Please share with the normies and fiat maxis in your life, and let me hear your thoughts! I love chatting with anyone who’s mind is open to the idea that we are each responsible to break our personal stake to the corrupted fiat matrix.

Just joined the Peony Lane Wine club after trying the Pinot last night. If you haven't had the chance to taste it yet or have been putting it off buying your first bottle, consider increasing your time preference just this once. Cheers
Peony Lane is a must for any bitcoiner who enjoys great wine. https://blossom.primal.net/90f710521f6337069a09564903325e765629a7c8ff025589dee7563c1e8a9141.png

Iran unsubscribing from the petrodollar and seeking to charge a BTC toll to pass through the straight is hella ballsy (see Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi). That said, LFG!!
At $72,000 per $BTC, each ship = 27.7 BTC. On average, ~130 ships crossed daily.
• Daily: 3,611 BTC • Monthly: 108,333 BTC • Yearly: 1.3 million BTC
The entire Bitcoin network only mines 450 BTC per day. Iran would be positioned to accumulate 8x the net new mining supply.
Every nation state will eventually find their way here…beyond the death of the petrodollar, Panama Canal next?
After all, why would countries use currency that a geopolitical foe can inflate away when there is a trustless alternative that encourages global cooperation.
Supply shock is imminent, there simply isn’t enough Bitcoin to go around once the world’s participants (nations, companies, and individuals) realize how much they need it 😏

There’s more than enough content out there for anyone exhibiting even a little intellectual curiosity to educate themselves about why the world needs Bitcoin, yet otherwise intelligence people are still missing it. Here’s hoping that pointing out why Bitcoin Isn’t For You will help break some cognitive dissonance.

Calling all Bitcoiners: Please share the BIFY (Bitcoin Isn't For You) series with your no-coiner friends and family. After spending years orange pilling the hard way, I've realized that perhaps the best way to get a message across is to call out the absurdity of humans being led to water, yet refusing to drink. Many more articles, blogs, and videos to follow!

I’ve begun writing/recording for my BIFY series - Bitcoin Isn't For You
“If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have the time to try to convince you, sorry.”
Throughout my Bitcoin journey, I never related to Satoshi's perspective in this quote. I encouraged normies and tradfi maxi discourse. I enjoyed the debate, I successfully orange pilled many. I wanted to spread awareness about why having a sound store of value does more than grow wealth and sovereignty than simply through "number go up." I hoped that others would see why Bitcoin encourages the deflationary impacts of technology, kills the incentives of elites to wage war on the backs (and lives) of the masses, and promotes work and rules vs loyalty to rulers.
But lately something has shifted within me. It's not that I no longer care, I'm just exhausted by the cognitive dissonance of those who are utterly captured by the fiat matrix. It's for this reason that I've started to write and record content for my "Bitcoin isn't for you" series. My intention is to capture all the reason why many deserve a life of indentured servitude in the fiat matrix as opposed to the sovereignty made possible by unsubscribing from it.
Not because I wish an escalating Orwellian dystopian future upon anyone, but because a horse that is dying of dehydration while staring at a full trough deserves to be called out for being responsible for its inevitable demise.
I’m hoping some humor and sarcasm that’s easily shareable in bite sized portions might help get the point across to the masses 🙏🏼

Each of us has two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one.
Everyone should confront this as early and often in their journey as possible. The absolute scarcity of our time can be a scary concept for many, but scarcity drives beauty, appreciation, and value.
How will you make the most of whatever you have left?

For treason or unprovoked deadly assault or murder: public hangings. What are we even doing as a society? Without proof of work as a defense mechanism, bad actors will keep acting bad.

Bitcoin is not digital Gold.
The comparison makes for an easy mental linkage but is far from accurate.
Absolute finiteness vs relative scarcity, sovereignty vs third party risk, and infinite divisibility and portability vs neither, just to name a few.

Feels like the book is done, now for the revisions through final copy edit process. Starting to get some content out ahead of publishing and would love feedback from the community www.breakthestake.com
To everyone melting down about Trump’s EO establishing a shitcoin stockpile. Do yourself and everyone a favor and lower your time preference like you preach to others. An EO is as flimsy as centralized shitcoins and can be overturned by the next administration, ie third party counter risk. What we need is Senator Lummis’ legislation to pass. The resulting law will be the proof of work we need to codify a Bitcoin Strategic reserve.
In the meantime, stop acting like a psycho ex. Bitcoin doesn’t care and neither should you. Just stack sats while you can still get them at pre nation state game theory prices 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

Goodbye war on Bitcoin (and fascism, moochers, and The Ministry of Truth). Hello strategic Bitcoin Reserve and eventual hyperbitcoinization 👋🏼

Hopefully Bitcoiners can stop acting like a pysho ex now that the leader of the free world held up his commitment in the 30th hr of his presidency 🤦🏼♂️ it’s as though he didn’t have a few other going on throughout the first full day on the job or something 🤷🏼♂️
For Bitcoiners to allegedly be the “low time preference” group, the first 24 hrs of Trump’s presidency have illustrated many are anything but that. And while many of us realize that Bitcoin fixes much of the upside down fiat clown matrix, that doesn’t mean all of the initial actions of an incoming president will involve Bitcoin just because he came and spoke in Nashville. It was evident then that he doesn’t truly understand Bitcoin. And Bitcoin doesn’t care anyway, tick tock next block…
Bitcoin doesn’t care if Trump mentioned it during his inauguration speech or not, and we shouldn’t either. Nation State strategic reserve incoming, game theory imminent, hyperbitcoinization inevitable.

The political left, politicians and normies alike, cackle about the threat of fascism, meanwhile their leadership has attempted to lock up their political opponents for the past decade, only to pardon themselves, they families and allies, making it impossible to hold any of them accountable for treason and wrongdoing.

The rise of Bitcoin based lending is going to accelerate supply shock. Historically people sold BTC in order to free up capital, causing increased supply and a taxable event. Now HODLers can avoid taxes, extract value from their stack as needed, all without introducing sell side volume. Couple this w strategic reserves, corporate treasuries, and sovereign funds looking for BTC exposure to replace govt bond exposure…we are going to Mars 🚀🤯

It is unreal how many normies are blissfully unaware of this, let alone the fact that well over 30% of December US Govt inflows went to service the debt. Things are about to get real wild…

It’s mind blowing how much of our lives are controlled by the money printers. We need to Break the Stake and save our souls from the matrix. I’ll be writing that book in 2025, plus working to get at least a few videos out on the subject to help spread the message. #breakthestake

Thankful this Christmas for my laser eyed family, it’s amazing when any of my ladies asked if we bought the dip 🤣
Finally getting past being bummed I didn’t get into BTC earlier, but I got it at the price I deserved when I started going full maxi the past few years.
I appreciate all of you on Nostr, the shift in the energy feels amazing and can’t wait to see what the future holds!!

Hey Nostriches! While I’ve been here a while, it struck me that I’ve never made my #introductions
I’m Jake Galt, husband, father to two little Bitcoiners, and serial entrepreneur (most recently starting Gradually Then Suddenly (GTS) Oil and Gas fund), and aspiring writer (Break the Stake is my initial attempt at a book, still working on it). Cheers everyone and nice to meet you all!

#nostr came just in time, what a wild time to be alive. We are now the ghosts in the machine
Once upon a time Americans started a revolution over 2% tax on tea. Today we are perpetually raped for an order of magnitude more than that to fund wars nobody wants (other than the military industrial complex) and countless other govt money laundering schemes. #unsustainable
This is awesome 🤣

Any truth to the reports that Binance has seized all Palestinian assets at Israel's request? Self custody and being un-cancellable will only become more important as the world continues to veer further into a dystopian nightmare. #MakeOrwellFictionAgain #NotYourKeysNotYourCoins

Make America Healthy Again. Who knew that having your own chickens, growing your own vegetables, and sourcing beef locally would be so counterculture in my lifetime. They are killing us w the ”food” and “medicine,” wake up

Only few would’ve had the foresight that Satoshi did in walking away from something as powerful as bitcoin…although the authorities’ treatment of previous cypherpunks was a decent indicator. In 2024, given the arrest of Pavel and the creep of authoritarianism these past few years, creatives and entrepreneurs need to think long and hard about putting their energy into something centralized where they are the figurehead. #growNostr #freePavel
Team Red vs Blue, two wings of the same bird. Nothing but theater, same as reds vs blues in soccer and other sport. When it comes to politics, the theater just comes w both printing bagillions of USD to fund their profiting on wars and for the corporate overlords. #bitcoin fixes this.
