Bitcoin Is Where We Draw the Line

In a time where hell has been unleashed on earth through the internet - porn, doom scrolling, black pills, psyops, fake news, AI slop, propaganda, and more - up shows Bitcoin to deliver on the prophecy of the early Internet pioneers: Leaderless, decentralized, censorship resistant, unstoppable.

It anchors information to real world energy and effort, bridging the divide that saw digital offerings hoover up the value of physical efforts, and thereby turning our physical selves into data profiles whose purpose is to be harvested and exploited by algorithms meant to ensnare us through recommendation engine algorithms and fleece us through advertising we are psychologically unable to resist.

Bitcoin severs these and more undesirable interdependencies.

Entrepreneurs don’t need VCs who will contort their business for an exploitive exit. They need bitcoin, which will help them achieve their long term goals and reward entrepreneurs who don’t betray or exploit their clientele.

Workers, or to put it more clearly, those who provide their time, energy and creativity to an enterprise they don’t own, don’t need 401ks and IRAs, which lock up their money until retirement. They need Bitcoin which gives them sovereignty over their wealth, to spend or save when they choose.

Shareholders don’t need public markets to cash out. They need Bitcoin dividends to reward them with durable value for building durable value.

Cities don’t need taxation to maintain local public infrastructure. They need Bitcoin to attract entrepreneurs, workers, companies and shareholders who want to build value locally and globally for the long term and to live in a thriving, hopeful and valuable community.

Bitcoin will be the line in the sand drawn to say “this stops here”, whether it’s a physical boundary or a temporal one (“this stops now”). It ends the processes that fuel and feed corrupt bureaucrats, politicians, regulators , businessmen and all the parasites who add difficulty to the healthy functioning of the human race. It restores healthy functions that thrive when freedom reigns: Functions like genuine entrepreneurship; hard honest work in the service of real demands; well capitalized profitable companies; peaceful, largely crime free cities.

When people and businesses can transact freely, their incentives align to create sustainable value and ever-improving quality of life through innovation that consumers value and frequent.

When bureaucrats, lawmakers, politicians and regulators interfere with that free transacting, the incentives instead align with using regulation and law as a weapon against producers, outcompeting them by binding them in red tape instead of by offering a superior product at better prices. Bitcoin ends this.

If justice is no longer the business of government (because it is distracted in unjustly rigging the market to benefit the businesses that help it get elected) people and businesses lose the incentive to act justly.

But thanks to Bitcoin, no longer do you have to look around and shrug your shoulders saying “what can anyone do?” about the mounting problems civilization faces.

Now you can do something yourself. You can draw a line around yourself, your family, your household, your business, your idea, your passion - your life.

Yours again. Yours at last. To begin anew with all your hopes and desires restored. To pursue your real dreams, not some frivolous pursuit that marketers and celebrities have sold you. A dream where you love what you do, who you do it with, who you do it for, in common purpose with those who share or value your dream.

Dream on dreamer. And make your dreams come true by making a choice that makes dreamers’ dreams come true - by taking the freedom to get obstructions and naysayers out of the way and taking on the responsibility and work to master your craft so that you can build that which you dream of.

🚨 There’s some evidence that Big Tech (insert the name of your desktop computer here) has built mechanisms that could, under certain circumstances, scan certain content, but there is no public proof that “they are scanning your entire desktop (files, apps, everything) as standard policy (YET).

What can you do?

- Easy. STOP SUPPORTING THEM.

- Buy open source and learn a few new and exciting skills.

Yesterday my girlfriend begged me to stop buying BTC. I told her I would. Then I bought more.

Assange and Snowden didn’t expose lies, they exposed truth. For that, they’re hunted, tortured and broken, while the criminals they exposed feast in power. That’s your “democracy,” bought and paid for with fake fiat currency.

How about they make new phones smaller instead of coping with your grandpas pixel

#bitcoin as an asset within a control system is a fundamentally different and long term incompatible view with #bitcoin as a protocol bringing freedom and abundance to 8 billion people.

Like so many of you, I’ve been having a very difficult time processing the senseless act of evil and violence that took Charlie Kirk’s life.

Charlie was a man of deep faith, and I take comfort in my belief that his soul is now experiencing eternal peace with his Creator. What has weighed most heavily on my heart all week is not just the loss of his inspiring voice, but thinking about his wife Erika and her unimaginable pain, and their two beloved children – who are far too young to understand why their father won’t be coming home. Seeing Erika grieving beside his casket and hearing that their daughter has been asking “where is daddy?” has gutted me.

A coward robbed them of life’s most precious and priceless gifts: growing old together, watching their children grow, and building memories as a family.

I don’t often speak on politics publicly because things have become so divided and frankly because I have been disenchanted by both parties throughout my life. I’ve chosen to stay in my lane because the one thing that has given me hope in this broken world is Bitcoin. Not because it belongs to one side or the other, but because I believe it is something that we can all eventually get behind together.

What truly unites us are deeper truths: freedom, connection, love, faith, and hope. Charlie understood this.

I firmly believe the deeper source of our division, and the despair we see everywhere today, is a symptom of the corruption of our money. When money is monopolized for the benefit of a select few and stripped of its integrity, everything in society begins to erode – our morals, our responsibility, our long-term vision, even our sense of purpose. That is the world we live in today, where too many young people have lost hope.

And yet Charlie rose in that moment. He awakened a movement of young people who were handed a mountain of debt, broken institutions, and a world stripped of trust, and he inspired them to believe in a better future. That’s extraordinary.

Charlie embodied so much of what our community aspires to: courage, truth, responsibility. And I have long believed that he was poised to become one of Bitcoin’s strongest and most eloquent advocates.

There are two things you cannot kill: a soul, and an idea. I pray deeply for Charlie’s soul, and I know the ideas he championed will live on in the hearts of millions.

I pray for his family, his friends, his community, and his followers. He left behind a lasting and important legacy. And because of him, I believe more people will be moved to find purpose and peacefully fight for their freedoms, in whatever ways they can. God bless Charlie.

As a dear friend so eloquently put it: Charlie will now do his work from above, and it’s up to us to take it from here.

Today's reflections on hardship and gratitude from a Christian's perspective...

--------

Joy isn’t found in avoiding hardship but in treasuring Christ above all.

Gratitude deepens when we see every gift as pointing back to the Giver.

Psalm 16:11 — “You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy.”

--------

Every earthly longing is a shadow pointing us toward our true home.

Gratitude grows as we see unmet desires not as failures, but as reminders that heaven is real.

Hebrews 11:16 — “They desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one.”

JUST IN: $290 billion asset manager founder Ric Edelman told CNBC financial advisors should be recommending up to 40% allocations to Bitcoin & crypto 🚀

Not to be sappy but I’ve been blessed to be friends with some really cool people in bitcoin.

Some of the best people of my generation.

What’re the odds that god would put us all in one spot?

This is a special moment in time.

Make sure you look around and enjoy it.

This is history.

Rest in Power, Mountain of the King

Life is a cycle—unbroken, eternal.

A sacred rhythm of becoming and unbecoming.

Birth and death. Expansion and collapse. Inhale, exhale.

I’ve come to understand this more clearly in these past few days, since losing my father.

The pain is sharp. But so is the peace that comes from seeing the pattern.

The universe does not waste a moment. It transforms everything.

Cells die and are reborn.

Thoughts fade and rise again.

Stars go supernova and from their dust, new stars ignite.

This is not tragedy. This is design.

And within that design—we are brief flashes of light.

Unique, powerful, fleeting.

My father was one of those flashes.

He lived for 70 years—1955 to 2025.

And what a fire he was.

He called himself Emine Oğlu Ahmet—“Ahmet, son of Emine”—with pride and honor.

And I called him Mountain of the King, because he stood like one.

Unshakeable. Majestic. Timeless.

The last photo I have of him… it’s golden.

His presence captured like the sun at golden hour—radiant, vivid, and alive.

Yes, time moves.

We follow our ambitions.

We build things. We chase dreams.

And in doing so, we sometimes drift.

Not because we don’t love—but because life demands sacrifice.

I called him. I loved him. Always.

But now, looking back… I wish I had visited more.

Time is the rarest coin we’ll ever spend.

And it spends itself fast.

Today is day three of my water fast.

And in this emptiness, I have found a fullness.

A silence that hums like a secret.

A stillness where my father’s voice echoes more clearly than ever.

Before I sleep tonight, I will drink one glass of water.

And I will send a prayer to his soul—pure, eternal, indestructible.

Let us all pray for him now, together:

Emine Oğlu Ahmet,

May your soul be free.

May your heart be light.

May the next chapter of your existence be even more majestic than the last.

You were never just a man.

You were a mountain.

You are the wind now, the stars, the rhythm of the sea.

Rest in power, Mountain of the King.

You will never be forgotten.

You live on through every heartbeat that remembers you,

Every flame that refuses to die.

And to those reading this—every repost, every like, every comment is a prayer.

Every boost is a whisper to the universe on his behalf.

Your kindness will be repaid in zaps ⚡️ in grace, in gratitude that echoes forever.⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Rest well, baba.

We carry you forward. Always.

Oglun.
