. Let me break the spell for you: money has never been "real." Money is a collective hallucination—a social construct we all agree to pretend exists so we don't have to barter chickens for dental work. Gold wasn't money because it fell from heaven with "LEGAL TENDER" stamped on it. We picked gold because it was the least-bad physical object that checked the boxes: - Scarce - Durable - Divisible - Portable - Verifiable It was the analog solution to our shared idea. But here's the thing about analog: it's slow, heavy, and requires armed guards. And here's the thing about humans: we engineer better tools. We went from abacus to iPhone. From carrier pigeons to satellites. From gold bars locked in vaults to Bitcoin—verified by thermodynamics, secured by energy, and transmitted at the speed of light. Bitcoin is the digital versioin of money. Just like X is the digital version of town hall. Gold was the best we could do for many centuries. Bitcoin is what we can do now that we have cryptography, distributed consensus, and proof-of-work anchored in physics. Your grandpa trusted gold because he could hold it. You trust Bitcoin because you can verify it. One required faith in a metal. The other requires faith in math. Guess which one has never been debased, diluted, or confiscated by executive order? The concept of money is a human mental construct. Always has been. Always will be. The only question is: do you want your construct built on scarcity enforced by governments—or scarcity enforced by code? Gold was monetary technology for the industrial age. Bitcoin is monetary technology for the information age. Welcome to the upgrade.

Dear Governor Newsom Please can we have a suspension of the overly zealous California gas tax until this whole Hormuz/Iran war that’s not a war thing is sorted out? Thank you, (A downtrodden pleb.)

I’m not a Luddite. I don’t believe in breaking things. But I do believe that certain things - like nukes and total information awareness - just shouldn’t be used.

“If every millionaire in the U.S. asked their financial advisor to get them one Bitcoin, there wouldn’t be enough." - Larry Fink | Chairman and CEO of BlackRock.

There’s nothing like a warm spring evening sitting out on the front porch with a cold beer, listening to the birds sing and scrolling endlessly on Instagram searching for people to be jealous of.

In 2014 a 19-year-old MIT student raised $500,000 and gave every undergraduate on campus $100 in Bitcoin. Most of them spent it on sushi. That sushi cost them $44 million. — Jeremy Rubin was a sophomore studying computer science. He raised $500,000 from alumni and Bitcoin enthusiasts and in October 2014 gave every undergraduate student at MIT $100 worth of Bitcoin about a third of a coin at $336 per $BTC. — 3,108 students signed up — The experiment became the first academic study on Bitcoin adoption ever conducted. — One in ten students cashed out within two weeks. — One in four had sold by 2017 — The ones who forgot about it entirely did the best. — The most common way students spent their Bitcoin was at a single sushi restaurant called Thelonious Monkfish. — The only place on campus accepting Bitcoin at the time. — One student estimated that half the people he knew spent their entire $100 on fish. — One student spent hers on two sushi dinners and forgot the rest existed. — In 2021 she found her wallet still sitting untouched. — Her $100 of Bitcoin was worth $13,000. — If every single student had done nothing the entire $500,000 experiment would be worth ove $110 million today — One student told reporters "Most of us thought it was a bit of a joke" The smartest students at the most prestigious engineering university on earth were given free Bitcoin in 2014 and spent it on sushi. The ones who forgot they had it became the winners. People often think bitcoin is an investment. In reality it is hard money with an absolute fixed supply of 21 million. That’s why its purchasing power increases over time.

An automobile has one purpose: to carry a person of discernment from where they are to where they wish to be. Nothing more is asked. Nothing more is offered. Discretion is about not tracking where you go. Privacy is about not recording what you say. Respect is about not studying your face to determine whether you are fit to hold the wheel. This automobile does none of these things. Nor will it presume to drive you autonomously. The road ahead belongs to you. As it always has. Some things need not be invented. They need only be preserved.
