Government takes many actions that people dislike but your average Joe or Jill usually accepts Uncle Sam blaming "greedy" businesses for prices rising. Prices simply respond. A growing supply of dollars is the true culprit. Given POTUS's favorite word is "deal," how about this?

@theswansjr @BitcoinTeacher_ @saylor Yeah …s i g h… TG4₿❗️

Most people are so brainwashed by the mainstream media that they see Elon as a Nazi, believe eating meat causes cancer, think Trump is taking away rights, believe global warming is going to kill millions, think Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, see Saylor as a crook, and believe the Federal Reserve is needed to stabilize the economy. This is the world they live in.

I think the hate @saylor and $MSTR get is insane. I get not believing in it, but he’s trying to give you real credit that outpaces the money printer. How does him trying to give you 11.5% APY warrant all of this? The outrage towards the ai videos is silly as well.

@gladstein @giacomozucco I'm a big fan of work by HRF, which I plan to support through my estate. Go, HRF‼️

Very proud to release this The culmination of nearly a decade of work with activists on the front lines Share far and wide and help your favorite non-profit become unstoppable today 💪

@DSBatten This one fact is perhaps the most important of your series, IMHO. Around the world many renewable projects experience a years-long wait to be connected to the grid. To say most media ignores this would be a massive understatement.

3/6 The IEA projects AI data centres will double their electricity consumption to nearly 950 TWh by 2030. European grids already have 1,700 GW of renewables stuck in connection queues. Grid upgrades won't arrive in time. source: energiaestrategica.com/energiaestrate…

1/6 When a financial system fails, it can be disguised for years When a grid fails, everyone knows Therefore the world encounters visceral, undeniable proof of Bitcoin's value through energy before it encounters it through money Here's why I believe this 🧵

@BlueStephen1 @Handre The mere presence of inflation reveals that Americans (or citizens of any other nation) do not live in a truly free market (to rephrase Jeff Booth's outstanding line).

@Handre "have you believe that 2% annual inflation is somehow natural and necessary.", yeah, that's always struck me as "slightly sketchy".

In 1879, the United States returned to the gold standard after seventeen years of greenback inflation during and after the Civil War. Prices had roughly doubled during the war as Lincoln's government printed paper money to finance the conflict, and now gold convertibility meant those inflated dollars had to shrink back to their pre-war purchasing power. The political class screamed about "cruel deflation" while farmers and debtors demanded more paper money (sound familiar?). During the 1880s and 1890s, wages stayed roughly flat while prices fell by about 30 percent. Your dollar bought more food, more clothing, more everything. The deflation was returning stolen purchasing power to everyone who held money. The greenback inflation had been a hidden tax on savers and wage earners, and deflation was simply the refund. When governments inflate the money supply, they're not creating wealth—they're redistributing it from money holders to the first recipients of new money. The farmers howling about deflation in the 1890s were really complaining that they couldn't keep benefiting from this transfer. (William Jennings Bryan's "Cross of Gold" speech was basically a 19th-century version of today's calls for "quantitative easing forever.") Today's Fed officials would have you believe that 2% annual inflation is somehow natural and necessary. Those 1880s workers watching their paychecks buy more every year knew better. Deflation in a growing economy is supposed to be the feature.

@Handre I have a degree in economics, from a small private college, one that many years ago introduced me to Murray Rothbard (an amazing thing by itself, I believe!). However, they never taught about the period from 1880 to 1913… a time of great development for average Americans. Thx!

@SweetTexanRose I'm a longtime pilot and I'm telling you that some very impressive flying, almost unbelievable… not to take anything away from the lineman.

I can’t decide which one I’m more impressed with, the lineman or the pilot. 🤯

@craigraw @_nym21_ I'm a longtime Sparrow (and Coldcard Q) user and a highly-satisfied one. I try to donate annually but this one development is worthy of an immediate donation. The tech is beyond my grasp but an address I could readily give out is easily worth some sats! Keep it up, @craigraw!

Your anonymity set is much smaller than you think it is. 70% of spendable outputs are sent to previously used addresses. Data by @_nym21_.

@AdamBLiv I enjoy your entertaining way with words, @AdamBLiv. Keep it up!

You start reading weird books. You buy “The Bitcoin Standard” and then “The Fiat Standard” and then you accidentally end up reading Murray Rothbard, and then somehow you’re reading Mises, and then it’s 11:47 PM on a Tuesday and you’re 340 pages into “Human Action” and you’re highlighting passages about praxeology and your wife comes downstairs and asks if you’re coming to bed and you say “in a minute” but you don’t come to bed for two hours because you have just discovered that everything you were taught about economics in college was wrong, all of it, every single sentence, and now you can’t go back, you can never go back, you have been orange-pilled in a way that goes deeper than money, you have been epistemologically orange-pilled, you now believe that John Maynard Keynes was a charlatan and the gold standard was actually fine and the income tax is theft and you can never say any of this out loud at a dinner party ever again.

@AdamBLiv @mikewmunz I am a boomer (& bitcoin Maxi) -delighted- to have found the bitcoin community. I read Rothbard in the 70s and became a believer but had to wait until 2008 for Satoshi's solution. True, I got to buy a house cheaper than Gen X, Y, or Z but I paid 13.9% interest on my mortgage.

@mikewmunz We are so far removed from the normies at this point, even if we act normal they'll sniff it out immediately. Thank God for this echo chamber. :)

@Katie_Lam_MP @mattwridley …and this alarming expansion in government regulators does not include the vast armies of administrators in education and medical care, both of which completely overwhelm the growth in actual educators or medical care providers.

In 1980, we had one regulator for every 11,000 people working in financial services. Today, it's closer to one regulator for every *75* people. Bureaucrats always create more rules and always work to expand their powers. The idea that we can "regulate for growth" is ludicrous.

@cboyack Odds are she went to public school… and perhaps is "reading challenged."

Reminder: teacher's unions exist to protect teachers, not children.

@theswansjr I'm a regular reader of your posts. This is one of your best. Keep it up!

Bitcoin = money that dictators can't stop. Let me translate that for the people in the back who still think their vote matters more than their private keys. Bitcoin is the first monetary weapon in human history that laughs at tanks. You can't bomb a protocol. You can't arrest a blockchain. You can't invade a network that lives everywhere and nowhere simultaneously. Every dictator, every central planner, every empire builder throughout history has had one ultimate power - control the money, control the people. Freeze the accounts. Seize the assets. Debase the currency. Starve the rebellion. That playbook just got shredded. Bitcoin doesn't care about your borders. It doesn't require permission from the party, the politburo, or the pentagon. It doesn't care if you're a dissident in Beijing, a trucker in Ottawa, or a journalist in Moscow who just pissed off the wrong oligarch. 21 million coins. Immutable. Unstoppable. Unseizable. This is the first time in recorded civilization that individuals can hold wealth that tyrants cannot confiscate, cannot inflate away, and cannot shut down - even if they want to. They can ban the exchanges. They can outlaw the miners. They can threaten you with prison. But they cannot stop the protocol. That's not a bug. That's the entire point. Bitcoin is sovereign money for sovereign individuals.

Ron Paul's "Liberty Report" (YouTube, Rumble, podcasts) from May 20, 2026 provides some amazing numbers about the election results for Thomas Massie. The numbers and facts surrounding them sound eerily like 2020 hence the term "Massey was 2020d." — youtube.com/live/5TNqpplHd…

@RepKeithSelf CBDCs 🟰 SLAVEcoins

Want to buy a truck? DENIED. Want to buy a gun? DENIED. Want to protest the government? ACCOUNT FROZEN. This is the future under a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)—total government control over your money, your spending, and your life. Ban CBDC. FOREVER!

@knutsvanholm CBDCs = Slavecoins. 🔸 Stablecoins at least involve your choice, but can be no better than the fiat on which they are based. 🔸 Only bitcoin stands above.

Stablecoins are spam.

@TFTC21 @giacomozucco Hurray for HRF‼️

In 2018, the Kremlin froze every bank account belonging to Russia's Anti-Corruption Foundation overnight. The organization survived because it had quietly started accepting Bitcoin years earlier. The Human Rights Foundation just released "Bitcoin for Nonprofits," a free guide built for activists and civil society organizations operating under authoritarian regimes. It covers how to receive, hold, and send bitcoin using self-custodial tools so that no government can freeze your funds and no bank can block your transactions. For nonprofits working under tyranny, the single biggest obstacle is no longer the mission or the danger. It is the way money works.

@dchqwx8qbk @Jethroe111 @MassieforKY @RepThomasMassie Wrong, he mostly (90%+) voted with Republicans.

@Jethroe111 @MassieforKY @RepThomasMassie Don’t agree. He voted against the republicans nearly every time. Reasonable adults agree that by and large, the Democrats are shitbags & fraudsters. So what does this make Massie? Ron Paul was conviction with principle. Massie’s just a gaslighting Dem in Drag. Good Riddance

GM This is probably the last election I'll ever have emotional ties to. The only recent campaign I've contributed money to. @MassieforKY @RepThomasMassie was my representative. Constitutionalist. Sound money advocate. Farmer. MIT grad. Defeated. Fourth Turning vibes.

@Jethroe111 @MassieforKY @RepThomasMassie Tens of millions of dollars to defeat him, for a single Congressional seat, for only two years… -clearly- Tom truly threatened them. I'm sad he lost but this system is broken, just like the money. Clowns rule DC. Thankfully, Bitcoin is far more dependable.

@Croesus_BTC You are delivering an important message, @Croesus_BTC! Thanks for your valuable work. Bitcoiners are fortunate to have you involved and active. Keep it up!

In the last year, the world has printed 9.3% more money. Global M2 money supply has reached $141T in 2026. When inflation starts to run hotter again, they will blame it on Iran and other proximate factors. But the root driver is the money printer has been running hot for the last year. Where? China increased their money supply by 13.6% in the last 12 months. Their M2 is now $50T, making it the largest global driver of fiat inflation. US growth in M2 is just 4.6% over the last 12 months, making the US comparatively responsible. (But make no mistake, this means your dollars have been debased by almost 1/20th of their value in just a year.) Since we live in a global economy, we're subject to the aggregate impact of GLOBAL money printing. The US has been accustomed to being the largest monetary base and therefore largely controlling global debasement. But China's money supply is now 2x as large as the USA's. Your savings are being debased by Chinese monetary policy decisions and you have no control. Nobody asked your permission. Nobody told you it was happening. But your savings just got diluted by 9.3% in one year. Note: I'm currently updating the Global Asset Landscape for 2026 (see prior tweet). It will be out in the next few weeks, stay tuned!
