The USA Macro Economic Model Series: Episode 1: Why the Heck do you need a Macro Economic Model? Is the USA economy actually growing if you measure everything in barrels of oil or Tesla’s? How huge is the debt and why is it unstustainable? The numbers please! What happens with the consumers, the profits of Mainstreet businesses if there is a huge debt crisis and the economy contracts with 5% and unemployment increases with 7% in 5 years? Will rasing the tarifs backfire and explode in the faces of the ones that raise tarifs and why you will ultimately pay for it? And finally: what happens if the USA adopts the Bitcoin Treasury Policy of Micheal Saylor, like Microstrategy did? All big questions you cannot normally answer! The USA economy is the largest economy in the world, but there is nobody explaining how it works to you. I’m a macro economist. And I have already created 12 macro economic models of 12 countries in the world. I have trained senior policy advisors of huge countries like Namibia, Kenyia, Zambia, and also small countries like Suriname, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica, Aruba and Sint Lucia. Why would you care? Because with these macro economic models you get a feeling of : - the numbers, how big, how small - the trends om the numbers, is it increasing or decreasing and how much? - how key economic processes work: what happens to unemployment when inflation cannot be controlled by the Federal Reserve? - How it affects you: what is the purchasing power of the average American going? - what could happen if something happens: what if we raise the tarifs on China or Europe with say 100%? Spoiler alert: it will hurt you badly! How can we create such a model? What are the steps? It is not easy to pull it off to create a macro economic model! Not many can do that! Yes, you could create a simple spreadsheet with some basic formulas that work on each other. But creating a fully functional macro economic model is different game. Especially if you want ordinary people like you reading this, with no Phd in mathemactics and Economics, like my mentor dr Van Schaaijk, -retired - to use it, understand it. Especially if you want to democratize and decentralize the economic discussion, like what I’m about to do!! Yes: I don’t want you to sit and watch the Federal Reserve Board talk about how they are monitoring inflation and why they cut interest rates by 0.25 percent. I want you to grab that USA economic model - a spreadsheet - and gather some 5 of your friends, business partners or your family around a table, hook that hdmi cable into that screen you normally watch Netflix on and say: Hey what does this chart tell me? Ohhh that is M2, the Supply of currency? Wow is that how it is growing? Where is the source, click here. Yes. Ok this guy Runy did not create these numbers. They come from the FED website. Ok. Why is this going up? And what if we increase this with say another 4 trillion here in this year? Lets do that, click! Oh look at that! That inflation! Oh consumption now going down! I want you to be able to do that!!! Why? Because I care about you. Your education. And educating yourself is the only way I know you can maintain your wealth and grow your wealth. How I’m going to do it! I’m going to do it like this: I will write what I do, gather data here on Nostr at least once a week!! These posts in this series are my commitment to you! These posts are my communication with you!! You can read, comment, highlight anything you want. You can ask questions. You can participate and even be critical. You can support this by sending me sats! On another post I discussed what my sales target is for this year, and possibly the next 10 years in BTC!! So you van communicate with me. If you send me sats just let me know your country in the tag so I know where you are from. That is for me to know how many people from USA, China, Europe, Latin America are interested in the USA economy and want to understand it. I will open source it. Yes, once I gather the data I will open source the data on my Github account! So there you will see a folder with all the data, all the spreadsheets and the python code I create to analyze the USA economy. Why? Because I want to decentralize the knowledge about the USA economy! I want you to understand each formula and even build upon it. I will organize online sessions to discuss the USA economy for the Bitcoin community. If you are an employee working and saving in Bitcoin, if you are a small business owner having a Bitcoin treasury policy and saving in Bitcoin, if you are a Bitcoin Maxi, Tripple Maxi, Bitvoij Influencer, I want you to be able to dive deeper. In the online sessions I will prepare a topic, I will prepare some scenarios, update the USA macro model with the latest data and share it. Discuss about scenarios, answer questions. You will see me running scenarios and discussing these. Once the USA Macro Model is ready I will run these sessions every quarter. These sessions will be paid. How can you support this? You can by sending me sats. You can by asking questions. You can by sharing this post with others, especially in the groups of people I mentioned above. You can by helping me gather data. You can by telling me about how YOU think the USA economy works. I’m here to learn. See you in the next episode where I discuss the 57 indicators we need about the USA economy. Runy image

Imagine the Central Banks kept their Currency supply flat Check the image below. It is the Currency Supply called M2 of the Europe! It goes almost staight up in a line! In math you can get that like as y = ax + b a is the coefficient. X is the time. And b is the interception. It looks like b is 1 trillion (when x is 0). And it looks like a is 4/10 is 0.4. Y = 0.4x +1 There you have it. That is the monetary policy of Ms. Christine Lagarde of the European Central Bank and her predecessors of the past 40 years. You can calculate yourself when the Y (that is the currency supply) will double. For that use the equation 2*Y above. And you see the rate of growth looks like 0.4. Every year, 0.4 added. Trillion. 0.4 Trillion, isn’t that 400 billion Euros added every year!! Isn’t that crazy??? It is!! We have to take a look at the amount of stuff that is produced by Europe every year. To see how much it grows. And how flat that line is compared to the M2 line above. M2 is the measure of the currency supply the European Central Bank uses. Look how Crazy this gets!! The European Central bank targets inflation. That is a measure of how fast a basket of goods and services that nobody actually buys increases in value. But “they” are at the source of the problem. They control the money printer. Lets call it the currency printer. So here is how it works. You increase the currency supply at 400 billion per year in a straight line. It means you print more currency no matter if the economy is producing more stuff or not. And you monitor how fast the money becomes worthless (= inflation). So you print currency and you messure and try to control how fast that currency turns back into worthless paper. What would happen if the European Central Bank flattens the line. a = 0. Well a= 0 means some people and businesses are in real trouble! a = 0 means you have a flat line!! No currency growth any more!! That is basically what Bitcoin is! It is capped! Bitcoin is of course growing, but it is maxed! After a certain period when all the Bitcoin is created it will not grow any more! Imagine Ms Christine Lagarde and all the future Presidents of the European Central Bank doing that! A fixed Currency policy!! That would change expectations completely. Set it in stone! No politician can ever incrase the European currency supply more than say 16 trillion! Can you imagine what that would mean? But Europe is not adapting a Bitcoin strategy. Europe is currently not embracing Bitcoin like the new Trump administration. Have you heard Europe do anything to solve the massive problems like aging, migration, energy crisis, war on its soil? Increasing production, making the environment more innovative so companies can grow? I have not. In another post I therefore said why I decided to focus on Europeans that adopt and embrace Bitcoin! If you are here let me know you are. You can do it by just swnding me a sat and add your European country to the message. If the European Central bank continues with its policy based on 400 Billion per year, and the European economy doesn’t grow physically, you know that the Euro will become less and less worth. And that the inflation will fontinue for ever. And that in every future dip of the growth of the economy the European Central Bank will turn the currency printing press again to print a notch faster. In this case the only profitable thing to invest in in Europe is paper and ink producing companies. Let me know what you think Runy image

Testing Blink Wallet to Primal.net wallet In 2025 I want to move my activities from centralized social media - Linkedin - Youtube to more decentralized social media like Nostr and Keet. What are rhe benefits and why should you also consider it? 1. Centralized media owns your post while on decentralized media you can take your posts anywhere wit you. 2. On Decentralized Social media they own Bitcoin and on Centralized Social media they own fiat - US dollars Think a little bit about that! In my previous post I said that my target is to get 0.01 BTC per day. Check that post above, so you see why I set my goals in BTC terms and I’m not measuring my time and work in US dollars any more in 2025. If your goal is to earn BTC, who owns more BTC: the millions of people on Linkedin, Youtube and Facebook or… the maybe thousands and ten thousands of people on Decentralized Social Media? Like Nostr and Keet? YES!!! You got it right! Those 19 million Bitcoins are in the hands of the few. The 1% of the global population! And they are NOT in the hands of the 99% on Centralized Social media. Once you realize this your business world view shifts. Am I going to target thousands of people and “eyeballs” on Youtube and Linkedin that have US dollars that can be printed endlessly? Or am I going to focus on the few maybe maybe hundreds of people part of the 1% of the global population that owns Bitcoin? You don’t only look at those views and those likes and those comments on Youtube anymore and those shares and reposts on Linkedin! 3. Lets look at the regions. Lets take Europe for instance. How much fiat currency has been created in Europe, say the past 40 years. In the picture you see that Europe is now at almost 16 trillion Euros in the Money printing game. You see that the M2 - that is a measure of broad currency grew from 2 trillion in 1990 to 8 trillion in 2010. So 4 times in just 20 years!! You see the slope steepening arpund 2008 meaning that the rate they added paper in the printer during the credit crisis increased. 4 times more currency. I bet the economy and the amount of stuff produced in Europe during those 20 years did not increase by 4. Thus the currency grew more than the stuff. So the amount of Euros per kilo or liter of stuff increased. That is called inflation. From 2010 to 2020 the currency supply went from 8 to 12. That is +50%. And from 2020 to say 2024 it went up from 12 to almost 16 trillion. +33%. European Centralized Social Media is not profitable What does this have to do with my decision to move to Decentralized Social Media? It means that all the viewers of Youtube and Linkedin living in Europe have become poorer! They currency has been decreasing in value. The Euro has been printed like crazy since 1990! Why would I focus on attracting these viewers to my online training programs? All they bring is dilluted paper that is worthless!! And it is NOT their fault!! They have been working like crazy. Doing manual work, running spreadsheets, leaving office late, having a stressful life! And they now got pockets full of worthless paper. I wonder how I could find the Europeans on Nostr that have Bitcoin If you are here and you are living in Europe just send me 1 sat. So I know you are from Europe. 1 sat is enough and proof that you live there. If you value this post and you want me to continue this discussion you can send more if you want. I appreciate every single sat!! Just add your country to it please when you send me the sat. Then I can do my own research. Final Reason Decentralized Social Media is an exchange of value!!! That is a key one!!! I tested this myself by taking a Blink Wallet and sending myself 57 sats to my Primal Wallet. I just wanted to fund my Primal Wallet. It went easily. I could add a short note to it. And instantly the 57 sats were in my Primal wallet. Now think a moment. Instant VALUE transfer. VALUE for VALUE economy. This is HUGE! No likes, comments, reposts. No eyeballs of people earning fiat currency like the Euro. No. But instant VALUE!! Something scarce. Something precious. Something the European Central Bank cannot PRINT!! Instantly transacted to me. A piece of the 21 million Bitcoins! This is PRECIOUS!! No banks. No central banks. No adds. No Linkedin nor Youtube ads. Nothing. But instant VALUE! You like it? You can afford it? Some sats. If you can’t all good! That is why I’m moving to Decentralized Social Media. Lets go!!! Runy image

Setting Targets for 2025: Living on the Bitcoin Standard Imagine you have 1 Bitcoin. What does this mean? Have you really thought about this? You own 1/20 millionth of possibly EVERYTHING you can buy in the world!!! Think about that for a second. You take everything in the world: like the world GDP. That is 21 million. That is their value. And you now got 1 of those 21 million. You got 21 millionth of what you can buy! Now that world GDP will grow!! Businesses will produce more stuff tommorow. Things will wear down. Buildings and cars for instance. But businesses will produce more. They will ger more stuff out of the ground! Say that World stuff grows by 2% a year. More stuff in the world. But you still own your 1 Bitcoin. If you own 1Bitcoin you are amongst the wealthiest people in the world. Notice I did not mention US dollars, Euros, Swiss Francs. I did not measure the world’s GDP in any of those metrics. I did not mention Bitcoin’s price in US dollars, Euros, or Swiss Francs. Because it doesn’t matter. Thos metrics change constantly. We cannot rely on them. We cannot measure in them. Now what is next? Earn in Bitcoin? Your wages in Bitcoin? Your time in Bitcoin? How much is your daily rate in Bitcoin if there is only 21 million Bitcoin ever? Is that 0.01 BTC per day? What is your sales target for 2025 in BTC? You want to earn per year in BTC? Imagine you say: my sales target is 0.01 BTC per day. So that means working 90 days your quarterly BTC target is: 0.9 BTC. And your annual target is 3.6 BTC. No matter what the US, Euro, Swiss conversion rate is!! Could you program your mind, your business, your activities to do this? I’m going to try!!! Let me know your thoughts. Runy

Why Paying Me Only 100 USD In BTC is Better 15 Times Better Than Paying Me in Fiat Currency Imagine you pay me 100 dollars an hour for a job. Why would I prefer to take that 100 USD in SATS then taking it in USD? What Is My Inflation? Asuming my real inflation is 15%, and not 2-3% what the government is telling me then according to the rule of 72, in 4,8 years this 100 USD you pay me today in Fiat currency will be half. It will have half the purchasing power of today. So in 4,8 years the 100 USD you pay me today for 1 hour of work will only buy me USD 50 in goods and services. 5 years is the half life of fiat currency in a high inflation world we are living in today. And that is for the “best” fiat currency we have in the world: the US dollar! For all other currencies it is shorter than this! The Rule of 72 The rule of 72 says you divide 72 by the inflation and you get 4,8. The 4,8 is the number of years your initial “investment” of 100 USD decreases in value by half. Paying me in BTC If I take the 100 USD in SATS and I assume the BTC grows with 50% per year (which is very low as in 2024 alone it grew with 130%), I can calculate what my initial “investment” in BTC will be after 4,8 years. Lets take 5 years. So my USD 100 needs to be multiplied by 1,5*1,5*1,5*1,5*1,5. (5 years) That will be: USD 759,38! If I take the 100 USD in SATS in 5 years I will not have USD 50 in purchasing power but I will have USD 759,38 in purchasing power after 5 years. You could argue that I have to only multiply by 1,35 ( which is the increase of BTC of 1,5 minus the increase of inflation 0,15). Do that refined calculation yourself. Calculate 100 * 1,35 to the power of 5. What is my benefit of taking BTC today? So there you have it. If I take the 100 USD in fiat today my purchasing power is USD 50 after 5 years. If I take the 100 USD in SATS today my purchasing power is USD 759 in 5 years. Now take 759/50 and you get 15,18!! By taking the Bitcoin today I have 15 x my purchasing power in 5 years!! How much am I paid today if I accept the Bitcoin instead of the fiat currency? So if your time preference is 5 years and your horizon is 5 years (this is the time you take into account when you take the job), you are actually being paid 1500 USD per hour today! You don’t get 100 USD per hour. If you take the 100 USD in SATS your hourly pay is actually 1500 USD. 15 x more than you actually see in your hands. If you only have a time horizon of 5 years. Summary There you have it! That is the power of being paid in hard money versus soft currency! That is the difference between accepting Bitcoin versus accepting USD. Runy Calmera Host Island Wealth

M*V = P*Y M is the money supply V is the money velocity. How often money changes hands. P is the Price. And Y is Production. Production Im a world with technological innovation, Artificial Intelligence, and human ingenuity, global production, Y will definitely increase. We become smarter and we produce more stuff. Food, houses, buildings, cars, computers and education. More stuff in the world. Fixed Money Supply In a world of hyper bitcoinization there will be only 21 million Bitcoin ever. Whatever we do, whatever governments and central banks want, nobody can change this. M is fixed. Saving and low time preference. In a world where we save, V will slow down. People will think twice what they need. Instead of buying that nice car every 5 years, would you save more and slow down your consumption? If V slows down, and M is fixed and Y goes up, P has to fall. Prices go down. Forever. You get more stuff per Bitcoin. You get more abundance and the measuring stick is fixed. You get more houses per Bitcoin. Or less Bitcoin per house. Runy

The Fiat Currency Machine Imagine entering a machine. You het a desk. You get an office. You get something to do. You work 9-17:00 You retire after 40 years. Imagine at the top of the machine is a lever. Somebody pulls that lever And fiat currency comes out. Say 200.000 USD. You are happy. You feel wealthy. Now imagine Somebody can just pull that lever and out comes 500.000 usd. Another day somebody pulls that lever put comes 1000.000 usd. In the weekend somebody can pull that lever out comes 10.000.000 usd. How would you feel? You spend 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, 160 hours a month, 1760 hours a year, 40 years long of hard working in that machine to chase some dollars, But somebody could just pull that lever and out comes the US dollars they want. Without any effort. How would you feel? About this Fiat Currency Machine? You don’t command the lever. You don’t know where the lever is. You only know it exists. And that somebody is pulling at that lever. Imagine there is a store in the Fiat Currency Machine. Where you can buy anything you want. Food, groceries, vacations, subscriptions, a house and stocks. And everything you can buy is priced in dollars. Imagine you show up with your 200.000 us dollars feeling wealthy in terms of US dollars. But today the Fiat Currency Machine has been stacked with so many US dollars that there is so many that other hard working people, making stuff like houses, subscriptions, groceries, food and vacations are feeling overwhelmed. So they don’t value the us dollars you bring. Imagine because somebody pulled at the lever at will, you now feel poor with your 200.000 US dollars. Imagine you can now huy only one vacation with your 200.000 US dollars. How do you feel now? Are you already thinking about how to escape this Fiat Currency Machine? Can you? If you wake up without wanting to go to work for US dollars now you know about this Fiat Currency Machine, it is not your fault. If you feel frustrated when you want to buy something and you realize your fiat dollars became less worth it is not your fault. Bitcoin fixes this. Runy

Today I went to buy groceries. Salmon 18 dollars. It used to be 7 dollars. Then I realized again: The prices are not going up. The value of my money is going down. They fool you to think prices are rising. Yes I used to pay 7 dollars for a piece of salmon. But because they are printing fiat dollars like crazy now I have to give them 18 dollars for the salmon. I have to give them more of this fiat currency because it is decreasing in value. The saomon is not getting more expensive. Then I realized again that I’m trading my hours for fiat currency. Trading it for something that gets less and less worth. How many days I have left? How many hours I have left? My hours are scarce abd the most precious I have got. They are limited. And why am I trading my precious scarce hours for something that becomes less and less worth every day? The only thing you should trade your hours for is something fixed! Something they cannot make more of. Something scarce. Something limited, like the hours of my life! That is why I’m here on Nostr. To give you my value. To build on something that is unstoppable. To be able to build on unstoppable social media. To build on something that is going to increase in value. Next time you go buy groceries just notice how the prices did not increase. Notice how your dollars or your fiat got less worth. Runy

I'm reading a book from Joe Dispenza: becoming supernatural and he is saying. Thought --> Emotion --> Body --> Your Reality Normally if you think about past and future and you create a worst case scenario or you linger in the hell of your past, it will create a corresponding emotion. And that emotion will trigger similar thoughts. You are in a kind of a self reinforcing loop. And then the emotions will have a change in your body. So now hormones and everything will be produced corresponding with the thought and your emotions. So think about how your wife or girlfriend made your life a hell and betrayed you (= thought), and you feel hate (= emotion) and your body will produce sickness, fatigue (=body) that corresponds with the hate and betrayal. Your cells will start "thinking" how can we betray him. Because that is what you are signalling. But you can also use this pattern to start with emotions to change your reality. Emotion --> thought --> Body --> Your Reality So imagine you sit around in your home and you look around and you feel Gratitude, Abundance (= emotion). You prime yourself and you feel in your heart how Abundant you are and grateful for the present moment in our life. According to Joe Dispenza, that will trigger thoughts corresponding with those emotions. You will for instance wonder how you could share this abundance and gratefulness with the world in your business (=Thought), these thoughts will lead to feeling better, seeing the world differently and feeling better (= Emotions). Now your body will have to match this. Your cells are now in an environment of abundance and gratefulness. You are energized, you start exercising more. And before you know it all things at that "frequency" will come to you... People who are at that level of energy will be attracted to you. Opportunities will come to you. So what I get from this book is: You have to start inside. Inside is where you can influence. Inside is where you need to change things. Thoughts and Emotions. What do you think about this? Is this how the human "machine" of Thought -> Emotion -> Body works? Have you practiced this? What is your experience with this pattern? Let me know Runy

Today I had my setup with OBS of my show Island Wealth. I created a scene where I can interview a guest in a Podcast style show. And I ran some sessions off line. I added and into video and outro video. I need to improve my sound. And next I need to test run on Zap stream to see if my stream is coming through. If that goes well I’m ready to start streaming on zap stream all the way and forget Youtube and Linkedin. That would be awesome!! Runy

Moving from Centralized Social Media to Nostr. here is the thing: all my stuff is on Youtube, Linkedin, Facebook. Let me not speak about google (gmail). Normally you don't care, you think you are safe and that Youtube, Linkedin and Facebook are all helping you to reach out to new potential customers. So I have a channel called Island Wealth Channel on Youtube, Linkedin, Facebook where I deliver long video content. But recently when I was discussing the Bitcoin 24 model of Michael Saylor and said you can go for a Normie Bitcoin Strategy, A 10%, a 60%, a Bitcoin Maxi, or a Bitcoin Double and Triple Maxi Strategy... LINKED IN GAVE ME A WARNING. WTF!! It said something like: you might be saying illegal stuff or giving investment advice so.. see our policies here.... I did not click and looked at their policies. I then realized that NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR CONTENT. All my videos on Linkedin, Youtube, Facebook are not mine. I got permission to put them on Linkedin. Linkedin in this case is monitoring my activity and if I say Bitcoin, Bitcoin, Bitcoin, there is an AI agent that is going to tell me that I'm violating their policies. And on a future day, I wake up and I see that I'm banned from Linkedin. I'm banned from Youtube and Facebook because, well, we don't want you to talk about freedom money. So we ban you. I can't let this happen. I cannot let this happen to my business. I'm here to share my craft with the world. I'm here to educate the people, citizens, governments, private investors on the 57 small island nations in the world about how they can create Island Wealth. I'm here to tell them that saving on their bank accounts and getting 3% of interest payments. while their Central Banks (inspired by the FED) are printing fiat currency at 7% per year makes them poor. I'm here to tell them that Bitcoin is a savings technology and investment technology that can help them become more free. I'm here to tell them that this is no investment advice, but for educational purposes only. And that they are in a rat race they cannot ever win. I'm here to tell them to think about what is money. And if Linkedin, Facebook, Youtube can't handle that, if their AI bots start warning me that I can't have my freedom of speech on their platform, I'm out. So what can I do now. I can download all my videos from Youtube and Facebook that I have been creating during the past years, all the episodes on Linked in and put them on an external drive. I can create a local self hosted server and open it for my peer to peer network by using Keet.io and Pears.com technology. This is distributed peer to peer technology I have been studying. I can start self hosting my own videos on my server. I can download an app on my umbrel raspberry PI 4 and put all those videos on it. So I now have access of my content. I can start writing long content posts like this, where I show people on Islands and also you who don't yet live on an island but want to enjoy the Island Wealthy lifestyle as a nomad traveller, how to create Island Wealth. I can pay Primal.net to get a premium account and start using Primal as my main social media app to discover other people like you who are done with Centralized Social Media like Linkedin, Facebook, and Youtube. I can start using open source tools to create a Podcast called Island Wealth Podcast, and share my content via audio and interview other business owners on islands all in the world. I can start using OBS, Hivetalk, and streaming software that works on Nostr to share my online videos where I show my screen and run scenarios about the island economies. Of course I have to start from SCRATCH. All those 5000+ people on Linkedin connected to me, are not on Nostr. They are not on Keet.io. They are not in the Nostr ecosystem. I'm telling you. My "sales channels" where I interact with new people. Where I ask them to raise their hands and give me their email and name, so I can send them information about my upcomming paid online courses, will not work any more. Because they are working on centralized systems like Linkedin, Youtube and Facebook. But, I cannot continue on these platforms if they harass me. If they tell me what I can and cannot speak about. So I need your help. I need new friends. I need to start all over. You can help me to transition. As I stand now I rather have 10 free people on Nostr reading my content, listening to my podcast, watching my video and maybe joining my future programs, than having 5000+ connections, in a golden cage called Linkedin, Youtube and Facebook. Let me know how I can transition faster. Let me know how I can make more friends on Islands and new friends that are interested in the Island Wealthy lifestyle.

Imagine having all the data for the 57 small island developping states. And being able to discuss about the Island Wealth of these states. That’s what I’m building. Bitcoin is an asset that islanders can ise to build wealth. The reason is that people living on islands ofter cannot participate in the global capital markets. Imagine a bank derisking the whole Caribbean region because they think all the people and businesses in the Caribbean must be drug dealers from Colombia, must be financing terrorism in the Middle East, or must be money laundring. The bank just decides to send you a notice that your stock portfolio will be closed. Bitcoin fixes this. No correspondent banking in USA and Europe that don’t want to do business with your local Caribbean or island bank. No lists of questions when you want to open a bank account on an island. No hassle with receiving credit card payments on your website when you want to deliver online training videos to your clients all over the world. No hassle with visa, mastercard, paypal, strike etc because they don’t want to deliver services to your island. Finally exporting services online. Finally receiving payments with lightning easily directly to your wallet. Finally being able to send value to your virtual assistents and remote team members all over the world. Bitcoin fixes it. I’m so glad all these 57 islands in the world can finally enjoy doing business with the world. I’m so glad finally foundations on small islands can receive funding. I’m so glad freeoancers on all these islands will be able to work remotely and get paid. I’m going to start an experiment. Can I move my content fompletely from Youtube, Facebook, Linkedin? Can I do business online and be paid in Bitcoin? Can I become self souvereign completely from centralized social media? Can I host all my online experiences through open source decentralized platforms? Can I transition my online business completely to open source platforms like Nostr? And I’m gonna report on it here on Nostr. Lets go Runy

🇦🇷🇿🇼🇻🇪🇳🇪🇹🇷Friday Country case study: Guess the country for my Caribbean private investors and wealth managers ….. Here is the question on this Friday: what if a country…. Where would the interest rates be for a normal country in the world with a debt that cannot be paid, a debt to gdp of 129%, a weak balance of payments situation, a deficit during last 25 years and interest payments of 1 third of the budget? What would the IMF recipe be for that country? If politicians in that country would even think about reducing taxes and increasing expenditures in such a bad financial situation, what would the IMF and the Worldbank do? What would the rating agencies like Moodys and Fitch do? And what would Foreign investors and pension funds do? Well my friends…..the country of this week is….the USA! Stocks are going up like crazy. Keep asking yourself: what if and place your bets accordingly. Runy Island Wealth Join my VIP Lounge where we discuss strategic wealth creation here: doors close soon…

🌍☀️ The Caribbean’s Solar Power Failure: Why Aren’t We Leading the World? We must be freaking crazy (not to say dumb) in the Caribbean, this is why I come home. It is hot hot hot. The sun is blowing like crazy. And what do I do? I turn on the airconditioning!! This air conditioning runs on electricity. And that electricity is produced by turning oil, diesel into electricity. We are importing millions liters of oil/diesel per year, burn it into electricity while we have sun all year long. We must be freaking crazy in the Caribbean. Maybe dumb! You would expect ALL roofs (even the social housing roofs) to have solar panels. You would expect ALL houses in the Caribbean to have batteries. You would expect ALL schools in the Caribbean to have solar panels and batteries and all schools to teach the kids how to turn the power of the sun into electricity!! You would expect the Caribbean to be a SOLAR plantation to harvest solar power every day, storing it. The largest in the world. You would expect all islands in the Caribbean to harvest #Bitcoin all day long. Excess solar capacity? Arey you freaking crazy? Let those Bitcoin miners run all day long!!! Let them balance the grid!!! The Caribbean the largest Bitcoin Mining Plantation of the World!! We must be freaking crazy. Yes! Turning solar power into hard assets, hard money by mining Bitcoin out of that inmense solar power we get for free every day! But no!! We don’t have a Bitcoin minimg Solar Power park on each island. We must be dumb in the Caribbean. Yes I admit it! This global macro economist is one of the dumbest economists in the world that he is not able to convince those smart Caribbean politicians, those smart Captains of industries in the Caribbean of this cazy dumbest idea in the world: harvest your energy!! Reduce the costs of your businesses and households and harvest hard money: Bitcoin. You got the power. You would expect engineering Professrs in the Caribbean to have PhD students on the latest solar power technology in the world. And you would expect EACH island in the Caribbean to have a solar power long term strategy. You would expect all electric power material, equipment in the Caribbean imported to be duty free. And you would expect all Electric power companies in the Caribbean to be leading in solar power, batteries and even Electric vehicles. But WHY don’t you see this? Why are we the biggest importers of oil, diesel and equipment to turn oil and diesel into electricity? We must he freaking crazy!!!

There are somany people in the USA that believe inflation is just 2.4% and heading down. And their personal inflation is less then 2.5%. It is incredible how the government and the FED have folled people to believe inflation is just number. Heck I believed it myself. When you study economics you learn about the inflation and about how it is created. A number constructed fromabasket of goods. You deflate the whole economy by this number to get “real gdp”. Real Gross Domestic Product. But untill you discover Bitcoin and you ask yourself: what is money? You have no idea what inflation is and what you are talking about. Inflation is not a number/scalar but a vector. There are millions of prices at the same time. Take your own life. Look around. What are you buying? Groceries, a vacation, gas, a car, office equipment, an online book, netflix services. For you alone we might have say10.000 products and services that you buy. Your inflation is dependent of the country you live in, your age, your job, your city, your family, your personal hobbies. Now you got a wife or a husband and you got kids. Again the inflation of your household changes completely. We now have the goods an services of your wife, and all kinds of goods and services like diapers, nannies, toys (expensive) in your basket of goods and services. Now imagine your husband has a leak in his hands. He has debt. Yes you married an indebted guy. Now he needs to pay high creditcard fees. Are these inflation? Yes. Now the interest payments on your husband’s credit cards might factor in in your inflation. Imagine your wife lives Louis Vuiton bags. Now the price of these luxury bags are in your inflation vector. Every year your wife needs a new 5000 usd bag otherwise she is not happy. Inflation is a function of your age, your family composition, where you live, your city, your lifestyle. Now imagine you want to be wealthy. Yes you don’t vare about the Louis Vuitton bag, but you want to own the Louis Vuitton stock, the NVidia and Tesla stock and the Porsche stock! Yes you are not collecting stupid cars like those silly Youtube fake millionaires but you want to own assets, stocks Villas. Now your inflation vector consists of precious growing stocks with a multiple of 10-50x. You now have an inflation of 25-50% each year. You see how silly that inflation number of 2.5% is? It is a fake number, to just make it easy to have a fake economics discussion. To cover what is trully happening with your money. To cover that your money on your bank account is actually becomming less worth. If you found this valuable let me know below and share this with your friends on nostr. Runy Island Wealth
