This is insane. 1971: -Gold was $43/oz -Average hourly wage was $3.70 -Time needed to buy one oz of gold: 11.6 hours 2026: -Gold: $5,000/oz -Average hourly wage: $28 -Time needed to buy one oz of gold: 179 hours What does this mean? Your time is literally less valuable today than it was 50 years ago. Look at it this way: In 1971: Work 12 hours ➡️ get 1 ounce of gold In 2026: Work 12 hours ➡️ get 0.07 ounces of gold Gold is still gold. One hour is still one hour. Wtf is happening? We haven't used sound money since 1971, when U.S. President Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard. Money became infinitely printable, with nothing required to back it. So they printed money, over and over. And over. And over. And over again. Every time they printed new dollars, the dollar became worth less. Think about it like this: If there's 10 copies of a rare painting, and then they make 1,000 new copies, all the copies become worth less. That's what happens when you increase the supply. That's what's been happening to the dollar since 1971. And guess what? The money you use represents your time. You give time and energy to the market, the market gives you money in return. That money reflects the time you gave. It's no wonder that time has become less valuable as the dollar has become less valuable. We don't use gold to measure our time and energy. We use a money that can be printed out of thin air by a small, central group of elites that we have no real say over. Anybody with the power to print money from nothing will eventually abuse that power. That's what's been happening since 1971. As a result, it now takes more of your time to earn the same amount of gold, which is completely backwards from a species that is supposed to be progressing. It should be going the other way. As we develop new technologies and bring more productivity to the market, it should take *less* time to earn the same amount of gold. The only way -- THE ONLY WAY -- to stop your time from becoming less valuable is to use a different form of money. You must exit the dollar system. You cannot escape time-debasement if you are in a system with monetary-debasement. You need a system that cannot be debased. We have a monetary system that was explicitly created to prevent monetary debasement once and for all. We have evidence for those that have chosen that system. If your money was Bitcoin, this is how much time it would take to buy one ounce of gold: 2012: 208 days 2016: 2 days, 22 hours 2020: 4 hours, 28 minutes 2024: 56 minutes The dollar loses value over time, because it can be infinitely debased. The longer you use it as money, the more time you lose. Bitcoin gains value over time, because it is the only money that cannot be debased. The longer you use it as money, the more time you gain. The game is alignment. Choose wisely.

The beauty of Bitcoin

MUST WATCH‼️ President @nayibbukele was warned by World Bank NOT to stop murders in his country because the economy, that relies on the illicit gains from these criminals, couldn’t handle the loss of spending by the murderers.

Artists should not own their work. The idea that a song, image, or paragraph can be fenced off as territory is one of the most corrosive superstitions still defended with a straight face. “Intellectual property” is the claim that you may control other people’s actual, physical property because you once arranged vibrations or pixels in a pleasing way and now demand rent forever. That is a legal hallucination built for monopolists. “My ego and my revenue expectations give me veto power over what you do with your machine and your mind.” Absurd. Culture stagnates under that regime. Every great artist you admire learned by absorbing others, imitating, rearranging, stealing tricks, and pushing them further. Yet many of these same people demand a force field around their own output, as if they stand at the end of history and the ladder must now be pulled up. AI arrives and hits the exposed nerve. Models drink in the public internet, learn patterns, and spit out new combinations. The reaction from a loud segment of artists has been nothing short of pure hubris. They speak as if they own every pixel that even leans toward their style, as if their personal discomfort justifies throttling a technology that could give billions cheap access to beauty, design, education, translation, and expression. There was never a coherent theory of ownership behind this, only a feeling of entitlement padded by law and lobbyists. Once the scarcity illusion cracked, the philosophy underneath showed itself for what it is: nothing at all.

Elon Musk on philanthropy: “I think we should. I mean, I agree with the love of humanity, and we should definitely try to do things that help our fellow human beings. But it’s very hard. If you care about the reality of goodness rather than simply the perception of it, it’s extremely difficult to give away money well. I have a large foundation, but I don’t put my name on it. In fact, I’ve said I don’t want my name on anything. The biggest challenge I find with the foundation is trying to give money away in a way that is truly beneficial to people. It’s very easy to give money away in a way that creates the appearance of goodness. It is very difficult—extremely difficult—to give money away for the reality of goodness.”

Hooah!

our sellers can now receive btc to btc, btc to fiat, fiat to btc, or fiat to fiat.

The story began in April 2017, after a Send meetup in Berlin, when a guy approached me with an idea — to build a highly customized chip based on the RISC-V architecture. At that time, to me such an idea still belonged to the realm of the “impossible.”

Yes, it's true. Bitcoin's total supply is 21M BTC. Each halving cycle has 210,000 blocks. - Cycle 1: 50 BTC/block → 210k * 50 = 10.5M (50% of 21M) - Cycle 2: 25 BTC/block → 5.25M (25%) - Cycle 3: 12.5 BTC/block → 2.625M (12.5%) - And so on. The reward equals the % of total supply mined per cycle. Brilliant design!

@sdkarlsson @olakallqvist @grok stämmer detta?

Häromdagen fick jag ta del av information från Polismyndigheten som visade att det dödliga våldet, till följd av skjutningar och sprängningar, har halverats sedan Tidöpartiernas maktövertagande. Samma dag fick jag även ta del av information från Kriminalvården som visade att inget västland, i modern tid, har byggt ut rättsväsendet och antalet fängelseplatser i så snabb takt som Sverige har gjort på senare tid. Vi burar in fler kriminella och de får hårdare och längre straff än vad de fått i modern tid. Vi utvisar fler kriminella utlänningar än vad vi någonsin gjort. Vi har fler tjänstgörande poliser och fler polisaspiranter på väg ut i tjänst än vad vi haft i modern tid. Även tullen har fått historiskt stora tillskott i resurser och befogenheter. Antalet stölder har minskat med 30 000 på ett år. Samtidigt har historiska stora satsningar på långsiktigt brottsförebyggande arbete och en stärkt socialtjänst genomförts. Asylinvandringen är på den lägsta nivån på 40 år. Trots att asylinvandringen till resten av EU har ökat kraftigt under samma period. Reglerna för arbetskraftsinvandring har skärpts. Reglerna för anhöriginvandring är på väg att skärpas en andra gång. Kraven för att erhålla svenskt medborgarskap är på väg att skärpas kraftig. Nyligen fattades beslut om att nyanlända invandrare genom arbete måste kvalificera sig för att få tillgång till det svenska välfärdssystemet och ett bidragstak kommer att införas, så att det aldrig kan löna sig mer att gå på bidrag än att arbeta. 2024 var det första året på 50 år med nettoutvandring. Det var då fler personer med ursprung i länder som Somalia, Irak och Syrien som återvände till sina hemländer än som invandrade därifrån. Det så kallade enprocentsmålet inom U-landsbiståndet som gällt sedan 1968 och som urholkat den svenska välfärden och gjort Sverige till ett av de mest slösaktiga biståndsländerna i världen under mer än ett halvt århundradena, slopades av Tidöpartierna. Nivån på U-landsbiståndet är tack vare detta många miljarder lägre idag än vad det skulle ha varit med en rödgrön regering. Det samlade skattetrycket är nu det lägsta på 50 år. Pensionärer och arbetare får behålla mer av sina inkomster varje år. Bränslepriserna har gått från att vara bland Europas dyraste till att bli bland Europas billigaste. Lönsamheten inom jordbruket och skogsbruket har ökat kraftigt. Inflationen har gått från drygt 10 % till ca 3%. Kronan har stärkts. 2025 utsågs Sverige till den näst mest innovativa ekonomin i världen. Sverige är ett av de länder i EU som har allra lägst statsskuld. Tidöpartiernas senaste statsbudget innehåller sänkt matmoms, sänkt elskatt och ytterligare sänkningar av skatt på arbete och pension. Den senaste budgeten innehåller också en kraftig skattesänkning för funktionsnedsatta medborgare som därmed får väsentligt stärkt ekonomi liksom stora satsningar på vården och skolan. Utöver detta har Tidöpartierna genomfört den snabbaste upprustningen av försvaret sedan 2:a världskriget och genom stödpaketen till Ukraina gjort den största insatsen för frihet och demokrati i vårt närområde sedan stödinsatserna för Finland under Vinterkriget. Det största upprustningspaketet någonsin för vägar och järnvägar har klubbats. De regionala flygplatserna har räddats. En återuppbyggnad av kärnkraften har sjösatts. En historisk tandvårdsreform för pensionärer har införts. Det svenska kulturarvet har fått hundratals miljoner i ökat stöd m.m, m.m Allt detta har skett i en tid av världsekonomisk oro, tullkrig, lågkonjunktur och krig i vårt närområde. Men nä, det spelar ingen roll hur man röstar, SD har inte gjort någon skillnad alls och allting fortsätter bara att bli sämre. ”Det har man ju hört”…

@recouso @grok is this true?

EUROPEAN CITIZENS TO PAY GLOBAL TAXES 🇫🇷 France approved an amendment to tax its citizens on global income if they move to a region with tax 50% lower than France's. 🇳🇱 The Netherlands proposed a new exit tax for citizens who leave the country to pay income (and presumably capital gains) taxes for 5 years after leaving the country. 🇪🇸 Spain already taxes its citizens on global income for 4 extra years if they move to a country classified as a "tax haven". Germany, Norway, and the UK will soon tax their citizens globally too. I've been warning you: European countries are bankrupt and will try to seize your assets.
