Energy efficiencies; something that people don’t talk about is the efficiency of riding the bus or the train, the metro because when you don’t have to drive and you’re not forced to sit, but that then means is that you actually can conserve more of your energy and physiological power?

The will to survive ? 

 we’re happier when we’re around other people

Bet on the jockey and the horse? 
And the track, and the game?

Bitcoin is a game you could actually win! 

So I thought the other day; now that I live in LA, Culver City… Life is different now than I was living in the suburbs of Orange County, like a two minute drive to my local gym etc.

And also, the tricky thing is that with the winter months, things are also different.

I recall that in the early mornings, when I was living in the OC, I would just put on my daily gym attire, drive to the gym, immediately hit the hot sauna wore myself up. But now things are a little bit trickier now that when I wake up in the morning, sometimes ridiculously early, the apartment is still cold, not a super strong impetus for me to go outside. 

Also, now where I live, is practically like 100%, 100 out of 100 walkability score. Here in Culver City, I’m living a walker’s paradise!

Now the reason why this is so important is that I’m kind of finally starting to figure out how critical it is for me to change my mindset, my approach, my protocol.

Also, now that Cindy is a century working full-time, and more often than not my time is a little more limited, the way I approach fitness is obviously changing and must change.

Recent innovations I’m happy for is after making a ton of money off of Microstrategy, buying two 50kg calibrated steel plates, which is about 110 pounds a plate.  it has been super super fun and cool because even lifting it up to rack it unto the barbell is a workout in itself! Also, have the time I’m just walking around town with Seneca, this might be the most walking I’ve ever done in my life, and all his arm carry him, and I’ve been noticing that also, my biceps are becoming a lot more buff and impressive. Even to myself!

Switching up the protocol

Even another weird thing is that as of late, I find that going on my walks my morning walks I was actually more important than lifting weights? I suppose the way I am able to double dip is that I’m like almost always wearing my 60pound weight vest, All day every day. 

So first, with exercise and fitness, I guess it is critical for me to change my mindset, and also my protocol on what to do, why I do it etc.

Also, what I think is so paradigm shattering with bitcoin is that now that we are all sons of bitcoin (Michael Saylor, @saylor tweet), we also have to change and replace and recapitalize on bitcoin as our base, concrete, bedrock foundation.

For example, if you’re building cyber Manhattan for the 22nd century, you don’t build it on bedrock on the main island. If you’re going to build in cyberspace, you need a totally new protocol, a totally new paradigm mindset.

Stick shift?

Every single car that I have purchased in my adult life has always been a stick shift Manual transmission car, five speed. And also my pride is I have never spent more than $3000 USD on a car in my whole adult life and I’m 36 years old, and the first bitcoin blogger photographer street photography millionaire that I know. Maybe the only one in the universe that was self-made?

How do you know if your self-made or not? If you practically had a single mom, who waited tables, clean houses, worked as a cashier, and also had a dad who would gamble away the rent money, threatening your mom with physical violence, and also mental violence if she didn’t cough up the rent money.

Now consider how pernicious this is; the real critical issue here is that not only are you trying to fight to stay afloat, but you’re also actively having somebody unplugging the hot water bath water.

I think this is also something that people who don’t understand growing up in a family of economic peril; once again it’s not just having two hard-working parents, struggling to work to minimum wage jobs just to pay the rent and expenses and put food on table; no, it is one mom working full-time While having a father who did not work ever since you were two years old, while actively gambling away the rent money. Double bad.

2025

We live in a really bizarre time, and I bet you it’s going to just get more and more bizarre. Once Donald Trump takes office January 20, 2025… You’ll see a huge paradigm shift.

First, obviously this will be good for us bitcoiners because bitcoin is going to go through the roof! Just look at the riveting talk that ERIC Trump did at the bitcoin conference in Abu Dhabi, in essentially which he says that he is confident that bitcoin is going to get to $1 million a coin.

The reason why I feel like this is very very important to watch is that because he is a son of the incoming president, he will actually do everything in his power to make sure this manifested as a reality. 

Funny enough, I didn’t even know that Donald Trump had a son named Eric Trump, I guess all guys whose first name is ERIC our geniuses! And also ERIC Semler of similar scientific, another ERIC! And also another ERIC Balchanus, like one of the head ETF guys at Bloomberg, his name is also ERIC? We gotta make an ERIC squad! 

Why new protocols are so difficult

Once again, if you’ve been riding a horse and buggy whole life, and I pull up in a matte black cyber truck, what will be your reaction? Your mind will absolutely be blown, your jaw will drop, you’re going to think that the person in the cyber truck is like some sort of alien god. Even a fully rational person will probably drop on his knees, and start repenting for his sins whatever.

Or, let us say that I drop you into the 1950s, and selling that you pull up with a brand new iPhone Pro, and you go to the head of Kodak and telling them that you came from the future and that this iPhone thing will totally disrupt their business. What would their reaction be?

Why photographers and digital photographers should intuitively understand bitcoin

We are all passionate about photography yet for a lot of us, we make our money elsewhere. But if you were like an investor in Kodak, and I came from the future and I told you that this thing would come along and totally destroy your business and you’ll go broke, unless you shift and embrace this new economic protocol and innovation, isn’t the wise thing to adopt the change? 

Even Peter Diamandis said “Bitcoin is digital photography”. or, “bitcoin is the iPhone”. 

You know this often tied phrase that a lot of these skinny fat bearded flannel wearing salty loser say “Humph! Everyone thinks that they’re a photographer now!” (Yes the truth is everyone is a guitar for now, and this is a good thing.)

I wonder if the same sentiment exist amongst acid fund managers “with bitcoin, everyone thinks that they’re an investor now!”

I think all of us, if you’ve been following me since the beginning, don’t you know that we have all always been anti-establishment, anti-“the man“,– if so, shouldn’t you embrace bitcoin with open arms?

We the new goats!

I think the reason why paradigm shifts are so difficult to understand and embrace is that once again this is a big deal. For example, the paradigm shift of bitcoin is like if you suddenly came up to Michael Jordan, and told him that the whole time he’s been playing the game wrong, or that they totally changed the rules of the game, certainly wouldn’t he be confused, and upset?

Embracing the new is hard

One thing I learned from the ERIC Trump talk is that apparently, the protocol for email was around for like 25 years before anyone actually really decided to use it. And now for most of us, it might be the most critical way to communicate, and magically teleport messages all across the planet.

I think for so long we’ve been stuck in this kind of fatalist mindset about the whole banking system, financial system whatever; now that we are living the year 2024, the year 2025, come on… Why are the banks closed after like 5 PM Eastern time? And why are the traditional stock markets closed on Saturdays and Sundays, when we all have these super Ultramega computers that could take us to Mars and back?

Like let us consider you know the story when they say that apparently, the computers that got us to the moon were like half of the computing power of like a TI 84 calculator? Isn’t that the same error in which the operating protocols for the NASDAQ stock exchange were invented?

Also, during those times, America was the only center of the universe, Singapore wasn’t really on the global stage, nor Dubai or any of these other global super power nations. As a consequence, everything revolved either around New York Manhattan time, or London time. So being able to operate on the protocol of these random arbitrary American numbers were common.

Now that once again, we are a global planet, don’t we need some sort of global capital token that could instantaneously trade hands, 24 seven, 365, all day every day, with no delay no lag no friction, no annoying middleman?

the middle mans feel at risk? 

Let us say that your job is to manage other people’s money, and that your well-being and money comes from other people being dependent on you, your financial services etc., if that is the case, wouldn’t you be interested to have other people always be dependent on you?

You don’t need no middleman

I almost feel that middleman, are like the biggest parasites to society.

For example, kind of a low-key super greedy bad thing, in their early days of text messaging, SMS messaging, apparently it cost nothing for these huge telecommunications platforms to transfer and facilitate a text message exchange. Like it was already running on the same rails, and that to send a text message did not cost the carrier $.10 or whatever, it was free for them but they charged you an arm and a leg. 

Similarly speaking, do you remember in the early days of smart phones, you’re forced to sign some sort of arbitrary to your contract, before actually signing up for a phone plan? This was like some terrible mafioso thing.

I almost wonder, maybe, now, starting next year, people are finally starting to wake up to their senses and realize how traditional banking is such a scam.

Also other arbitrary things, like… You need to maintain a certain bank balance for the checking account to be free, and also these pernicious overdraft fees, late fees etc.? Do you remember like the early days of blockbuster?

Even apparently, when I was listening to an interview with ERIC Semler, when he met the executive a blockbuster and told him that Netflix was almost an existential threat to them… Most of these executives at Blockbuster just laughed directly in their faces, and told them to leave. Where is blockbuster today?

I almost feel like this is going to happen to everything. Everything is going to be disrupted, whether we like it or not. The intelligent strategy is to accept embrace and integrate these new protocols.

For example, obviously the Internet as we know it today is already running the planet. Imagine if 20 years ago your company did not embrace the Internet, where would you be today?

What is bitcoin?

, Bitcoin is like the new Internet, except in some ways it is far more valuable because it actually deals with money. Why is this so important? The reason why this is so important is that money is actually more important than technology, or money might be the most important technology. 

For example, let me give you example; obviously I love ChatGPT and AI, but I could live without it. Things will be less optimal, but still, I could live life without ChatGPT. But could you live life without money? No.

And honestly at this point, you need the Internet. If you don’t have access to Wi-Fi, at home, at the local coffee shop, if you don’t have 4G or 5G cellular data on your phone, you’re absolutely screwed.

How was wolverine made?

This is an interesting analogy, I think the way that they made wolverine is that they replaced his entire skeleton with adamantine steel. A very painful process. But this made him invincible pretty much.

They call him weapon X.

Maybe the process of bitcoin is like the same thing, if somebody took out your whole exoskeleton your bones everything your ligaments, and you’re forced to replace it with some sort of new add a man times steel, even if it did make you immortal, certainly you would not like the process very much because it will be excruciatingly painful.

Who doesn’t want to live forever?

Everyone must die, you must die. But if I could promise you immortality, in 100 perfect health and vigor and happiness and joy, wouldn’t you take it? Probably.

Bitcoin is like heaven on earth?

So what is the difference between bitcoin and every other asset? Bitcoin will last forever like 100,000 years, 1 million years, 100 million years etc. You’re shabby real estate might last 30, 40 years?

Think long

Apparently Jeff Bezos invested in this thing called like the 100,000 year clock, which will apparently run and work for like 100,000 years. And the reason why this is a critical thing is that course is us to think about the long-term.

Even the reason why I think Jeff Bezos might be one of the most underrated entrepreneurs of all time is that he really really really played the long game with Amazon, pretty much projecting the dominance of Amazon, over the course of 20-30 years. 

So in the early days of Amazon, when Jeff Bezos was still transporting books to the local post office in his Honda accord, and I came from the future and I told you that one day, he in Amazon would send you run the planet, what would you have told me? You would’ve probably laughed in my face.

Or, that Apple, in the early days of Apple, like when they’ll still Wozniak and Steve Jobs in their garage building Apple two computer computers that once again, they would be like a $3 trillion company, what would you have said to me? You would’ve thought I was a fool!

But then again, once again, to think about the future, 20 or 30 years is not only difficult, but requires grand creativity, almost like a detachment from modern reality. If you are too stuck in the present, you’ll never become anything grand.

buy big become big

I was reading some newspaper article or television thing about how after the bitcoin boom, like the number of bitcoin millionaires, or people with over X amount of bitcoin in their wallet has exploded.

What are my bitcoin price projections? Considering that we’re going to have non-Trump the first bitcoin president, and his blood son, ERIC Trump in his left ear, we’re definitely going to see the bitcoin act pass, the senator Cynthia Lummis act, in which America will probably purchase at least 1 million bitcoins. If and when this happens, you’re definitely going to see a mad rush and explosion in the value of bitcoin.

Why? Like Michael Saylor said, if you were an evil genius, and you were America, the smart strategy is to sell all of your gold and demonetized and deepen the capital assets of your enemy, Russia and China, and all the other BRICS nations, because then, assuming if America owns like 25% of the bitcoin network, then suddenly you get this insanely phenomenal best trade of all time:

1. You essentially demonetize “debank” the assets of China Russia etc., which still stores a lot of their wealth in gold.
2. You get a free trade, you don’t have to print more US dollars to purchase more bitcoins, you just use already existing gold reserves.
3. You essentially make your country, America, the center of the economic planet, your conquer cyberspace, which is the next frontier, and you essentially control it forever.
4. You then back the US dollar stable coin with your bitcoin reserves, and then you make the US dollar coin the dominant coin of the planet.

Isn’t this obvious?

What is the American ethos?

Bet big, dominate, control it all!

malus, kakos (bad, wicked)

The word evil has a long and fascinating etymological history that traces back to Old English and beyond. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Old English: The word “evil” originates from the Old English word yfel, which meant “bad, vicious, ill, wicked.” It was used broadly to describe anything harmful or morally reprehensible.

2. Proto-Germanic: Before Old English, the term comes from the Proto-Germanic root ubilaz, which also carried the meaning of “bad” or “evil.” Variants of this root appear in other Germanic languages:

• Old High German: ubil

• Old Saxon: ubili

• Gothic: ubils

3. Proto-Indo-European: The root of ubilaz is thought to trace back to the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root upelo- or upo-, which conveys ideas of “overturning” or “exceeding limits,” suggesting something disruptive or harmful.

4. Shift in Usage: Over time, “evil” evolved from a general term for “bad” or “harmful” into a more specific term for moral wickedness, particularly in a religious or philosophical context.

5. Comparison with Related Words: In other languages, similar terms for “evil” also reflect notions of harm or moral wrong:

• Latin: malus (bad, evil)

• Greek: kakos (bad, wicked)

Thus, the concept of “evil” has ancient roots tied to notions of harm, wrongdoing, and disruption of order, evolving into its modern sense of profound immorality or wickedness.

Transgress good or healthy

Bad, harmful, deviant?

The English word “evil” has its origins deep in the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family, tracing back at least to the early stages of Old English and beyond. Its earliest known form in English appears as yfel in Old English texts, dating to before the 12th century. This Old English form aligns closely with cognates in other early Germanic languages, such as Old Saxon ubil, Old Frisian ivel, and Old High German ubil. All these variants carry meanings related to morally reprehensible behavior, misfortune, or something harmful or disastrous, though they did not always have the exclusively moral sense that “evil” often carries today.

The Proto-Germanic precursor is commonly reconstructed as *ubilaz (or similar variants), pointing to a shared root in the pre–written history of the Germanic tongues. Although definitive reconstructions at this deep temporal distance are always somewhat tentative, most historical linguists believe that this root signified something “bad,” “harmful,” or “deviant.” It may have been connected to the idea of transgressing established boundaries or failing to meet the standards of what was considered “good” or “healthy.”

Beyond Proto-Germanic, attempts have been made to link the root to Proto-Indo-European (PIE) forms. Some scholars have proposed a tie to a PIE root that would have carried a more general sense of “exceeding limits” or “causing harm,” though the precise PIE form and meaning remain uncertain. Such uncertainty arises because not every Germanic concept can be neatly matched to a PIE antecedent with a direct semantic equivalent. Nonetheless, the general sense of wrongdoing, harm, or moral deficiency seems consistent throughout its deep linguistic ancestry.

In Old English usage, yfel had a relatively broad semantic range, encompassing not only moral depravity but also misfortune, calamity, defect, and anything considered unfavorable or harmful. It was not strictly limited to moral evil as modern English often is. Over time, and through the Middle English period, the forms shifted—ivel, evil, and others—gradually standardizing into the modern spelling “evil.”

By the later medieval period and into Early Modern English, the moral and spiritual connotations of “evil” came to the forefront, particularly influenced by religious texts and philosophical treatises that contemplated the nature of sin, wrongdoing, and moral opposition to the divine. Thus, the modern English sense of “evil” as embodying profound immorality, wickedness, and malevolence reflects a long history of both linguistic evolution and cultural reinterpretation of its meaning.

Conceptualize — bitcoin for military 

One way to conceptualize “Bitcoin for the military” is to think of blockchain-backed digital currencies and distributed ledger technology as tools to enhance security, transparency, and efficiency within various military operations, both on the battlefield and in the broader defense ecosystem. This conceptualization isn’t about the military using public Bitcoin directly for day-to-day transactions, but rather about leveraging the underlying principles of blockchain technology—immutability, decentralization, and cryptographic security—to strengthen operational frameworks.

Key Dimensions to Consider:

1. Supply Chain Management and Logistics:

Military logistics involve complex global supply chains, often spanning multiple jurisdictions and involving a variety of contractors, vendors, and allies. By using a blockchain-based token—akin to a specialized cryptocurrency—each piece of materiel could be “tagged” on a secure ledger. From ammunition crates in a forward operating base to jet engine components at a maintenance depot, every transaction and movement could be recorded in a tamper-evident, distributed ledger.

• Benefits:

• Traceability: Commanders and logistics officers gain real-time visibility into inventory movements, preventing misrouting or pilferage.

• Auditable Compliance: Auditors and inspectors can verify the origin, maintenance history, and chain-of-custody of critical equipment with unparalleled precision.

• Cost Reduction: Reduced paperwork and middlemen through automated “smart contracts” that release payments only when delivery and quality checks are confirmed.

2. Financial Transactions Between Partner Nations:

Joint operations, peacekeeping missions, and coalition activities require seamless financial coordination. A secure, shared blockchain-based currency or stablecoin—perhaps a military consortium coin—could facilitate real-time settlements for cost-sharing arrangements, equipment leases, and emergency funds distribution.

• Benefits:

• Reduced Friction: Settlements could be made within minutes instead of waiting for complex intergovernmental clearances.

• Enhanced Trust: Pre-agreed upon smart contracts ensure that funds disburse only when mission criteria are met, alleviating concerns of fraud or misallocation.

3. Personnel Compensation and Benefits:

Deployed personnel often face challenges in accessing traditional banking services. A secure, military-issued digital currency wallet—linked to a blockchain—could ensure soldiers receive pay and allowances reliably, even in austere environments.

• Benefits:

• Immediate and Secure Access: Soldiers in remote postings receive pay directly to digital wallets, which can be converted into local currency as needed.

• Reduced Dependency on Vulnerable Financial Channels: Minimizes reliance on local banking infrastructure or the risks associated with transporting physical cash in combat zones.

4. Black Box for Cyber and Signal Intelligence:

The military increasingly relies on data—ranging from battlefield sensor feeds to encrypted communications. Storing critical logs and access records on a secure blockchain could create a verifiable audit trail of who accessed which intelligence, when, and from where.

• Benefits:

• Data Integrity: Once recorded, intelligence logs cannot be altered without detection.

• Cyber Forensics: Investigators can pinpoint breaches, unauthorized data alterations, or suspicious activity with cryptographic certainty.

5. Sanctions and Denial-of-Resource Operations:

On the flip side, understanding how adversaries might leverage cryptocurrencies is critical. Military strategists could use blockchain analytics to trace hostile financing networks, identifying patterns in bitcoin transactions that might indicate procurement of weapons or financing of covert cells.

• Benefits:

• Early Warning System: Spotting irregular financial flows on open ledgers can provide intelligence leads.

• Targeted Interventions: If certain addresses or wallets associated with adversaries are identified, they can be flagged and monitored or used in shaping cyber/information warfare strategies.

6. Resilience in Conflict Scenarios:

Conventional banking infrastructure can be disrupted by enemy action, natural disasters, or cyberattacks. A decentralized blockchain network—if properly implemented and maintained across multiple secure nodes—could provide a resilient backbone for financial and logistics operations even if traditional communication lines fail.

• Benefits:

• Survivability of Networks: Distributed data storage ensures that no single point of failure can disable the entire financial/logistics apparatus.

• Fallback Resource: Even in near-peer conflicts or contested environments, critical financial and supply chain records remain intact.

Challenges and Considerations:

• Security and Encryption: Military-grade cybersecurity would need to harden these blockchain systems against adversarial attacks.

• Interoperability with Legacy Systems: Integrating new blockchain frameworks into existing logistics, payroll, and procurement systems is non-trivial.

• Governance and Policy: Clear rules must govern how digital tokens are issued, managed, and audited within a military context.

• Scalability and Complexity: Military operations are vast and intricate. Ensuring that blockchain solutions scale effectively and do not overly complicate routine processes is key.

Conclusion:

“Bitcoin for the military” is not a direct one-to-one adoption of public cryptocurrencies, but rather a strategic application of distributed ledger technologies to enhance the security, auditability, transparency, and resilience of military operations. By carefully designing private, permissioned blockchains or secure cryptographic token ecosystems, militaries can modernize logistics, improve financial coordination, enhance data integrity, and better protect their strategic interests in an increasingly digital and contested world.

”Still to much blue on SaylorTracker.com”

Wow all time, up 71.42%— $58,000 dollar cost average for 1 BTC,,, up $16,762,641,361? Up $16B???

Net asset value, 2.2x— NAV premium, premium to net asset value, 214.59m shares @ $187.60, MSTR at $395 a share stock.

Also impressed at all the buys at BTC, from $60k down to $20k, down to around $16k, then around $28k, $30k, $70k, $88k, now around $98k—

Total 402,100 bitcoins ,,, almost half a nakamoto soon!!

What’s also interesting when you’re a share holder of MSTR, you feel like almost you metaphorically own all that bitcoin? You feel like a true share holder and a part of that power?

Don’t be a nazi

Become Yourself

We the new Rockefellers!

---

ROC nation!

So I guess Jay Z was really onto something; numbers don’t lie check the scoreboard! And also thinking about building his own Rockefeller ROCAFELLER Rocawear brand. I’m also sure that Michael Saylor is the new Rockefeller for this century and beyond. 

Oil

Oil standard oil. Rockerfeller is stupid rich, became stupid dumb rich because he bought up all the oil, oil companies, oil refineries etc., consolidated them all under his own company, even at Brown University in Providence, the main library is called “The Rock”, named after Rockefeller I think either donated the money to build the library or something?

Capital > Money

Anyways, what is more important than money? Capital.

I think what a lot of people don’t understand is the logic of capital. A lot of people get stuck in this whole money idea, like fiat currency.

So for example, I’ve essentially made a small fortune already on bitcoin and microstrategy stock, MSTR, bitcoin and the like, and I’m not really gonna be shocked when my net worth hits $100M, $250M, maybe even $1.1 billion in my lifetime.

But still most likely, I’m going to drive the same old Prius, maybe I’ll matte black it, I actually had a vision of Matt like it kind of making it look like a BMW M3 in the front, with the bright yellow headlights. Like imagine the Prius, competition edition.

Anyways, rappers are dead, we new BITCOINERS, we the new rockstars!

Why?

So once again, it feels like the early days of the Internet. Do you remember the early days of AOL, AWOL 3.0, when they would mail you these free CDs with like 1000 hours of free Internet? And the mad scramble for the Internet, like Alta Vista net zero, yahoo and the like.

The Google of internet capital

My personal thought is do you remember when Google first emerged, and everyone was a bit confused by it, a little Rinky dinky search engine with nothing but the Google logo, a small search box in engine? And suddenly it takes over the planet?

What I find very very bizarre is all these Google employees… They should get it… Why aren’t they buying bitcoin?

What is hilarious is that innovation that got Google to where it is today… The paradox of the innovators dilemma; Google is like the new Microsoft, no more innovation here. Rather, a mad scramble to inject advertisements into every single part of your existence. Even for example, I’m starting to really hate Google and YouTube; Too many advertisements, too much spam, I hate Google. 

In fact I have not used Google search for almost like six months, I just use ChatGPT now, ChatGPT search. ChatGPT is a bit problematic too, but not as bad as Google.

The bitcoin imperative

So once again, if you discovered clean fresh water, and everybody else is drinking sewer water, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to tell your friends your family everybody you know about clean water? And to get them to stop drinking sewer water? Obviously! But what if you’ll hurt their feelings or make them feel uncomfortable? Well I guess you don’t really care about them, you could let them just die of dysentery.

The new Oregon Trail

So once again, everyone is on this Oregon Trail video game, and sooner or later everyone dies of dysentery. And I still will never forget playing Oregon Trail in computer class in Bayside Queens, PS 169, and spending all my money on bullets to just shoot the auction in the squirrels, only need to die of dysentery.

Anyways, I think we’re almost living our new modern day version of the Oregon Trail, and we are starting to get distracted by things like media the Internet social media iPhones etc.… We are all slowly dying of metaphorical dysentery.

In the Oregon Trail, you have the option to purchase medicine. But medicine seems a bit boring to buy when you could buy bullets instead!

But once again in the video game, when you least expected in your troop gets sick, and you no longer have any money because you spent it all on blitz… Who are you going to blame?

Of course it is a video game, real life is different. But everything is often just a metaphor for real life.

4+ years in the game

So technically I’ve been in the bitcoin game since 2017, 2018. When I was living off the grid in Vietnam, in Saigon, I still remember going to my favorite coffee shop, reading zero hedge, and learning about bitcoin, and I still remember the guy who said that he was so certain that bitcoin was gonna go from $300 a bitcoin to 600 bitcoin to 1000 bitcoin, and if he was wrong he would eat his balls live on television.

I first learned about fiat currency then, when I had more time to think and consider and just philosophize about money. I sent you learned that all money was fake, but at the time I did not yet have a strong need or urge or reason to buy bitcoin then because I was already retired at the age of 26, 28. Living for rent was only $320 a month in Vietnam, essentially I knew and learned that I would never run out of money.

Anyways, fast-forward a bit, now living in LA, obviously the cost of living is far higher. So more recently I kind of had more of a need to know and learn.

if you don’t need it you won’t act

 Most people who are financially already doing well and comfortable, they don’t really have a need to know. For example if you already have a bunch of Tesla stock, real estate or whatever… Then the truth is you don’t really have a strong need to know about bitcoin. Because you don’t really need it in the sense that you’re probably gonna be just fine with your traditional stocks, your Tesla stock your Nvidia stock your real estate whatever.

I think a lot of people are starting to wake up now, especially millennials, Gen Z, and “zillenials” (Soren Zhane told me)

 anyways, I don’t know a single human being on the planet who does not seek some sort of financial independence and or security. Certainly everyone has a different reason but the general guiding principle is that everybody wants freedom for one reason or another. For example, some people just don’t want to work no more, which is 100% almost everybody?

I don’t know any single tech worker who actually wants to be there; there are simply stuck because they are stuck into some sort of stock option plan, or because they have an expensive mortgage, or because they got like their four children in private school whatever.

Or it seems that a lot of people in my friends that I know or around my age born in 1988, plus or minus 4 years, like people who are either 32, 34, 36, 40, 42 years old… Once again, everyone wants independent and wants to retire right now! And it seems that everyone’s plan is trying to securitize some sort of  fixed income strategy, like let us say that your living expenses are like seven to $8000 a month, to have some sort of “passive income“, just sustain your cost-of-living. 

So in terms of fixed income strategies, I think it’s actually super simple, just leverage microstrategy stock! The mantra is don’t sell your bitcoin, but, it is 100% fine to sell your microstrategy stock!

So let us say that you have $1 million of stock, or cash or whatever… It is super super simple: just put 100% at that micro strategy style, and once, every month, end of month, when it is time to pay your rent or whatever, just sell a small portion to pay your rent, if it’s like $3200 a month or something. And then, you just ride the gains forever, and essentially your microstrategy stock will be the cash cow for the rest of your life. 

Why don’t people like simple solutions?

I think somebody is trying to sell you some sort of complicated product. Like all these fake ass money investors, none of which or whom we’re actually successful, they will sell you some sort of strange financial product which is mixed between a bunch of these other fake investments, Stocks bonds ETF’s whatever, and actually… My funny thought is there might be some sort of inherent dangers in diversification. 

For example, let us say that you have cash money. Do you diversify your cash holdings from US dollars to the Nigerian currency, to the Venezuela currency, to North Korean currency, to the Japanese yen, to the Korean Won, to the Boliviar, the British pound, to the Lebanese lira, etc.?

Or, if you’re building a skyscraper, do you diversify the steel into balsa wood and copper? 

Or, let us say that you have a smart phone, most smart people that I know will just own the iPhone, you want to diversify by owning an android phone, a Huawei phone, a Samsung phone, and the like.

Why bitcoin makes sense for Americans

Once again, at this point if you’re an American, almost universally 100% of Americans own an iPhone, even at this point poor people they all own an iPhone Pro.

So the reason why bitcoin makes sense is that my general sense is that bitcoin is like all American. And certainly the ethos behind bitcoin, a lot of the early cyber hackers, California tech utopists, Hal Finney etc, certainly there is kind of like the cyberpunk, Blade Runner, ghost in the shell vibes here… The early days of bitcoin and crypto is certainly kind of like tech anarchists,,, nobody likes the banks. I don’t even think the bankers like the banks!

Nobody is evil

So there’s all these weird theories conspiracy theories whatever, but all these super evil people running the world etc. but this is false. Everybody is too stupid to run the world and be evil.

For example, no no no it is not George Soros, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton Bill Gates trying to put 5G chips inside your brain, to sell you vegan meat. No or is it the Jewish conspiracy theory about the media Israel whatever. Everyone is inept. 

Even Kim Jang Hoon, who is like what, 300 pounds at like 5 foot four, maybe 80% body fat, borderline about to have a heart attack, still hooked on like thousands of bottles of fine foreign whiskey, as well as having a glass full of like 1000 armored Maybach cars?

Media has no face

I’m kind of starting to read the principles of economics by Saifedean, and one of the useful ideas is that everyone is like an individual agent, and moves in the best of his or her interest. Everyone is rational in this sense; even people that you think are irrational, rather than trying to seek how they are so dumb compared to you, I think it is actually much more compassionate and wise to try to seek to understand why they think we act this way. Seeking understanding, seeking to understand them is more interesting and important than trying to change them to thinking and become you.

“How dare you not be me!”

In fact in the world where we’re trying to seek distinction, isn’t the actual goal to not to want other people to be like you?

Also funny thought is that everyone is seeking some sort of superiority, but once again, we’re all buying into the same standard media narratives?

Unplug yourself

all media is bad, and yes this involves Twitter, X, and the Joe Rogan podcast.

I think the difficult thing here is that everybody is kind of correct, but at the same time, everyone is a bit strange and bizarre.

the matrix

So where I think that the matrix is really really insanely great film is that it is all about reality, fake reality and the metaphor in between.

And this is actually a funny thing that I learned; the truth and reality is not really the goal.

For example, I think Joe Rogan has uncovered how politics really works, and it is very dirty, and very strange and bizarre. For example I’m recently listening to some of the Marc Andreesen and Joe Rogan podcast in the whole idea of debanking, when Kanye said it everyone thought he was crazy, but when Marc Andreesen says it, everyone listens. 

Anyways, the truth is a bit distracting. And yeah yeah yeah let us say that there are aliens or extraterrestrial beings or whatever… Even if that were true I don’t think it really matters. To me matters more is like our health our physiology our minds, our philosophies, our families, our spouses and kids, our future etc.

The next big big big big thing is already here, it is bitcoin.

 so I room is waiting for the next iPhone the next new Tesla car or whatever, the next hugely innovative product which will totally change and transform our lies. Yet don’t people understand that it is already here, that it has already been here for a minute, bitcoin!

I think the reason why bitcoin is hard to understand, even for us take forward millennials is that it is not a tangible product like having a self driving car or a cyber truck etc. Or like having the newest iPhone Pro.

Certainly there is a human bias for tangible things tools and assets, yet I think in reality, a better way to think about it is towards intangibles.

For example, even modern day banking and money it is all already intangible. For example the US dollars in your bank account, ones and zeros, it is already technically all cyber and digital. Even the modern day banking swift system, it is kind of all predicated on computers and data.

For example what is the true hard money out there? It is capital, like capital and real estate, stocks, the S&P index etc., yet what is it backed by? Gold? No. we got off the gold standard a very long time ago. It is based more on mutual understanding trust and the like.

Even the markets, the markets are a beast, an ultra mega beast, nobody can understand it, but yet we all seek it and strive to understand it.

Forever gains

Once again if we think about digital metaphors digital analogies etc., this is very useful because in a physic space perspective, nothing can grow forever. For example, no man despite all of the steroids on the planet could be become a 900 pound muscular man with a six pack.

Also, we could build maybe a 200 story skyscraper, but probably not 100,000 story skyscraper. Not even with all the steel on the planet.

Yet with bitcoin, cyber real estate, cyber capital, this changes the game.

 for example, I live next to one of the main campuses in Culver City, 8777 Washington. They bought out this huge pit, and they are building a mega campus for Apple TV there, and they have been working on it for like over a year already. They have made very good progress but still… If you’re dealing in the realm of physics, even if they suddenly injected $1 trillion into it, you cannot build it overnight. Even if you took all the capital on the planet to build up that plot of land, it would probably take at least maybe, a few months at best.

But with bitcoin and cyber real estate and digital capital, you can!

For example, with bitcoin you could build $1 billion digital skyscraper in an hour or a day. Even the best skyscraper in the physical realm might take five years.

Accelerating the cycle

So the free money hack I’ve discovered is quite simple: buy and hold micro strategy MSTR stock, write it up, and when it is up, sell some stock, and funnel that money back into bitcoin.

I call it like double profits, double profit double dipping.

Kind of insane, I’ve seen and taken an initial investment around $300,000 and turned it into close to around $900,000. In the strategy was simple, just 100% putting everything into micro strategy MSTR stock. It’s insane it’s like almost a 3X gain, in a matter of about 3 to 4 months? This is absolutely unheard of. It even outperformed bitcoin by like 3X!

Optimism for the next four years

So my personal heartache is that the next four years, assuming that you’re on the bitcoin standard, 2025 to 2029 will be the most glorious four years of all time. In fact, I believe this could only be the last Trump presidency, but I’m quite sure that the bitcoin act will pass, ERIC will probably purchase at least 1 million bitcoins, ideally more, And America will continue her global monetary and capital dominance.

Already, you’re seeing everyone else shudder and quake in fear. Russia and Putin, they are scared, in mainland China I’m sure they’re also scared.

What this means for you

So super super simple, just put 100% of your wealth and your capital in either or bitcoin and micro strategy stock.

What’s the difference? Bitcoin is technically the risk free option. And it is also less volatile.

Micro strategy style, MSTR is higher performance but also higher yield.

Personally, I think the ultimate game is to stack as many bitcoins during this lifetime to pass down to your kids kids kids. And to me ultimately bitcoin is more important than micro strategies. Because bitcoin is the backbone and the underlying asset which power is everything, including micro strategy.

For example, bitcoin can exist without microstrategy, microstrategy cannot exist without bitcoin.

The #1 company on the planet 

Michael sailor did it, micro strategy that owns over 400,000 bitcoin, they’re gonna hit 500,000 bitcoins, and soon they’re going to get the mythical Nakamoto, which is the mythical 1 million bitcoins and beyond. I would not be surprised if within our lifetime we see micro strategy obtain at least 2, 3, 4, or 5 million bitcoins. And we will see micro strategy become the number one dominant company on the planet, at least during this lifetime. And you see Michael sailor become the richest man on the planet, at least 10 times richer than Elon Musk.

What does this mean to you? Assuming you put yourself your family on the bitcoin standard, you’re going to be dumb rich, forever.

Sell the second car, sell the house, sell everything and buy the bitcoin.
