Will miss this unfortunately….
Anyone in your crew heading down to Queenstown for BitKiwi on March 1?
“A soft landing to a Bitcoin standard takes time, and a hard landing is a non-starter for national security.”

Bitcoin doesn’t care….it will “land” how it lands. Preservation of “nation security” is the furthest from its priorities.
It is literally reorganising all of society/civilization. Slowly at first. Then suddenly. The current abstract notion of “nations” will have completely dissolved by the time it’s done….
Let’s stop trying to glue wings on a caterpillar and calling it a butterfly. No group of humans or top down govt/organisation is controlling (not able to control) its emergence.
Be thankful for that 🙏🏻
The paradox is that the human mind can’t understand this truth “intellectually”. But it can sense it when the mind is very very still….🙏🏻
Look deeper 👁️😌
….this moment/the now is all there is. Ever eternal. It’s the human mind with its abstractions of past and future that sees it as temporal….

Except soooooo much more….
Imagine being able to trade microscopic “pieces” of that land instantly and with no borders across the globe….
And then building layer upon layer of new tech on top of THAT.
With no friction removing value (from the big govt/corp silos).

When I was young and naive I was trying to change the world….
Now that I am old and wise, I am changing myself. 👁️ 🦋
Level 7….bitcoin is a tool to level humanity up to the next stage of human evolution…

The reaction of the US Tsy market would be fun to watch if that happened.
As long as you grew your own food and didn’t live within a 400 mile radius of an urban population 😵😝
China Afternoon Missive
Now the commentariat shifts focus to #China. No deal was struck with the US, meaning that Xi Jinping was unwilling to take the Trump call, unlike Trudeau and Sheinbaum, and now the 10% tariffs are formally on. For its part, China has followed with 15% tariffs on certain US imports albeit starting next week.
Expect there to be an ungodly deluge of headlines and social media commentary. Please take all the “hot takes” with a large grain of salt. The US is operating from a position of bellicosity, nothing more. Moreover, when you take a moment and actually consider all pressure points from both sides, you’ll quickly find that China is equally positioned if not the party with actual leverage.
The only certainty is that there’ll be more volatility across all asset classes. Stay safe out there fam
China to levy additional tariffs of up to 15% on select U.S. imports starting Feb. 10 https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/04/china-levies-tariffs-on-select-us-imports-starting-feb-10.html?__source=iosappshare%7Ccom.apple.UIKit.activity.CopyToPasteboard
Thx for your insight. Pls keep it coming 🙏🏻
Was reminded of this verse after watching the “crypto” purge over the past 24 hours….
I sense heeps of “crypto-bros” died and were reborn as Bitcoiners today….
“For those with eyes to see and ears to hear”
Ok ok. I’ll stop with the “sermon” 🤣

Brilliant and thanks for your candor.
My background is debt markets and international finance.
I sense a massive dislocation brewing in 2H 2025 for “western” sov debt markets.
Requiring central bank intervention on a scale not even seen during Covid.
Massively inflationary (with a slight lag) by early 2026.
Gold and Bitcoin will springboard to previously unimaginable levels. And if Bitcoin manages to stay decentralised and secure, it likely de-monetises gold (and sov debt) by 2029-2033.
Faster than even most “maxis” are expecting.
Just my 2 cents. 😉
I sense trumps overplaying his hand and China knows it….
Time for Xi to (formally) repatriate Taiwan? Or too soon?
Aaaaaaaamen 🙏🏻☀️🧬🦋
