Told a close friend of mine to stop thinking of bitcoin as an investment, and just sell a cup she doesn’t use on marketplace to actually own something that isn’t part of the system. It’s a symbol and a north start that eventually guides you towards a way of life that has integrity and sovereignty. She finally connected how this is a powerful protest against systemic injustice and a way to exit powerfully.

Yusss I concur and support and feel strongly about this as well, honestly the best thing to happen to me last year and the best continuation and source of inspiration for people to be with and work with

crunchy tiramisu is underrated

Gold has already been demonetized... and cannot serve as a financial medium in a digital age. BTC will 2x in gold terms in the next 4 years to prove this point, 4x in the next 8 to attain stability, and 8x in the in the next 12 years to cement it, 16x in 16 years to upend it, and all bets are off that: it grows 32x in gold terms in 20 years and we all live on a Bitcoin Standard.

No amount of money printing will save Japan. Every business cycle should have forced a reset, and low interest rates should have encouraged business. Instead, it ended up protecting weak firms, redirecting capital to scarce assets, and exported it to earn better yields elsewhere. The Bank of Japan didn’t just stabilize the system, it anesthetized it. The economy forgot how to renew itself, wages stalled, and productivity along with it. Risk-taking brings little reward, so a whole generation grows up just expecting things to stay more of the same. People don't stop having children for cultural reasons, it's more often tied to economics. When the future feels flat, people stop building toward it. When you suppress volatility, you think you're eliminate downside but the truth is you actually wipe out all the upside.

What's the Bitcoin Standard case for Japan? Stop printing and let deep deflation revitalize the economy? Perhaps a more gradual transition the way El Salvador is doing? Genuinely curious - would love to get your opinions, or be pointed to a video if you've already talked about this

When Muslims envision greater sovereignty through Bitcoin, what is the realistic hope here? Is it mere personal financial dignity, community resilience, or is it possible to prophesize something greater?

people don't want to follow someone who isn't too sure of themselves, but the world might be a little better off if we stopped pretending to be so sure of ourselves

Is Bitcoin your Unit of Account?

Do you ever look at companies doing something you've tried or have experience in and just want to yell at them because you know it's not going to work and you know why? I expect some of my advisors and investors may have felt this way about paths I've taken with the company before as well. It's just you also know that explaining it to the guys isn't actually going to help them understand it till they go through it themselves. Also you could have been wrong or they understand something you don't, but that really is not the case, 9 times out of ten. Business cycles... makes start listening better myself though.
