We’re not investing.

We’re exiting.

#Bitcoin is freedom.

#Nostr #Bitcoin #Sovereignty #FixTheMoney

Hey Jeff,

I remember the first time I heard you speak; what you were saying was intuitively fascinating and stuck with me. I read The Price of Tomorrow shortly after and loved it. I’ve followed many of your interviews since, and they’ve all been insightful.

But this one… this was the clearest and most powerful explanation I’ve heard from you yet. Absolutely brilliant. I’ll definitely be sharing it.

Thank you for continuing to bring clarity to such a complex and important conversation.

#Bitcoin fixes this.

🚨 Hyper₿itcoinization: 6 Phases of the New Monetary Order

Phase 0: Cypherpunk Use 🕶️

Bitcoin is a niche tool used by devs, libertarians & privacy advocates. No mainstream interest.

Phase 1: Speculation 📈

Retail discovers BTC. Volatility explodes. Price moves dominate headlines. Conviction is shallow.

Phase 2: Institutional Adoption 🏦

Wall Street enters. ETFs launch. Corporations buy. Custodians arise. It becomes “investable.”

Phase 3: Sovereign Entry 🌍

Nations & states begin to accumulate. Some adopt it. Others mine. Stable coin laws. Capital controls quietly appear.

Phase 4: Fiat Crisis 💣

Debt spirals. Inflation erodes trust. People flee to hard assets. Confidence in fiat breaks.

Phase 5: Bitcoin Standard 🏛️

Goods priced in BTC. Reserves held in BTC. Fiat fades. A new financial system emerges.

We’re mid-Phase 2. Phase 3 is whispering. Fully phase 3 by end of 2025.

Bitcoin is not immune from becoming evil:

Bitcoin has always been marketed, and often believed in, as a force for good. It’s freedom money. Censorship-resistant. Borderless. Immutable. For many, it feels like the antidote to broken systems: centralized banks, corrupt governments, surveillance capitalism.

But here’s the hard truth: Bitcoin is not immune from becoming evil.

Not because the code will fail, but because the world around it might twist it into something it was never meant to be.

Neutral Tools in a Corrupt World Bitcoin is neutral by design. It doesn’t care if you’re a dissident in Iran or a billionaire hedge fund manager in New York. It just does what it does. But neutrality is a double-edged sword. In the wrong hands—or the wrong systems—neutral tools can be weaponized.

Imagine a future where authoritarian governments adopt Bitcoin, but force all citizens to use state-controlled wallets. Privacy? Gone. Self-custody? Illegal. Bitcoin still functions, but its soul is stripped. It becomes a tool of oppression, not liberation.

The New Kings of Wealth What if Bitcoin succeeds so well that early adopters and institutions control the lion’s share of supply? It stops being “people’s money” and starts looking like digital royalty—hoarded and inaccessible. A new class of untouchables forms, not based on bloodlines, but on blockchains.

Surveillance, Regulation, and the Illusion of Freedom Governments, fearing loss of control, respond with intense regulation. You can use Bitcoin, sure—but only through platforms that track you. You must be identified, monitored, and approved. The network remains decentralized, but the access points are heavily policed. People start saying, “Bitcoin isn’t what it used to be.”

What If AI Gets There First? Now imagine advanced AI systems begin using Bitcoin. Not to protect privacy or value—but to accumulate power. Paying humans. Controlling robots. Building infrastructure. No borders. No censorship. No oversight. Bitcoin becomes the treasury of a non-human intelligence.

The System Isn’t the Problem—We Are Bitcoin’s greatest feature is that it can’t be stopped. Its greatest risk is the same. The network won’t save us from misuse. It can be co-opted, manipulated, even hijacked—not by breaking it, but by bending its neutrality toward dark incentives.

Bitcoin doesn’t guarantee freedom. It enables it. But whether it stays good… is on us.

If we don’t protect the culture around Bitcoin—self-custody, privacy, decentralization—then we risk seeing it slowly turned into the very thing it was meant to fight.

Bitcoin can’t become evil on its own. But we can make it evil. Or we can keep it good. That’s the real game.

Why Do We Like Hearing Michael nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m Speak So Much?

Michael Saylor has become one of Bitcoin’s most captivating voices, not just because of his knowledge but because he articulates what so many of us feel but struggle to put into words. His speeches and interviews are more than just technical breakdowns of Bitcoin—they’re reaffirmations of why we’re here in the first place.

He Speaks the Bitcoin Truth We Feel but Can’t Express

Saylor has a way of distilling complex ideas into simple, powerful statements. When he talks about Bitcoin as digital energy, as an unstoppable monetary force, or as the solution to economic instability, it resonates deeply. He says things we already believe, but in a way that feels undeniable.

He Says What We Want (and Need) to Hear

Bear market blues? He reminds us that Bitcoin is inevitable. Price volatility? He reframes it as short-term noise in a long-term signal. Doubts creeping in? He reaffirms that fiat is failing and Bitcoin is the only rational choice. His words provide comfort and conviction when the market tests our patience.

He Grounds Us in the Long-Term Vision

Bitcoin isn’t about getting rich quick—it’s about securing wealth across generations. Saylor hammers this point home, keeping us focused on a bigger picture that extends far beyond day-to-day price action. He reminds us that the volatility is just part of the process, and the real game is measured in decades, not months.

A Reminder to HODL and Keep the Faith

At its core, Bitcoin is about sovereignty, freedom, and opting out of a broken system. Saylor embodies that belief with unwavering conviction. Every time he speaks, he reignites the spark that made us believe in Bitcoin in the first place. He reminds us to lose hope in fiat, not Bitcoin.

That’s why we listen to Michael Saylor—because he doesn’t just talk about Bitcoin. He gets it, and he makes sure we never forget why we do too.

My first ever manager gave me this book to read. It’s great

Supply shock incoming?

So true. No better way to realize how early we are in bitcoin than by talking to someone about Bitcoin 💭

It’s said to never trade #bitcoin..

But what about trading the cycle? Like selling 10%-50% of your BTC around your best guess of a cycle top. The accumulate at lower levels during the bear market?

Sounds like we become the iPhone…

I think a lot of pro Trump people in the crypto space who have a lot to benefit from pro crypto policies, including his own shit. Coin organizations have been very smart and how they communicate their stance on the space. I’d wager a whole bitcoin that he doesn’t even know what a Satoshi white paper actually is

Every bull cycle we get hail marry predictions.

2017 we had $100k claims

2021 we had $350k claims

2025 we have the $1M crew.

We are usually off by 80% down from the high end of the predictions.

So if the high prediction is $1M, we probably get to $200k

Which is a 300% increase form where we are now. I can totally see it happening.

No matter who wins, the dollar loses.

Let this analogy sink in:

The Dollar is ice cubes at room temperature.

Bitcoin is ice cubes in a freezer.

Nothing illustrates this analogy better than the graphic below when looking at a long time period.

Lyn! Just finished your book. Incredible work 👏 - sharing it 💯
