This excerpt from @Lyn Alden's Broken Money, seems timely and relevant after bombing Iran's 3 nuclear facilities. Who gets to pay for the fuel for the B-2 bombs to Iran and back to Missouri, pilots, all other personnel for this and future missions? ----- The 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century have been defined by a greater role of nation states, financed by their flexible ledgers. On one hand, this has allowed for centralized and widespread social safety net implementations, but they tend to be popular enough that they could be financed more transparently in some form or another through taxation. On the other hand, this has allowed for constant warfare and selective bailouts around the world by diluting the savings of others in continuous and non-transparent ways. Corporations can cozy up to governments, and shape legislation that determines where public deficit spending goes, with that spending being opaquely drawn out of peoples’ savings through ongoing debasement.

Whether it’s his keynote speeches, media appearances, or the JMS Podcast (highly recommend subscribing), I’m always struck by the passion @jack mallers brings. His conviction, confidence, and call for his generation (and the rest of us) to challenge the status quo are powerful and inspiring. I only could see clips of his Prague speech but I hope they release the full speech.

Just started @Lyn Alden's Broken Money and it’s fire so far. Can’t put it down. Nothing stops this train.

GM! I’m in NYC for work this week. There is nothing like taking a walk first thing in the morning to clear the mind. Came across this street art. It’s a mural created by Victor Ash called “Melanie” in Manhattan’s Financial district. It honors and brings attention to the issue of sex trafficking, which Melanie Thompson courageously survived. #freedommurals #streetartformankind #nyc

This Elon vs Trump X beef was not on my bingo card today.

Good Morning! Proof of work... #bitcoin

Just consolidated all my #bitcoin from multiple wallets to my new Coldcard Q. I used it with Sparrow, and it was surprisingly easy to use once I had it all setup. Made a test send/receive to verify everything was copacetic. This is what financial freedom and the future looks like. #selfcustody #financialfreedom

Time to get after it. #bitcoin #bitaxe

YOOOOOO! Banger of a show. @jack mallers bringing the heat 🔥today. “They’re saying the quiet part out loud”. A must listen. Help him get to his goal this year and subscribe. Stay humble ✌️ https://www.youtube.com/live/bZorLnEjs-I?si=ghJ9UpD7ryOTvxO3

Another year older, another year wiser (mostly 😄). Life is short—enjoy it. Don’t sweat the little stuff. Embrace your kids, your family, your friends… even the strangers who cross your path. Every moment counts, and I’m grateful for all of mine. 💫💛 #BirthdayReflections #Gratitude #livefully

If you only watch one thing today...This is hands down one of the clearest explanations of how the U.S. monetary system and debt really work—and why it might be time to seriously reconsider your financial future. If this video doesn’t get you thinking about saving in #bitcoin (or at least BTC-related assets), I’m not sure anything will. Watch this as many times as it takes until you understand it well enough to teach someone else. The whole series is worth a watch.

GM Nostr. A new week to stack sats and orange pill 1 person you care about, who you want as part of the post fiat driven future. #bitcoin

Once you wake up and see the light, you can’t unsee it. A spark in your soul reveals truth, guiding you and others through the dark. #bitcoin #awaken

🔥THE DEATH OF THE AMERICAN MIDDLE CLASS: THE BITCOIN MANIFESTO🔥 Let’s cut the bullshit. The American middle class is dead. It’s gone. ...

I hope Rogan accepts. Would love a 3 part series on #bitcoin w/ Saylor, @jack and @jack mallers

After almost 30 years, the highly anticipated Happy Gilmore 2 Trailer is out. Hope it doesn't disappoint. #MovieTrailer

Just got followed by my first cat on #nostr — shoutout to @Helios! What an honor!

More #homelab gear to add to the arsenal

Go while you can. The world doesn’t wait, and neither does time — your legs won’t always carry you, but your memories always will. I love traveling and always look for an opportunity to visit new places and do new things whether it's a few miles away in town or to another city/state/country. Here's my top ten buck list destinations, what are yours? In no particular order: → Santorini, Greece → Japan → Machu Picchu, Peru → Iceland → Serengeti, Tanzania → New Zealand → Australia → Patagonia → Croatia → Marrakech, Morocco → Antarctica #bucketlist #travel

I know this is a year old but first time I've seen it. Max Verstappen vs world's fastest camera drone. The sounds and shots are wild. #F1 Full Video:
