I don't think they can engineer Quantum to scale cheaply and reliably enough to be useful. I think they'll just use Quantum as a threat to move BTC to a NIST-approved PQ algo and KYC almost everyone (we must know who migrated which coins, for your safety and AML). Exchanges, custodians and large wallets will roll out PQ migration tools first. This leads to more centralization, paperization and KYC. They might push for freezing coins for those who refuse to migrate, etc. I've covered this in this article: https://controlplanecapital.com/p/a-quantum-resistance-upgrade-would

If BTC starts going up in fiat terms, most will instantly forget about its centralization issues. The Quantum computing scam is the dark horse IMO. The Controllers are clearly setting it up, but on what timeline and how aggressive is difficult to predict. This video of Peter Thiel from 2024 when Bitcoin was the ~same price as now is for some reason stuck in my head ever since I watched it. Starts at 1:50: - "I still hold some Bitcoin... yeah I, ... you know... there are all these ways I.... didn't buy as much as I should have.... and I'm not sure it's going to go up that dramatically from here." Peter Thiel certainly has lots of insider knowledge but he's difficult to read. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NwdcWYXWPU

"Solutions?" is a great question. For most people the solution is "be more Amish". Focus on what actually matters: - your health, your family, your community, your skills, your adaptability, tools, machinery, weapons, self-sufficiency, gold, silver, Monero (if you need digital cash - most don't), land that produces food, energy, local services, cattle, etc. As I've outlined in this article ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/bitcoin-will-fail-as-mass-non-custodial ), finding solutions that turn Bitcoin into mass, non-custodial medium-of-exchange is extremely unlikely because of the Coordination tax. The Coordination Tax is how the Controllers manage Bitcoin (smaller scale), but also how they manage society (larger scale). The Coordination Tax in society is the recurring total cost of getting large numbers of humans with different incentives, different information, different risk tolerances, different time horizons, and different status games to act as one organism across time. In Bitcoin, you have 3 stacked systems: - S₀ Protocol: consensus rules, Proof-of-Work, supply. - S₁ Policy: relay/mempool defaults, mining templates, wallet behaviors. - S₂ Perimeter: banks, clouds, app stores, ISPs, payment networks, tax law, PR. Security: S₀ is math; S₁/S₂ are sociotechnical (having both social elements (people, culture, organizations) and technical elements (machines, technology, processes)). The Coordination Tax in Bitcoin: recurring human + legal + distribution cost to keep S₁ (Policy)/S₂ (Perimeter) aligned with S₀(Protocol)’s ideals. There is an Attacker asymmetry: One cheap perimeter tweak (Acceptable Use Policy line, bank heuristic, pool template) can shift millions. Defenders must hold all fronts, all the time. You'll find yourself in endless civil wars, e.g.: - Core v30 — Inscriptions / spam vs “art” - Taint, “clean UTXOs” & compliant-Bitcoin vs grey-Bitcoin - Node liability & “publisher” / CSAM / sanctions content - Quantum-resistance, key-rotation & “lost coins” - Paperization & “wrapped Bitcoin” vs base-layer Bitcoin - Protocol ossification vs “surgery to survive” - Blockspace & “digital cash vs data chain” (the rematch) Many in the Bitcoin space are stuck in a sunk cost fallacy. This is exaggerated due to the low fiat price (compared to last year). Many will be cured once the price recovers. Bitcoin could still go up in fiat terms, but as far as freedom money goes, the battle is already lost. The solution is to try to spend most of your time on things you can control, instead of arguing with bad faith/brainwashed actors in this rotten space. The battle was never meant to be won because Bitcoin was likely created by the government to act as a digital decoy for physical gold. I've written about this here: https://controlplanecapital.com/p/why-i-think-the-government-created TL;DR in a screenshot: Bitcoin as mass, non-custodial MoE wasn't really a winnable battle.

Yes, the Snodgres interview is a good example. The definition of private sector is: - The part of the economy that is controlled by individuals or private organizations and is not funded by the government. The part of the economy that is not controlled or funded by the government is pretty small. Companies like Nvidia, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Palantir, META, Tesla, SpaceX, etc., are actually the government. I've written about this here: - https://controlplanecapital.com/p/all-of-your-favorite-entrepreneurs - https://controlplanecapital.com/p/the-largest-companies-in-the-world

If you're asking for evidence that Bitcoin was created by the government, it's circumstantial and incentives-based. Obviously, I wasn't there. I've written about it here - https://controlplanecapital.com/p/why-i-think-the-government-created TL;DR If you're asking for evidence that most outliers get identified early and hired by the government, Cody Snodgres and the OKC bombing has some great examples: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jm1G-cCvbJU I think it's kind of obvious that they'd hire the smartest people in the world. Even if they don't intend to use them, once hired by the government, they aren't on team plebs. There are stories about pulling the smartest people out of military schools due to "injuries" and contracting them to do black ops. I've only heard 1 guy admit that they tried to recruit him in high school but he declined. I'd imagine most people accept.

Bitcoin has become BitCohen. It could've been this way from the very beginning and we're just finding out now. Even if they didn't write it, they likely greenlit it. Sadly, most of the people who are capable of creating something like Bitcoin work for the government. Most outliers get identified and hired by the government very early. Very few decline the offer.

TL;DR on what the Bitcoin cycle actually is The Bitcoin cycle is mostly just the liquidity cycle and by default, the liquidity cycle is optimized around the 4-year US Presidential cycle. This is evident by looking at the average S&P returns and earnings per share (EPS) gains in each year of US Presidential terms. For most of its existence, Bitcoin has been one of the most sensitive to liquidity assets (inject liquidity -> BTC price up, drain liquidity -> BTC price down). Bitcoin's returns look similar (midterm years are worst). We've lived under something very close to a One World Government for a while now and for the last ~200 years the US has been the main character. Central Banks of "rival" countries coordinate injecting/pulling liquidity. The 4-year US Presidential cycle as a control script: - Year 1: sell hope, enjoy inherited momentum (don't break markets, keep liquidity flowing). - Year 2: tighten screws, reset valuations, "discipline" theater. - Year 3: pre-election sugar high (flood liquidity + narrative). - Year 4: don't break anything big; sell "steady hand". S&P price avg 1970–2024: - Year 1: +9.9% - Year 2: +0.9% (midterm year usually means bad returns) - Year 3: +16.9% - Year 4: +11.2% S&P EPS: - Year 1: +3.7% - Year 2: +12.6% - Year 3: +7.6% - Year 4: +7.7% Translation: Year 2 (midterms) = best earnings, worst price → forced multiple compression. In other words, Year 2 is optimal for visible pain for multiple reasons, but mainly because it is furthest from presidential elections: Year 1: too soon to rug, they just sold "hope & change". Year 3–4: too close to the big vote. Year 2: you can always blame: - "previous administration’s mess" - "congressional obstruction" - "necessary tough choices" - Voters mostly care about conditions right before the presidential election, not 2 years earlier. You will also notice that EPS (Earnings per share) are strongest in the midterm year which is usually the worst for asset prices (forced multiple compression). Translation: you often see decent real-world growth at the same time as: - weak equity markets, - drained financial liquidity, - multiple compression. Question: When is it cheapest (in legitimacy units) to impose that pain on financial markets? Answer: when the real economy looks okay. Because: - If jobs / GDP look decent, they can say: - "The economy is strong, we just need to normalize markets." - "This is healthy rebalancing after excess." If they wait until growth is already weak: - any tightening/crack will be blamed for unemployment and visible hardship. - the legitimacy cost explodes. This is what they they prefer to do by default. This is not a hard rule in any way. There are way too many known unknowns, unknown unknowns, etc. For example, we are currently experiencing the build-out of the subsidized AI surveillance state. This is just an oversimplified TL;DR.

A short story on how Central Bankers view gold Central Banker: Gold is a useless, shiny, yellow rock without yield. It is so irrelevant that we (the US Treasury) still uses an accounting price of $42.22 per troy ounce for its gold reserves on the federal balance sheet (unchanged since 1973). Citizen: Then why do Central Banks store, secure, transport and accumulate tens of trillions of dollars of gold? Central Banker: Because of tradition. h3h3h3!!!1 Meanwhile a Wikileaks release from the United States Congressional Research service: - "The continued willingness of the U.S. government to hold a large underutilized stock of gold is, perhaps, best understood as a hedge against times of severe economic crisis when paper assets could be useless." Crazy prediction: Before the end of 2033, Bitcoin gets exposed as goy gold (digital decoy for physical gold). More context: https://controlplanecapital.com/p/why-i-think-the-government-created

Yes, I've implicitly compared Bitcoin to Monero in this aritcle ( https://controlplanecapital.com/p/bitcoin-will-fail-as-mass-non-custodial ). Monero is better digital cash by a wide margin, but it's not a silver bullet. For the current regime, privacy by default is a non-negotiable. I'd use Monero if I need digital cash, not as a store of value. Many Monero devs likely work for the government, some hardware wallets are very likely backdoored, government agents can decide to spam L1 until running nodes becomes annoying, they can make it radioactive so 99.99% of the population avoid it like the plague, etc. Still, if you need to use digital cash, Monero is your best bet. The other recommendations I've mentioned are going to be more important for most people.
