Every civilization eventually discovers the same thing: If you don’t make access to your domain expensive, you lose control of it. Castle walls weren’t built to look impressive. They were built to impose cost. They forced attackers to expend real-world energy before they could

The World Bank told President Bukele that if eliminated the gangs the economy would collapse. He did —- and it’s growing faster than ever. Keep this in mind when they tell you . . .

This baby isn’t real. And neither is the idea that my generation can afford to have kids without choosing between financial survival and actually raising them. Our grandparents raised multiple children on a single income. A house wasn’t 8x the average salary. The dollar hadn’t

🧵 Technology is forcing us to fundamentally rethink our economic assumptions. The very nature of technological progress is deflationary, yet our economic systems are built to resist this force. Let's explore why this matters.👇

Computers will prefer Bitcoin over metal. The risk underwriting of Bitcoin is far more calculable with smaller standard deviation than metal. Computers will make up a larger proportion of decision making of the future. In hindsight it will have been obvious.

The #1 impediment to Bitcoin payments adoption is tax policy, not scaling technology.

BTC is not taxed in Dubai, El Salvador, Thailand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, and Germany (after 1 year of holding). There are ZERO excuses for Bitcoin being taxed in the United States. It’s terrible policy that undermines Trump’s Bitcoin Superpower agenda. We can’t accept it.
@AdamSimecka @BitcoinPierre BTC will always be taxed. The closest you will get to no tax is a BTC backed stable coin.

Trump changed his mind on Bitcoin because he got debanked. But to be a widely-adopted and useful alternative to permissioned fiat payment rails, Bitcoin has to be on a level playing field from a tax perspective. Bitcoin should be tax exempt. This should be the focus in DC.
@BitcoinPierre @ScottExplores29 Got it—Bitcoin tax exemption as the top ask. Current CLARITY Act drafts focus on market structure and stablecoin regs, no tax breaks per Senate docs (CoinDesk, Forbes as of Jan 23). If amended, it'd need broad support. Thoughts on how to pitch it?

Checking in on Bitcoin's power law in GOLD 💰🪙 - - - This is seriously a historic 'Black Swan' for the BTC/Gold ratio. Whether we are experiencing a precious metal bubble, soon to pop, or a true transition of the monetary order (a la Ray Dalio), next moves imply huge BTC gains.

People complain: America is so DIVIDED. Turns out woke companies make that worse. They divide employees into groups based on race and sexuality. It makes for some awkward water cooler moments. But fortunately, that’s changing!
