Thomas Jefferson warned us.

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property."

Look around.

He was right.

Bitcoin fixes this.

Someone asked me "what if the internet goes down?"

I used to struggle with that question.

Then @ForrestHODL said something that stopped me cold.

Destroying Bitcoin would require destroying every single copy of the blockchain globally.

That's like trying to erase the English language.

As long as one person survives to continue it — it continues.

Bitcoin isn't a server.

It's an idea. And you can't kill an idea. 🟠

People are furious at the government.
Furious at the banks.
Furious at corporations.

Some are even talking about getting violent.

But the most powerful thing you can do requires no violence.
No protest. No permission.

Just opt out.

Hold Bitcoin. Self custody.

Your money stops funding the machine the moment you take it back. 🟠

They said the quiet part out loud.

The government is negotiating with banks.

Not fighting for you.
Not protecting your savings.
Not stopping inflation.

Negotiating with banks.

They work for them. Always have.

Bitcoin doesn't negotiate with anyone.

So you’re completely into bitcoin, you got your dca, you got your cold wallet, you’re down to hold for the next generation. What makes you still consume bitcoin content? I’m actually curious because what does watching or creating actually do for someone that’s all in? What else can you or should you now do with that time?

It refines and distills your own ideas and explainations for the sake of the people you care about reaching (that can be unplugged from the matrix) Thata a long way of saying orange pill capability. The more people we can shepherd off the fiat plantation, the weaker the masters become, which makes...

Orange pilled a 65 year old today.

Not with charts. Not with price predictions.

With self custody.

He grew up hiding cash under the mattress because he didn't trust banks with his money.

I told him Bitcoin in self custody is the same thing.

Except nobody can find it under the mattress. 🟠

After all the research. All the analysis.

I keep coming back to the same three.

Bitcoin. MSTR. STRC.

The underlying asset.
Amplified Bitcoin exposure.
Dividends.

I really don't see why you need anything else.

My father went to jail when I was an infant. When he got out I was 18.

He got murdered before we ever met.

I met him for the first time at his funeral. In a room full of family that didn't even know he had a son.

I was raised on welfare by a single mother who did everything she could with nothing.

No father. No blueprint. No head start.

And I'm telling you this not for sympathy.

I'm telling you this because someone reading this right now is about to use their circumstances as a reason not to try.

Don't.

20 years military. Degree. FAA certification. Got my health and wealth on track. Family secured. Bitcoin stacked.

All built from nothing. All built for my children so they never have to start where I did.

Your parents not giving you enough is not your ceiling.

It's your origin story.

Stack harder.

Let this sink in.

BlackRock took your 401k money.
Bought up single family homes.
Now you can't afford one.

Now they're buying Bitcoin.
With your ETF money.
So you can't afford that either.

IBIT is not Bitcoin.

You're not investing. You're funding the takeover.

I appreciate what you're laying out here, but I'm not deep enough in the crypto infrastructure side to speak confidently on IBIT mechanics. What's your read on self-custody options that actually feel accessible to most people?

The lottery is a tax on hope.

Casinos are a tax on desperation.

Every dollar I wouldve wasted chasing slim odds is now stacking sats.

And my real jackpot?

One of my miners hits a Bitcoin block reward.

Same thrill. Infinite upside. Actual ownership.

"Bitcoin is a scam."

Ok. So your plan is:

Work until you're 75. Hope Social Security is enough, then move into a nursing home

and THAT makes more sense to you?
