£24.3 billion. That is what Britain borrowed in April. One month. £9,375 every second. £810 million every day. £855 from every UK household. The worst April since Covid. There is no Covid this April. No pandemic. No furlough. No lockdown. There is just a country spending money it does not have, on services that get worse every year. The bins still go uncollected. The roads still crumble. The NHS still has seven million people waiting. But the bill keeps growing. Reeves spends. Bailey funds it. Starmer pretends the bond market is not watching. Three offices. One bill. Your name on it. You have not been governed. You have been mortgaged. Again. This month. Then next. Until something breaks.

The average person spends more on a credit card than they do or a debit card. Why? Because you're spending someone else's money. Governments are inefficient for exactly the same reason.

It's kitchen sink time.

Every Bitcoiner has a different idea on how to be a proper Bitcoiner. That's a great thing. It means there are thousands of competing ideas and the free market will determine the winners. Decentralised competition and consequences for poor decision making for the win!

Knowing that government is the problem and thinking that government is the solution is retarded.

It would be funny if it wasn’t true. You've no doubt seen variations of the “Albo owns 47% of my business” meme. Founders, investors and business owners share them with a knowing laugh, not because they think the Prime Minister has literally joined their cap table, but because the joke captures a painful truth. Government wants the economics of partnership without ever taking the risk. It doesn’t start the business. It doesn’t make payroll during the lean years. It doesn’t sign personal guarantees, lie awake over cash flow, or carry the reputation risk when things go wrong. But when success finally arrives, the state shows up with a much larger claim on the upside. The proposed capital gains tax changes make this real. Replacing the 50% CGT discount with cost base indexation plus a 30% minimum tax rate from July 2027 would push effective tax on business sales as high as 47% for many in the top bracket. This isn’t just a technical adjustment or a housing policy. It changes the fundamental reward structure for risk taking, business formation, founder equity, employee share schemes, angel investing and succession planning across the entire economy. This goes far beyond tax. It reflects a deeper worldview problem. Australia’s political class has spent decades inside Parliament, unions, ministerial offices and taxpayer funded institutions. Their experience is with budgets, programs and redistribution. Business, by contrast, is about creation before allocation and risk before reward. When you’ve never personally carried the downside, it becomes far too easy to casually increase your claim on someone else’s upside. This is the Fabian instinct in modern form, not revolution or nationalisation, but the steady, polite expansion of government’s share through tax design, regulation and moral language about “fairness.” Australia doesn’t lack ambition among its builders and founders. What it lacks is a political imagination that truly understands where that ambition comes from. We should be working toward a dramatically more competitive, lower tax environment. One that forces government to be leaner while allowing productive people to keep far more of what they create and risk. The UAE and Singapore offer uncomfortable but important examples, jurisdictions structured to attract capital, talent and ambition rather than extract from them. They show it’s possible to fund public goods without making success punitive. The meme lands because the underlying truth does. Australia keeps telling people to build, hire and invest here. Then, when they succeed, it demands a bigger share. That is not a growth strategy.  It’s a warning label.

When a shop is going bankrupt but has a huge sale (selling things at a loss because they need the cashflow)...that's the global bond market right now. But it's not some forgettable clothes shop, it's entire nation states. Fiat currency is dead. amazon.com.au/Big-Print-Happ…

@cdarnold15 @DylanLeClair @IIICapital @Strive Because it returns to par quicker and Strive can then purchase BTC with any additional capital above $100 every day of the month and not just 3 or 4 days close to the ex date. Also, many people will reinvest their dividend.

@DylanLeClair @IIICapital @Strive Can someone explain why we need daily payouts?

Continued innovation. It’s clear that the design space for Bitcoin-backed perpetual preferreds is trending towards increasingly higher frequency cash flow payments. $BTC to the moon, and Mars too.

By the time Mars and Mercury get to market, the Japanese 10Y is going to be paying more. If this doesn't scream "problem" to you, then I can't help.

@LukeGromen Got Bitcoin?

@OffshoreHODL Because it only replaces a job where work is actually being done?

Why do I hear about AI replacing all kinds of jobs other than government employees and news media?

@Vault256Hash @saylor We're all addicted. Even Michael

@StackingHats @saylor No iam Not finished iam addicted 🤔👊

@saylor 843738 bitcoin me over 50+ Years old with 0.12 and 43 years of construction concrete dust i dont want much just enough to feel it 👊

@Vault256Hash @saylor Or 968,546.85 left to mine / 8b = 0.00012107 0.12 / 0.00012107 = 991.16 991.16x better off than average man. Get to 1000 😉

@Vault256Hash @saylor 21 million Bitcoin Approx 4 million lost 17m / 8b (people in the world) = 0.002125 .12 / .002125 = 56.47 You are 56x better off than average man in the future. And I'm betting you've not finished stacking! 🤜🤛

@toobahlou @BBCNews Great start!

@BBCNews End two tier policing. Enshrine freedom of speech. End the welfare state. Shrink the government by ~50-80% Simplify the tax code. End the death tax. Enshrine private property rights. End DEI. End the BBC.

@dazbea 🤣

Some extreme leftist twat on a muso Facebook group had a spat over this post…. I rarely reply or engage on FB full stop. But… I love how now you can just take a screen shot of their profile pick and spew back more memes at them 🤣😂🤣

WOAH! Did you know?🤔🟧 In 1971 the Australian minimum wage was $0.90–1.00 per hour. That’s roughly 1.15–1.28 oz of gold per (40hr) week. This translates to at least $103.50/hr minimum wage today, or earning $4,140 per week. ⚖️🪙 Your money definitely is broken, anon. Better learn Bitcoin: learn.hardblock.com.au 📙

Nowhere is getting expensive. Your money is dying...that's what you're noticing. Got Bitcoin?
