I watched "In the Hand of Dante" recently, and while it was a shitty movie, it did have a great line,
"If you look at something for long enough, you see what's wrong with it."
I think that can explain what's been going on with the Bitcoin community in the last 12-18 months.
I got all of the patriotic feels over the last few days in DC celebrating 250. Between parades, flyovers, and the red, white, and blue all over, the spectacle did a number on me like it was supposed to.
Today, though, I am came back down to Earth.
One week of overwhelming spectacle does not forgive decades of authoritarian oppression from the US Government.
We don't forget the endless money printing.
We don't forget the forever wars.
We don't forget the crimes against humanity.
We don't forget the mass censorship and surveillance.
We don't forget COVID and the harmful jabs.
We don't forget the monsters in Epstein's network.
It was good to put those aside for a few days and remember that America is the best nation on Earth.
It is time to get back to work in keeping it that way. And that means a long memory, relentless effort, and eyes on the true north of this country which is individual liberty and autonomy, ordained by God.
America is the greatest nation in human history because it is the nation of people who love liberty, believe in the divine spark that resides in every individual, and will fight any force that denies its people life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I know recent years have been bleak, and there are several signs of decay in America. But I believe Americans will remember who we are, and fight for liberty once again.
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇲
Happy 250 🇺🇲
God Bless America 🇺🇲

All Bitcoin Demand Matters

Take that, bear market
A voice of reason sounds like a schizo to an insane society.
I got to spend the afternoon with my family today, playing and goofing off with my little nephews. Perfect weather too. I even manned the grill for the fan.
It is blissful days like today that make the hard days worthwhile. What a blessing.
I like holding my own money
In episode 1, I interview the founders of Bitcoin Commons, a new Bitcoin node implementation that is 100% Bitcoin and 0% Core.
Please enjoy!

Good News: It looks like the US and China will not be on a collision course to war against each other.
Bad News: It looks like the US and Chinese governments and tech oligarchs will be collaborating to enslave the world population in an AI surveillance system that aims to eliminate individual sovereignty and autonomy.
It is still the State versus you and me. Carry on.
Stablecoins are stable in that they pen you in to a digital prison like a farm animal.
It's likely the case that most people will not get Bitcoin because they do not want to go through the painful awakening process that accompanies understanding Bitcoin.
The federal government would make sense if we elected a President who's sole job is to protect and grow the nation's sovereign health amd wealth. The military would report to the President. The President would hire a small team to manage fnance and operations, and everyone would have performance based pay structures. You could get rid of literally e everything else that the government currently does.
Many who became powerful and influential under the Fiat Standard despise Bitcoin because it exposes them as incompetent, irrelevant, and impotent. Which is what those people fear the most.
