Once you stop looking, things find you.

Bitcoin has now crossed 20,000,000 BTC mined. The final 1M BTC will take another 114 years to mine.

Fuck voting. Study bitcoin.

Giant Bitcoin advertisement on display in Times Square, New York 🇺🇸 "No man should work for what another man can print" This is why we Bitcoin! 👏

Today: 1 Bitcoin buys the down payment on a house. Soon: 1 house buys the down payment on a Bitcoin. We are so early.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere." Farmer: "Where did they get it?" Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere." Activist: "From... eating?" Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it." Activist: "The soil?" Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from." Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere." Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it." Activist: "Then just don't have the cow." Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle." Activist: "It's not that simple." Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing. That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens. Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior. A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.

When you finally understand bitcoin

You are alive. You have a home. You have a bed. You have food. Be grateful.

Bitcoin has educated more people on money and personal finance than any university.

United States was never supposed to have an income tax. Then, it was supposed to be temporary.

Lessons from Harvard: "Harvard Business School taught the Strategy case study. This is perhaps the greatest business school in the United States—the best and the brightest. The professor calls to say, 'We studied the Strategy story, and we'd like you to come in and talk to the class. The students are very excited!' Mind you, this is after we'd adopted a Bitcoin strategy and after it had worked. Here’s what happened… I joined the class on Zoom and shared our story. I told them the company was at the end of the line. The enterprise was worth $600 million, and the market cap was ~$5 billion. We tried unsuccessfully to grow the business for over a decade. We were at our wits' end. The only alternative was to sell the company: corporate death. Finally, we adopted a Bitcoin standard. The stock price quadrupled, employees made millions, and shareholders made billions. Our strategy was good for Bitcoin, the company, and our customers. A few months later, our market cap was over $30 billion. The professor said ‘OK, you've heard the CEO. What do you guys think? Would you do it?’ He then took a survey. First student: 'I don't know, seems kind of risky.' Second student: 'It seems like an inappropriate use of shareholder funds.' Third student: 'This isn't normally done.' Fourth student: 'It kind of violates convention in corporate finance.' Fifth student: 'We really can't see any major company doing it.' I swear I watched 10 students, and every single one of them said, 'No, we would never do this.' The takeaway? The world's full of conventional wisdom, conventional thinkers, and conventional institutions. You can give them the answer. You can even take the risk for them and prove it works. They will just stare at you and not do it. The one conclusion I’ve reached is that you can't predict who will get it. After all, this is a financial revolution. But I'm happy to live in a world where adoption grows from 1% to 2%, then 4%, 8%, 16%, and beyond. At that point, Bitcoin won't be a $2 trillion asset class—it'll be a $100 trillion asset class. By the time your financial adviser says it’s OK to buy Bitcoin, it’ll cost $1 million. When they say it’s a good idea, it’ll be $10 million. Everybody gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve." —Michael Saylor

Did you know? Before 1913 Americans kept 100% of their paycheck, and we still had roads and schools.

How to master any skill fast: - stop studying - outline a project - start building it - hit a roadblock - figure out how to overcome it - repeat 4 and 5 for the rest of your life Most people don't get past 1, the rest spiral into complacency after 4.

Oversharing dilutes your power. Too many words expose weakness, kill mystery, and cheapen your presence. Train yourself to listen more, observe more, and speak less.

Every fiat currency in human history has died. Every single one. The hit rate is 100%. It’s not even a debate. It’s the most consistent data set in financial history. And economists look you dead in the eye and say “this time is different” while the M2 chart goes vertical behind them like a horror movie jump scare.

Bono spent 30+ years inside the aid industrial complex and came out saying this:

Inflation is a tax that no one voted for, falls hardest on the poor, and gets blamed on everyone except the people printing the money.

Calmness is a superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace.
