In ONE WORD, what prevents most people from getting rich?

Starting this new year 2026 I will be lowing my 401k contributions so I can buy more Bitcoin.
Thank you all for your attention to this matter 🫡

@saifedean in my weekly newspaper (South Africa)! Talks of his advisory role at the Africa Bitcoin Corporation. Mind the oil spots, I used the paper to cook myself a fatty piece of red meat 😜

Seed oils made the sun dangerous by making our cell membranes fragile.
Now the sun gets blamed for their crimes.

The worst thing for Bitcoin adoption is Bitcoiners.
We're totally right about the fundamentals but we've built an entire culture around narratives that only work on people exactly like us and we don't realize it.
The arguments that orange pilled you worked because you had the time and the bandwidth and the baseline financial literacy and the stable internet connection and the safety to spend months going down rabbit holes.
Now take that same pitch and try it on someone working two jobs who's never had a bank account and doesn't know what inflation means beyond prices going up and see how far sound money philosophy gets you.
The message that converted the first million users is totally disconnected from what the next billion need to hear and most Bitcoiners can't see that because they only talk to other Bitcoiners

Carnivore gives you the freedom to eat till you're completely stuffed, and still lose weight.
No other diet can match that.

@SamaHoole What about the quality of the beef? Surely there is antibiotic use at a household brand like Mac?

Every man lives two lives.
The second begins when he realises that McDonald's burger patties are 100% beef, not cooked in seed oils, and are perfectly healthy.
English
@SamaHoole It shocked me the first time I learnt @saifedean doing it 😅 still doesn’t feel right.

Cattle perform alchemy. They convert grass (inedible to humans) into:
- Meat, milk, butter, cheese
- Tallow, leather, bone tools
- Manure for fertilizer
This transformation built civilizations.
Humans can't eat grass. Grass grows on 70% of agricultural land.
Without ruminants, that land is useless for food.
The anti-cattle narrative ignores this.
"Land used for cattle should grow crops!"
65% of cattle grazing land is marginal terrain unsuitable for crops. Too steep, rocky, dry, poor soil.
You cannot grow soy on Scottish highlands. You can graze cattle.
Cattle aren't competing with crops. They're utilizing land that can't grow crops.
Historical civilizations that thrived all utilized ruminants:
- Nomadic herders (Mongols, Bedouins)
- Pastoral societies (Maasai, Plains Indians)
All converted marginal land into nutrition.
Modern policy wants to remove cattle, "rewild" land, import food from industrial agriculture.
Less efficient, not more.
Using cattle to convert grass to food on land that can't grow crops is optimal resource use.
Leaving land idle while importing Amazon soy is environmental destruction.
The grass-to-nutrition conversion is irreplaceable. Plant agriculture can't do this.
Humans evolved eating ruminants that converted grass to meat.
Not eating soybeans from cleared rainforest.

Isn’t it ironic how Elon’s Starlink wants to drop free, unlimited, super-fast internet into 5,000 rural South African schools, but SA’s bureaucracy insists on saying no.
I think the 2.4 million kids in SA without proper access would benefit immensely. Starlink is even putting R500 million (about $29.4 million USD) on the table themselves, no cost to the government or the schools.
All they’re asking? A normal licence to operate in SA.
Here’s the crazy part: because of the 30% black-ownership rule (B-BBEE), ICASA keeps saying “nope.”
Starlink says, “Cool, we won’t sell shares, but we’ll just give you this giant school project instead,” using the same Equity Equivalent programme that Microsoft, Amazon and IBM already got approved with.
The Communications Minister is literally begging ICASA to accept it. Neighbours like Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique are already connected and loving it.
Yet here we are, end of 2025, and those satellites are just flying over South Africa doing nothing while kids in the bundus still can’t pursue their dreams.
Come on, South Africa, don’t be the only country turning down free internet for millions of learners.
The irony, to me, is that Elon was born in South Africa, the very place that is telling him no to such a generopus offer!

Thank you for bringing attention to this matter.

The South African government is super racist against anyone who isn’t Black. Just a fact. It’s literally in the laws.
