Saylor said something on the MSTR earnings call that was hilarious and that sounded like something Yogi Berra would say:
"It's a good thing we have time, otherwise everything would happen all at once."

We don't need to make the world "smarter."
We need to make the world more beautiful. We need to make the world more peaceful. We need to make the world more just.
That's why I'm dedicating my professional life to driving Bitcoin adoption and not very interested in AI adoption.

Epstein really was Pandora's Box.
Everyone in "elite" circles. And I mean EVERYONE was exposed. Government. Finance. Banking. Technology. Business. Hollywood.

It's hard to orange pill people because it's hard to get them to accept the fact that the biggest institutions in the world, that are supposed to be protecting them, are in fact stealing from them.
That said, I think as every day goes by, more and more people are waking up to the corruption and fuckery. The zeitgeist is shifting towards the narrative Bitcoiners have been yelling into the void about for years.
Patience everyone. The world is waking up, gradually then suddenly. Our time is coming.

Nations or tribes often go to war to get what they want. Bitcoiners will fight in unique ways that the world has never seen. If we can find a way to stop fighting ourselves, that is 😂

2026-01-30 02:20:24 UTC

It's weird to say this, but I think Bitcoiners are forming a new nation. The first ever digitally native nation.
I mean that in the sense that the United States of America used to be a nation. England used to be a nation, etc. Globalization essentially dissolved those nations of people. The States still exist but the nations are going extinct.
In the internet age, people don't believe in the old idea of belonging to a nation based on blood and soil. Why sacrifice for the people in my country if they don't share my values? Why sacrifice for the people in my country if they aren't reciprocating my efforts? They are just taking from me. This sucks.
Ironically, the answer to globalization was to form the first truly global nation based on internet protocols, not geography.
Bitcoiners can meet each other all over the world and click almost immediately. It is like you are meeting someone you've known for a long time when you meet a fellow Bitcoiner. Because you know you've had shared experiences and you have shared values. You've been reading and watching the same things. That's what a nation of people is supposed to feel like. A big family.
This is not to say that Bitcoiners will create a state a la Balaji's Network State thesis. Bitcoiners tend to despise government. I find it hard to imagine that we would voluntarily build a Networked Nation State.
It is a remarkable story, nevertheless. A tribe, a nation, that is forming across the globe, connected by a single open source software program. (And now a second one, in Nostr).
Perhaps other nations will form digitally in the coming decades. But I find it hard to believe that they will be as strong and as powerful as Bitcoin Nation.

My game theoritic mind thinks that the US will ultimately rug pull the world on gold, and pivot to Bitcoin.
Why go to all this trouble with the SBR, with the close relationship with Tether? Why go to the trouble of doing GENIUS & CLARITY?
The US knows it's in deep shit. The US knows it's rivals have a shit ton of gold.
Everyone is rushing out of paper into commodities. Those gotdam commies in China are heavy on gold but light on Bitcoin.
Why not stick it to those bastards and say, 'hey, nice shiny rock you got there. We're about to play checkmate on you assholes with digital gold. Fuck you."

At the bottom of the rabbit hole is a massive white pill.
The self proclaimed "elite" of this world are, in fact, the lowest of the low. They are extreme takers, they lack empathy, and they are incapable of feeling love. And that's putting it lightly.
The white pill is realizing that you win by simply not being like them.
Don't bother playing their games. Chasing wealth, status, and power will force you into the "elite" world and you will be approached to compromise yourself and your integrity in order to win their games.
Their games are rigged and stupid. There is no point in playing and debasing yourself. Don't stoop to their level.
Win by being loving, being a giver, being a creator.
So what if you don't achieve high status? So what if you don't become wealthy?
You will feel good about yourself and you will maintain your honor and integrity. That makes you a winner. That makes you elite.

I realized in 2022 that Bitcoin was a weapon built to go to war with the banking cartel.
Seems that the banking cartel is doing everything it can to lobby the Congress to strangle and box in Bitcoin as much as possible.
They can only extend and pretend for so long.
Tens of millions understand the fiat game now. What happens when it's hundreds of millions? What happens when a billion people realize the banking cartel is an international crime syndicate?
Con men rely on confidence. The central banking long con is losing humanity's confidence.

While the whole Somali daycare fraud scandal in Minnesota is brutal, it seems like a shiny object to distract people from the deeper problems our country faces.
The amount of fraud at the Fed, on Wall Street, at the Pentagon, etc is exponentially higher and more damaging. The amount of criminality and violence perpetuated by Intelligence is far more negative than the illegal immigrant fraud schemes.
My guess is that Trump and Co will use the Federal government to bully the State governments and create division based on race, religion and politics. You will start to see the Red Feds attack the Blue States and create a civil war atmosphere. Meanwhile the Fed and Wall Street will continue to asset strip our country. Intelligence run media will narrate the whole thing and pit us against each other.
God be with us. These people are brilliant with their deceptions and there is no bottom to their treachery.

This is the Victims of Communism Memorial.
Most people visit Washington, DC and never see it. It's easy to miss because it's small and tucked away on New Jersey Ave next to Georgetown Law, several blocks away from The Mall.
It is dedicated "To the more than one hundred million victims of communism and to those who love liberty."
Yesterday, a new mayor was inaugurated in New York City who promised to "replace rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."
Collectivist ideology is un-American and leads to totalitarian dictatorship. It is easy to paint "individualism" as selfish. But what the new mayor fails to understand is that individualism is about liberty. And liberty is what America is all about. It always has been and it always will be.
Those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
It is time for Americans to remember that we have inalienable rights, endowed upon us by God. Among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
God bless America.

Becoming an entrepreneur taught me that self-belief and conviction is everything. Without that, you are lost.
What it also taught me is that you have to marry that with humility and flexibility.
Without that, you are also lost.
You have to have unmatched belief in yourself that you will figure things out, and you have to be willing to face reality and change your ways when you realize you were wrong about something.
Conviction paired with patience and humility is a powerful combination.

Bitcoin is a new financial institution.
It's native to the internet, and it works exactly the same for every user.
No insider deals. No opacity.
Fairness and transparency for every single user, no matter if you own 1000 sats or 1 million whole coins.
It is decentralized and cannot be manipulated by powerful governments or corporations.
This is a technology that arrived at exactly the right time because God only knows what the centralized legacy banking and finance powers would have in store for us if we couldn't opt out with Bitcoin.
I will die on this hill. I will fight for liberty and Bitcoin for as long as it takes until we achieve victory.

"There's nothing we can do."
Wrong.
There's always something we can do to make things better. Let's eliminate this nihilistic mindset.
What's under our control at all times? Our attitude, our mindset, our actions.
It is always the small daily habits and actions that matter.
We can be kind.
We can smile.
We can support the people in our inner circle.
We can work hard on fulfilling our responsibilities.
We can exercise and have good nutrition.
There's always things we can do. Forget about the macro picture. The micro is where the magic happens.

In addition to the New Testament, reading Letting Go by David Hawkins influenced my thinking on this quite a bit.

Sunday Thoughts
I believe heaven, hell, and purgatory are all states of consciousness that we experience during human life.
I believe I've experienced all three during my life already at different points.
Heaven - a state of consciousness where nothing is missing. Characterized by love, peace, and calm contentment.
Hell - a state of consciousness where everything is missing. Characterized by fear, anxiety, and depression.
Purgatory - a state of consciousness where everything feels a little bit out of reach. Full of longing and the feeling that some things are okay, but some things are missing.
I find myself more and more spiritual these days but less religious. The problem I have with organized religion is the dogma (I'm allergic to dogma) and the focus on the afterlife.
From my perspective, Christ's message was all about building the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth. During your life. Inside your own mind, body, and spirit.
Christ's two essential commands?
Love one another.
Do not be afraid.
If we can do those two things, we can build heaven on Earth for ourselves and the people around us.
I believe there may be a need to go through hell and purgatory during our lifetimes (through our state of consciousness) in order to reach heaven. Perhaps even multiple times.
Perhaps each individual is going through challenges in life in order to find their own path to heaven on Earth.
God bless you and yours 🙏

In 2022, I was ranting and raving to my girlfriend at the time about #Bitcoin.
She said, "I think you're spending too much time in niche communities on the internet." I was deep down the rabbit hole, to be fair. I probably seemed a bit crazy. It was also a bear market, FTX collapse, etc.
Well, now she's my ex and Bitcoin is up over 660% in 3 years.
As they say, "the riches are in the niches."
Thanks, Bitcoin Twitter & Nostr 😂😂😂

There is something deeply troubling about the trend towards "artificial everything."
Artificial intelligence
Artificial food
Artificial relationships
Artificial (augmented) reality
Remember that a synonym for artificial is fake.
A society wide push to implement the artificial implies that there is something wrong with the natural.
Who says there is anything wrong with the natural?
Are we so dissatisfied with the natural that we have to build a fake reality for our consciousness to live in?
I predict that there will be a massive, global backlash against "artificial everything."
As it turns out, humanity will be okay with the flaws inherent its nature. It will recognize the majesty of the natural and it will reject the artificial writ large.
Or maybe I'm completely wrong and we'll be living in a world that looks like a combination of "Her," "I, Robot," and "Black Mirror."
