Through Jesus Christ: Do justice. Love mercy. Walk humbly with your God. - Micah 6:8

I hear you.

Time will tell... and a bear market will separate the wheat from the chaff.

Two things could drive a sustained premium to NAV... 1) Increased bitcoin per share over time; and, 2) Shrewd usage of leverage. -- Only time will tell which managers are able to do this through entire economic cycles. -- My hunch is that many will falter during the next bear market, their premiums will turn negative, and their bitcoin will get margin called away from them (and their shareholders).

I just graduated from USC.

I now have a bachelor’s in Business Economics and a master’s in Marketing, where I took over 42 units of finance and economics courses.

And still, none of those courses taught me what I learned on my own. No class explained the truth about the broken system we live in. It was brushed off.

I found that through late nights and early mornings studying Bitcoin, questioning fiat, and questioning everything I had ever been taught about economics, realizing the financial world is built on sinking sand.

Reading Broken Money by nostr:nprofile1qqsf9g5gd6vxdkc5dsngzu0scdtwtlhc7nuscz8cxxs4qtpd3fch5rg8h9v33 built the foundation.

Reading The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics by nostr:nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgkklh5m connected the dots.

The Big Print by nostr:nprofile1qqsypjyxzkns7qnxrylzsgh3h53e3sd86mq8auv24dr4mtkxdqlzjcc04yka9 lit the fire.

nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqngza3a podcast helped me put words to what I was feeling. Rage, urgency, hope, and purpose.

And hearing nostr:nprofile1qqst0dgucffpd4xpp0y94cns2hy6j307wl90633u7gajpyt7888xs9sqce8p9 about Bitcoin as a way to protect his kids’ future made me realize I want that too.

Bitcoin gave me clarity. It gave me hope.

Choosing Bitcoin isn’t about wealth. It’s about building something real for my future family. It’s the hardest money there is, one that comes with strong conviction.

I’m making a decision now, to become someone my future kids will be proud of and grateful for.

A decision to reject comfort. To choose discipline over dopamine.

I don’t want to waste my 20s watching Love Island, mindlessly scrolling TikTok, or watching football each week.

I want to understand the truth behind financial markets and why the system is built to keep us dependent.

I want to see through all the noise, stack sats, build conviction, become unshakable, and tell the story of sound money.

I’m not like the rest of my generation, and I’m okay with that.

Love it... Congrats!

Happy Paper Bitcoin Summer.

If you think Paper Bitcoin Summer is obnoxious, just wait until you see the Paper Litecoin Summer party.

lol

My Three Burners Theory of #bitcoin bull market price action.

Burner #1: Liquidity

Current setting: Medium

Burner #2: Economy

Current setting: Low (but starting to rise? ... watch ISM data)

Burner #3: Leverage

Current setting: Low

OPINION:

We won't see an exponential move (ie, a "blow-off top") until all three burners are on High.

If you showed 100 Americans a picture of a steak vs a picture of a seed oil-laden protein bar, I’m guessing that at least 80% would choose the protein bar as the healthy option.

Similarly, fried eggs vs a granola bar.

Pseudo-nutrition marketing is extremely powerful and misleading.

We’ve been seriously duped… much to our own detriment.

Discuss.

Actually, no.

That’s fine.

Fiber is not necessary, contrary to popular opinion.

Big pharma and fiat doctors want you to believe that cholesterol is "bad" and needs to be as low as possible... preferably through the purchase and consumption of statins.

I used to believe this as well.

But I am not here to give individual medical advice.

In general, the lower the processed food consumption, the healthier the body... and vice versa.

I appreciate the good work you do, Ken.

Contrary to popular belief, even (especially?) among fellow healthcare workers...

As a former radiologist, I can make the following generalizations about nutrition and the human body:

Serious vegans:

- Arteries: Little to no atherosclerotic plaque

- Visceral fat: Minimal

- Muscle mass: Minimal

Serious carnivores:

- Arteries: Little to no atherosclerotic plaque

- Visceral fat: Minimal

- Muscle mass: Moderate to large

Standard American diet (most patients):

- Arteries: Mild to severe levels of atherosclerotic plaque, often age-dependent

- Visceral fat: Copious

- Muscle mass: Minimal to moderate

--------

You do you, but your body doesn't lie.

Ditch your (fiat) doctor?

"Modern diet" often means modern disease.

Funny how focusing on what humans ate for millennia (meat!) often reverses the damage done by new-fangled, chemical-laden, fiat "foods."

Your gut knows. Your brain knows. Listen to them.

#Bitcoin

Only a small number to the new bitcoin treasury company "managers" actually understand bitcoin and dollar-based financial plumbing like Saylor does.

And many are literally managing billions of dollars and tens of thousands of bitcoin.

It's like giving a confident five-year old the keys to brand new Ferrari and expecting a good result.

The wheat will get separated from the chaff once the good times have ended.

Many will take on too much leverage late in the cycle, which may come back to bite them.

I think much of it will shift into risk assets as the economy heats up and the bull market takes hold.

Few understand that evidence-based studies aren't actually "evidence-based" if their "evidence" is/was based on false, misleading, or maliciously/selfishly incentivized "evidence."

This is a *huge* issue in the US healthcare, nutrition, and pharmaceutical industries.

No.

I don’t care about this price target or trade in my fund based on price targets.

Ideally, people would stop asking me about price targets so I could stop talking about them.
