When you figure out how the world actually works it’s so shockingly evil that it makes you wish you could erase the knowledge and revert to your prior state. Like cypher in the matrix.

“Ignorance is bliss”

The one silver lining?

You can use the information to get rich. You gain leverage to bend the matrix.

Is that trade off worth it for you?

It was for me.

Waymos (ghost cars) scare me. That's too much future right there. I better get used to them though. When will there be more driverless cars on the road than ones with a human behind the wheel?

⚡️🇫🇷 ALERT - It's official. In France, mixers and privacy coins are now considered by default as an indicator of suspicious activity. The law has been adopted.

The Rubicon has been crossed.

If you don't want to reveal your wallet holdings with every payment, you're guilty of money laundering by default.

396 votes against 68, with main opposition from the Parti de la France Insoumise ...

In other words, there are 396 people whose existence relies on the taxes of the French who have decided overnight that you're criminals by default if you use Lightning, ZKPs, and loads of other technologies that "enable the anonymization or opacification of crypto-asset transactions", even if that's not the intended use of their users.

I have been locked out of X/Twitter once again. Monday April 21 10 am EST.

Any Tweets post that time are not me. I was not hacked, to the best of my know. They locked the Account citing suspicious activity. I have appealed, no response yet.

Bitcoin is great, we all know that. But what happens once you understood it? When you’ve protected your wealth? When you've ‘bought back’ your lifetime?

I think what happens is that more and more people will discover themselves, simply because they have the time for it and the inner urge for answers.

Discovering why they are, and much more important, who they really are - not just a physical shell that will eventually die.

I mean, when you have much more free time you won’t do nothing right? You will start to think more about how to spend your limited lifetime and this might lead to a very special, spiritual journey that might turn your worldview upside down even more than Bitcoin itself.

A beautiful journey about your true nature, without the illusion of the ego which makes you think you are divided from everything else what is not you, but in fact everything is connected. Everything is one.

The human ego is what makes division possible in the first place. Not politics, religions, ideologies or the fiat money system. All of these only exploit the fallibility of the human ego.

The true crisis of our time is a crisis of consciousness. If all people would take a look into themselves, realizing that we all have something divine within us, the world would be completely different, but the system doesn’t want us to be aware of that because it lives from the unconsciousness, division and ego of the people.

I believe Bitcoin will be a huge catalyst for people to start this journey of spiritual enlightenment.

I believe this is the true power of Bitcoin.

Definitely not making people ‘rich’. This true power is much more consequential than simply getting rich in a materialistic world.

People need to recognize again who they are and where they come from. The system does everything it can to create a distortion of consciousness in the masses, so much so that they fight each other due to their need of feeding their ego, over and over again.

People worship and spend more time, invest more energy in politicians, stars and influencers more than their own parents, their children or God. What is going on?

No one on the outside and definitely not a politician will ever save you. Only you can save yourself and that by becoming conscious.

It is my opinion that Bitcoiners tend to have an affinity for such topics as their level of awareness is already somewhat higher, although I do not like the increasing politicization of Bitcoin and the unconsciousness of many people in the space in this regard.

They have been proven through Bitcoin not to have prejudices against things they don't know and instead to look into topics and have realized that many things are connected.

It's not called "Bitcoin the ego killer" for nothing.

Once you realize that people are in a mass psychosis of consciousness where we are all supposed to exist separately from each other, hating each other, not having empathy, love and respect for each other, which is not the natural way of being human, the true rabbit hole begins.

Hot take: Libertarians are the state’s most dedicated enemies and, in true Girardian fashion become its most faithful imitators.

Rene Girard observed that enemies often become mirror images of each other. The more fiercely they oppose, the more they mimic. The obsession breeds resemblance. This is the trap of mimetic rivalry: we become like the thing we hate.

Libertarians see the state as the ultimate enemy. But in their desire to escape or overthrow it, they begin to reflect its mindset. They study its structure, anticipate its moves, simulate its power in miniature. They build parallel institutions—private courts, private currencies, private defense—as if reconstructing the state from scratch, but with different branding.

Their deep paranoia, their obsession with sovereignty, even their fetish for rules (so long as they’re voluntary)—these are all echoes of the very system they claim to reject.

Like the revolutionary who dreams only of becoming the king he deposed, the libertarian is haunted by the shape of the state. He cannot stop thinking like it, preparing for it, becoming like it in opposition.

So yes—libertarians are closet statists. Not because they love the state, but because they hate it with such intensity that they’ve begun to mimic it.

The enemy has colonized their imagination.

Reading "The Hidden Cost Of Money" by Seb Bunney

Good book - Check it out!

This chart is kind of shocking actually. A society completely flipped the mechanism for how it deals with people who are problematic for themselves and others.

Being an American means we can say whatever the fuck we want. Whenever the fuck we want.

I feel pity for the euros either they are so brainwashed they think they have free speech lol or they are painfully aware and the dissonance is tearing them up inside.

Not good. Something needs to change in Europe.

The biggest “productivity hack” I have is just not watching television.

What little I watch is very intentional.

In the second half of 2024, I watched Blue Eye Samurai (8 episodes) and Arcane (18 episodes).

In 2025 I watched the first season of Invincible (8 episodes). Usually during lunch, on my computer.

One thing I realized is that since coming back from Egypt three months ago, I didn’t turn on any of our televisions. They were off for the three months I was in Egypt as well.

So when my husband came back he’s like “…why the hell are all the televisions messed up, all apps logged out of, remotes basically dead?”

Last night we got one of the televisions working and watched Deadpool and Wolverine, lol.

USA has gold?
