🇮🇪 A number of Irish patriots, possibly including me, are set to be arrested in the coming days and weeks for “inflammatory” Social Media posts in support of the recent protests in Ireland. Lord knows what they’ll do to us if we’re taken into custody. Please pray for us… 🙏

I'm so sick of Canadians shouting about how bad America and Donald Trump is while completely ignoring how our own country is a dumpster fire that's burning to the ground. It's almost like there is 0 self awareness.

Yesterday was the worst day of my life and then the best day of my life… Worst because I thought I might lose my pregnant wife. Best because Carla and the baby survived and are stable. Thank you to everyone who sent their thoughts and prayers for Carla. It’s been an insane 24 hours… Carla is stable now and both she and the baby are okay, but it got really fucking bad really fast… Scariest day/night of my life… Carla is an absolute badass and at the beginning of the slow road to recovery, and I am so damn thankful. Posting this here for those who’ve been asking what happened: Carla started feeling weird yesterday afternoon after a nap. We were up all night with our son and had to take him to urgent care in the morning, so we were all resting before going to meet up with the family for Easter Sunday. When Carla woke up she had some back pain and was very clammy. She was a bit disoriented but still totally coherent. Within 10 minutes she was almost completely unresponsive. Barely conscious. Crazy disoriented. Hardly able to respond even with single words. Zero control of her body. Totally limp in my arms. Vomited. I called 911 immediately. Paramedics arrived and she was still barely responding and could barely open her eyes. When she did open her eyes she said she couldn’t see, her vision was black. They got her in an ambulance to the hospital. Her BP was insanely low in initial readings, like 55/38… got her to the hospital and BP remained dangerously low. About an hour she appeared to improve a little after multiple rounds of fluids. BP still super low but higher than before. She became lucid and ER staff thought she was stabilizing. She was shivering from the IV and had a bit of back and abdominal pain but it was manageable. They said we’d have to stay the night for monitoring but would be fine to go home tomorrow. But then she started having severe abdominal and back pain around her shoulder blades. Pain got to the point where she was screaming like crazy. “Worst pain of my life” (and she has an extremely high baseline pain tolerance). I’ve never seen her in such unrelenting agony like that… The pain kept getting worse and they did additional scans. The ultrasound showed a lot of fluid in her abdomen, likely blood. They started giving her massive blood transfusions and shortly said she needed surgery immediately. They thought it might be a ruptured ovarian cyst but wouldn’t know for sure until they opened her up. Got her into the OR about an hour after that. Doctor said surgery would take an hour… 2.5 hours in the OR the later the doctor finally came out and said Carla and baby were both OK, thank god… longest 2.5 hours of my life... It turns out they had to do a giant incision down her entire abdomen from too to bottom to find the source of the bleeding (because it was NOT her ovaries or uterus) and bring in a third surgeon who was on call. They removed **2+ liters** of blood from her abdominal cavity. For context, the average adult woman has about 4.5 liters of blood in their entire body… They had to remove her spleen because it had ruptured and was the source of the bleeding… the doctors described it as “battlefield medicine” because of the amount of blood in and out and how dicey things got… but thank god both she and the baby are ok. The doctor’s still don’t know why the spleen ruptured… it was a “non-traumatic” rupture, meaning there was no physical injury to the spleen which caused the rupture (~1 cm). It was a “spontaneous” rupture, which is quite rare apparently. They did note that the spleen was slightly enlarged but also not sure why yet. Waiting for pathology to see if that provides any answers. May have been contributing physiological/mechanical factors from pregnancy but we just don’t know yet. The reason her shoulder blades were in such intense pain was because blood from the spleen was pooling under her diaphragm, blood is an irritant, and apparently that triggers the phrenic nerve which the brain interprets as pain between and around the shoulder blades. Multiple surgeons said she was “this close”…thank god we didn’t waste any time. When one of the surgeons checked in on her today, he said she would have been “dead by midnight” without the emergency surgery and splenectomy… The doctors also all said this combination of circumstances is very rare. Spleens obviously burst all the time, but usually it’s directly related to intense trauma, which was absent here. They said this case is probably going to be in medical journals because it’s so strange. Carla is still in a lot of pain (we’re not even 24 hours out from the end of the surgery yet), but she’s handling it like an absolute champ. She was sedated and intubated with a ventilator until about 5AM this morning. This afternoon she was already able to get up and go walking multiple times. The pain is really bad, but should hopefully start lessening with each passing day. It’s going to be a long road to recovery, especially with pregnancy on top of it, but she and the baby are both OK and right now that’s all that matters. One step at a time. In typical @carlabitcoin fashion, she’s already been cracking jokes and trying to bribe the nurses. She even fired off a tweet while still a bit loopy from the sedatives but now she’s just trying to manage the pain. Thankful for the great doctors, nurses, and paramedics who saved her life and our baby. Thanks again to everyone who has reached out and sent their thoughts and prayers. I’m passing along your messages to Carla and they’re very much appreciated. This still doesn’t seem real. A normal day turned into a nightmare so damn fast… Hug your loved ones tight. Life is a gift. Don’t take it for granted.

It’s impossible to understand how good Bitcoin is if you don’t understand how bad fiat is.

🇨🇦 - Now the Australian LNG purchase makes sense

@bitcoinwell “Time in the market beats trying to time the market.”

Dollar cost averaging works because it removes the one variable you can't control: timing. You stop guessing and start accumulating. The people who bought through 2022 aren't worried about today's dip.

@MorePerfectUS x.com/moreperfectus/…

Ben McKenzie dug through the Epstein files to expose how Jeffrey Epstein was instrumental to the rise of Bitcoin. Epstein's involvement goes all the way back to 2011 — just two years after Bitcoin launched. And his funding secretly saved the cryptocurrency from near collapse.

@DSBatten @MorePerfectUS Thank you for, once again, debunking the Bitcoin FUD with truth and source links. 🙏

A made up script and an actor to deliver it: what a perfect combination. Welcome to the world of funded narratives that are made to look like journalism. Context: 1. More Perfect Union is an activist-based company founded by former Bernie Sanders staffers. It specialises in presenting narratives that paint community as victims and business as perpetrators. It has previously promoted false narratives about both AI and Bitcoin mining. 2. Ben McKenzie is a former actor who several years ago wrote a book that performed badly when he tried to link Bitcoin to crime, despite the fact that even the US Treasury’s 2024 National Money Laundering Risk Assessment Report found that “the use of virtual assets for money laundering remains far below that of fiat currency.”home.treasury.gov/system/files/1… His book has been roundly debunked and he disappeared from X shortly after. Never one to let fact stand in the way of a good story, Ben is now acting the part of concerned citizen lip-syncing another equally fact-free narrative. The facts about Bitcoin's creation are well documented source: swanbitcoin.com/inventing-bitc… and unsurprisingly are nothing like the story you'd get from our actor-friend. The irony is that More Perfect Union claim to be the champion for the little guys, but through their ignorance do the opposite. By attacking Bitcoin they are in attacking those who most use it: small nations like Bhutan who used it to avoid IMF austerities, Women in afghanistan using Bitcoin to avoid state legal gender discrimination against women holding bank accounts, Human Rights activists throughout Africa using Bitcoin to fight for freedom without their bank accounts being frozen, and those throughout the hyperinflating world (Lebanon, Turkey, Venezuela...) using Bitcoin simply to make ends meet. That is why Stella Asange called Bitcoin "The real occupy movement." In other words, they help the oppressor: The IMF, Central Banks, and oppressive governments. Simone de Beauvoir once said "The oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have accomplices amoung the oppressed." It was the More Perfect Unions of this world that de Beauvoir was talking about: those that claim to stand up against oppression, but in fact through either ignorance or intent - end up helping the oppressor. IMF and merchant banks rub their hands together every time More Perfect Union, wittingly or unwittingly, do their work for them. Brandolini's law tells us that every bit of BS takes 10x more truth to counter it. So no doubt, some more impressionable people will be taken in by this nonsense. But so long as you base your stories on ignorance and misinformation, there is a use-by date on these stories, and a use-by date on what credibility you have left.

@1914ad @bitckle Thank for level of detail in your article. It confirms my suspicions that it was not actual supply and demand dynamics that has been suppressing Bitcoins price.

@SatireSquadHQ @Martyupnorth Does it take into account monetary inflation? Is this increase adjusted for inflation (money printing)?

If you want one measurable thing that’s improved since 2014, it’s nominal GDP. Canada’s total economic output in dollar terms is significantly higher today than it was a decade ago. Now, fair disclaimer nominal GDP includes inflation and population growth. It doesn’t automatically mean people are better off per person. But strictly speaking, the size of the economy has grown. Whether that’s translated into real gains for everyday Canadians is a different question that we all know the answer too 😉

Serious question. Give me one verified statistic or measure (that matters to everyday Canadians) that shows an improvement in Canada between now and 2014. Anything. GDP GDP/capita Poverty rate Housing affordability Crime rate Happiness index Household debt Hospital wait times Anything.
