Happy New Year, freaks. Have been sitting on this for a decade. Going to enjoy it with my wife tonight.
Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous 2026.
It may not always seem like it but we’re going to win.
The case for a tax revolt has never been stronger.

Thank you, Shawn!
The bitcoin quantum FUD is just another iteration of “can the devs do something?!”
A bunch of LARPing by people not close to protocol development who have overlooked that “the devs” have been talking about and researching solutions to this “problem” for years.
It looks like China is again looking to "ban" bitcoin mining.
A lot has changed since they banned mining in 2021.
In 2021, network hashrate was ~160 EH/s. Today, there is ~7.5x more hashrate.
In 2021, China had 40-60% of hashrate. Today, they have ~14%.
In 2021, the United States had relatively abundant excess electricity. Today, supply is tight due to increased demand from AI hyperscalers.
This Chinese mining ban will bring with it less network disruption and new back end benefactors in the form of countries with excess energy that isn't being bid up by AI data centers.
It's crazy how much can change in a little over four years.

Let me know what you think:

I’m good.
This was one of the more interesting conversations I've had on the show this year.
Johann Kurtz is the author of Leaving a Legacy. A book about how wealth comes with the responsibility of duty over one's dominion, how wealth should be passed down and why the trend of boomers spending all of their money or giving it to charity is a travesty.

Not mad, just disappointed. Sad.

I don’t recall ever being invited to this show.
The Trump administration seems to be leaning into industrial policy in the same way that the politicians of James J Hill's time were in an attempt to build out the American rail system.
Central planning never works, and I find it hard to believe it will work in this context.

A lot of victim mentality from bitcoiners during this chopsolidation phase.
Stop complaining. Attack.
Get your bitcoin off the exchange. Teach others how to self custody. Convince your local Square merchant to turn bitcoin payments on. Move your life to a bitcoin standard.
Insane. The Age of AI Cyberattacks is upon us.
If at first you fail to convince people with good ideas, make it illegal for them to share their own ideas.

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.

We discuss:
⚡️ US is fiscally boxed in with zero leverage
⚡️ China wants regional hegemony, not empire
⚡️ Taiwan is America's biggest bargaining chip
Don't get distracted by the monotony, boredom and noise that currently exist in this market. Take a step back and recognize that the trend is very much on your side.
Bitcoin is doing just fine.

Pre-crime tech will be set live in the US next week. The only good thing the government is good at is leveraging fear and (sometimes government organized) attacks to take away your freedoms.
