As a practitioner of Stoic philosophy, I do not pursue emotional disturbance through music; rather, I employ it to strengthen rational discernment. What lies within my control? My response alone. What does not? The empire, the storm, the visions themselves. The apocalyptic lyrics function as a memento mori, serving to remind me that empires collapse, bodies decay, yet virtue endures as sovereign.

Michael Saylor's Strategy has reported $2.8 billion in unrealized profits from its Bitcoin holdings in Q3. Yet, some will still insist this strategy is a Ponzi scheme. As long as governments continue printing fiat currency and devaluing it, this trend will persist. The real Ponzi scheme is fiat currencies.

"What distinguishes this speculative attack from its Weimar predecessor is that now - thanks to Bitcoin, Bitcoin Treasuries, Money Printer Go Brrr memes, and social media - it is nearly impossible for public opinion to misconstrue the economic consequences of the inflation. The speculative attack has evolved from a relatively obscure trading strategy during the Weimar Republic into a coordinated, full-fledged social media-mediated and Wall Street-assisted assault on the monopoly of state-issued money itself." ~ Be Water We've stepped into a realm where perception trumps reality, and debt serves as the new weapon in a financial conflict. The Speculative Attack series links this to everything from Weimar hyperinflation to the erosion of the middle class—raising the question: are Bitcoin treasuries the path to sound money, or the prelude to the next economic collapse?

Reclaiming Your Identity: Why Governments Want Your Digital ID—and How Bitcoin Can Set You Free

Imagine this: You’re a law-abiding citizen in London or Berlin, minding your own business, opening a simple bank account.

"Payments are the camcorders of our age, the next technology whose time has passed. The new age that is just beginning will feel qualitatively different, like the moment Dorothy steps out of her black-and-white world into the vibrant colors of Oz. When value flows as freely as information, the economy changes, and society changes with it." ~ Roy Sheinfeld What if money flowed as effortlessly as a text? Roy Sheinfeld's bold take: Bitcoin transcending its role as an asset to become the backbone that turns value exchange into a commoditized utility. This evolution could erase borders, dismantle outdated payment systems, and ignite a vibrant creator economy powered straight by the Lightning Network. The Utility of Bitcoin: Moving Value Like Information Being able to transmit value like information, as fast as a text message, has profound implications for society. Bitcoin unlocks that.

What governments brand as "financial inclusion" is little more than a facade. From Vietnam's sweeping bank account crackdowns and India's emerging tool for digital censorship to Christine Lagarde's push to fast-track oversight and sidestep democratic hurdles, world leaders are hurtling toward a nightmarish cashless regime.
