“Bitcoin is just for bad traders” is a new one I heard 💀

A CBDC gives the central bank a direct line to your wallet with no buffer, no intermediary, no protection. Right now there's a layer between government policy and your spending: commercial banks, legal process, institutional friction. A CBDC deletes that layer entirely. You don't have to believe in conspiracies to recognize that's an enormous amount of power to hand ANYONE.

Paper bitcoin, ETFs, funds, custodians, is going to be the subprime mortgage of this cycle. Everyone's going to feel rich on paper until the moment they need to actually move it and realize the instrument they own isn't the asset they thought they had. History keeps rhyming...

People ask me if bitcoin can survive a world war. Bitcoin survived China "banning" it multiple times. It survived exchange collapses, exchange hacks, government seizures, and a dozen market crashes that were supposed to kill it. The question isn't whether bitcoin can survive chaos. It's whether or not your bank can!!

Just a matter of time before it comes back

Jack Dorsey built a protocol that sends bitcoin over bluetooth mesh networks. No internet. No cell towers. Peer to peer, device to device. Wanna know what bitcoin looks like in a scenario where governments shut down the internet? It looks like that. The people betting against bitcoin's sovereignty because "the government controls the internet" are fighting the last war!!

The Fed was sold to the public as a stabilizing force, a backstop against deflation, a lender of last resort. What it actually built was a system where the people closest to the money printer win first and the people furthest away lose last. This is the Cantillon effect, and it was always going to produce this outcome. Buy bitcoin.

Every company sitting on a pile of cash is holding a massive liability. And within 5-10 years, cash reserves on a balance sheet will look the same way leaving money in a savings account looks today, obviously wrong in hindsight. Holding bitcoin on the balance sheet WILL become the new norm.

There are millions of coins sitting in bitcoin wallets from 2009 untouched, and if quantum computing ever gets close enough to crack those keys, those coins will move. The entire network will see it before it becomes a systemic problem, and the protocol will respond. That's your signal. Satoshi's coins are the canary in the quantum coal mine.

The sun is a mining rig. Wind is a mining rig. Any stranded energy on the planet that used to have no buyer now has one: bitcoin miners. That's the part people miss when they argue about "energy consumption." Bitcoin is the only buyer that can show up anywhere on earth and turn EXCESS power into money. So no, bitcoin isn't an energy "waster".

Most people still use banks because nobody taught them not to. That's it. Not because banks are good, and not because bitcoin is hard. There's just a knowledge gap and the banks have a massive financial incentive to keep open. Every confusing fee, every fine print paragraph, every "for your protection" policy exists to make you feel like you need them. You don't. Opt out.

The public school system was designed in the industrial era to produce factory workers who follow instructions, show up on time, and don't ask too many questions. The economy changed, the schools didn't. Your kid is being prepared for a world that no longer exists by an institution that benefits from them not noticing. This is why I homeschool.

A wife who submits to a husband who doesn’t sacrifice isn’t honoring scripture. A husband who demands submission without laying down his life isn’t either. Biblical marriage shouldn’t be a power structure. It should be a covenant of mutual sacrifice.

Our unpopular opinion is that opsec is generally not that important 😭 @halstonvalencia: “you’re more at risk wearing a luxury purse”

Everyone's celebrating corporate bitcoin treasuries, but let's be honest, a company that holds bitcoin and has no real business, no real product, no real cash flow is just a leveraged bet. Within a decade, every serious public company will hold bitcoin as a reserve asset because inflation makes cash a liability. The winners will be the ones who built something real on top of it, not the ones that simply hold it.

A CBDC is a direct line from the central bank to your wallet with no commercial bank buffer in between. Right now, when a government wants to restrict your spending, they have to go through institutions, laws, and processes. A CBDC eliminates all of that. They can freeze, program, and condition your money based on your behavior. This is a stated functionality. And you're still not buying bitcoin??

Proof of reserves sounds responsible until you think about what it actually does. You're publishing the exact size and location of your bitcoin honeypot on the internet. Congratulations, you just made yourself the most attractive target in the room lol The real answer isn't proof of reserves, it's not holding customer bitcoin at all! If a platform can't be hacked for your coins, no audit is necessary.

It's so funny how China has "banned" bitcoin multiple times. Multiple times....and yet here we are. You cannot ban something that runs on rules instead of rulers. Every "re-ban" is just them admitting that the last attempt failed. Every crackdown is just more proof that they can't stop it, and they know it. Bitcoin was built to be resilient.

Your bank told you self-custody is too hard and too risky. Think about why they'd say that. They need your bitcoin sitting in their system because the moment you take self-custody seriously, they lose. The "difficulty" of self-custody just feels like an organic marketing campaign funded by the people who profit when you stay confused. Buy bitcoin. Put it in cold storage.
