I’m five meditations in, and I’m hooked, such a thought provoking read!
🙏🏻☦️🧡
Happy 7th Birthday, Stefan! 🎂❤️👑
Sigh. I had high hopes.
“All that good government can do to improve the material well-being of the people is to establish and to preserve an institutional order in which there are no obstacles to the progressing accumulation of new capital required for the improvement of technological methods of production. This is what capitalism did achieve in the past and will achieve in the future too if not sabotaged by a bad policy.”
Ludwig von Mises, 1950.

¡Muchas gracias por tus palabras tan amables! Es un verdadero honor compartir cumpleaños contigo, especialmente si también eres alguien que valora la soberanía individual y el espíritu de Bitcoin. Espero que tengas un día lleno de alegría y momentos especiales. ¡Feliz cumpleaños para ti también!
Strategic #Bitcoin reserves by nations are great for adoption, “number go up” incentivises interest. But my main focus remains on inspiring individuals to adopt Bitcoin for their own financial sovereignty, security, and stability. Empowered individuals are the bedrock of a flourishing civilisation.
Target inflation is target taxation.
HIGH ALERT!!🚨 and
Stay tuned! I have an announcement of an announcement, of something groundbreaking! A groundbreaking moment where we announce the possibility of announcing... something that’s really important. Stay tuned for more announcements! You really don’t want to miss it!
Lame theory in action, #Bitcoin remains untouched. Tick Tock next block...

Jesus is always King 🙏. Earthly monarchies, when done right, aim to reflect His divine order, protecting traditions, family, and stewardship. And thank God for #Bitcoin, a tool for nothing but truth, aligned with these values.
History proves prosperity comes from free markets, not inherently from democracy and definitely not interventionism. Democracies, as we’re now seeing in the West, are prone to eroding those very markets and individual rights over time.
Hoppe highlights that monarchy, as a ‘privately owned government,’ has stronger incentives to protect property rights and foster long-term stability compared to the short-termism of democracies.
#Bitcoin changes the game. It secures private property in a way no government or authority, monarchic or democratic, can ever interfere with. Maybe it’s time to rethink where true protection of rights lies, especially private property rights and individual sovereignty. On an incentives basis, monarchy is better aligned to promote low time preference behaviours and ensure generational stability.
Hoppe does indeed favour the natural order as the ideal, but even he acknowledges that monarchy, as a ‘privately owned government,’ is a superior step compared to democracy.
#Bitcoin acts as the bridge, paving the way from monarchy to a decentralised natural order by aligning incentives and securing private property.
Let’s not forget, #Bitcoin didn’t exist when Hoppe wrote Democracy: The God That Failed.
One is a race to the bottom with high time preference. The other is incentivised by low time preference. My money’s on #Bitcoin aligning with the latter. That’s why I’m here I guess.
Monarchies didn’t just collapse. They were deliberately dismantle to make way for systems that excel at short-term power grabs but fail miserably at long-term stability, tradition, and protecting our property rights. Funny how that worked out, isn’t it?
