In 2020 it was considered insane to call out ESG + DEI policies for their overt Communist undertones, rejection of economic first principles and a move away from meritocracy.

I was constantly derided.

"Marty, shut up! We need to fit bitcoin in the framework."

Very happy to see that sanity is prevailing and we are returning to merit and common sense.

Lessons learned:

Never bend the knee.

Own the frame.

Time is on your side.

If you could snap your fingers and get rid of ONE tax, which would you choose and why?

1. Income tax

2. Property tax

3. Inheritance tax

4. Capital gains tax

Having RFK Jr as the head of the HHS may be the single most significant and positive political appointment of my lifetime.

Literally nothing in the entire political world has made me feel the slightest bit hopeful since Ron Paul's campaign... until this.

The term "Swedish torch" likely arose due to historical associations and regional proximity rather than direct attribution to its origins. Although the torch or log stove concept is believed to have Finnish origins, it spread across Scandinavia and Northern Europe, including Sweden, where it gained considerable popularity and was widely adopted. Swedish soldiers in the Thirty Years' War are often credited with popularizing this technique across Europe, as they reportedly used it for warmth and cooking during campaigns. The widespread use of the torch by Swedish soldiers may have led to the association of the name "Swedish torch."
