Have you noticed what happens when you stop reacting?

When you quit explaining yourself, something powerful shifts. People suddenly lose their control over you—almost immediately. And it’s fascinating to watch.

They don’t actually need your silence. What they need is your reaction—your defensiveness, your desperate attempts to be understood, your emotional outbursts. That’s what they feed on. They thrive on that energy.

When you stop giving it to them, they have nothing to work with. Nothing to manipulate. Nothing to use against you.

Some people unconsciously structure their entire relationships around provoking reactions from others. It gives them a sense of power, of importance. They need you upset to feel in control.

The moment you stop playing that game, you take all of the power away—not by fighting hard, but by not fighting at all.

It’s not about winning arguments. It’s about recognizing which ones aren’t even worth having. #bitcoin #money #hardtruths

Did you lose friends when you built the lifestyle you have nowadays?

I wouldn’t say I lost friends, but my friend circle has changed a bit. When you reach a certain level, you want to keep being inspired. Personally, I get inspired by hanging out with certain people who have a certain level of energy.

Some of my older friends don’t share my vision of the future. So no, I didn’t lose friends, but the people I hang out with on a daily basis have been changing over the years.

I think the Trump administration wants Bitcoin and gold to go way higher and faster than most people can even fathom. The reason why is something called the Cantillon Effect. Basically, what happens is as we print more money—since the U.S. has to keep printing more money as the reserve currency of the world—we want to send money out to the world and also get GDP to grow.

The problem is that this creates inflation, and citizens don’t like that. So how do we get money into the system to grow the economy without causing massive inflation or pricing millennials out of homes? They can’t buy stocks, and everyone’s mad at the boomers and all these types of things.

Well, remember Bitcoin is the most sensitive to liquidity. So, if Bitcoin becomes a liquidity sponge and soaks up the majority of that liquidity, we could see Bitcoin go up by 10x, while real estate might only go up by 10–15%, and the S&P 500 might also only go up by 10–15%. That could help hold prices down.

When you find BITCOIN herewith is what happens..

Intellectual loneliness isn’t about craving “deep conversations” over herbal tea. It’s about realizing how rare it is to find someone who doesn’t short-circuit the moment a thought has more than one layer. It’s noticing that most people don’t want to understand — they just want to win the gold medal in the Being Right Olympics. It’s watching friends build their entire belief system from a headline, a TikTok dance, and something Karen from Facebook shared in 2017.

It’s the awkward pause after you say something that doesn’t match their mental IKEA instruction manual for reality. And no, it’s not that you think you’re smarter than everyone — it’s just exhausting having to dumb yourself down so you don’t trigger the mental equivalent of the Windows 95 blue screen.

Nobody tells you this: once your brain stretches, small talk doesn’t just bore you — it feels like your soul is stuck in an elevator with bad hold music. You’re not searching for “smart” people anymore. You’re searching for people who haven’t outsourced their thinking to Instagram Reels.

The future will likely reward those who can bridge human wisdom with AI capability, not those trying to compete with machines at what machines do best.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #bitcoin

Any technology that necessitates heavy capital expenditure and requires returns to be earned

over an extended period is always going to be a high-risk undertaking –

unless, that is, there is some form of protection against competition...

BITCOIN has the difficulty adjustment.. what does AI have? #bitcoin

Im at that stage in my life where lots of people come to me for career advice.

They ask me which career to focus on, which company to apply to and how to invest.

My advice is always the same, regardless of what question they ask me.

Study Bitcoin and AI like your life depends on it..

Because it fucking does!! #bitcoin

Whether it's on X or in leisurely social settings, more and more, I've noticed that as crypto prices rise a kind of hubris emerges with it that ridicules the nine-to-five as a form of mindless slavery. In seemingly innocent ways, work is reduced to a hamster wheel of futility in the form of memes and posts that mock the daily grind.

This cynicism is not only immature but profoundly disrespectful to the generations who toiled to build the world we inhabit. From our parents’ quiet sacrifices to the countless hands that shaped our cities, roads, and institutions, work is in fact the backbone of human progress.

In this essay, I argue that work, when approached as a form of service, is actually a noble act of worship that honours life, and that the disillusionment fuelling such ridicule stems not from work but from a broken monetary system—fiat currency eroded by inflation and mismanagement. By embracing sound money like Bitcoin and gold, we can restore justice to the rewards of labour, ensuring that effort endures in value as it does in spirit.

The Nobility of Work as Service

Work is not merely a means to an end; it is a profound expression of human purpose. My parents, like many, rose each morning to provide for our family, their steady effort a testament to love and duty. Their labour was not a mindless sprint on a wheel but a deliberate act of service—to us, to their community, and to a greater good. This aligns with the principle, articulated in many spiritual traditions, that work performed in the spirit of service is akin to worship. The Bahá’í writings, for instance, elevate work to a sacred act:

“It is made incumbent on every one of you to engage in some occupation… and to consider it as a means of nearness to God.”

This perspective reframes labour as a bridge between the material and the spiritual, where effort becomes a way to honour the life bestowed upon us.

Worship, in its deepest sense, is not confined to rituals or prayer; it is the act of aligning one’s actions with purpose and gratitude. The philosopher Simone Weil spoke of attention as the purest form of prayer, suggesting that to focus fully on a task—whether crafting a table or balancing accounts—is to engage in a sacred act. When we work with intention, we cultivate our talents, heed our calling, and contribute to a world that thrives on mutual effort. This is not drudgery but a noble pursuit. To dismiss work as meaningless is to overlook its role in shaping character and society, a perspective that betrays both ignorance and ingratitude for those who laboured before us.

The Disillusionment with Fiat Money

In my view, the cynicism surrounding work masks a deeper discontent—not with labour itself but with a system that undermines its rewards. For decades, workers have poured their energy into earning wages, only to see their savings eroded by inflation, a silent tax imposed by fiat currencies like the pound or dollar. Fiat money, untethered from any fixed standard, is subject to debasement through arbitrary money printing and reckless fiscal policies.

As economist John Maynard Keynes warned, “By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.” This erosion of value feels like a betrayal of effort, fuelling the sentiment that work is a trap.

The roots of this disillusionment lie in systemic flaws. Central banks, in their attempts to stimulate economies, often print money to fund deficits or bailouts, diluting the purchasing power of every dollar earned. Add to this the age-old tendency toward warfare, which diverts resources and inflates costs, and the result is a currency that fails to reflect the justice and fairness labour deserves. The philosopher Karl Marx, while perhaps flawed in his prescriptions, astutely critiqued systems that alienate workers from the fruits of their labour. Today, that alienation manifests not in ownership of production but in the diminishing value of wages saved over time.

The Case for Sound Money: Bitcoin and Gold

If work is to be honoured, its rewards must endure. This brings us to the case for sound money—currencies like gold and Bitcoin, which resist arbitrary debasement. Gold, valued for millennia, is finite (at least on Earth) and cannot be conjured at will. Its stability has made it a store of value across cultures, from ancient empires to modern markets. Bitcoin, a digital counterpart, operates on a decentralised network with a fixed supply cap of 21 million coins, immune to centralised manipulation. As economist Saifedean Ammous argues in The Bitcoin Standard, “Bitcoin… enforces a monetary policy of predictable scarcity,” aligning with the principle that money should reflect the effort it represents.

Both gold and Bitcoin embody justice in their design. They are not subject to the whims of policymakers or the inflationary pressures of war and mismanagement. By preserving value, they ensure that a worker’s effort today retains its worth tomorrow, respecting the dignity of labour. This is not to say they are flawless—gold is cumbersome, Bitcoin volatile—but they offer a framework where the rewards of work are not eroded by forces beyond one’s control. To honour work is to demand a monetary system that upholds fairness, where the sweat of one’s brow is not diminished by the stroke of a central banker’s pen.

Reclaiming Work’s Purpose

The ridicule of work as a hamster wheel is a symptom of a deeper problem—a world where effort feels disconnected from reward. Yet, this is not a reason to scorn labour but rather to reform the systems that undermine it. By viewing work as an act of service and worship, we reconnect with its intrinsic value. The carpenter who builds a home, the teacher who shapes minds, the nurse who heals—these are not hamsters but architects of a better world. As the sociologist Max Weber noted, work ethic is a cornerstone of societal progress, binding individual effort to collective flourishing.

For me, reflecting on my parents’ sacrifices, for which I can never express enough gratitude and respect, I see work as a legacy of love and resilience. Their efforts, like those of countless others, built the schools, hospitals, and roads we take for granted today. To mock this is to dishonour not just them but the very foundation of our lives. Instead, we must celebrate the pursuit of usefulness—finding our calling, honing our skills, and contributing to a world that demands our best. And we must advocate for a monetary system that respects this effort, one where value endures as surely as the fruits of our labour.

Work is not a curse but a calling, a sacred act of service that binds us to each other and to the divine gift of life. The cynicism that paints it as futile stems from a broken system, where fiat money betrays the worker by eroding their rewards. By embracing sound money like Bitcoin and gold, we can restore justice to labour, ensuring that effort is met with lasting value. Let us reject the shallow ridicule of work and instead honour it as the noble pursuit it is—a testament to our parents, our predecessors, and the potential within us all to build a world that reflects our deepest values, ideals and highest aspirations.

Thoughts?? #asknostr #bitcoin #soundmoney #hardmoney

Learnt a valuable lesson today.. varsity buddy who was very close when we heard about BTC at $4.75 in 2013… we’ve kinda kept in touch and remained friends.. he just sold his business and wanted some advice.. made an appointment for 4pm.. at 6.30pm he hadn’t arrived. Guess what… no advice and no friendship. Disrespect goes along way once you understand how the world works via BTC!!! So good luck to him. #bitcoin

The EQ of a Sugar-Crazed Toddler

You’ve met them. They’ll interrupt your pitch to flex their title, but ask them to handle a team conflict, and they freeze like a deer in headlights. Emotional intelligence? Zero. They can’t read a room, can’t handle feedback, and think “empathy” is a new AI tool. Instead of being straight-up about what they don’t know (or can’t do), they hide behind vague promises like “we’ll revisit this in the next sprint” or “let’s align on the optics.” Translation: they’re stalling because admitting “I’m out of my depth” might crack their fragile LinkedIn bio. #fiatiscancer #linkedin #bullshit

The possibility to free ourselves from the insanity that we call statism and law has arrived. It is from the inviolability of the mathematics which animates cryptography that a new form of economic, social, and political power has been created: cryptosovereignty. By rendering the violent physical force of the state legal machine and other barbaric adversaries useless in the digital space, cryptography creates a kind of value that is outside of the control of any and all states through a liturgy of math that renders the physical world repugnant. Bitcoin is the creation of a new kind of socio-political digital-economic commonwealth which is the resounding and messianic answer to the question: quis custodiet ipsos custodes? #bitcoin nostr:nprofile1qqstm84k2lp9knmvmf5gw88zvfvar7duvfpqfplryfystdn55ug2gkspz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzvuq32amnwvaz7tmjv4kxz7fwv3sk6atn9e5k7tcn92nqy #cryptosovereignty

Would it be moral or ethical to design legal systems using pen and parchment which are (1) insecure against systemic exploitation and abuse, and (2) must be enforced and secured using lethal kinetic power, if society discovered a non-lethal and non-destructive alternative to warfare? Imagine if society were to discover a way to write down policies using C++ instead of parchment, then enforce and secure those policies using physically harmless electric power. A discovery like that could change society’s perception about the moral value of traditional laws and warfare simultaneously. #bitcoin #softwar

TikTok promoting XRP because ISO20022….

Systems security is a trans-scientific phenomenon. It involves difficult, unquantifiable questions about system design, morals, and ethics. These types of trans-scientific questions would likely become a major topic of conversation if society were to discover a soft form of warfighting – that is, a new way of settling policy disputes in a zero-trust and permissionless way that is physically incapable of causing injury. #bitcoin

Legendary!!!!!

Bitcoin relies upon two sources of unpre­dictability: trans­ac­tions and proof-of-work. Just like nobody can predict what tomor­row’s newspaper will look like, nobody can predict what the next Bitcoin block will look like. You can’t predict what trans­ac­tions are going to be included because you can’t predict what trans­ac­tions are going to be broad­cast in the future. And, more impor­tantly, you can’t predict who will find the solution to the current proof-of-work puzzle and what this solution will be. #bitcoin #pow #hardmoney

55 year old acquaintance asked me today whether he should go all in on BTC. He has plenty BTC already plus a business that makes $30k USD per month nett.. the answer was simple! YES and do it as quickly as possible... because the train is fucking increasing in speed and its breaks have failed. #bitcoin #hardmoney

Mate! You have a wealth of knowledge..

If you could get consensus to change something in BTC - what would it be? Everything you’ve said makes sense for someone who is very non technical… interesting stuff though!

So do you disagree with the statement made by GiGi?🤝

Thanks for the reply. I’ll do some research on this 🤝🙏

Truth, not authority creates legitimacy.

Some information.. spoke to 2 people today from 2 big banks in South Africa. Both deep in the data space within the organizations..

One said banks are a necessary evil and believe they have the right to control money for “terrorist and nefarious” reasons and the other (elder lady) - says fuck the banks and she is riding it out and making as much money as she can until retirement..

Asked what causes inflation.. crickets.. none of them have a clue.. it’s scary how early we are..

They both said XRP is good and typically I asked what it does - “replaces swift” - I vomited my steak I was eating…

Showed circulating supply and total supply and they both had the oh fuck that moment..

Anyways - we keep educating!

#bitcoinonly #hardmoney #deflation

Stopped that years ago.. good for your wife.. it’s needed but my personality and finnese explaining to normies.. my patience runs out.. your wife is a saint!! Trust me having loads of BTC might seem great in theory but humans aren’t meant to have multiples more than they need.. more of anything increases more risk and more stress…

Only person truly understood BTC in my circle in my brother - I think there might be a hint of fiat virus left but everyone still thinks buy at X and selll at Y and your a genius. Fiat is cancer. BTC is natural chemo therapy. People “trust” the science instead of thinking outside the big pharma walls. #bitcoin

Bumpy is an understatement.. fiat world still think they are doing the “right thing” - banks , insurance, retail all believe their data strategy is the right way when us plebs understandable run a node.. stack sats and educate as many people as possible whom wanna list.. not many in my circle (more like a pin drop) look at me funny.. also left all the community groups because the signal is weaker and weaker. I don’t think I’ll genuinely make it to 2030-2035 because the world will be so fucked up by then that what I have can be used by the wife and her kid.. it’s a terrible plan but I don’t see a way out..
