Looking back we will always realize we had to see Gold re-gain the crown. Then Bitcoin the true heir-apparent.

I feel the same questions and concerns. And I won’t pretend I know, because literally no one person knows. There are so many decades of consortiums acting together and against ad infinitum over a century or more becoming a non-virtual World Wide Web of power that it’s incomprehensible to any singular one of us or even of them. So naturally we just choose not to care…except we seem to be experiencing the end-game. Maybe. In which only a handful of them are now exercising inordinate control worldwide, having garnered and incorporated vast UNINCORPORATED military and non-military divisions beyond outline or trace. At any rate, forget all that. I doesn’t matter and is only disheartening…my only point is that WE very real human beings have been born into this very unhuman bureaucratic hellscape solely because the US Dollar introduced Fiat Money like a shitcoin cryptocurrency into the world. The “discovery” of Fiat money devaluation was like jet-fuel for centuries of shitty power-struggling psychopaths. Learning and grasping and understanding that really sucks. Yet we’re living in the end-times of it. And what can we do? We’re here, now. This is me, as best I can be. I’m living in the end-times of jet-fueled psychopathy, and it won’t end without all of us suffering, even Bitcoiners evidently. Why would I want to come to grips with that? Why am I even reading this post at this point, if I this guy posting this shit can’t give me actionable advice to make my life better right away, tomorrow??? Yeah. Been there. All I can say is that we are Hopeful. With Bitcoin. Because we were given Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a test. It’s Excalibur. It’s just there. It’s a call, your call only. No goal, no judgement, no win or a fail. You just take it, or you don’t. Maybe come back later. But Like Humility, or Self-esteem, or Conscience, or Presence, or Being It IS an achievement. When you are ready.

I hate/don’t hate this view. But if we entertain it, that means we need to see that the proverbial Bitcoin-meme “Money Printer” has not stopped but only changed hands. [Which won’t surprise TFTC viewers & Luongo lovers - but I’m dubious they can pull this off….THIS time (despite having watched Fed/Dollar money manager work magic for decades).] As I see it, what your interviewee is saying (in this clip) is that money printing is no longer a shotgun, but a paid tactical team. I doubt that hasn’t always been the case, but I’m totally open to the fact that instead of US banks being the bailouts it’s now dozens of worldwide agents… sigh. As Marty says, “it’s all so tiresome”. I just don’t believe they can weaponize the Dollar back into non-“Eurodollar/foreigndollar” hands. But in truth I had given something like a 25% chance that they could reign-in the 2007-2008 financial crisis, and they fucking did it. In spades. And also, I’ve learned and would love to say Bitcoin fixes this, but alas Bitcoin is still clearly not just a young person’s dream, but a Hope for the next and younger generation. Fiat just keeps on scorching everyone’s Earth.

Unpopular Nostr Opinion: I’m old enough to remember that when rich folk start losing money the Fed always, ALWAYS steps in to make them rich again - overnight. After they bagged their game…which they telegraphed beforehand. I suspect only a handful of people I know are spotting the telegraph, so I’m not confident about anything rn. But currencies, bonds, and sound money are all spinning so very fucking askew that whatever the target is it’s serious and the globe is going to pay for it when they execute it. When the blood they seek is in their hands…the refunding will be Spectacular. Game-changing. But Do not try to second-guess this, Bitcoiner. Because this is not simply a falling knife. We know nothing about the game being played. Now - IMHO - is the time to go underground, like the proverbial shrew before the asteroid. Now is the time when stay Humble matters most. Now - again, my stupid-ass Internet rando opinion - is when you need to prepare for Fourth Turning, full Prepper, hodl your family close, learn and love to make beans and bread and rice, abandon the cities and find a rural lifeboat, et al. Because the global, primal signals that have been ignored, then laughed at, then fought, are crazy clear about to win. And we may be wrong again, no doubt. But you won’t miss out, so don’t try to catch the bottom of a falling knife. I, personally, am going underground. Keeping mine what is mine. This is bigger than a COVID event. PEOPLE are an expendable resource to those who exist for Fiat money. No, this is a Fiat money epidemic.

fyi, its unavailable for me on Damus on iPad.

5% of trades are worthy. Spend years and your net worth figuring them out.

I just saw a Reuters title and the powers that be are attempting to re-name “Bitcoin Treasury Cos” as “Crypto Hoarding Cos”. Makes me wonder about recent speculation that Wall St has indeed been orchestrating this decline specifically to bankrupt Michael Saylor et all and buy their stack at fire-sale discount…

No clue, but is this why LN Markets has seemed far more active recently? Also…all trading is futures, just saying. If we could trade the past we’d all own Gold right now.

I’ve been avoiding TwitX lately. Is Luke Gromen doing victory laps yet?

I like to keep my distance from federal-scale politics, and view much of it as Kabuki theatre/Kayfabe for the mass-audience. But (and in that light) I find the pov interesting that Trump orchestrated his “falling out” with Elon Musk at least partly so he could ask Musk to post that famous tweet about Trump being a major figure in the Epstein files. Trump clearly uses Trump Derangement Syndrome as a ring-in-the-nose for millions of people (much like other such issues like Abortion have been used by both parties for decades). The Epstein files were being continually stonewalled, especially by liberals - UNTIL Musk hinted that Trump would be damned in them. And like clockwork suddenly Dems cannot get them posted fast enough. If Trump was actually indicted in, why weren’t at least the specific references posted years ago? Plus, Trump has repeatedly said early on that he wasn’t dumb enough to get caught-up in the whole Epstein honey-pot. So I personally can’t believe theres anything substantial in the files about him, or insiders would have used that info to destroy him years ago. So I like to toy with the idea that Trump worked with Musk to re-vitalize the drive for disclosure by simply tweeting that exposing those files would be damning to Trump. It’s an elegant stroke (much like how Trump subjugated the entire globe by simply Tweeting tariffs into existence, and inciting every world leader to bend the knee to him to avoid such). At any rate, what is inarguable is that now, suddenly, all the people who pointedly ignored those files for years have bent the knee and are screaming loudly for their disclosure. And only and solely because Musk promised them that disclosure would destroy Trump.
