@AdamBLiv If it wasn't genuine, that amount of bullishness from your side would truly start to look a little suspect by now. Even @CorySwan is starting to have some concerns about the latest price action ...

Really seems like paying 11.5% to get hundreds of thousands of Bitcoin is gonna work out for Saylor:

@AdamBLiv Well ... Not playing out as expected it seems

The SATA BITCOIN VACUUM is OFFICIALLY ON for the Strive team! I am guessing another 200+ Bitcoin today for Strive. LET’S GO.

@PeterSchiff @saylor STFU boomer. When this thing ignites you'll be singing on another tone.

@saylor And you’re already down over 4%. Imagine how much lower Bitcoin would be now without that buying. At this point, your “paper” gain on your entire Bitcoin position, accumulated over more than five years, is just 2.5%. It’s hard to find a worse-performing investment than that!

@PeterSchiff Imagine thinking Iran wins this war while at the same time thinking Bitcoin goes to 0.

Absent a U.S. boots-on-the-ground invasion and occupation, it’s clear Iran will win this war. It will emerge with more influence in the Gulf than it had before the war started, and control over the Strait of Hormuz will give it an economic advantage it never enjoyed in the past.

@HODL15Capital That was cool ...

@HODL15Capital Wild stuff today... 20 minutes from opening ...

@TheBlockCo Q1 was shit. Let's look at Q2

David Bailey's Nakamoto reports $239 million Q1 loss as bitcoin treasury value slides theblock.co/post/401225/na…

If gold was only valuable in jewelry and technology its price would reflect this base case use and certainly not carry the huge premium we see nowadays. What is the intrinsic value of a Leonardo da Vinci painting ? Oil + canvas + varnish (maybe worth a few $) yet everybody knows it's worth way more than that. You cannot stop the Bitcoin network, you cannot corrupt its protocol and you cannot debase it either. It's a full decentralized monetary protocol with fixed supply and known issuance rate. It's like artwork in cyberspace and it is unstoppable.

@saylor @RayDalio Isn't gold at least used in jewelry and technology? I still have trouble understanding the use of bitcoin, unless Iran needs it to surreptitiously buy from Russia. I can instantly, digitally, send my bank funds in many ways, no bitcoin needed.

While Bitcoin gets a lot of attention, it hasn’t played the safe-haven role many expected. In my view, there are a few reasons why. First, Bitcoin lacks privacy. Transactions can be monitored and potentially controlled, which is why central banks aren’t looking to hold it. Second, it also has a high correlation with tech stocks. When investors get squeezed in other areas of their portfolio, they sell their Bitcoin to cover it. Third, it’s a relatively small and controllable market, whereas gold stands alone. There is only one gold. Ultimately, gold is more widely held, deeply established, and still plays a central role in the global system.

@GlyphOfHermes @PeterSchiff @saylor @TNorth That's if Bitcoin price goes down. But the reality is that for 17 years it has been going up only. And there's a good reason why it will continue to do so. But yeah keep going on.

How can the SEC let @Saylor get away with public comments that $STRC is suitable for retirees whose primary investment objectives are low-risk wealth preservation and income, and who don't want to risk losing principal? This is a violation of SEC antifraud and marketing rules.

@PeterSchiff @saylor 🥱

@bo_yoder 😂

@odrikez The syndicate doesn’t like me.

MSTR stopped me out and is flirting with a trend change. Watching how it deals with the gap just below, but not excited to add exposure into a market that seems to be melting up and ripe for a death gap. Too much inherent violence pending in recent stock index action.

@SamaHoole @aj_robson Who needs beer when you have wine anyway...

@aj_robson No, but you can make cheese, butter, yoghurt, kefir, and a hundred other things. Beer is the grain state's compensation prize.

There is a question every history teacher could ask their class and almost none ever do. Why grain? Why, of all the foods a human being can eat, did every early state on earth, Egyptian, Sumerian, Chinese, Roman, Aztec, Inca, build its tax base on grain. Not on cattle. Not on fish. Not on tubers. Not on the protein-dense, calorie-dense, nutrient-complete foods that humans had been thriving on for two and a half million years before anyone planted a seed in a row. Grain. The answer is not that grain was the most nutritious. It demonstrably was not. The skeletal record of every population that transitioned from foraging to grain agriculture shows the same pattern. Average height drops by four to six inches in a generation. Bone density collapses. Dental caries appear for the first time in the human archaeological record. Iron deficiency, vitamin A deficiency, vitamin D deficiency, all of them appear in the bones of the first farmers and not in the bones of the foragers they replaced. The answer is not that grain was easier to produce. Hunting a deer in a temperate forest is, calorie for calorie, considerably more efficient than ploughing, planting, weeding, harvesting, threshing, winnowing, and milling a field of wheat. The forager spent four hours a day on subsistence. The farmer spent twelve. The answer is taxation. Grain is the most legible food a state has ever encountered. It ripens at a known time, in a known place, in a known field, owned by a known farmer. It is harvested all at once. It is countable. It is storable. It is divisible. A tax assessor can stand at the edge of a field in August, look at the standing wheat, estimate the yield within ten percent, and know exactly how much the man who farms it owes the state when the threshing is done. You cannot do this with a cow. The cow walks. The cow can be moved. The cow can be hidden in the woods when the assessor arrives. The cow gives milk on a schedule the assessor cannot predict and meat at a moment of the farmer's choosing. The cow does not ripen. The cow does not present itself for counting. The cow is, from the perspective of a state trying to extract a percentage of the food supply, an administrative nightmare. You cannot do this with a fish either, or a deer, or a wild pig, or any of the other foods a free human being might eat in a landscape that has not yet been carved into rectangles for the convenience of a clerk. James Scott, the political scientist who wrote this analysis up in detail, called grain the foundation of state legibility. The state can see grain. The state cannot see anything else. And once the state has built itself on grain, the state needs grain. Needs it badly. Needs every farmer in its territory growing it, paying it, depending on it, because the moment the farmer can feed himself on cattle or pigs or fish or the wild boar in the forest, the farmer has options. The farmer with options is not a taxpayer. The farmer with options is a man who can walk away. So the state does what every state has done for six thousand years. It privileges grain. It subsidises grain. It builds its temples around grain. It ascribes moral virtue to grain. It tells the farmer that the eating of bread is the mark of a civilised man and the eating of meat the mark of a barbarian. It restricts hunting. It encloses the commons. It taxes the cow at a rate the farmer cannot pay so the farmer sells the cow and buys the grain. Six thousand years of this. And then a nutritional establishment funded by grain processors and seed oil manufacturers tells you, in 2026, that the optimal human diet is grain at the base of a pyramid and red meat at the top in a sliver too thin to read. They did not invent the lie last week. They inherited it. From the first man who ever stood at the edge of a wheat field with a clipboard.

@duchessmathilda @SamaHoole It is also that one that caused widespread famines and death when something went wrong with the harvest. Because it is so centralized, it could be seized and/or destroyed (floodings, wars, insects, diseases, natural disasters ...)

@SamaHoole You have made out a fascinating case, something I hadn't considered before. Thank you. In defence of grain I suppose one can say that at least it can be stored to tide people over during the winter time when meat (despite preservation techniques) would be scarce.

@SamaHoole The cow is to grain what bitcoin is to fiat. That's why it is the ultimate fuck you Money. One that cannot be stopped, cannot be confiscated, cannot be debased, cannot be corrupted.

@SamaHoole Sounds like you could enjoy Sardinia my friend !

The Mediterranean diet that has been sold to you as the beacon of human health is largely fictitious. People in the Mediterranean do not eat whole grains. The bread is white. Sourdough, semolina, ciabatta, baguette, pita, focaccia, pane carasau. White flour. Always white. The pasta is white. Durum wheat semolina, refined, dried, boiled. The rice is white. Arborio, carnaroli, vialone nano. Polished. Refined. White. The cheese is full-fat. Pecorino, parmigiano, manchego, feta, halloumi, ricotta, mozzarella di bufala, casu axedu. Made from raw sheep, goat, or buffalo milk. Aged. Salted. Eaten daily. The yoghurt is full-fat. Strained until it could hold a spoon upright. Topped with honey from a beehive the maker can point to. The fish is fatty. Sardines, anchovies, mackerel, tuna belly, swordfish, octopus. Grilled in olive oil and eaten with the heads still on. The meat is constant. Lamb, goat, pork, beef, rabbit, wild boar, offal, cured pork in every form a pig can be cured into. Lardo, prosciutto, guanciale, jamón ibérico, soppressata, 'nduja. The eggs come from a chicken with a name. The olive oil is poured on the meat. The wine is in the glass. This is the diet that produced the centenarians. A Harvard nutritionist looked at all of that, decided the bread was the important bit, made it brown, removed the lardo, demoted the lamb, and put the result in a textbook. The shepherd is still in the field. He has not been informed.

Well in reality if you are able to allow yourself a little freedom every now and then, you don't suffer from addiction or any type of restriction. It works out for me pretty good. You just have to see it as poison, a little won't hurt but too much will destroy you. Always probe your body first to see how much you'll benefit from it. When it's overwhelmingly positive go for it. It's very rewarding. If instead it's not so positive just ignore it/skip it until the real signal is back. Requires a little discipline but ultimately you never suffer from having to constantly fight against it. Just filter it, go for it only when the signal is strong. Same as for sex. You shouldn't go for everything that comes towards you, it's immensely more rewarding to make a little selection and only go for it when your body really needs it (which is much less than what most people think).

Getting off sugar addiction is a road with a ditch on either side. You can drive carefully for ten years. The ditch does not move. It sits six inches from your tyres, the entire time, exactly where it has always been. The only reason you are not in it is that you have not yet turned the wheel. One decision turns the wheel. One "I've earned a square of dark chocolate." One "it's a special occasion, one slice won't hurt." One "I'm not like I used to be, I can handle it now." You cannot handle it now. You could not handle it then. The wiring has not been rewritten. It has been quietened by distance. Give it something to react to and it remembers everything, instantly, louder than before. This is why moderation does not work. Moderation requires a relationship with the substance. The relationship is the disease. Abstinence is the only mode that keeps you out of the ditch. Hypervigilance is not paranoia. It is the recognition that the part of your brain that wants the sugar is patient, clever, and will wait years for you to drop your guard. Both hands on the wheel. Eyes ahead. Do not negotiate with the verge. The ditch is always six inches away. The drive is for life.

@KobeissiLetter What a 🤡 show

BREAKING: US oil prices fall below $100/barrel as President Trump announces that the US will be guiding ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

@maxpain_crypto @TonySeverinoCMT Yeah right 👍🏻 🤡

@TonySeverinoCMT I've been monitoring a very similar setup. I think we are due for a major correction.

Bitcoin recently death crossed on the 3-day This is something I warned about months ago Based on historical data, we've got roughly another -40-50% drop coming very very soon Distance from MA shows just how far we typically move away from the average before bottoming
