We are living through the late stages of the US fiat empire (1913–present).

It’s remarkably clear to those paying attention, yet the masses remain almost completely unaware.

A few recent indicators:

• Inflation remaining stubbornly high despite rapid interest rate hikes

• Surpassing $1T/year just to service the interest on the national debt

• TikTok ban as a foot in the door technique to try to control the internet

• DOJ arresting Samourai devs to try to deter private financial transactions

• The remarkably idiotic unrealized capital gains tax proposal by Biden

However dire these developments may appear, they are the signs of a desperate, flailing empire, grasping at its waning relevancy amidst insurmountable technological and informational changes.

The fiat ponzi cannot be tapered. And #Bitcoin cannot be stopped. Tick tock.
