It's abused for sure, but keyenisan modelling allows for nuance and locale based data to guide decision making. Just because the US fucks up, it doesn't mean that it's failure for everyone. In fact moving off the gold standard is what allowed the US to expand and grow very rapidly, because the p...

Why are so many working people still struggling to eat?

Over 40 million Americans are on food stamps and a lot of them are employed full-time. Let that sink in. People are doing everything they’re “supposed” to: working, showing up, hustling, grinding. And they still can’t afford basic groceries.

That’s not laziness. That’s a scam economy. Prices go up, wages don’t, and the people at the top keep telling us the economy is “strong.” Strong for who?

I’m new to Bitcoin, but the more I watch what’s happening, the more it makes sense why people are over the dollar. The system isn’t built to help you, it’s built to drain you. 😤

Why, much of it has to do with the person in the mirror and their choices, sure some people have an unfortunate circumstance. But I believe a majority spend too much time with the wrong people, doing the wrong things. It's all about life choices.

That's one of the many reasons no one should do what they are "supposed" to. That stopped giving good results quite a while ago.

Sorry about the spelling error. “Cuck buck” = fiat currency 💵 💴 💷 “DCA” = dollar cost averaging (not using all that 401k money at once and spacing out your buys to get the fluctuations in the market price of bitcoin making your “cuck bucks” go a bit further.

Just now learning how a 401k REALLY works… and honestly, it feels like such a rigged game. Lock up your money for decades, trust that inflation and fees won’t eat it away, and hope the system doesn’t collapse before you retire. The more I dig, the more I see how broken it is

I’m feeling drawn more and more to Bitcoin. No middlemen, no waiting decades, no fees, no games. Just real ownership. I’m intrigued ⚡️💰

Pushing people into the stock market is one of the more sinsister and insidious aspects of the fiat system. Along with this are the limits around how you can allocate YOUR money within the 401k. They are terrible

Once that fully sinks in... Almost everything else that the government (any government) has done to 'help' its citizens, or for the 'safety' of its citizens, is equally flawed and has equally ugly side effects. ... and I said 'Almost' to be polite...

I drained 2 small IRAs that used to be 401ks into BTC via a Daily DCA. The penalty and taxes sucked but today 3 years later it’s a rounding error on the gains

Now comes the battle to reject the programming and withdraw the funds, take the penalty and DCA those Cuck bucks into Bitcoin. God speed my friend 🫡

Entire lives wasted slaving away for this system

It's even worse than that. By saving inside the system, you are feeding the machine that ends up enslaving you. Picture a small shop owner with a 401k. Instead of reinvesting profits to grow the family business and pass it to his children, he diverts a portion into a retirement fund. That fund buys...

Zapper no werky but yeah. My 401k was nothing until I dumped it into Swan bitcoin. 👊🏻🧡🍻 https://blossom.primal.net/6ebdf5fea18a5856be4bf9b380604d4494d902b94b8f5dec231e655c9476f5dc.jpg
