Is it safe to assume the US dollar is done as world reserve currency?

Somewhere in Austria, a bald German and an Israeli woman are sweating out their convictions three feet apart. One wants vengeance for October 7th. One can't fully explain what he wants vengeance for. Both are certain. Both are wrong. This is not a geopolitics piece. It's a mirror. And mirrors are uncomfortable.

The Steam Room Verdict

Two programs walk into a steam room. One German, one Israeli. Both are certain. Both are wrong.

Finally some good news, confirmed by NASA satellites since 1984. Bottom line. You are not the problem. You are the solution.

Some say history repeats itself. But maybe it's more satiric than that — maybe it's a faulty simulation stuck in a loop, playing the same four bars of imperial overreach like a vinyl needle that can't find its groove. Take the Battle of Carrhae, 53 BC, and the events leading up to it, as narrated by the formidable Dr. Roy Casagranda. Try not to spot the parallels to what's unfolding across the Middle East today.

THE JIANG SIMULATION SPEAKS So far 1,442 strangers have voted on whether Jiang hits the mark with his end-of-the-world projections. If belief manifests reality, we are in for quite a ride. Seventy-seven percent believe the US stock market crashes. Sixty-eight percent believe the petrodollar collapses. Not a recession — a monetary architecture failure. The system that has organized global trade since Bretton Woods, gone. Sixty-four percent believe Al-Aqsa gets destroyed. That number deserves a breath. Jiang claims an Israeli demolition crew is already tunneling underneath the mosque. If the third holiest site in Islam comes down — by explosion, by accident, by any means — two billion Muslims become religiously obligated to respond. Not politically motivated. Theologically obligated. There is no de-escalation protocol for that. Seventy-five percent of voters believe programmable digital identity is either already live or arriving. Three-quarters of strangers on the internet called the mark of the beast incoming without flinching. Then the resistance kicks in. Iran wins — sixty percent say no. US military draft — fifty-one percent no. The pattern is consistent: people believe in the cascade right up to the point where it lands on their doorstep. Financial collapse — yes. Geopolitical order gone — yes. Their own sons conscripted — no. We believe in floods until the water reaches the door. Cast your vote on each domino at

The Jiang Simulation

Ten dominoes. One direction. The geopolitical cascade nobody wants to believe is on schedule.

I stumbled on Professor Jiang’s history and predictions about the monetary system only a week or so ago, and was blown away by how he managed to simplify a genuinely complex topic on the chalkboard. Then I started listening to his Iran-Israel war analysis, and suddenly saw him everywhere — from Tucker Carlson to Breaking Points to Glenn Diesen’s show — prompting me to dig into his background. A high-school teacher with a BA in English Literature from Yale — not a professor — based in Beijing, teaching high-school kids, who then blew onto the world stage hitting nearly two million YouTube followers in no time. These kinds of meteoric celebrity rises from zip more often signal a messenger than a lucky erudite, so I dug even further. Whose agenda was he driving? His war predictions had a perfect track record. Was he a CCP implant, a Nostradamus clone, or a predictive programming missionary? Regardless of the truth, his eschatological framework analysis sounds so insane, and at the same time explains so many factors driving world events, that I was digging into his YouTube clips way past my bedtime. I’ve summarized the eschatological framework below. It sounds like the end of the world, but don’t let that bother you. To stay sane in today’s world, we need to consider it from the perspective of Plato’s Cave: what else can they throw at the avatar, while the avatar stays centered. This is not a dark analysis — it could actually explain a lot of the driving forces behind the insanity unfolding in the Middle East, and the almost immediate crisis cascade that has begun to take place in the West.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I’ve always been fascinated by the control mind, the way you’re fascinated by a beautiful trap. You can admire the engineering while knowing exactly what it’s for. The complete absence of sentimentality about living things. The instinct, when confronted with anything breathing and unpredictable, to immediately ask: what are the inputs, what are the outputs, how do we reduce the noise? It took me half a century to recognize those tendencies in myself — otherwise I wouldn’t be able to spot them in the geniuses who engineer our planet.

Breathe like your life depends on it. Because it does. I recently read James Nestor's book Breath and was struck by how transformative--and how quietly obvious--its central argument is. For anyone already focused on nutrition, sunlight, movement, and stress management, breathing turns out to be a missing piece hiding in plain sight. The way we breathe shapes oxygen delivery, sleep quality, nervous-system regulation, and even the structure of the face and airway itself. So I dug deeper into the research behind it. The sources are listed at the end of this article. For those who don't have time to read the full book or the surrounding literature, what follows is a summary of the core mechanisms, advantages, and practical protocols.

GREATER ISRAEL: Beyond the Conspiracy Theories and the Censorship From biblical borders to balkanized neighbors — who is driving this vision, who benefits, and where does it end? The Greater Israel project sits at the intersection of ancient scripture, modern statecraft, evangelical theology, and imperial strategy. It has been dismissed as conspiracy theory. Celebrated as divine prophecy. Analyzed in academic journals, denounced at the United Nations, and quietly operationalized in the foreign policy of the most powerful nation on earth. Most writers — human, AI, or some combination — will soft-step around this. The risk is real. Say the wrong thing and you are fried online. Maybe offline too. The new battleground is algorithms. Netanyahu himself said it recently: opinions and beliefs are now formed in social media before they manifest in geopolitical reality. Which is precisely why, in the middle of the current escalation, understanding what is actually driving Middle East policy matters more than ever. What follows is an AI-assisted analysis hard-wired to approach this as objectively as the data allows. No predetermined villain. No agenda. Just the question: who is behind the Greater Israel project, why, and what is the endgame?

This is an actual White House release. We’ve gone from 100% senile to 100% juvenile. Not a coincidence. Both target the middle of the bell curve—people stripped of nutrients, sense, meaning, and dopamine, still clinging to Left or Right. Now add AI to the mix. Shake. Stir. Reality disappears. The perfect cocktail of control.

JAILBREAKING REALITY WITH DMT Most people swallow the life they're given and call it a choice. Matteus didn't buy it at five. By 18, DMT started pulling back the curtain -- the money lie, the food lie, the career lie, the relationship lie. Then the guides showed up and pointed him toward a sovereign path. At 25, he quit his job and jumped into the abyss. We talk about the triggers, what the molecule taught him, and the question underneath all of it -- can DMT free you from the matrix?

This is my favorite Epstein email so far. Epstein and WEF CEO Børge Brende plotting to replace the UN with Davos two years before the plandemic—essentially dismantling the global governance structure. Epstein was pulling levers for the Great Reset as a Rothschild runner. No wonder they needed to compromise key political and business players to make them play ball—using whatever they could be blackmailed with. Hence the remarkable ability of perverts to rise to the top and then support the most insane directives: mass migration, global shutdowns, gender-affirming surgeries, total surveillance, DEI regulations, the Great Reset, the elimination of independent farming, the replacement of meat with cockroach powders, WHO regulations, and the rest of the novel decrees designed to disempower the public. At this stage, we have to assume that every political leader with any real influence over world affairs is compromised, with a remote vibrator up their amygdala. They are right in one sense. A Great Reset is overdue. Just not the kind they imagined.

Volcán de Santa Ana, with Lago de Coatepeque in the foreground—a volcanic crater lake—hovering above the early-morning glints of San Salvador. Some 50–70,000 years ago, the volcano emptied its magma chamber, collapsed inward, and spewed the valley with molten lava, forging some of the most fertile land on Earth. Biting into a mango from this region feels like stepping through the gates of heaven. A reminder that life erupts from obliteration. Just like with #bitcoin - every four years.

Satoshi Nakamoto on Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador, keeping chill under the scorching sun. There is a German expression that summarizes the Saroshi chill: “Nur die Harten kommen in den Garten.” Meaning, “Only the tough (hodlers) get into the garden (of Eden).” From Ben Hart: “New Bitcoin holders are asking me about the big 46% price drop since the $126,000 high in October. Nothing to worry about folks. Zoom out. #Bitcoin is doing exactly what it always does. Bitcoin's four-year Bull & Bear cycles run like clockwork, in accordance with the four-year Halving Cycle. I'll explain "Halving" later in this post (for the uninitiated). But what always happens is Bitcoin's price peaks every four years and tends to crash quickly to a low roughly matching the previous four-year price peak. So Bitcoin peaked at around $17,000 a coin in December of 2017, then quickly crashed to around $3,400 in 2018. The price then rose to a peak of around $63,000 in November of 2021 (four years later), then crashed to around $16,000 in 2022 -- which was right around the $17,000 peak of the previous four-year cycle. Bitcoin then rose to a peak of around $126,000 in October of 2025 -- almost exactly four years after the previous peak in November 2021. What does this mean? It means it's very likely Bitcoin will drop to around $60,000 -- which was the peak price of the previous four-year cycle. After that, it seems likely Bitcoin's next big peak will be in November of 2029, probably hitting in the $240,000 to $300,000 range. (Price is also affected by external factors, such as state of the economy, public psyschology, etc) As Bitcoin matures, the four-year cycles moderate in terms of price fluctuation. So instead of 85-75% crashes that we used to see, we see 50% crashes as Bitcoin behaves more and more like Gold. I had hoped we would see the end of the four-year cycle as big Wall Street money got in the game, but this is not the case. We still have the four-year price fluctuation cycle. It's just moderating -- which is actually what we want. We want Bitcoin to behave more like gold in terms of price. Now, it's important to remember why we own Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a store of value, similar to gold. It's "digital gold" that can also be used to transact with. The problem with gold is that you can't really transact with gold. You can't easily move gold. Try sending your gold bar from New York to London and see how much that will cost you, just in insurance cost and transport fees alone. And see what happens if you if you try to carry your gold bar across a border or through an airport. So gold is a great store of value. But that's all it is. You can't transact with it. You can't move it. So then gold necessarily becomes very centralized. You must store your gold with third-parties. This makes your gold very confiscatable -- by government (if you have tax problems) or if you lose a civil lawsuit. Bitcoin overcomes all these problems. Bitcoin is unconfiscatable if you self-custody. Bitcoin is also uncensorable if you self-custody -- meaning no third-party can block your transactions. If you are storing your wealth in a bank or on E-Trade, your wealth really is not yours. It can be confiscated at any time -- by the government or in a civil lawsuit. If you withdraw $10,000 or more from your bank, the IRS is alerted. Democrats want to make the level $500 for when the IRS is alerted. Furthermore, we are moving into an era where there will be no cash transactions (or very few). All money (or almost all) issued by government will be digital and programmable (CBDCs). This means government will be able to program your digital money to only be able to buy things approved by government. This is happening in China where programmable money is being used to enforce its "social credit" system. In China, if you have a low "social credit" score, you can't eat at good restaurants, can't ride public transport, can't get a good job, can't go to a good school. You become a social and economic outcast if you have a low "social credit" score. If too low, you end up in a reeducation camp or a slave labor camp. Democrats want a "social credit score" system for us. Bitcoin counters this. Bitcoin is your off-ramp from the coming "social credit score" system we will have if Democrats win back the Presidency in 2028. This is why we own Bitcoin. Bitcoin removes humans from the governance of the money -- automates the money. This is crucial because humans are prone to corruption. When humans control the money they tend to grab the money. The way government grabs your money is through taxation and mostly by printing more money. Bitcoin protects you from this. Bitcoin separates money from state. Bitcoin is the Second Amendment for your money. Bitcoin is FREEDOM MONEY. We must remember this, especially during these periods of price declines every four years, which happen like clockwork -- entirely predictable. Then these price declines are followed by exponential price increases. Happens every four years, and this is tied to the four-year "Halving Cycle." What is the "Halving Cycle"? Well, every four years, the supply of new Bitcoins entering circulation is cut in half. Right now, 3.125 Bitcoins enter circulation every 10 minutes through a process called "mining" -- which I won't cover here. In April of 2028, the supply of new Bitcoins entering circulation every 10 minutes will be cut to from 3.125 to 1.5625 Bitcoin's price will rise in anticipation of this event (starting in the second half of this year) as it always does every four years. As supply contracts, the price predictably rises. The Bitcoin system operates very much like a clock. It's very predictable over four-year time-frames. But all you really need to know is that there will never be more than 21 MILLION Bitcoins for 8 BILLION people. 19.9 MILLION Bitcoins have been mined so far. This means only 1.1 MILLION Bitcoins remain to be mined . . . for 8 BILLION people. The Bitcoin price is volatile because most of the world (95%) still doesn't understand Bitcoin. In terms of adoption, Bitcoin is where the Internet was in 1998. But as more and more people come to understand Bitcoin and become comfortable holding and using Bitcoin, we will wonder why we every trusted the government with our money. And we will wonder why we ever paid banks to hold our money and paid credit card companies to allow us to buy things. Now let's review why we own Bitcoin: 1) Bitcoin is unconfiscatable, uncensorable money -- if you self-custody (don't store your Bitcoin on an exchange). 2) Bitcoin is the only truly decentralized money or crypto asset. This is the miracle of Bitcoin. It achieved true decentralization -- meaning Bitcoin is not owned or controlled by anyone or any small group. No other money or crypto asset can say this. Ethereum (the #2 crypto asset by market cap, or about 15% the size of Bitcoin) is under the control of its creator, Vitalik Buterin -- so is actually an unregistered security. Ethereum has been failing in recent years. And Ethereum is not trying to compete with Bitcoin as decentralized digital money. Ethereum says its trying to be a decentralized world computer for decentralized applications (which has not worked well). Other attempts to complete with Bitcoin as decentralized digital money (i.e. Litecoin, Monero) lost the competition and are tiny compared to Bitcoin. And in technology, it tends to be winner take all or most. Bitcoin runs on its own in accordance with a fixed set of rules that can never change -- the most important rule being: There will never be more than 21 MILLION Bitcoins for 8 Billion people. 3) Bitcoin allows you to be your own bank. You never have to trust a third party with your money again. You never have to beg your bank for your own money. That's what makes Bitcoin FREEDOM MONEY. Bitcoin turns you into a sovereign individual, not at the mercy of government or anyone. Bitcoin is "Fu*ck You" money. 4) Bitcoin protects you from the government's fiat money printing press -- the government's criminal counterfeiting operation. Consider this. When the United States abandoned the gold standard completely in 1971, one ounce of gold cost $35. Today, once ounce of gold is $5,000 an ounce. So the dollar has lost 99% of its value since 1971. In other words, instead of paying $50,000 for an average car today, you should be paying $500 for the same car. Let that sink in. Fiat money printing by government is 100% taxation over time. And it's unlegislated taxation. Congress never has to pass another tax increase. The government just prints up more money -- as much as it wants -- prints up enough to cover the interest payments on the $39 TRILLION National Debt (soon to be $100 TRILLION). Bitcoin protects you from this. 5) With Bitcoin, you can move unlimited wealth instantly with a few keystrokes -- and need no one's permission to do so. If you have a hundred thousand dollars or a million dollars or a billion dollars, you can send it anywhere instantly for a few dollars. It would take days or weeks to get your bank to sign off on a transaction like this (if your bank signs off on this at all). And the IRS would be alerted. Or you can just store it on the blockchain where no one but you can access it. There are more possibilities for private Bitcoin key codes than there are atoms in the known universe. CONTRAST BITCOIN WITH GOLD . . . You can't move gold. You can't transact with gold. You have to trust a third party with your gold. When you buy gold, you need to be an expert to know if your gold is diluted, or pay an expert to confirm you are buying what you think you are buying. And then you must trust this expert. You must pay a third party a lot of money to store your gold. You could try to store it yourself -- perhaps bury it in the ground. But someone might see you burying it -- might see you out there with a shovel and wonder what your are burying. This is why Bitcoin is such a revolutionary asset. Bitcoin allows you to become a completely mobile, sovereign, and free individual. If all Hell breaks loose here or we become a totalitarian country (very likely if Dems win in 2028), Bitcoin allows you to carry your wealth with you -- on tiny piece of paper or in your head if you can remember 24 words. You can't do that with gold. That's why we own Bitcoin. And that's why I don't pay much attention to these very predictable price fluctuations.
