The best strategy in the world won’t do you any good if you allow emotions to trump logic.

To put into perspective how bad we got screwed by the Trump administration. January 2025: BTC and Alts were primed to take off. $TRUMP and $MELANIA drop within the same weekend and obliterate all liquidity. February - April 2025: There was infinite tariff nonsense that churned all markets down. Believe it or not, the Federal Reserve was always lowering interest rates in 2025. Trump introduced random uncertainty out of no where. Even when other markets started to bounce, crypto started to lag like crazy. October 2025: BTC has JUST hit ATHs and Alts were recovering the first week of October. Then Trump announced some nonsense China related tariff headline late Friday afternoon. Crypto gets obliterated once again. November 2025 - January 2026: Equities and metals have their blowoff top while crypto is still reeling from 10/10. February 2026: Between the social unrest, Epstein files, and a worthless Fed chair replacement for Powell, all markets (but especially crypto) get slaughtered again. This guy has done NOTHING except line up his and his family's pockets at the expense of crypto.

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; they'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law. This was a comment I saw under my content. I must say… Perfectly articulated.

This Minneapolis resident just said what everyone should be feeling right now: “This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now. It’s your 2nd Amendment, your 4th Amendment, your 6th Amendment.” “We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution.” Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.

It doesn’t make you a lib to be disgusted to see a man get murdered for practicing his first and second amendment rights. Blindly defending ICE because Trump and his administration tells you to makes you the opposite of a patriot and is as anti-American as it gets.

You know, it’s perfectly fine to be in support of a crackdown on illegal immigration and the removal of such people AND really disgusted with your government acting as the gestapo, grossly violating the constitution, and our civil liberties. Wake up.

What's going on in crypto? Flat or declining markets. Definite vibe shift... A few thoughts. Markets have stalled, in my opinion, because the disintermediation use case has been effectively destroyed in America. An account-based industry offers no distinct advantage over the status quo. A toxic combination of regulatory and legal malfeasance combined with legislative inertia have caused capital flight and user avoidance - in America. In 2025 GENIUS Act became law, providing a federal framework for stablecoins. This is an account-based approach, favored by banks, that prevents non-banks from paying interest, fails to protect self-custody and by design enables a "wholesale CBDC". The wholesale part is cosmetic. On the back end all of the other characteristics of CBDC are being built while the massive deficits that undermine the value of the dollar continue unabated. Stablecoins offer the hope of more demand for US Treasuries, which may help lower rates and more broadly distribute the monetization of federal interest payments on our massive debt and deficits. Meanwhile, the broader digital asset market still awaits passage of the CLARITY Act by the Senate. Along with providing some overly cumbersome legal clarity for tokenized commodities, tokenized securities, and tokenized real world assets, CLARITY promises to fix some of the deficiencies in GENIUS by protecting self-custody and incorporating other House provisions. Ultimately, if the Senate even passes a bill, I expect any nod to individual freedom will be cosmetic and pose no meaningful change to the account-based regime. The future of money will determine the future. Without massive divine intervention, that future looks permissioned, surveilled, and debased. Remember, the promise of Bitcoin was not an illiquid inflating asset, but rather a permission-less, peer-to-peer payment system. With Bitcoin, no third party could condition your access to your money, and you could move it anywhere at the speed of light. Account-based HODL dominance has led to some useful innovations, but they are highly threatened as already noted, and punctuated by men in jail for writing software to protect self-custody and privacy. At some point, the industry and government will offer digital ID to grant permission to their permissioned network for money. Do not be deceived; this is a cosmetic illusion of freedom designed to enable more surveillance, coercion, and control. We need to reject this globalist surveillance state and return to first principles. No government grants you permission to transact, and no government should infringe this right without probable cause and due process. Returning to this condition requires either a wholesale rejection of the 3rd party doctrine or strong legal protections privacy and decentralized computing architectures (like Bitcoin or ZCash) that build trust in ways that limit surveillance and always protect permissionless self-custody. I've pushed for such a future since 2017, but most of the momentum looks like account-based dominance with some cosmetic nods to individual freedom. Digital ID and CBDC pose an existential threat to the future of freedom, and they have more momentum. It would be wise to make a plan to grow and preserve your net worth with that in mind. You can keep telling your Congress to FULLY ban Central Bank Digital Currency, ban Digital ID, protect self-custody, and guarantee that right to transact is once again un-infringed. It will take a miracle, but I believe miracles still happen. Happy New Year!

When consequences are removed from society, lawlessness is taught. When accountability is refused from society, crime becomes the lesson. A society that won’t correct itself will be ruled by its worst.

I don’t even know how people still act like this is normal. Year after year, it’s the same damn loop. Same politicians, same lies, same outcomes. Both parties survive, and regular people just keep getting squeezed. And everyone shrugs and goes back to scrolling like this isn’t completely insane. These people don’t represent us. They manage us. They talk in circles, stall everything, and sell every power grab as “necessary”. They call it democracy while taking more, giving less, and somehow expecting gratitude for it. I’ve heard every promise. I’ve watched 90% of them evaporate. Then the panic starts—this election is different, this one really matters. Vote harder. Trust them again. Again. And guess what…nothing changes. You get nothing, again. Even when Republicans win, it’s the same disappointment. All that momentum just dies. Infighting, distractions, optics. No action. The machine protects itself and keeps moving like nothing ever happened. And now the grift and corruption isn’t just in government anymore—it’s online too. Influencers and podcasters running a parallel scam. Outrage for clicks. Principles for profit. They pretend to fight the system while feeding off it. Same circus, different platform. They’ve been screaming if the other side wins, it’s over—for decades. And yet the same people are still in charge, still rich, still failing upward, while everything keeps getting worse. At some point you stop panicking and start realizing who always comes out on top. They win. We pay. Every single time. This doesn’t feel chaotic anymore. We’re numb to it. Almost accepting of it. Comfortable with it. And that’s what it’s designed to do. Divide people. Keep them angry. Normalize the damage. Pull it back just enough so everyone adjusts. Rinse and repeat. Freedom doesn’t disappear overnight—it gets chipped away while everyone argues over the noise. It honestly feels like we’re stuck in some bad simulation. Like a Truman Show where everyone else is still playing along. Same headlines, same fake urgency, same ending—on repeat. I’m past being shocked. Past being hopeful. Past pretending this is just politics. Like I said, just—numb. What really gets me is how many people still defend this system. Still defend the politicians screwing them and the influencers selling it to them. Like they’re in too deep to admit they’ve been played. I don’t know when it finally breaks. It probably won’t ever break. Comfort and comprise are self-inflicted wounds allowing for this to continue. I just know I’m tired of watching it, tired of pacifying those who still refuse to see it, and I’m done pretending it’s normal.

In all of Bitcoin's history if it's closed the month of September green it's had a double digit month in October.
