Really disturbing: Bitcoiner and aspiring Presidential candidate in Suriname, Maya Parabhoe, appears to be in distress. Posting on X minutes ago:

"Help.

Life and family unde threat. SOS"

Not sure what we can do right now, but say a prayer and follow the story. One of our own may be under attack.

GM, I've been slowly but surely weening myself off of Google. Harder than I thought it would be but worth it!

I really wanted to believe Trump - Vance would be good for the American people. And you know what, the pro-Bitcoin stuff they're doing I see as a real positive.

But man, this Israel shit is ruining them for me. The Presidency and the Congress are still feckless puppets for the military industrial complex and/or the Israel lobby. The Proof of Weapons network as Simon Dixon describes it.

Same shit different day. Ah well. Stay humble and stack sats it is. Control what you can control. 🫔

Bitcoiners are the new capital allocators.

We’re living in a brand new world—nothing will ever be the same again. What made sense before was just habit: the consistent, daily reinforcement that Keynesian dollars could get you things. More fiat meant more stuff.

But those assumptions were built on sand.

Now, with perfect money, capital allocation among Bitcoiners follows a different logic. It’s grounded in real economics—Austrian economics—with a focus on hurdle rates, opportunity cost, and long-term value.

Just like Bitcoiners found each other by following reason to its conclusion, their investment choices often arrive at similar endpoints. But there’s a twist: perfect money creates a paradox. When your money appreciates exponentially for doing nothing, it becomes harder to justify spending or investing it at all.

That’s the challenge: if Bitcoiners don’t actively defend the medium of exchange property, they risk losing the very status that made them the capital allocators in the first place.

Before Bitcoin can become the default medium of exchange, it has to reach critical mass. But its strength—unparalleled appreciation—makes spending it feel irrational in the short term. The opportunity cost is too high. That disincentivizes everyday usage, which stalls progress toward mass adoption.

Bitcoiners face a choice: delay spending and preserve gains—or spend with purpose to build the future. That’s why Bitcoin capital allocation has to expand beyond ROI. The hurdle rates vary: some investments are about returns, others about aesthetics, ecosystem growth, or purpose.

Using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange doesn’t make short-term ROI sense. But it’s a long-term, purpose-driven decision. The real return? Staying in control of capital allocation. Cementing Bitcoin’s role as not just a store of value, but a currency in motion. Until that happens, fiat still wins by default—easy to earn, easy to spend.

So let’s show the world what Bitcoiners can do. Back the people, brands, and companies willing to build on Bitcoin. Prove that Bitcoiners don’t just spend—they allocate with conviction. We can mint new brands overnight simply by choosing where we spend.

That’s how we stay the capital allocators.

And right now, there is no higher ROI than securing Bitcoin’s place as the medium of exchange through a thriving circular economy.

Great post 🫔

A shortcut for understanding geopolitics:

If an organization includes the words "world," "international," "united," or "union" in its name, it is an organized crime racket.

Western institutions that lost all credibility between 2014 - 2024:

Legacy Media

Governments

Healthcare

Academia

Medicine

Banking

Finance

Military

Law

The whole damn thing is being held together with glue sticks and bubble gum. I think most throughout society are still in denial though. Or sound asleep.

Clown world.

The world is ruled by organized, violent, criminal con artists.

Once you realize this, world events begin to make a ton of sense.

Good question, and I don't know how that will play out.

My guess is that we will see multi-polar economic blocks where citizens will transact in their local currency, save in Bitcoin and gold. Meanwhile nation states and multinational corporations will be the most disrupted with competing digital currencies.

For 99% of people, the best strategy for wealth preservation is saving, not investing.

Investing requires a high level of intelligence, skill, and emotional regulation. I'd bet there are only a few hundred thousand people on the planet who are truly cut out for investing in equities. I'm almost definitely not one of them.

For everyone else, the simple strategy is best.

Produce something of value. Save in hard money. Get on with enjoying your life. Simple and effective.

I'm at the point in my #Bitcoin journey where I truly DGAF what's going on in the macro.

I buy a little bit every day. When I have large fiat inflows I smash buy a lump sum. I transfer from the exchange to my multi-sig vault effortlessly.

Psychopath mode from here on out. Fuck the fiat overlords. Their time is up.

Good morning fellow Brutal Americans
