Your mind will take on the character of your most frequent thoughts: souls are dyed by thoughts. So dye your own.
The European Central Bank has reduced interest rates following a decline in inflation below the target level. This adjustment is likely to increase the money supply within the European Union. Consequently, there may be a shift in value toward assets such as Bitcoin and gold.
The Federal Reserve might pursue monetary expansion, resulting in the U.S. dollar's depreciation against gold and Bitcoin, which could indirectly influence the Chinese yuan. This strategy may help address potential concerns from the Chinese government, as the devaluation is linked to gold and Bitcoin rather than directly targeting the yuan, thus lowering the risk of heightened tensions or conflict. This approach explains why President Trump did not impose tariffs on gold and Bitcoin.
The United States appears to be gradually reshaping the global monetary framework. The critical question is whether individuals, families, businesses, and governments are prepared for this shift.

"You have power over your mind—not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength." — Marcus Aurelius
This Stoic wisdom reminds those who believe in centralized control, like that of the United Nations, to focus on mastering their own thoughts and actions rather than seeking to dominate external systems or others.
True strength lies in self-discipline, not in imposing control over humanity.
Just as Marcus Aurelius advocates for a Stoic cosmopolitanism, uniting all rational beings in a shared commonwealth, we can examine how this shapes our understanding of decentralized morality and Natural Law.
Similarly, the Bitcoin community champions a digital sound money cosmopolitanism, where all rational beings participate in a unified digital wealth system.
This perspective illuminates Bitcoin’s role as the premier decentralized digital store of value over time and the optimal decentralized medium of exchange across space.
A bitcoin transaction was just done $1.4bn USD for $2.00 🤯fees.
The cost to transfer $1.4 billion USD from a Bank of America account to a Chase account depends on the method and account status:
--- Wire Transfer (most feasible method): ---
* Without fee waivers: Approximately $12,600 (assuming 280 wire transfers at $45 each, based on a $5 million per-transaction limit).
* With fee waivers (e.g., Bank of America Diamond Honors and Chase Private Client): $0.
* -Process: Likely requires in-person or special arrangements due to online transfer limits, with funds arriving in 1-2 business days.
--- ACH Transfer: Likely $0 for standard ACH, but impractical due to low transaction limits (e.g., 1,400 transactions at $1 million each) and longer processing times (2-3 days). ---
Bitcoin Deposits: A Layer 3 Protocol for Trust-Minimized Lightning Wallets
For years, discussions have centered on layer 2 solutions, but the focus is now shifting to layer 3.
This proposal introduces a system built on top of the Lightning Network, termed Deposit Wallets.
The core concept involves a vault managed by a Lightning Service Provider on behalf of the user. While this system requires a degree of trust, it is not absolute, as users must still sign transactions. However, they are not required to be online to receive payments.
The primary advantage is that this system leaves no on-chain footprint, with all payments settled within the Lightning Network.

Focus on what you can control—your thoughts and reactions—rather than letting fear or external chaos overwhelm you, especially to start the week

The only way to sustainably improve living standards is by increasing productivity. Central banks cannot boost productivity; they can only shift wealth, often from those with less to those with more.

A government bond will be offered to the public, promoted as a patriotic gesture to fund war efforts, amid the collapse of the fiat currency bond market Ponzi scheme. Consider this a warning.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation to recognize gold and silver as legal tender in Florida.🐊🇺🇸💪
One logical implication of Governor DeSantis' decision to recognize gold and silver as legal tender is a potential erosion of trust in the Federal Reserve's fiat currency. This development suggests a growing skepticism toward the stability of traditional monetary systems.
