Most people don’t realize: The current system rewards proximity to money, not productivity. Governments print. Banks lend. Markets inflate. But who actually creates value? The worker. The builder. The innovator. In a Bitcoin standard, money can’t be manipulated. You can’t fake productivity. You earn value by contributing. This flips the game. It’s no longer about who controls the money It’s about who creates something meaningful. Proof of work > proof of influence. #Bitcoin #Reset #Finance

Money is meant to represent work. You give value – you get paid. Simple, right? But today’s system is broken. Hundreds of currencies. Endless credit. Inflation everywhere. Value distorted by trust. Rich nations profit not by producing, but by exploiting currency arbitrage. That era is ending. Trust is fading. Fiat currencies lose ground. Jobs based on financial imbalance are dying in the long run. Enter Bitcoin. No trust. No manipulation. Just rules. Fair, transparent, finite. In the new world, value comes from creating real value. Not playing the system. Bitcoin is not just money. It’s a reset. #Bitcoin #Money #Fiat #Inflation #Trust

A democracy can only truly be effective and sovereign if it avoids two things: excessive national debt and completely open markets without tariffs. Tariffs allow a democratic state to enforce its own values – such as labor rights, environmental standards, and fair production practices – without being undermined by cheaper imports produced under unethical conditions. They protect domestic industry and, with it, the freedom to make political decisions. At the same time, high levels of debt and rising interest payments mean that a large portion of the state budget goes toward servicing that debt. The state has limited ability to raise taxes – especially on the wealthy – since capital could then flee the country. This severely restricts the government’s financial room to maneuver and undermines its ability to act democratically. In short: Without tariffs and with excessive debt, a democracy loses its capacity to shape policy freely – and risks becoming an empty shell #democracy #tarifs #debt

Financial privacy is not a luxury, it is protection. If someone can see your transactions, they know what you own, and that can be dangerous. It opens the door to power imbalances, control, and even real world threats. When we say, “Some people need access to prevent tax evasion,” we are creating hierarchies. That means certain people stand above you, they are higher than you. True financial freedom only exists with true privacy. #privacy #control

Open borders are no longer a humanitarian project, they serve the interests of big corporations. Through targeted migration policies, global players and their political allies secure cheap labor. New migrants are often willing to work for low wages because they come from difficult conditions and seize any opportunity they can. This leads to wage pressure, a decline in the appreciation of labor, and a job market distorted in favor of economic elites. #politics #work #elites

Skilled Labor Shortage: A Self-Made Problem? Social security systems increasingly remove the incentive for self-improvement. When people receive benefits without having to progress, the motivation to gain knowledge and skills often fades. But in a world that’s becoming more complex, we need exactly that: highly skilled professionals in essential, productive fields like engineering, manufacturing, and healthcare. The result? Fewer people understand critical economic processes, leaving key industries dependent on a small group of experts. If something goes wrong there, economic instability becomes a real risk. A system meant to support society could be weakening its foundation. #economy #sideeffects

I’d like to give you a little insight into my everyday work from time to time: Last week, we were working at a wastewater treatment plant that runs 24/7 – shutting it down wasn’t an option. So, we had to work under voltage, officially and with full protective equipment, as a team of two. Our task was to install a new outgoing feeder with a higher protection rating to handle more current. First, we covered the dangerous areas with an insulation mat, then installed a larger NH fuse element, laid the stranded conductor to increase the cross-section, and finally adjusted the PVC panel. #work #electricity

Bitcoin is the only digital asset that can be used on the internet in a completely trustless manner. Since price discovery largely takes place online today, Bitcoin is one of the most resilient assets against central manipulation. While large market participants can influence short-term fluctuations, Bitcoin remains one of the most transparent and tamper-proof stores of value in the long run due to its decentralization and fixed supply. #bitcoin #resilient #digital

Inspired by the recent interview of @Jeff Booth @nat brunell Many of our societal problems can be traced back to our monetary system. We live in a system designed to create an annual inflation rate of about 1-2%. But what does this actually mean? Technological progress enables us to make work processes more efficient and solve problems more effectively. Theoretically, products and services should become cheaper as more can be achieved with less effort. However, our current monetary system prevents this. Due to deliberate inflation, technological progress is essentially “printed away”: prices rise artificially instead of falling. This happens because central banks inject new money into the economy to meet inflation targets. This newly created money is distributed unequally, and not everyone benefits equally. Those who control the monetary system benefit the most, as they directly participate in money creation. Historically, people or groups with this power have always used it to their own advantage in the long run. A possible solution to this problem could be Bitcoin. Unlike our current monetary system, the number of Bitcoins is limited. Its decentralized structure ensures that no one in the network can gain an unfair advantage. If Bitcoin can remain decentralized in the long term and resist external influence, it could be recognized as a stable and fair monetary system. This would mean that the power over money no longer rests in the hands of a few, and the benefits of progress could be distributed more equitably. Bitcoin has the potential to foster greater trust, justice, and economic stability by laying the foundation for a fair and transparent monetary system.

Inflation leads to more centralization over time because it makes it harder to save money. People start buying assets to protect their wealth. The higher the inflation, the more assets they need. Over time, people buy more and more assets to secure their wealth. As inflation rises, assets become more expensive, and those who own many assets make even more money. At the same time, because more people are buying assets just to protect their money, fewer assets are being sold or traded. This reduces the supply of assets, and since demand stays high, prices keep rising. This cycle pushes wealth and resources into fewer hands, leading to centralization. #inflation #assets #centralisation

Today’s monetary theory is like: “Buy something with it now, or we will slowly take it from you.”

The current system is inefficient because the value of the currency keeps changing due to inflation and fluctuations in the money supply. This means government spending, whether on healthcare, education, infrastructure, or social services, has to be recalculated and adjusted regularly. This constant adjustment creates a lot of bureaucratic effort, increases costs, and makes the system less efficient. Long-term budgets lose their value, and governments need to intervene more often to keep things running. A currency with a fixed supply, like Bitcoin, could be a solution, as it would provide long-term stability and make government systems more efficient. #bitcoin #government

Lightning transactions don’t necessarily need to be profitable to be valuable. It’s not essential for every payment to offer a financial incentive for processing. Often, it’s sufficient for companies or organizations to gain access to the payment network by operating a node. The primary incentive for running a Lightning node is participation in the network, rather than direct profit. Even so, this approach remains significantly cheaper than traditional transaction fees. This is what makes the Lightning Network so powerful and appealing. #lightning #payment #node

Technological progress makes products more efficient and cheaper, which has a deflationary effect. To keep the 2% inflation target, more and more money needs to be printed, increasing wealth inequality. The faster efficiency increases, the harder it becomes to artificially create inflation. With AI accelerating technological progress even further, the problem grows. This could lead to a deflationary problem—a risk to our system? Can this system work in the long term? #AI #technology #inflation

Excited to connect with more of you on Nostr! 🚀 For the next week, I’ll zap 100 sats to everyone who follows and repost my account. Let’s grow together!

Sometimes, when I discover a new perspective on our monetary system, I find myself completely captivated by these thoughts. It excites me to imagine how much could change for the better in the future. The idea of being one of the first to understand this, and possibly becoming part of a movement that brings about positive change, is something I can’t let go of. This sense of euphoria is so overwhelming that I somtimes can’t even fall asleep. Are there people feeling the same? #hype #awake

Our assumptions about economics and money are based on a flawed understanding, because we use a monetary system whose value is constantly changing due to money printing and debt creation. As a result, faulty conclusions arise since the unit of measurement we rely on is not stable. Bitcoin is the very first alternative to this system, offering a constant unit across our world. It has the advantage that it cannot be expanded and cannot easily be altered, making it a fixed unit of measurement that enables a more objective evaluation of values and economic processes. #bitcoin #economics #changeperspective

One of the biggest issues in today’s financial system is the role of asset managers and how they handle our funds. These institutions often act as central authorities that not only manage our financial resources but also wield significant influence over markets. The core problem lies in the concentration of power and responsibility in the hands of a few major players. Asset managers like BlackRock, Vanguard, and Fidelity manage trillions of dollars on behalf of their clients. This centralization poses several risks: firstly, mismanagement or poor decisions by these institutions could have massive repercussions on the global financial system. Secondly, there is a potential dependency on a small group of decision-makers whose interests might not always align with those of their clients. Another issue is that companies are obligated to follow the directives of their shareholders. Their primary duty is to represent shareholder interests and implement their votes. By entrusting funds to large asset managers like BlackRock, shareholders effectively transfer their voting rights to a handful of centralized actors. This can create conflicts of interest, as decisions made by these asset managers significantly influence corporate policies across various industries. There is a risk that the same individuals control different industries. This could lead to intentional problem creation to sell profitable solutions later — for example, developing unhealthy foods that foster diseases, which are then treated with medications. Similarly, media campaigns could disproportionately highlight certain issues to promote profitable products like for example "environmental solutions." In capitalism, the entities generating the highest profits grow the fastest. Capitalism dictates that those who do not exploit these mechanisms will ultimately lose to their competitors. Even if these problems are not yet fully apparent today, within this system, it is almost inevitable that they will arise in the future. #pension #funds
