FinCen and the Treasury are expanding the Patriot Act to attack bitcoin self-custody and privacy.

We shouldn't live in a world where standards cater to the lowest common denominator and make things worse for the overwhelming majority of the population.

nobody has a crystal ball but this is my current vibe:

12-18 more months of this bull cycle

fed will cut rates, we will likely rip this fall, will likely continue through 2026, intensity and price heavily dependent on macro

most new people will buy bitcoin penny stocks rather than real bitcoin because of x influencers

at some point most participants will believe this time is different, that we have entered a supercycle

people will then get greedy and overleverage themselves, take increasing risk

blow off top and and a great unwind

mstr will probably be fine, most bitcoin penny stocks rekt, a few may get caught in fraud, there will be a narrative that mstr is going to sell, which will drive panic

bottom of the next bear will likely settle over $100k

stay humble and stack sats

What do you think the world will be like 50 years from now, in the 2070s?

And specifically, what kind of tech do you think will surprise to the upside by that time, and become pretty dominant or ubiquitous? And what tech do you think will underperform expectations, and not exist at the scale that people now might’ve guessed would be common by then?

Serious question:

What would you do in the coming years if you were no longer a slave to government-sponsored fiat grind?

Asked another way, what does life on a #Bitcoin standard actually look like for you?

I guess I always just assumed (without much questioning) that it was a term that likely meant something else or was more specific that later was used as a name and became a broader term over time. Like “guy” was a literal name for a place or generally male specific tool or some shit like that.

Swann was similar to that and also Gunn (both words first) which is the Scottish clan that Swann originated from. For some reason I never thought much about my first name and where it originated. My curiosity was always focused on tracing last names through the generations.
