Has anyone else noticed that 2140 just happens to be the number of years (give or take) of an astrological age? I’d love to hear any thoughts out there about the significance of 21 in Bitcoin.

Brains trust question… what do you think the most useful or accurate way is for estimating/measuring the number of passionate Bitcoiners in the world. Maybe those that are running nodes… although I know many who consider themselves to be passionate Bitcoiners who are not yet running a node.

Currently simultaneously reading: “The Great Taking”, “The Great Depression: A Diary by Benjamin Roth” and “The Big Print”. My take out of those 3 books overlayed on top of each other is simple: Everything is in place for the next “Great Depression, more aptly dubbed “The Great Taking” … 1. The global velocity of money is almost at a stand still (VoM being, IMHO, the best measure of a healthy economy) meaning ‘they’ve’ broken all their toes and can no longer ‘kick the can’. 2. All the legal framework that is required, is now in place globally, to seize all assets that are not both: without encumbrances and securely self custodied. 3. These ‘improved’ legal frameworks, established globally in the past 2-3 decades, have been tested and legal precedent established post GFC. 4. The masses are cowered, divided and nihilistic as demonstrated via A. Covid sheep response B. attempting to have interesting conversations with friends, family, acquaintances, work colleagues, strangers about anything that is not in line with mainstream narrative. C. Global marriage and birth rates D. Global suicide rates. Prepare accordingly: NFA 1. Gather self-custodied hard assets: Bitcoin, Gold. Not your keys, not your coins 2. Eradicate any debt and/or leveraged positions 3. Grow your own food 4. If you live in a city, have a fall back position 5. Grow your social capital… this means love and help thy family, friends and neighbours. Even the pre-coiners. 6. Learn to hunt, fish and forage … what wildlife is are plentiful where you reside? 7. Learn to be resourceful… 8. Reduce, reuse, up cycle… 9. Master your mind and find purpose… nothing will kill you faster than nihilism.

@Guy Swann Thank you Guy! This is the best and most confronting information I’m yet to encounter, in my life! Understanding the legal framework that has been systematically implemented in the past 20years that enables the “You’ll own nothing” part of the WEF narrative makes it so much more than a narrative but instead an imminent threat. Prepare accordingly!!!

Another of my most favourite stories.
