If money is information and 75% of economic activity within a system is controlled by the state, you can reasonably conclude that 75% of all communication within that system might be a psyop designed to preserve power and control. It might not be explicitly planned that way, but rather a result of cascading incentives.
I don’t think this is scary. I think it is freeing. Because it means we’re not crazy, the control system is crazy.
And we have the tools to disengage.

Notes (20)
Once you deeply understand Bitcoin, you must take one of two paths. Both are painful.
1. Perpetual pain. Deny truth and live with cognitive dissonance that withers you away to nothing both mentally and physically.
2. Temporary pain. Mold your reality to match the deep truth you now understand. This will create change and friction in every part of your life but on the other side is integration and higher consciousness.
When Satoshi gifted Bitcoin to the world as an anonymous being, completely vanished, never to be heard from again, forever removing their physical body from the world…
We weren’t left with a person to debate, to disparage, to corrupt, or to annihilate when confronted with the profound truth they revealed.
We were forced to sit with that truth, contend with it, and act in relation to it. Because the revealer of truth was intangible, out of reach, yet ever present in the zeitgeist.
We were forced to confront ourselves within, not some fleshly corrupted “other”.
It revealed the truth within us despite a world full of lies. Because the change isn’t in others. The change isn’t Bitcoin. The change is in us.
Thank you, Satoshi.

On the red, white, and the green
And all the boys and girls are growin' up
In a strange American dream”

Saylor told you Bitcoin's killer app is digital credit huh?
Bitcoin is the asylum for mankind.
Saylor saying Bitcoin’s killer app is digital credit is very cringe.
I repeat, these systems are incompatible.
Zero problems that people are trying to solve through politics and the political process can be solved in a system built on fiat currency.
Bitcoin is The Political which decapitates the evil head of the old system and allows problems to actually be solved in a meaningful way. Because solutions are no longer produced via theft and coercion.
This Jordan Peterson quote about pursuing truth has really stuck with me the last few years.
“If you say the truth and nothing else, you will have an immense adventure as a consequence.
You will not know what is going to happen to you, but you have to let go of clinging to the outcome. You have to let go.
The truth will reveal the world the way it is intended to be revealed. The consequence for you will be that you will have the adventure of your life. The other part of that ethos - which makes pertect sense to me and I cannot see how it can be any other way - is that whatever makes itself manifest as a consequence of the truth is the best possible reality that could be manifest, even if you cannot see it.”
For us left-curve plebs, Bitcoin is a path to higher consciousness.
I believe Bitcoin-backed fiat loans are amoral and help perpetuate the evils of the fiat system.
Bitcoin is about owning, not owing. In both the economic sense and the deepest philosophical sense.
You can’t fight fraud from within a monetary system built on theft.
Veterans Day is such a complicated holiday.
Intelligence without ethics creates a self-fooling prophecy.
The narrative that this year’s massive OG whale distribution is due to finally being able to realize Bitcoin wealth without persecution is valid. The less discussed element is that this may be the last period to predictably due this.
Over the next decade, it’s very likely that both red and blue teams clamp down on the fiat bridges to Bitcoin. The Bitcoiners locking in now are the ones locking in for war.
Give me freedom money or give me death!
