I just had the great pleasure of meeting Texas Slim at the Ozark Beef Initiative. Outstanding conference, lots of great info about regenerative farming, farming without a bank, Bitcoin, food sovereignty, and more. If you have a chance, make the effort to attend on of these meetings. It’s great to be around and meet like minded people. And hat tip to rancher Jordan Richter for taking the picture.

The cascade of unintended consequences from corrupt fiat debasement infects so many areas of life. Shopping at Aldi today, my wife and I only bought a few items; steaks, bacon, shrimp, some fruit, cheese, dish soap, toilet paper, a few other kitchen items, and the total was $140. We wondered how other people are managing. Inflation will force people into unhealthy cheaper high calorie processed food choices, increasing obesity, increasing healthcare problems, increasing healthcare costs, etc. The deeply evil effects of monetary theft by debasing fiat currency cannot be understated.
Absolutely. This feeds into a circular bitcoin economy.
This is awesome. Love the creativity. Well done Bart.
I have learned that beach shark fishing success is similar to a batting average in baseball. If you land a shark .250 of the time, you are doing good. Lots of bait runs in the kayak. Lots of strike outs. But hey, it’s wonderful sitting on the beach with shark bait in the water.
The 1 year US Treasury is now above 5%. The growing interest expense as a percentage of the total government budget is going to be crippling. This is what a debt spiral looks like. Gonna have to print more to pay that higher coupon. Rinse & repeat.
Sharing some of my better pieces now that I have nostr. This one turned out to be prophetic for me personally.
Here is:

Excellent article Tomer.
Regarding East Palestine, Ohio; if my family was even close to the fall out, we are gone. Moving. I wouldn’t even care about the mortgage or the house, or my “credit”. My kids health is more important than my credit. I’m not saying this lightly. And that makes me wonder how many families are going to leave. It will crush the housing market in a huge swath of Ohio and surrounding areas. Could this credit event spark bigger delinquencies? A cascading event? I have to believe it will.
Gerson, great question. The one passage in the Bible that really blows my mind, regarding Bitcoin’s possible involvement, is Revelation 13:17, which talks about “you cannot buy or sell” without being in the state system. As bitcoiners, we see that control coming right around the corner, CBDCs. The author of Revelation, John, would have had no human capacity to understand how that kind of control could be done. Bitcoin gives people an escape from the tyranny mentioned in Rev 13:17. Truly amazing.

The future is going to be very rocky and difficult no doubt, but I can't tell you how excited I am to be alive today. We are living in one of the greatest times in human history. We get to be alive to witness this! The transformation that Bitcoin will have on the world will last for generations. I have tremendous confidence that Bitcoin to stomp out fiat evil. The benefits of peace and prosperity to all will be amazing to watch unfold.
