In jail they use cigarettes and ramen noodles as money.

No government issued it.
No central bank backs it.
No printer controls it.

The people decided. And it worked.

Money doesn't have to be printed paper controlled by the government.

It never did.

The people have always had the power to choose.

We're choosing Bitcoin.

If gold is so great as money why are you wearing it around your neck like a slave, driving to restaurants in a car with gold rims and paying extra for a steak that has gold coating on it?

Seems like gold isn’t that scarce and we should just be storing and using our money.

Robinhood wasn’t built for you.
It was built to get retail into the market easier.
So they could take your money easier.
Gamified app. Zero commissions. Confetti when you buy.
All designed to make losing money feel like playing a game.
Then Bitcoin happened and money started leaving.
So now they want to control crypto too.
Same trap. New skin.

The 1% own everything.
The 99% complain about it.
But what if the 99% just switched the game?
Every single one of us going full Bitcoin overnight.
We’d become rich overnight.
We’d take our power back overnight.
And there’s nothing the 1% could do about it.
The power was always with the people.
We just never used it.

A 50% off iPhone sale would cause riots.

Lines around the block.

People camping outside overnight.

Bitcoin drops 50% and everyone runs.

They’d fight for a phone that depreciates the moment they leave the store.

But run from the hardest money ever created when it’s actually cheap.

I'll probably do the same if that happens, if I have the budget.

The rich hating Bitcoin makes sense.

It disrupts their power. Their control. Their ability to print wealth while yours evaporates.

Of course they hate it.

But the middle class and below who hate it?

That's just fear dressed up as an opinion.

You don't want a way out.

You want someone to blame for not taking one.

For Father’s Day weekend I drove my family 6 hours to see the giant sequoias in California.

Sat there for a moment looking at them walk around while I’m just in awe at everything and I realize.

This is amazing for me because as a child I never left New York to see amazing things like this.

For my kids, this is just another typical weekend.

Blessed to be able to give them the experiences at an early age, even when they’re a first for me as well later in life
