Since I’m not going to X and it’s usually my main source of news, anyone up here got news from what’s going on in politics, money, or Bitcoin that I may not have heard?

I’ll zap 210 sats for each thing I hadn’t heard that I find interesting or good to know. 👍🏻

Huh weird. Must just be a coincidence 🤷🏻‍♂️

Which is less evil as an ISP,

Google or AT&T? 😂

GOOD MORNING 🤘

As someone who would like to see the federal government in the US shrunk dramatically, I believe a strategic bitcoin reserve accumulated via a mechanism like Bit Bonds is the only viable path to make a smaller government possible.

This may seem counterintuitive - "if the US government acquires bitcoin it makes them stronger." However, when you take a step back and think of the problem of the ever expanding federal government you realize that a large part of the problem is driven by the need to roll over debt by issuing new debt to pay it back.

This leads to a forced expansion of the federal government that can only be reversed if something new is introduced that can defease the debt without having to issue new paper. As it stands today, bitcoin is the only thing that can practically produce this defeasment.

The beauty of the bit bond idea is that it expedites the debt pay back by enabling the Tresury to issue longer-term bonds at lower rates, which works to decrease interest payments on debt that is being rolled over. An incredible kickstarting mechanism that provides immediate results. Imagine being able to point at the chart of the interest expense on the debt and show that the number is falling.

Bitcoin is for anyone, including governments, and it is a great asset that enables individuals, businesses and governments to think creatively by leveraging the benefits that come with adopting it during its monetization phase.

The path to shrinking the federal government dramatically over the next few decades only exists in a world in which the government adopts bitcoin as a strategic asset to begin paying back the debt.
