Okay, so this is my analysis of the situation.
Many of the ultra rich feel like:
1. They missed out on the very early days of crypto.
2. They are threatened by it displacing legacy systems.
These are people who are used to having insider access, preferential treatment, etc.

A 9-5 job is an industrial age idea.
We're returning to a world where man works for himself, and lives or dies by the quality and merit of the products & services he offers.
This has been the norm throughout most of history.
The only difference now is technological leverage.
Never, I repeat NEVER
Get trapped in false dichotomies
Like Chad vs Nerd
Hot Dumb / Ugly Smart
Material vs Spiritual
Introvert vs Extrovert
Left vs Right
You become the most powerful when you combine the winning aspects of both
Gentlemen, it’s really simple:
If your girl cheats on you, for *ANY* reason (should never happen!)
You leave her instantly.
This is one area in life where there is zero nuance.
Watching this I'm immediately struck by 3 things.
1: Men like this built the world, guys in offices merely planned it.
2: People who rail on masculinity have zero concept of what keeps the world running.
3: This job easily requires equal technical skills & know-how to tech job.

All Hollywood actresses are mid. Only a mid would allow Weinstein to molest them in return for a career. All real hotties are on private yachts or retail cashiers in small town stores no ones heard of.
Sex with lots of random women does not = being "successful" with women
Being able to pick the women YOU want, having her/them absolutely, dedicatedly, in love with you, and genuinely like who you are, does
Hollow, superficial, fake love = Failure
Big distinction few understand
Don't take shit too seriously
It's all a grand ridiculous game where we die at the end anyway.
But at the same time... Have a strong sense of urgency.
Life is short & if you wait around you'll miss it.
Over the next few years there will be numerous repeat efforts to crash crypto markets.
These will be coordinated, and institutions + wealthy people will buy enormous amounts on the dips.
We just saw one of these happen.
Overall I believe crypto & the digital age will play out oddly similar to the industrial revolution.
It will create a TON of wealth for a lot of people & generally improve society.
It won’t fundamentally change human nature or civilisation.
And, ownership will be everything.
This parasitic regulation will be sold to the masses with narratives such as:
“Fighting crime”
“Anti money laundering”
“Preventing tax avoidance”
“Making it safer for investors”
“Fairness”
And so on...
POWER.
There are 3 forms of power:
1. Wealth - Control over scarce and valuable resources.
2. Influence - Control over information, narratives & opinions.
3. Might - Control over violence, punishment and consequences.
Life is only about 700,000 hours long. Next time you want to spend 8 hours watching Game of Thrones or playing Overwatch remember that. Expensive choice.
People still haven’t figured out.
The US empire is over.
• Can no longer project military power worldwide.
• Strategically outclassed by Russia and China
• Economically outclassed by China
• Collapsing currency and economy
• Politically in turmoil and utterly corrupt.
Prediction 4.
You will see a LOT of propaganda pushing for Proof Of Stake over Proof Of Work.
Why?
Because they want control.
With PoW this is extraordinarily difficult.
With PoS it is easy once they hold the majority % of the coins.
Especially governance tokens.
Yet a bunch of zoomer degens with anime avatars & random peasants beat them to it.
This makes some of them furious - because they didn’t get invited in for pre-sales etc!
They are also threatened by the amount of new wealth being created amongst the masses.

@ProVitaFamiglia
Yes they’ve done this multiple times and even brought police in to prevent parents flying their kids abroad for better care. Anything to uphold the public lie that the NHS (socialised healthcare) is “good” and not an utter failure.
In the 13th century a group of catholic monks invented a way to write any number up to 9,999 using only 1 symbol. Up to 99,999,999 with 2.
Yet we use giant strings of 000s and commas.
This goes to show, the “best” doesn’t win - the most known about (most well marketed) does.

@alx
They tried the same thing with Fox News when Tucker got too spicy. They also use similar practices against smaller businesses to cause them to lose banking services, payment processors, etc. They are a criminal enterprise that engages in extortion & slander for political motives.
Many of them now recognise that:
• Crypto is not going away, they cannot destroy it.
• They do not have enough control, and they want it.
• It can actually be used to serve their ends.
As such, they are now going to accumulate as many coins as possible.
@SolBrah
When they said “masturbating makes you blind”, they didn’t mean your eyes.
They meant a spiritual and mental blindness to the beauty, wonder and possibilities of the world.
A few years ago I used to have a dope apartment in the UK on a well known street nearby John Lewis, a popular department store.
Almost every day I'd walk past this store to go for breakfast, and I'd see a guy sitting outside selling wishes for £1 a go.
One day I asked him...
You will see market manipulation with huge buy ups from institutions.
People trading with leverage will be wrecked, repeatedly & brutally.
Their coins will end up in the manipulators hands.
Narratives about energy consumption, e-waste, etc will be used to push PoS.
When PoS is implemented & institutions own the biggest % then guess what?
They have ‘centralised’ decentralisation in the hands of the few.
Some of the most valuable self-skills I've learned through getting my shit together:
1) Frame Control - Anything can be positive. The sinking of the titanic was a miracle for the lobsters in the kitchen. Choose which perspective you use to approach life.

For less than 1/2 the cost of college, you could buy the top 5 textbooks on any subject, learn everything in them, then hire 3 top experts in that field to coach you & fill in your knowledge gaps. Mastery in <9 months. But nobody will do this, because its not easy or normal.
Never post your kids on social media.
You are inviting unnecessary curses through lax personal security, and...
The rarest luxury of the future will be reaching adulthood with no trace of your visage or thoughts appearing on the internet
Give your heirs the gift of anonymity
The average income a student makes after graduation is at an all time low.
The average cost of college tuition is at an all time high.
And the service you get is next to worthless with covid nonsense.
College is dead, the masses just don’t know it yet.
Think about it.
What does this achieve? I’m glad you you ask.
This is how you get the masses to voluntarily adopt a cashless society, without resistance, via incentives.
Gov Coins + KyC addresses + PoS = Fully traceable, taxable, siezeable, controllable, cashless society.
GG. However...
Prediction 2.
Government will be used to strong arm & scam retail in order to advantage institutions & prevent retail from creating serious wealth.
There will be taxes, coin seizures, and numerous regulations that inhibit retail from profiting & gatekeep on/off ramps.
People today really ask “Why do you want kids?”
YOUR PRIMARY BIOLOGICAL PURPOSE AS A MAMMALIAN ORGANISM IS TO CONTINUE YOUR BLOODLINE, IF YOU DON’T WANT KIDS YOU’RE A GENETIC FAILURE AND YOUR ANCESTRAL LEGACY SHALL CEASE TO EXIST
Logan Paul made an insightful comment recently:
“Burnout” = Exhaustion from behaving inauthentically
Can’t get burnt out when you’re doing what you love & being true to yourself - that’s just enjoying life.
Think about it. 🥂😄
Few.
Over time institutions & the wealthy will aim to hold a significant majority of coins on every major protocol.
Like they own the majority of stocks. In fact, many of the biggest addresses in crypto are already institutional.
However, they do not want to pay ‘full price’, they already feel cheated for not getting early & they are not stupid. Plus, they are a little resentful.
So, here’s prediction 1. 👇
Humans, especially men, don't operate well without a mission
You need to have a goal, a vision, or a mission to work towards
This is SO important, that if you do not have one I would suggest focusing on nothing else until you do
Figure out what you want from life!
Some people will become sovereign, wealthy, individuals.
Others who are part of the current “elite” will succeed at maintaining their power.
And many, many, others will become pod living, bug eating, own nothing, slaves.
(Harsh reality: Most people will not be rich).
@SolBrah
100 years from now we are going to look back on packaging everything in plastic the same way we now look back on lead pipes, asbestos, and radioactive childrens toys.
This is hugely beneficial because they know people hate banks.
What better solution than to have a system where there is no bank or authority to point a finger at and say “They are the problem!”
You simply say “It’s not my fault, it’s decentralised.”
And keep control anyway.
Prediction 3.
If you have coins on exchanges, especially KyC ones, you need to seriously consider this.
They will tie names to wallet addresses & all the sovereignty of crypto will disappear...
Unless you are smart & anon.
(a.k.a “why I do not own any crypto but love monero”)
If you want EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS you have to be ABNORMAL.
Normal = Mediocrity
You HAVE to be willing to be considered weird, crazy, unusual, etc!
The difference between 'crazy fool' and 'eccentric genius' is just the number of commas in your bank account.
School has never and will never teach you how to be successful.
School exists to ensure people are trained to fill the necessary & important roles in society; e.g civil engineers, nurses, supply chain managers, etc.
Success is a self selected, self determined outcome.
Prediction 5.
You will see the roll out of Gov Coins, and crypto receiving ever more mainstream media exposure (often with ‘rags to riches’ stories)
These are not a sign that “crypto is winning”
These are designed to persuade the masses into adoption (with KyC of course)
This of course will not affect:
1. The wealthy & their institutions
2. Cunning anons who hodl’d from early/now on.
And who didn’t run their mouth about it or flex on the TL.
You wake up in the morning:
• Are you alive? Yes.
• Are you healthy? Yes.
• Do you have enough energy to work on your goals? Yes.
Good, then be “happy”. 🌞🥂
If you were at a Casino and the tables closed as soon as the house started losing money, you would know it was set up to be a scam. 🎲
This tweet is not about casinos.
While some of the dumbest people on the planet are rich.
Because they found a good strategy, took action, and were too stupid to worry about the consequences.
They just had work ethic and were committed to success.
If you're dedicated enough, that's really all it takes.

@rustyrockets
What happened to rule of law, due process, and the burden of evidence?
Western countries clearly threw all that out at the same time our leadership was subverted.
A Man's journey & a Woman's journey look very different.
A Woman is born with power & value by virtue of her biology. She must strive to be virtuous with that power.
A Man is born virtuous but powerless. He must fight to acquire power & value without becoming corrupt.

Since Elon Musk released twitter’s algorithm we can now see the exact things that boost & restrict post delivery!
Smash that like button & I’ll give you a rundown bellow.
“I didn’t do well in school”
Neither did I, who gives a shit? 🤷♂️
Why would a piece of paper signed by some teacher or professor who makes $36K a year have any bearing on your ability to make money?
It’s asinine & irrelevant.
In 50-100 years we are going to look back on packaging everything in plastic the same way we now look back on drinking from lead cups & using mercury to treat illnesses.
How to be good at life:
- Be Proactive
- Take Responsibility
- Study your betters
- Encourage excellence
- Have high standards
How to be bad at life:
- Be Reactive
- Blame others
- Criticize your betters
- Discourage excellence
- Have low standards
There are only 3 ways to grow ANY business.
1: Get more customers to make purchases.
2: Get each customer to spend more at checkout.
3: Get each customer to return & buy repeatedly.
If what you're focused on doesn't lead to 1 of these 3 outcomes, your business will not grow.
There’s something wrong about plastering a giant samsung ad on the front of a 1,000 year old cathedral and architectural marvel... and I say that as an ad man.
How a man SHOULD deal with emotions:
- Experience (experience them fully, do not become emotionally cut off)
- Process (resist instinct to 'react', process them logically)
- Manage (employ state control, remain calm & calculated)
- Use (leverage them as fuel to drive action)
If you get good at just about anything useful, you’ll end up a millionaire.
Most people are simply terrible at life & never develop skills to a top level.
It used to say in my bio that I have a genius level IQ (99.9th percentile Stanford-Binet 5) but I removed it because it basically has no correlation to results.
Action & work ethic matter more than IQ.
Plenty of high IQ people are broke because they did nothing with it.
In the end, I don’t know what will happen & I can’t tell the future.
This is simply my analysis of what I think are the obvious plays against crypto from the “elite” and the kind of outcomes they will be looking for.
Will they succeed? That depends.
I think we’ll see a mix...
The imperial age was the high point of civilization.
When the world was still there for the taking, new lands to be won, new enemies to conquer, new treasures to discover.
Men need frontiers & conquest! A taste of that challenge can still be found through building businesses.⚜️
@Philosophi_Cat
Imagine if China staged a coup in Mexico, put in a fake intelligence backed government, then tried to put nuclear capable missiles on the south Texas border with <7m flight time to many of the most populated US cities. What would the US do in response? There’s your answer.
For those of you who are feeling lost or stuck...
The reason your life has no direction & you're not getting results is because you don't actually know what you want anymore.
Most of my teens were wasted feeling trapped & lost.
Here's how you fix it:
The Gen X/Boomer mantra of 'Don't commit to anything too soon' is bullshit.
Commit to your business, go all out.
Commit to your relationship, go all out.
Commit to your life, go all out.
Don't sit around waiting & procrastinating.
Commit to your choices & commit hard.
Certified path to freedom:
1) Get to $10k net monthly as fast as possible. 3 jobs, side hustle, whatever it takes.
2) Get health & habits in order, food, hydrate, morning routine.
3) Build systems, detach time & scale to 7 figures.
4) Invest in cash producing assets
5) Freedom.
1) Nobody Owes You Anything
2) Your Will is Your World
3) Speak Directly and Confidently
4) Avoid The Media
5) Study and Take Action
6) No Emotions In Business
7) Onto The Next One
8) Money is The ULTIMATE Liberator
9) Focused Obsession
10) Be Proactive

The world is NOT a fair place
You do not have it as easy as the boomers or gen x. The system *is* rigged to stop your upward mobility
To break through, give yourself every legal & ethical advantage you can
And don’t let your ego stop you from making things easier on yourself.
If you have time to browse Twitter, watch Netflix or post memes in the group chat... You have time to set goals, start a business, do the work & be successful.
It’s cheaper to invest in yourself than to not...
If you’re capable of $250k a year and only making $75k...
But you refuse to spend $10k on training & help to get to $250k…
You've just lost $175k/year trying to save $10k. 🤔
Do the math.

@TellYourSonThis
Genius & insightful. 👌
I've observed a weird phenomenon.
Where everything just "flows" when you're feeling gratitude, abundance & love.
Whereas, when you feel anger, envy, frustration or resentment things bog down.
Everything you do becomes a challenge.
This is "the secret".
@JamesPorrazzo
I see Armenia's elites are as eager to sell their country out as western ones. You'd think their history of conflict would have taught some lessons, but clearly not.
'School' is dead, it's an Industrial Age relic in an Information Age economy. Over 60% of college grads can't find jobs in their field, no surprise. Be ahead of the curve & educate yourself instead.
Lessons from the Koch Brothers on building a $100 billion dollar private business empire through calculated acquisitions, seizing opportunities & embracing capitalism.
Here are the three key criteria when Koch Industries evaluates a deal:
Fresh & Fits idea of being masculine is just making money & fucking lots of girls. That’s it. There is no further depth to it, nothing about honor, duty, or higher purpose. Not even fatherhood. It doesn’t surprise me to discover they rawdog escorts then fund the abortion.
