"Tick tock, next block" is 300,000 blocks old.

Making something cheaper by law can make it disappear from the market. Here’s why price controls keep producing results nobody intended.

1933: the US government ordered Americans to turn in their gold at $20.67 an ounce. Hoarding risked 10 years in prison. 1934: it repriced the same gold at $35. Same ounce. 69% more dollars. The Treasury booked $2.8 billion in "profit." The people who turned it in got nothing.

Bitcoin has changed my life, but even more so, Bitcoiners have changed my life. I appreciate you all 🙏

The US 10Y Note Yield is now moving in a literal straight-line higher, up to 5.13%. This is no longer an issue that we have months or years to address. This is unsustainable.

America’s power rests on economic freedom and the deepest capital markets in the world. The next century belongs to the country where people are free to build and capital is free to back them. That should be America. Our policy should make it inevitable.

Stroke of a Pen I told Opus 5.5 to read my Bitcoin & monetary-history wikis & make a music video with code only. it used ElevenLabs for the track. Then a swarm of agents storyboarded and coded a 3:23 portrait reel. ~75 shots cut on the beats. Had to do 2 revisions - first the people looked like poorly animated stick figures & it rewrote the rigs. Then I said use matrix code to make it more interesting. Impressive!

"IF BITCOIN IS MONEY, WHY IS EVERYTHING STILL PRICED IN DOLLARS?" Because store of value comes first. Conventional wisdom says people spend Bitcoin next (medium of exchange), then price things in it (unit of account). But in 1990s Russia, businesses priced things in dollars and took payment in rubles. …in today's OUTSIDE MONEY

10-year US Treasury rates are back to 2007 levels... Inflation is structural and currently running higher than the (abnormally low) 2010s... The US economy is booming (see chart below)... I am Bullish. 🐂

Ya'll are so crazy I'm writing another sci fi novel to remain sane. You're going to love it, though.

It’s my birthday. Here’s something I’ve been telling the people I care about for many years.

THREE WAYS THE WORLD TURNS INWARD Are we moving from a liquidity-driven economy into a commodity-driven regime? For decades, the world could usually produce more of whatever we wanted. Now countries are turning inward just as AI, defense, reshoring, and electrification are demanding enormous amounts of physical capacity. This has happened before, for very different reasons and with very different results. 1. Choice (Europe's 1879 tariffs) 2. Necessity (Napoleon's blockade) 3. Impossibility (the cotton famine) …in today’s OUTSIDE MONEY

Monetary debasement is a catastrophic scam. Bitcoin is the revolution. “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” - Henry Ford
