put a bad apple in a basket of good apples and the whole basket rots. put a good apple in a basket of bad apples and it rots too. choose your basket wisely.

our lives aren’t defined by central authorities or collective mandates. our lives are the sum of our individual choices. we are masters of our own fate. nothing is written by power brokers or institutional controllers. the future we want comes from voluntary cooperation, individual freedom and personal sovereignty… not centralized control.

watching governments debate cbdcs is like watching prison guards argue about chain thickness while the inmates already tunneled out with #bitcoin

luddism 2025 isn’t about removing machines, it’s about removing fiat, cbdc and black-box ai. bitcoin or digital slavery, choose.

bitcoin keeps evolving beyond a store of value. it’s driving microtransactions, crowdfunding and cross-border payments. it’s set to be everyday money with square accepting it for payments. can’t wait.

bitcoin is the only thing you can actually own. everything else is permission. your bank account: permission your house: permission your stocks: permission with bitcoin: no one can take it no one can stop it no one can debase it property rights aren’t granted. they’re verified. every 10 minutes. forever. this fixes everything

how do you cause people to believe in “magic internet money”? first, you never admit that all money is imagined.

Ten days after GENIUS: The $28 trillion reality only few talk about In the ten days since Trump signed the GENIUS Act, I got more questions about this topic than all last quarter. Same question: "How fast can we move on stablecoins?" Here's why people are panicking: Deutsche Bank dropped a bombshell: Stablecoin transactions hit $28 trillion last year. More than Visa and Mastercard combined. The market's grown 45x since 2019, from $5B to $232B. The yield ban is the feature, not the bug: By prohibiting interest on payment stablecoins, Congress created crystal-clear product segmentation. Payment rails vs investment products. No more regulatory grey zones. Your Venmo doesn't pay interest either because payments and investments are different beasts. Tether's $163B pivot changes everything: They're building an entirely new US-specific stablecoin. Not upgrading USDT, starting from scratch. Why? GENIUS makes their global product essentially non-compliant for US users. The world's stablecoin market is splitting: compliant America vs wild west everywhere else. The MSTR speculation: Saylor's sitting on 600,000+ BTC worth $71B. What happens when he launches a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin? No Treasury backing needed - just 150% BTC collateral and smart contracts. GENIUS just cleared the path. Big Tech needs banks now: Amazon can't launch WalmartBucks without a banking partner. One paragraph transformed every bank from disruption target to necessary partner. JPMorgan's already ahead with JPMD on Coinbase's Base; tokenized deposits, not stablecoins. Your competitors are asking: - Which stablecoins to integrate? (USDC leads in the US; USDT leads international) - Partner with a bank to issue our own? - How to rebuild treasury for instant settlement? Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Bessent projects $2 trillion in stablecoins "soon". That's $2 trillion in forced Treasury buyers. We invented a machine that turns global dollar demand into US debt purchases. The paradox? Stablecoins aren't Bitcoin's enemy, they're its Trojan horse. Every company integrating stablecoins is one API call from Bitcoin payments. The 12-month implementation window isn't a grace period. It's a race. In five years, not using stablecoins will be like not using email. The GENIUS Act didn't regulate an industry. It legitimized a new financial operating system. What's your strategy - build, partner or watch from the sidelines?

politics obscures truth. bitcoin or culture: ideology halts progress. reason over tribes. ship for customers. usage decides.
