š„BITCOIN: THE FINAL ASSET OF MANš„
When everything else collapses, this is what remains.
Look around.
The American Dream has been repossessed and resold on Carvana with 18% APR.
Your town is a Dollar General graveyard.
The factories are gone.
Your dadās pension was torched in a 2008 boardroom ritual.
And now your mom Instacarts groceries to pay for insulin while Blackstone buys up her block, one foreclosure at a time.
This is a slow liquidation., folks.
The American lower-middle class, the supposed backbone of the worldās greatest economy, is now a HOSTAGE CLASS.
Wages flatlined.
Expenses metastasized.
Debt became oxygen.
And every single institution that promised to protect you has quietly transitioned into an extraction machine.
Your paycheck is taxed to death.
Your savings are silently stolen by inflation.
Your 401(k) is a glorified slot machine,
and your future is now a line of credit with a loyalty program.
And yetā¦
Thereās no revolution. Thereās no escape.
Just streaming services, prescription meds, and a 30-year mortgage on a house you hate in a town that died 15 years ago.
The people know it.
They feel it.
Something is wrong, profoundly wrong.
But they canāt name it.
Because no one taught them that the dollar itself is the parasite.
So what does Bitcoin have to do with this?
Everything.
Itās the only functional exit from a system engineered to fail quietly while extracting your time, dignity, and labor.
Bitcoin is the first monetary system that doesnāt need a permission slip.
It doesnāt care about borders, skin color, degrees, or credit scores.
It rewards competence, discipline, and low time preference - three things your government actively punishes.
It doesnāt inflate to bail out the connected.
It doesnāt beg for votes.
It doesnāt subsidize war.
And it sure as hell doesnāt debase itself so you can āstimulate demandā for the third iPhone you canāt afford.
Itās the opposite of all this.
It is incorruptible. It is finite. And it is global.
When your bank locks you out, Bitcoin doesnāt.
When your currency fails, Bitcoin doesnāt.
When your government gaslights you with CPI fairy tales and blames āgreedy corporationsā for the fact that your rent is 60% of your take-home pay - Bitcoin just keeps producing blocks.
One every 10 minutes.
Forever.
It doesnāt ask. It doesnāt lie.
It just is.
The dollar was built for empire.
Bitcoin was built for individuals.
And hereās the ugly truth:
The empire is dying.
The wars are unwinnable.
The deficits are permanent.
The demographics are terminal.
The politics are theater.
And the dollar is the slowest rug-pull in human history.
Bitcoin isnāt the future.
Itās the lifeboat from the present.
Every block is an opportunity.
To store your time in something real.
To shield your children from the inevitable collapse of a system that was never built for them in the first place.
Everything else will be reset, rehypothecated, or rug-pulled.
Bitcoin is the final asset of man.
Because when the lights go out,
and the dollar dies with a whimper,
itās the only thing that will still be alive.

nice, didnāt realize that
FUCK YEAH! I should remind you more often šš«
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Iām not an engineer but I quickly realized one-shots are bullshit and if you go in without a plan youāre not going to build anything objectively good or scalable. You need a vision that you tackle methodically and deliberately. In my experience at least.

This is a difficult conversation. I disagree with the decision to merge the Bitcoin Core pull request that removes OP_RETURN limits, especially given the ongoing controversy around it. Fortunately, I have options. I can choose not to upgrade or migrate elsewhere, such as to nostr:nprofile1qqsg3mj8tuxhxvy5w0qt9altpgcrqttdfxg9glvsdfhkpa3plcxfudgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgawaehxw309ahx7um5wghxy6t5vdhkjmn9wgh8xmmrd9skctckum9s8.
