we are going to free samourai and then repeal the bank secrecy act

The problem with allowing nons to finance a burrito bowl is they lack the intellect to know it’s a bad financial decision. And by the time they’ve realized it, they’re buried so deep in debt that they can never climb out of it.

This is usury. And usury is a sin.

BREAKING: #Gold funds see record weekly inflows.

Investors poured a staggering $4.7 billion into gold funds this week, marking an all-time high.

People aren’t migrating to pay anybody’s pensions. Don’t be naive.

Absolutely incredible headline from the New York Times 😂

In 20 years there will be 20k billionaires in the world and half of them will be bitcoiners.

Buy a lambo?

Nah

We’re buying a seat at the table.

X is a freaking tinderbox right now.

Everyone is pissed at Elon for flip-flopping on his free speech promises, and they're also mad at themselves for falling for his lies.

We haven't seen the floodgates open into #Nostr yet (partly because people are so fatigued by the aforementioned free speech promises that keep falling flat), but make no mistake...MILLIONS of seeds are being planted over there right now to stop trusting centralized authorities, no matter how alluring their messages of being "different from the rest".

Once a few big names with enough of a spotlight make the jump over here, and spread the gospel back to their X audience, we're going to see a tsunami of freedom-minded folks joining the purple party.

Get excited. Not one single nostrich soul is bullish enough on what's coming ⚡️🚀

It’s okay to have fun.

I'll be teaching a History of Economics elective next semester and other than your books and the two volume Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought by Rothbard...what would you recommend?

Bitcoin has now been working and trading for 15 full calendar years. It's time to see how it's doing and run some numbers.

On Jan 1, 2010, there were 1,624,000 bitcoin in circulation trading at around $0.001 each. The total market capitalization of bitcoin was ~$1,624.

On Dec 31, 2024, there were 19.803 million bitcoin trading at around $93,389 each, for a total market capitalization of $1.85 trillion.

In total over the 15 years, the size of bitcoin cash balances has increased by 110,400,000,000,000%, or around 110 billion percent.

If, during the next 15 years, bitcoin grows at only 1 ten millionth of its growth rate over the last 15 years, it grows to a total market cap of around $210 trillion, making it larger than all the world's fiat currencies and government bonds combined.

In such a world, a government may be able to keep its shitcoin alive if it doesn't inflate its supply too much (a big if, and an even bigger may). Whether they do or do not is largely inconsequential, because either way, inflation won't be able to touch the majority of the world's wealth.

Any bitcoin bearish thesis needs to present a coherent explanation for why bitcoin's next 15 years are going to have a growth rate that is significantly lower than a ten millionth of the rate of the past 15 years. Don't expect to hear one from people who get paid from the inflation bitcoin will kill.

Happy 2025!

Fiat is over if you want it!

No doubt illegal immigration needs to be squashed.

But I'm on the fence that America must increase legal immigration.

Elon is looking at this in economic terms, and that America will "win."

But is America just a workshop?

Is economics most important? What about common culture? Common traditions? Common views on morality and God?

If America "wins" economically, does it lose all of the other aspects that make it America?

I sure hope not.

Ever wonder what a different version of your life could look like?
