Love that blackrock is coming into #bitcoin and dragging all their buddies with them.

FTX should be a warning sign to all legacy institutions that this ain’t gold and silver.

If you short bitcoin and try to sell paper you don’t own, you’ll fuck around and find out.

Blackrock is on our battlefield now.

We have the Highground.

We are the captain now.

Good luck to all participants.

To the point…

BJ and I are aiming to bridge the gap between the concsiouess of bitcoiners and people in the political world.

What can we do to bring people together and build a community of free thinkers and people sticking up for liberty and first principles.

If we can understand where people are coming from and that we are all psychological beings and ALL operating from some level of cognitive dissonance than we can better debate and share ideas.

Once someone is too far down the road though it is almost better to walk away and find someone else to communicate with.

Much of society (especially media and academia) is operating off of false assumptions and the false prison of two ideas, perpetuated by the “confuse-opoly” we have created for ourselves.

This is why we see so much discord and dissension.

Polarization and hate are fueled by those looking for eyeballs to pad their bottom line.

We the plebs are caught in the crosshairs and become canon fodder.

Freedom loses out.

Fiat currencies incentivize this behavior because they lose their value and everyone is left thinking about “what is good for me now” instead of worrying about how can I impact the future for us all.

This is generally a subconscious matter that must don’t take the time to think about how broken money is destroying their every waking second.

Keep your head up.

We have the solution.

Separation of money and state.

Stay strong.

The “science is always changing” yet the sCiEnCe doesn’t want to debate you, so how do we know science is always changing? 🤯🤡🌎

That actually makes perfect sense, considering he’s the first human on the planet to not be a doctor, but be billed as a doctor by all of media and academia.

Pretty amazing feat quite honestly.

As Nolan Bauerle would say bill “toll booth” gates or now, bill “pizza” gates. 🤡🌎

The year is 2023.

We still let govt take our time & energy through property taxes to pay for outdated govt-run schooling.

Literally no oversight & minimal opportunity to change.

Incentives completely broken with #fiat

#Bitcoin returns us to sound money aligning incentives.

Start mobilizing and organizing using #nostr to turn this tide.

Societal decay summed up in 60 seconds:

Where families once thrived in close-knit communities, where generations lived under one roof, and the wisdom of the elderly was revered, we now find ourselves caught in the whirlwind of a frenzied existence, detached from the core values that defined us for thousands of years; we work tirelessly for a mere paycheck, sacrificing the precious bonds with our loved ones, entrusting the education and upbringing of our children to distant institutions, as we strive to meet the ever-increasing demands of a corrupted monetary system that keeps us perpetually enslaved to the notion of financial security; the wise elders, with their wealth of experience and knowledge, are cast aside as society neglects to acknowledge the invaluable contributions they could make, allowing their wisdom to dissipate like whispers in the wind, while we foolishly pursue the elusive mirage of eternal youth and vitality; and as the sands of time continue to shift, we find ourselves consigning our elderly parents and relatives to the impersonal halls of group homes, alienating them from the warmth and love they once knew, all in the name of progress and convenience, forsaking the sanctity of familial bonds and shattering the intergenerational connections that once nurtured us; in this relentless pursuit of financial security and materialistic desires, we lose sight of what truly matters, trading the joy of togetherness for the fleeting pleasures of an empty consumerism, leaving our children stranded in a desert of neglect and isolation, deprived of the guidance and affection they so desperately need, as we chase after the elusive dream of success, unwittingly sacrificing the very essence of our humanity, disconnecting from the fundamental values that have sustained civilizations for centuries, and succumbing to the hollow promises of future that values “owning nothing” and thinking that will bring “happiness” above the sacred bonds of family and community.

WE FOUND ANOTHER PLAYABLE CHARACTER! 😉

One of the deepest thinkers in #bitcoin that most don't know yet...but they WILL.

Thanks @Dante_Cook1 for helping me think about things in ways I didn't think I could. More importantly for being a great friend.🙏

I have to share this message I received from Ken McElroy in his newsletter.

I think it’s very pertinent to the times we’re living in and I had to share in my blog.

He is a Rich Dad Advisor for Robert Kiyosaki and is one of the smartest real estate and entrepreneurial minds that I know.

He often shares things that are real estate or business related.

Today he shared something even more profound.

When you find people that are very good at something you would be smart to study them and observe what they do.

One of the greatest benefits of the lockdowns is that it forced many of the smartest minds in the world on to the internet.

Ken was one of those people. Someone who rarely showed his face or made any content.

Now there are hundreds and thousands of people like him that are now available to learn from.

Enjoy!

From Ken McElroy -

In today’s society, I have noticed people don’t value relationships like they used to. People hop from job to job, they stop talking to friends, and even family members. They are so self-absorbed that they don’t really think about the importance of the relationships they have in their life. They want to get from point A to point B, but they don’t stop and think about who helped them get there.

The most successful people I know value and cherish relationships. Relationships are important. Whether in business, personal, or likewise. Business relationships bring opportunity and the relationship you choose to have with your friends and family can bring happiness.

Throughout my life, I have leveraged the relationships I have built. In fact, I was hired on my first job as a property manager with no experience through a friend of mine. He worked for someone who needed a property manager and referred me. He referred me because we had a good relationship and I was a good. I then did a great job as a property manager and leveraged my relationship with my boss to get a better job. I have done this my whole life. I built my career as a young man who didn’t have a dime in my pocket to where I am now by valuing the people I have met. Some have helped me and others I have helped. It works both ways.

Value the relationships you have. Whether in business or in your personal life. These relationships will bring you happiness and opportunities. Don’t ever burn a bridge, because burning bridges will get you stuck while building and repairing bridges will always lead to further growth.

————————

This was too good not to share.

My parents alway told me not to burn bridges and to do the right thing and it has served me very well in my life in getting to the highest levels.

Business and life doesn't have to be cutthroat if you don’t want it to be.

You make life what you want it to be.

I hope you found something from this as it resonated with me and reinforced for me the importance of slowing down and taking a breath to understand what is TRULY important around me.

Stay strong.

“Infinite banking” is big in the life insurance industry.

Would you rather participate in compounding 3-6% returns and a 3rd party still controlling your wealth?

Or would you rather infinite #bitcoin & borrow instantly against your asset that appreciates ~100% CAGR?

When you buy #bitcoin you are selling dollars.

Or said a different way…

Buying the new world and selling the old crumbling world.

In the age of consumerism and economic disparity, one critical tool remains conspicuously absent from the arsenal of educational institutions: financial literacy.

As we delve in to this world of personal finance, a perplexing truth emerges—a truth deliberately concealed from the masses.

We know this is a problem and yet we still don nothing and remain uninvolved for our most precious asset; our children.

Please join me as I continue to unravel the ills of our society and what we can do to fix them.

Please share this out with as many people as possible as the algorithms hate truth, and we are our own best hope.

Reason 1: Perpetuation of Consumerism

In a world driven by relentless advertising and unquenchable desires, ignorance is not only bliss but also profitability.

The powers that be understand this all too well.

By obfuscating financial literacy from the curriculum, they ensure a steady flow of malleable consumers—individuals ill-equipped to resist the siren call of materialism.

Without the necessary knowledge to navigate the deep waters of personal finance, the masses become easy prey, falling into the clutches of impulsive spending, mounting debts, and an insatiable appetite for unnecessary possessions.

Financial illiteracy sustains the cycle of consumerism, serving the interests of those who profit from our collective ignorance.

Reason 2: Preservation of Economic Inequality

As the world grapples with widening economic disparities, the absence of financial literacy in schools plays a pivotal role in maintaining the status quo.

Those in positions of power and privilege understand that knowledge is power—an understanding they use to their advantage.

By withholding financial education from marginalized communities and low-income individuals, the system perpetuates a deeply-rooted inequality that denies them the opportunity to break free from the shackles of financial adversity.

It is through this deliberate exclusion that the divide between the haves and have-nots continues to grow, leaving the disadvantaged struggling while the privileged prosper.

Reason 3: Influence of Special Interest Groups

Behind the scenes, hidden hands manipulate the educational landscape, ensuring the absence of financial literacy remains steadfast.

Special interest groups, including banks, credit card companies, and financial institutions, revel in the financial illiteracy of the masses.

With each passing day, those making the rules profit from our ignorance, exploiting unsuspecting consumers through hidden fees, exorbitant interest rates, and endless financial products.

Their nefarious grip on the system tightens as financial education remains a distant dream.

By evading the light of financial literacy, these entities safeguard their control and preserve their stranglehold on the unsuspecting masses.

As the veneer of deception slowly lifts, we gain insight into the insidious reasons behind the omission of financial literacy from schools.

The perpetuation of consumerism, the preservation of economic inequality, and the influence of special interest groups form the foundation of this dark conspiracy.

However, knowledge is power, and by recognizing the machinations that conspire against us, we can begin to challenge the system.

Please stay tuned as we uncover more layers of this captivating tale, shedding light on the hidden truths that shape our financial world.

Remember, in a world where ignorance is bliss, it is crucial to arm ourselves with the tools of financial literacy and rise above the orchestrated ignorance that seeks to keep us in chains.

What you don’t know can and will hurt you.

The world has changed and we were put here specifically for this very time to change the world and make it a brighter place for all people.

More coming on the General Education Board and John Rockefeller’s influence from the agrarian age into the industrial age and how it changed our family structures and livelihoods forever.

Stay strong.

Are bitcoiners wrong for being with OK that SEC is coming after cryptos?

Obviously this week has been crazy and some of my thoughts…the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed lawsuits against major cryptocurrency exchanges, Coinbase and Binance.

While some individuals within the Bitcoin and crypto community may have mixed feelings about this development, it is important to understand the underlying principles that make Bitcoin unique and why it continues to thrive in the face of regulatory challenges.

The Freedom of Bitcoin:

Bitcoin stands apart from other cryptocurrencies because it is more than just a digital asset. It represents freedom of speech and is built on a foundation of code, functioning as a decentralized protocol.

This means that there is no central authority or leader who can be influenced, corrupted, or silenced.

Bitcoin's true believers dedicate their lives to protecting this code and its principles, ensuring its longevity and resilience.

Regulation and Bitcoin:

While some may view the SEC's actions as an infringement on personal liberties, it is worth noting that consistency in applying existing rules can have positive implications.

Even if one questions the legitimacy of the SEC and its regulatory power, it is possible to acknowledge the significance of cracking down on scam projects that deceive and harm individuals.

Consistency allows for people to make sound decisions when one knows the landscape.

This nuanced perspective allows us to recognize the benefits of regulation while also questioning its necessity.

Bitcoin's Fundamentals and Growth:

Bitcoin's underlying fundamentals have never been stronger. The increasing number of Bitcoin wallets and the growth of its hash rate, which represents the computational power securing the network, attest to its expanding user base and overall network strength.

Moreover, governments worldwide are recognizing Bitcoin as legal tender, further solidifying its position as a viable and trustworthy monetary system.

Security and Auditing:

One of Bitcoin's remarkable qualities is its transparency and security.

Individuals have the ability to run their own nodes and independently audit the code and software.

The Bitcoin network is the most scrutinized and secure computer network in existence.

The confidence in its protocol has led many to invest their time, capital, and energy into Bitcoin, as they believe in its potential for long-term value.

Bitcoin vs. Crypto Exchanges:

It is important to distinguish Bitcoin from the broader category of cryptocurrencies and the centralized exchanges where these assets are traded.

Bitcoin's true essence lies in its decentralized protocol, which is separate from the operations of exchanges and other cryptos/altcoins.

While centralized exchanges can play a role in facilitating the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies, they have nothing to do with Bitcoin itself.

In the end:

Bitcoin's resilience and value stem from its decentralized nature, its ability to protect freedom of speech, and the robustness of its underlying protocol.

As we navigate regulatory challenges and witness Bitcoin's continued growth, it is crucial to understand its unique qualities and remain vigilant in protecting and promoting the principles that make it a revolutionary force in the world of finance.

Remember, #Bitcoin is not just another crypto asset—it represents a fundamental shift in the way we perceive and interact with money (our time and energy) and freedom.

Stay strong.

Yes. 100%. They do it with life itself and kids, your education, time and energy, so how could any of us think #bitcoin will somehow be different…🤷🏼‍♂️

Yes love the psychological learning and share. We all can get better in this area. 💪🏻

🤣🤣🤣🎯

In to the breach.

Remember why you fight.

Life is a test.

Will you stand or will you shrivel up in the moment of truth?

Insurance companies will all be buying #bitcoin  hardcore in the coming years or they will all go bankrupt and sink with the US treasury market.

Tick tock.
