Arthur Hayes spitting truth: “But at the end of the day, if you're thinking about why now, why did BlackRock get in their ETF approval in six months and the Winkle Clowns couldn't get one in 10 years? Right? Live in New York. They're both billionaires, both very rich. Why weren't they given one and BlackRock was given one in six months? Well, at the end of the day, you want the same financial institutions to control the wealth that can ultimately be appropriated by the government at the flick of a switch. BlackRock is just another arm of the U.S. government, just the same as any other large Chinese asset managers in the arm of the Chinese government.”

The first European to set foot on this island and settle a community was Willem Verhulst from Antwerp, doing so in 1624. 

I love America - and Texas 🤠

🎶 In the bright daylight
on a sprawling lawn,
A little squirrel digs
at the break of dawn.
With careful paws,
he hides his sats away,
"FurFunds," he calls them,
safe in their earthen tray. 🎶

What’s next after a second passport? Making sure your wealth is transportable. #bitcoin 

Three fingers whiskey pleasures the drinkers
And moving does more than the same thing for me

I went to see Oliver Anthony here in Round Rock TX with my wife… Wonderful message and a voice like a bell. amazing performance, I’m so glad I went.
It’s still hard to believe sometimes that bitcoin is casually trading at these prices. 

Bitcoin’s “Quantitative Hardening” in the Belgian Financial Times 💪 

I’ve learned a lot from Peter Todd over the years. Here’s a discussion of his NOSTR critique: View quoted note →
(US politics) Does anyone else also feel that the Drudge Report has taken a turn to the left? I’ve been reading it for 15 years or so and used to feel that it was sensational but quite neutral in the left-right spectrum. The last 2 years I notice a change, with a lot more negative news focused on Trump vs Biden for example. What do you guys think? New owners perhaps?
Fiat is an acid; a poison that weakens living creatures, that dissolves age old healthy membranes, and that slowly burns away all that is good in the world.
Bitcoin is a base; a benign soap that cleanses our wounds; a purifying water that restores life in society’s rivers; a miracle potion that helps us remember songs of truth and virtue.
A Real Rap on Real Estate
In the dance of wealth, where truth and lies entwine,
Houses once stood, symbols of our design.
But beneath the surface, a truth concealed,
Fiat’s erosion, their fate was sealed.
Deluded buyers, blinded by the lie,
Houses crumble as the years fly by.
In this tale of shifting wealth and gain,
We find reflections of our human bane.
So let us heed this cautionary verse,
As Bitcoin’s rise calls for a reverse.
For in its wake, a shift is seen,
To sound construction, long unseen.
Classical architecture, born anew,
Guiding hands, patient, steady, true.
No longer hasty, this time with care,
Building legacies beyond compare.
For in the ever-changing dance of fate,
Bitcoin restores, it does not abate.
It’s not just wealth, but values that await,
In stone we build, our legacy, innate.
Bitcoin is demonetizing real estate. A lot of “invoosters” chomping at the bit to “buy the dip” in real estate are going to get burnt badly. It’s for the most part essentially a shitcoin, just one that’s slightly less shitty than the dollar.
