I don't care how low Bitcoin’s price goes because you I am holding forever. This Black Friday Bitcoin sale is merely an opportunity to buy some cheap Sats! image

You can build more houses. Mine more gold. Print more cash. Grow diamonds. Issue more shares. But you can’t create more #Bitcoin. Only 21M will ever exist, and many have already been lost. There are 58M millionaires. Do the math. Plan accordingly. ₿ image

Bro: “Yo, you catch the 49ers game last night?” Me: “Nah bro, I’m watching the final boss raid of human civilization. Fiat’s in freefall like it just rage-quit the economy. Central banks are in the basement summoning liquidity demons with 0% interest-rate circles drawn in chalk. Jerome Powell’s out here speed-running Quantitative Easing on Nightmare Mode. Janet Yellen’s dual-wielding debt ceilings. Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s forged the Master Key of Monetary Truth and is now enchanting corporate balance sheets with +1000 sound money buffs. The IMF’s casting spells in tongues nobody understands. The UN’s trying to patch reality mid-update. The main stream media is lagging like a dial-up modem in 2001. You’re over there celebrating a 45-yard field goal… I’m over here watching the Fourth Turning go parabolic while I time-travel with Sats, bro. You’ve got nachos, I’ve got Bitcoin” image

Today’s Topic: Bitcoin as Legal Tender Good evening, Bitcoiners! Today, let’s dive into how #Bitcoin is breaking barriers as legal tender and becoming a currency recognized by governments for payments and taxes. Buckle up for a journey into Bitcoin’s real-world adoption! In 2021, El Salvador made history by adopting Bitcoin as legal tender alongside the US dollar. This wasn’t just a stunt; it was a bold move to empower citizens in a country where 70% lack bank accounts. Bitcoin’s decentralized nature lets Salvadorans send/receive money globally, bypassing costly remittance fees (which can eat 20% of transfers!). Businesses must accept BTC, and citizens can pay taxes with it. The result? Financial inclusion on steroids. 🇸🇻 Fast forward to 2025: El Salvador’s Bitcoin program is thriving. Recent posts on X highlight female students graduating from Bitcoin education programs, showing grassroots adoption. The country holds thousands of BTC in its treasury, betting on its scarcity. Other nations are watching closely… some U.S. states like Texas and New Hampshire even started Bitcoin reserves in 2025. Why does this matter? Bitcoin as legal tender challenges fiat systems. Governments can’t print BTC to inflate away debt, and citizens gain freedom from centralized control. It’s a hedge against mismanaged currencies… think Venezuela or Zimbabwe, where hyperinflation crushed savings. Bitcoin’s fixed 21M supply cap ensures no one can dilute its value. But it’s not all rosy. Critics argue volatility makes Bitcoin tough for daily use. El Salvador counters this with the Lightning Network (more on that tomorrow!) for fast, cheap transactions. Regulatory pushback is real… some countries ban BTC, fearing loss of control. Yet, as Harvard’s Kenneth Rogoff noted in 2025, Bitcoin’s value lies in its role in the informal economy, competing with fiat in ways central banks can’t ignore. For Bitcoin maximalists, legal tender status is a step toward hyper-bitcoinization… a world where BTC is the global currency. It’s not just money, it’s sovereignty. You hold the keys, you hold the power. No bank, no government, no middleman. Takeaway: Bitcoin as legal tender isn’t a pipe dream, it’s literally happening. El Salvador’s experiment proves BTC can reshape economies, empower the unbanked, and challenge fiat’s grip. Run your own node, hold your keys, and join the revolution. image

Think you’re building wealth with stocks, real estate, or other “appreciating assets”? Hate to break it to you… you’re just trying not to drown in a pool the government keeps peeing in. Let’s talk inflation, taxation, and why Bitcoin matters. You’re not actually “getting ahead.” You’re treading water. Why? Because the dollar is constantly being devalued through endless government spending and money printing. Your house didn’t get more valuable. The dollar just got worse. Inflation is the silent thief. It doesn’t rob your wallet — it robs your purchasing power. And to keep up, you’re forced to buy assets like stocks or real estate. Not because they’re amazing, but because dollars are melting like ice cubes in July. But here’s the kicker… Once your assets “go up” in price (really just tracking inflation), the government shows up like: “That’s a gain! Time to pay taxes!” Never mind the fact that: •You bought them with already-taxed income •The “gain” isn’t real wealth •You’re just fighting inflation So let’s quickly summarize: - The dollar keeps losing value - You’re buying assets just to stay afloat - The government taxes your fake gains - Rinse and repeat Starting to feel like a rigged game? That’s because it is. Enter Bitcoin: A monetary system designed not to punish savers. Fixed supply. No central planners. No hidden inflation tax. It’s not just an investment — it’s an exit from the madness. Want to understand it better? Start with this book: The Bitcoin Standard by Dr. Saifedean Ammous I prefer audio books: Warning: it may permanently change the way you view money, economics, and history.

Slavery didn’t die. It evolved. It traded whips for wages. Chains for credit scores. Plantations for paychecks. Same principle. Different costume. 1. The brutality of physical slavery is rightly condemned and remembered. But a disturbing truth remains: the form of slavery extracting human time and labor by coercion never vanished. It adapted. 2. Today, most don’t wear iron shackles. But they’re bound just the same. Locked into debt. Tied to debased currencies. Trapped in systems they never consented to. 3. Modern economic systems extract time and energy through mechanisms no one voted for: inflation, taxation without transparency, and debt-based money. Work is siphoned off silently and somehow legally. 4. This isn’t to equate today’s injustices with the unimaginable cruelty of physical slavery. It’s to expose the continuity of form… the violation of human sovereignty through coercion. 5. True freedom means more than legal rights. It means ownership of your time, your labor, your energy. The old evil persists… just with polished language and paper shackles. 6. Until we call it what it is, it will keep evolving… smarter, quieter, more “acceptable.” Don’t just resist it. Exit the fiat matrix #Bitcoin
