Bitcoin might be more popular if it was: - Controlled by a small number of people. - The most popular money for criminals. - Printed at a rate of 7% per year. - Easy to reverse transactions. - Limited by banking hours. But the dollar has a strong monopoly on all of this.

In Mendocino back in the ‘90s we had our own local currency called Seed. Today we can use bitcoin as a local currency, keep value within our community and strengthen our local economy…like they do in Lugano Switzerland, El Zonte El Salvador, Jericoacoara Brazil etc.

If I wanted to live in a society where everything I do on my device is collected, when I walk down the street I’m surveilled, where my car has a kill switch should it think I’m impaired, and where I’m given a social credit score… …I’d move to China.

Weather is a natural phenomenon. Inflation is a man-made phenomenon. Gold is natural scarcity. Bitcoin is man-made scarcity.

America is messy. We’re facing fiscal irresponsibility, forever wars, broken politics… But buried under all that America is still here: neighbors showing decency, entrepreneurs taking risks, the comfort of apple pie and baseball, enduring creativity and can-do attitude that defines us. We can find this America in our daily lives. 🇺🇸

Bitcoin is a pure protocol — no government no corporation, no one controls it. Digital but cash-like: pseudonymous, private, and ideal as a local currency. Nothing like Zelle, PayPal or payment apps where every move is tracked. This is money you actually own and can spend freely.

From Porter Stansberry: On September 30th 1979, the former head of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Arthur Burns, gave a private talk ("The Anguish of Central Banking") to a gathering of the world's wealthiest bankers at a private gathering in Belgrade. This was kept secret from the American people for almost decade. If you read it, you'll see why. Burns warned the world's wealthiest bankers that the entire global financial system would soon be reset. He explained the inevitable failure of the world's new, fiat currency global financial system, just two months before the world's bond markets began an 80%+ collapse. Every American should understand this warning because it is happening again, right now. Burns explained how the Western democracies had turned to debt, financed by inflation, to create the illusion of prosperity. But this prosperity wouldn't last because the inflationary bias would sap the "economic and moral vitality of the democracies." Here are his three most important warnings. These are his words, not mine. #1. "Since 1950, the federal budget has been in balance in only five years. Since 1970, a deficit has occurred in every year. Not only that, but the deficits have been mounting in size. Budget deficits have thus become a chronic condition of federal finance… But when the government runs a budget deficit, it pumps more money into the pocketbooks of people than it withdraws from their pocketbooks; the demand for goods and services therefore tends to increase all around. That is the way the inflation that has been raging since the mid-1960s first got started and later kept being nourished." #2. "What had once been a quiet personal feeling that the future would be better than the past, particularly for one's children, was transformed during the postwar years into an articulate and widespread expectation of steady improvement in living standards — indeed, into a feeling of entitlement to annual increases in real income. But when government takes on the duty of underwriting that entitlement without the productivity to fund it, the only remaining lever is the currency itself. #3. ""In view of the strong and widespread expectations of inflation that prevail at present, I have therefore reluctantly come to believe that fairly drastic therapy will be needed to turn inflationary psychology around." Two months later, Paul Volcker starting raising interest rates and he didn't stop until they were 20%. Anyone who was holding bonds -- or virtually any financial asset -- took enormous losses. It was a global monetary reset. That's how all of this will end. It isn't hard to understand. Your parents probably weren't invited to that secret meeting in Europe. And you probably won't be invited this time, either. But those meetings are happening right now. That's why Trump went to China -- our biggest creditor. (Prepare now. Study bitcoin.)

The price of houses isn't going up; it’s the value of the USD that’s going down.

bitcoin… …is not “crypto.”

We are entering a sovereign debt crisis… …are you prepared?

All your congressperson to Please support/co sponsor… H.R. 8470, the Surveillance Accountability Act. The 4th amendment applied to our digital lives. Thanks.

If the American empire—built on surveillance, corruption, currency manipulation, and inequality—fell… Maybe the real America—decent, creative, relentless in its pursuit of happiness—would finally rise.

OVERALL US INFLATION UP 92% IN THE LAST 25 YEARS While the price of new TVs has collapsed in the first quarter of the 21st century, the things you need to survive like Food (+105%), Housing (+111%) and Hospital Services (+281%) are skyrocketing. Once you see what’s going on bitcoin starts to make sense as an alternative.

If you use the dollar you’re having value secretly stolen from you. How? Because those “prices” going up are actually the purchasing power of the dollar going down. This system benefits government in debt at the expense of citizens trying to get by. Study bitcoin.

It’s already started here on the coast and across Mendocino County where Flock surveillance cameras are being set up on our streets. Three technologies are converging in ways that deserve our attention: - CBDCs (central bank digital currencies) that enable financial surveillance - pervasive camera networks that track movement - digital ID systems that bind it all together. Separately, each is presented as beneficial. Together, they create the infrastructure for total visibility—a digital pentopticon where financial activity, location, and identity are monitored at scale. This isn’t inevitable. We have tools to push back: ✓ Encrypted, peer-to-peer financial systems like Bitcoin that operate outside central control ✓ Privacy-protective technologies (Signal, Tor, end-to-end encryption) ✓ Political pressure for strong data protection laws and warrant requirements ✓ Support for decentralized alternatives to centralized systems ✓ Local economic resilience—cash, community networks, local trade The question isn’t whether the technology can be built. It’s whether we’ll demand the guardrails—legal, technical, and cultural—that keep it from becoming surveillance infrastructure. That requires awareness first.

Now you can… …study bitcoin.
