Broken money survives on bubbles, financial engineering, and quiet theft. It rewards leverage over labor, and feeds on instability and moral decay. Sound money is different. It rewards saving, innovation, and time. One system extracts. The other builds.

Progress is not guaranteed. It can regress when societies forget what they have already learned. Human history is full of lost knowledge. Truths understood, then buried, then rediscovered centuries later. The Earth was known to be round long before it was “discovered” again, and the wheel existed in isolated cultures without transforming civilization. Breakthroughs can exist without spreading, and they can be erased if they are not protected. Money is no different. Sound money is not a new idea; it is ancient knowledge. Hard money preserves time, labor, and truth across generations. When that knowledge is forgotten, societies drift into debasement, debt, and control. Bitcoin matters because it encodes that lesson, not as theory, but as software. It preserves monetary knowledge in code, not institutions. So it cannot be forgotten the way gold standards and hard constraints were. If this fire goes out, we regress. If it survives, we move forward. Civilizations don’t fail from lack of intelligence; they fail from lost memory.

They once said real flying machines would take millions of years. Not because physics forbade it, but because their materials were weak and heavy. They confused current limits with permanent laws. They mistook imagination for impossibility. A few decades later, humans were in the air. Money followed the same pattern. Experts said sound, digital money was impossible without rulers, banks, or permission. Bitcoin proved otherwise. Experts don’t predict the future. They project the present. Every breakthrough looks impossible right up until it isn’t.

Central planning fails for one simple reason: it assumes knowledge can be centralized. It can’t. Information is scattered across individuals, shaped by local conditions and real-world experience. When decisions are pulled into a single authority, those signals get distorted or ignored. This is why price controls fail, why bureaucracies grow inefficient, and why large systems become fragile over time. Errors don’t disappear. They accumulate quietly until they surface as crises. Austrian economics explained this clearly. Value is subjective. Knowledge is dispersed. Order is discovered through voluntary interaction, not imposed by design. Open systems adapt because anyone can challenge them and exit if they fail. Closed systems demand trust and loyalty, and when exit is restricted, stagnation becomes inevitable. Progress doesn’t come from better planners or smarter models. It comes from systems that allow experimentation, failure, and correction without needing permission.

The blood won’t stop until the shitcoins and scam projects are flushed out. This market only heals through liquidation. Leverage dies. Narratives die. Pretend innovation dies. What survives is real. Bitcoin doesn’t need mercy.

Lows: 53–54k Highs: 70–71k Mid-range: ~63k We haven’t tagged the lows. We’re parked at the middle. If price chops here all winter, that’s not pain. That’s time. Time to stack. Time to let weak hands get bored. TA says range. Conviction says keep stacking.

Production is not a competitive sport, and it is not a zero-sum game. When one region increases output, everyone benefits. Higher production makes goods cheaper and creates more demand for others’ products. The more people use modern machinery and industrial capital, the higher productivity rises, and the more trade flows. No society can reach advanced technology in isolation. Progress depends on a global division of labor. A single advanced region in a world of less developed societies would fall behind compared to one connected to other productive regions. The more productive the global system, the greater the demand everywhere. Producers gain from scale and from each other’s innovations. Growth in one place fuels growth elsewhere. Those who try to stop production because they feel threatened aren’t protecting anyone—they’re just blocking progress. Industry doesn’t wait for permission.

People trade the S&P, FX, gold, and every other paper instrument because they believe those games help them accumulate more Bitcoin. That assumption is wrong at the root. Those markets exist to extract your time, attention, and capital, not to preserve it. They are built on leverage, dilution, policy risk, and custodial trust. You are playing inside systems that can halt trading, change rules, print supply, or confiscate gains the moment it suits them. Bitcoin is the exit from that game, not a chip inside it. When you trade equities or FX, you are accepting fiat units as the measuring stick. You are optimizing for fiat gains first, then hoping to convert what’s left into Bitcoin later. That mental model already lost. If fiat was worth optimizing for, Bitcoin wouldn’t exist. You don’t need to dilute the milk. Mixing Bitcoin with legacy assets doesn’t make you safer. It makes your conviction weaker. Truth mixed with falsehood doesn’t become balanced. It becomes compromised. Bitcoin is not a trade. It is a monetary system. Stocks are claims. FX is policy. Bonds are promises. Gold is custody risk. Bitcoin is final settlement. Every extra market you touch introduces counterparty risk, regulatory risk, time risk, and behavioral risk, all for the illusion of “getting more BTC.” If your goal is more Bitcoin, the cleanest path is the one with the fewest moving parts. Earn. Save. Hold. Self-custody. Repeat. No intermediaries. No side quests. No narratives. Trading fiat instruments to reach Bitcoin is like running laps inside the prison to train for freedom. Bitcoin doesn’t need hedging. It doesn’t need diversification. It doesn’t need help. It needs time, patience, and conviction. If you understand Bitcoin, you don’t touch anything else. Not because you’re reckless. Because you’re done pretending fiat systems are neutral. Bitcoin only.

The Epstein files weren’t about Bitcoin, they were about pumping their USD shitcoin bags, which tells you exactly which money is broken.

The beauty of Bitcoin is that every bad actor eventually gets exposed. You can hide behind narratives, past contributions, or influencer status for a while. The network acts like an immune system. It doesn’t care who you were during the block size wars or what badge you earned years ago. It only surfaces who is extracting and who is building. Influencers pushing their bosses ideas into Bitcoin under the banner of innovation are not defending freedom or sound money. They are trying to turn a permissionless system into free marketing real estate. JPEGs stuffed into blocks, token logic smuggled into Layer 1 discussions, and ethical lines blurred for personal gain are signals of decay, not progress. Bitcoin does not operate on trust. It operates on verification. Reputation does not grant special rights, and past heroics do not buy future exemptions. The network has no memory of your X following and no respect for your origin story. This is why cycles matter. They flush out corruption, nonsense, and moral compromises. What remains after the flush is what was real. This year’s Bitcoiner can easily become next year’s shitcoiner. The protocol keeps moving forward, indifferent, exposing everything in its path.

Bitcoin stacked is power preserved. Don’t reset, don’t surrender.

Bitcoin’s behavior has not changed over the last three cycles. The market structure, incentives, and human reactions remain the same. New instruments like ETFs may change access, but they do not change the underlying dynamics of Bitcoin or the psychology of investors. In every cycle, adoption increases steadily at first. As price begins to move, attention follows. This attracts a wave of new participants who are not interested in understanding Bitcoin as a monetary system, but are instead looking for quick gains. When volatility appears, these participants panic sell. That selling pressure is what creates the bear market. Bitcoin itself does not fail. The asset simply transfers from weak hands to strong hands, as it always has. What follows is a long period of consolidation. Several years where price action is boring, narratives disappear, and only those who take the time to learn remain. This period is where understanding is built and conviction is formed. Then a new group of investors enters the market, largely unaware of what happened in previous cycles. The same mistakes are repeated, and the process starts again. This pattern is likely to continue for years. Not because Bitcoin is broken, but because fiat systems are still functioning well enough in most places. When fiat systems begin to fail more visibly, first in weaker economies and eventually in stronger ones, Bitcoin’s role will become obvious without explanation. Bitcoin does not change. The environment around it does. And people learn only when reality forces them to.

The internet didn’t change the world because it was fast or easy. Early on, it was slow, unreliable, and confusing. What mattered wasn’t the user experience, but the structure. For the first time, information could move without permission, without central control, and without needing trusted intermediaries. That shift wasn’t obvious at first. Most people saw email as a worse fax and websites as pointless brochures. Experts dismissed it because they judged it by what already existed, not by what it enabled. But once open protocols were in place, innovation exploded in directions no one could fully predict. Bitcoin follows the same pattern. It is not trying to be a better version of existing money. It is changing the architecture of money itself. Like the internet separated communication from institutions, Bitcoin separates value transfer from institutions. In the early stages, this feels uncomfortable. The system looks inefficient. The interface is rough. The trade-offs seem strange. That is exactly how every permissionless network looks before it reaches critical mass. The internet didn’t win arguments. It outgrew them. Bitcoin is doing the same thing.

Fiat is evil. It steals your time, erodes your savings, and forces you to work harder for less. Bitcoin doesn’t ask, it preserves. Choose sound money.

Sound money enables trade beyond borders and beyond short time horizons. When money reliably holds value, people and firms can plan, invest, and specialize with confidence. Goods move peacefully to where they are most valued, and capital follows opportunity rather than political favor. This expansion of trade produces long periods of growth, even if it is punctuated by financial crises. The deeper effect is civilizational. When economic relationships are stable and mutually beneficial, the incentive for violent conflict declines. History shows that societies integrated through sound money and trade are not free from instability, but they are far less inclined toward war. Trade does not eliminate crises. It replaces conquest with cooperation. Sound money makes long-term prosperity possible and peace more likely.

After the new global order settles, the narrative will shift on cue. You’ll be told the WEF was never in charge, just middle management, a convenient scapegoat for decisions made higher up the monetary stack. Names will change, faces will rotate, and responsibility will evaporate. Power never disappears. It just rebrands once consolidation is complete. This entire structure is built on monetary control. Fiat money allows blame to be diffused, costs to be hidden, and failures to be socialized. Money printing funds obedience, asset inflation buys silence, and debt keeps populations dependent. As long as currency can be created without consent, hierarchy remains insulated from consequences. Bitcoin breaks this mechanism. It removes the ability to rewrite reality through liquidity. It exposes who pays and who benefits. It forces economic truth to surface instead of being buried under stimulus, leverage, and narrative management. This is why institutions fear it. Not because it is volatile, but because it is honest. As the system strains, the psychological detox accelerates. Trust erodes. Official explanations feel heavier to carry. People stop defending narratives not because they’ve reached enlightenment, but because maintaining belief becomes exhausting. Reality intrudes faster than propaganda can keep up. Eventually, people don’t argue anymore. They look for exits. Not political exits, but monetary ones. A way to opt out of dilution, manipulation, and permanent emergency policy. Bitcoin is not a revolution of slogans. It is an escape hatch from monetary capture. This is how systems built on illusion unwind. There is no apology, no accountability, no admission of failure. Just pressure, applied economically, until alignment breaks. When it’s over, everyone will claim they always knew who was really in control.

Bitcoin will not magically create a peaceful, borderless world. It is not a social movement or a moral philosophy, and it does not change human nature. People will still compete, borders will still exist, and bad incentives will still produce bad outcomes. What Bitcoin does is far more specific and far more powerful. It protects wealth across space and time. It removes the ability to quietly debase money, inflate savings away, and shift the cost of bad decisions onto others. It doesn’t promise fairness. It enforces honesty. Bitcoin does not fix broken societies. It exposes them. It forces economic reality to surface instead of being buried under money printing, leverage, and financial engineering. This is why fiat politicians are not Bitcoiners. Their entire model depends on protecting asset prices at all costs. High real estate prices require cheap credit. Cheap credit requires money printing. Inflation is not a bug. It is the mechanism. The idea that any fiat politician will willingly support a system that removes their monetary control is fantasy. Immigration policy, stimulus, and endless liquidity are all tools to keep the debt machine running and asset prices elevated. Under a Bitcoin standard, productivity, savings, and long-term thinking are rewarded. Short-term extraction and rent-seeking are not. The system does not care about narratives or intentions, only outcomes. Bitcoin is not a promise of harmony. It is a tool for monetary truth. And truth is uncomfortable for systems built on illusion.

Strange. I was told Bitcoin is volatile.

Time preference shapes everything. A society with low time preference plans, saves, and builds for the future. A society with high time preference consumes, borrows, and prioritizes today over tomorrow. Having a child is a low time preference decision. It requires patience, sacrifice, and confidence in the future. You commit years of time and energy with no immediate payoff, only responsibility. Fiat money pushes behavior in the opposite direction. Inflation rewards spending now and punishes saving. The future becomes less predictable, and long-term commitments feel increasingly risky. High time preference becomes rational. Dual-income households are less about choice and more about necessity. One income no longer preserves purchasing power, so both parents must work just to maintain their standard of living. When time feels scarce and survival feels expensive, long-term commitments are delayed. Fertility falls not because people reject family, but because the system makes low time preference behavior harder. Low fertility is not a cultural accident. It is a monetary signal. When money erodes trust in the future, people shorten their time horizon. Sound money lowers time preference. It restores confidence in tomorrow, rewards patience, and makes long-term commitments viable again. Families, savings, and stability follow. Break the money and society adapts. Fix the money and behavior changes.
