So true. Yes, it helps to filter your viewpoint through AI to pickup better wording here or there. However, the critical part is the original thought process.
The forced US regional bank consolidation looks a lot more Chinese than original or accident.
Time piece. Back when people used to have those.
The fundamentals often get lost between FOMO and fear. Enjoyed chatting with #[0] and look forward to monthly conversations.

If you ever question why things like 2020’s COVID “pandemic”, 2008, The Great Depression, or WWI & II happen.
There’s plenty of evidence that proves this is more than likely the real truth. 👇👇💪
Most of these events are not accidents but the motives of greedy men.
That’s why we #bitcoin and #nostr.
Agreed #[1]!
For those having that feeling of despair, there is hope and you can find purpose but it is not in money or things.
It comes from within yourself and the work that you do with the skill you’ve been blessed with.

A quick note I jotted while on a call in 2020 or 2021.
What seemed obvious & misunderstood in the moment (a VC bubble), became reality in 2022/2023.
We are seeing the unintended consequences of a 🌎 driven by reckless VC deals/valuations.
The relentless gobbling up of businesses forced price increases + exponential hollow “growth” at the expense of pricing out the middle and lower class.
All to create a bunch of empty unicorns, for a few dudes to pound their chest, and to satisfy 3-5yr Excel exit models. Spreadsheet math and astronomical multiples got us to the point where we are… bank failures.
The process is always the same, only different dates, people, and firms.
It feels like even the headlines are recycled.
The FED calling SVB and $FRC “outliers” is the same as JPM, UBS, Credit Suisse and other banks blaming “rogue traders” as the cause of 2008.
Winners don’t place blame. They solve problems.
The fundamentals of #Bitcoin continue to look strong and are strengthening as traditional banks catch 🔥🏦🔥.
It’s the same cycle. These things take a while to play out. https://open.substack.com/pub/kanemcgukin/p/time-money-and-people-change-liquidity?utm_source=direct&r=99ex&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
“Truth” is the conspiracy.
The “conspiracies” are the truth.
That’s what the 2020’s are revealing.
More please.

Did PayPal actually walk back the ability to take $2,500 from your account if they don’t like what you say?
keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.
