So your boy is a bit of a conspiracy theorist. That is to say, I sincerely enjoy a good conspiracy, especially those that end up proving true. I am currently reading Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper. This is an OG conspiracy book and it is chock full of them. My favorite so far has been the “Silent Weapons for Secret Wars”. This supposed document was published as a doctrine for the Builderberg Group as a sort of instruction manual on how to wage “silent” war on the populace. This document was allegedly written in 1979 and found on an IBM copier that was purchased at a surplus sale in 1986. It was subsequently published in Behold a Pale Horse. While reading Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, I couldn’t help but think about how #bitcoin is a weapon that we the commoners, the plebs, can use to fight back in a non-violent manner against the elite. Now, whether or not “Silent Weapons” is a legit doctrine, many of the tactics quoted in it to be used agains the populace have been utilized to a significant degree, specifically controlling the economy through money printing and economic planning at the federal level. I have attached a link for an article I wrote about this and published on twitter. If you have time, please read and let me know what you think. https://x.com/jeauxbroni/status/1767231126882410706?s=61

Went to AZ to watch some spring training ball last week. Always a great time watching my Rockies, but was also blown away by the birding out there. Thought I’d share!

Bitkey came yesterday. Very excited to try this little dude out. Plan on doing a more in depth review once I have spent some time with it (maybe even a video but I’ve never done that before so…maybe not 😆). So far ease of use and set up are incredible. Like this would be something I would recommend to a total normie and I think it would help them grasp, understand and use #bitcoin. Some good integration with cash app 👍 and coinbase 👎. Overall, really liking it and see great mainstream potential. One question for @jack, it looks like I can buy bitcoin only through coinbase. I can seamlessly move bitcoin from cash app wallet to Bitkey but can’t buy from cash app in the Bitkey app. Just curious. My only gripe. Otherwise fantastic device!

Mainstream financial media and the financial engagement farming of Twitter are so short sighted. They look at every investment as a high stakes wager, they make every investment into a high stakes wager. There is no concept of low time preference. They want their pay out immediately! #bitcoin is low time preference. Zoom out and tune out. Does wonders for your well being and bitcoin just keeps on hashing blocks.

I really can't explain why, but reading the Dune series in 2020 was something that really helped get me into #Bitcoin . The scale of time as it takes place over the course of the 6 books helped me realize Bitcoin is going to unfold on a much grander timeframe than just today, this week, this month, or this year. Dune and Bitcoin are low time preference. Needless to say, looking like your boy is going to see Dune 2 on imax tomorrow and I am stoked. Thought the first movie really captures the book as good as a movie can.

I tell my kids to first decide who you want to be, how you want to live your life, what is important to you…then decide what you want to do.

What does time matter if no one is there to observe it?

One Size Does Not Fit All: Navigating the Complexities of Adopting a Bitcoin Standard In the realm of economic innovation and financial experimentation, El Salvador has recently emerged as a pioneer by becoming the first nation to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. The decision, led by the government of President Nayib Bukele, has sparked significant debates regarding the potential benefits and challenges associated with integrating a decentralized digital currency into a national monetary system. However, it is crucial to recognize that the recent positive developments in El Salvador cannot be solely attributed to the adoption of a Bitcoin standard. The intricate interplay of economic policies, governance structures, and societal factors underscores the complexity of such a transformative decision. El Salvador's move to a Bitcoin standard has indeed been accompanied by positive outcomes. Crime rates have shown a notable decrease, economic indicators suggest growth, and the nation has experienced a surge in overall well-being. However, attributing these improvements solely to the adoption of Bitcoin oversimplifies a nuanced reality. It is essential to consider the multifaceted nature of success and the various factors that contribute to a nation's prosperity. A critical aspect to bear in mind is that the success of adopting a Bitcoin standard does not hinge on a specific style of government. Whether a nation embraces a democratic or dictatorial governance structure, the key determinants of success lie in the formulation and execution of effective economic policies, institutional frameworks, and political stability. Firstly, economic policies play a pivotal role in shaping the outcomes of adopting a Bitcoin standard. Regardless of the government's style, policies that encourage innovation, investment, and financial inclusivity are essential. Transparent and well-regulated financial institutions contribute to the overall success of a nation in navigating the challenges posed by a decentralized digital currency. Moreover, political stability is paramount for sustainable economic development. A stable political environment fosters investor confidence, encourages long-term planning, and facilitates the implementation of strategic policies. This stability is not exclusive to any particular governance style but is a common prerequisite for a nation's prosperity. Institutional frameworks, legal systems, and regulatory environments also significantly influence the success of adopting a Bitcoin standard. Effective governance involves creating a supportive ecosystem for the integration of new financial technologies while safeguarding against potential risks. A well-designed institutional framework can help balance innovation with regulatory responsibility. Public support and participation form another crucial element in the equation. Successful governance requires engagement with the public, understanding their needs, and addressing concerns. Regardless of the governance style, a government that values transparency and inclusivity is more likely to garner public trust and cooperation. The recent developments in El Salvador serve as a case in point, demonstrating that the success of a Bitcoin standard is a multi-faceted issue. While the positive outcomes in the country are notable, they underscore the need to consider a holistic array of factors that contribute to a nation's success. It is not a question of whether one style of government is more suitable for adopting a Bitcoin standard but rather how well a government navigates the challenges and opportunities presented by this transformative financial shift. As more nations explore the possibility of adopting a Bitcoin standard, it is essential to recognize that "one size does not fit all." Success in this endeavor depends on a combination of effective economic policies, political stability, institutional frameworks, and public engagement. The journey towards embracing decentralized digital currencies is a complex and dynamic one, and each nation must carefully navigate its unique path to ensure the well-being of its citizens and the prosperity of its economy.

The finite nature of time is what makes us human. Without it, we would be gods. #Bitcoin is the only asset as verifiably finite as time.
