I just graduated from USC. I now have a bachelor’s in Business Economics and a master’s in Marketing, where I took over 42 units of finance and economics courses. And still, none of those courses taught me what I learned on my own. No class explained the truth about the broken system we live in. It was brushed off. I found that through late nights and early mornings studying Bitcoin, questioning fiat, and questioning everything I had ever been taught about economics, realizing the financial world is built on sinking sand. Reading Broken Money by @LynAldenContact built the foundation. Reading The Bitcoin Standard and Principles of Economics by @saifedean connected the dots. The Big Print by @LawrenceLepard lit the fire. @jackmallers podcast helped me put words to what I was feeling. Rage, urgency, hope, and purpose. And hearing @adamobrien_ talk about Bitcoin as a way to protect his kids’ future made me realize I want that too. Bitcoin gave me clarity. It gave me hope. Choosing Bitcoin isn’t about wealth. It’s about building something real for my future family. It’s the hardest money there is, one that comes with strong conviction. I’m making a decision now, to become someone my future kids will be proud of and grateful for. A decision to reject comfort. To choose discipline over dopamine. I don’t want to waste my 20s watching Love Island, mindlessly scrolling TikTok, or watching football each week. I want to understand the truth behind financial markets and why the system is built to keep us dependent. I want to see through all the noise, stack sats, build conviction, become unshakable, and tell the story of sound money. I’m not like the rest of my generation, and I’m okay with that. #bitcoin #getbased #soundmoney #saifedean #lynalden #larrylepard #jackmallers #adamobrien #thebitcoinwell

I’m still a lover of New York. Always will be. Even under policies I don’t agree with, even when socialism feels louder than sovereignty. The world may go crazy. Markets may spiral. Fiscal dominance is the new norm. But I refuse to play small. I want to thrive in the storm, not hide from it. Because when systems rot from the inside, the ones who adapt, create, and stay grounded in truth, become the foundation for what comes next. And every broken system eventually needs builders to replace it.

Real economy: breaking. Financial markets: addicted to liquidity. Policymakers: celebrating “nominal GDP.” The U.S. isn’t growing. It’s devaluing to survive.

I think $STRC is the infinite money glitch that @saylor was looking for as his primary weapon in the speculative attack on the dollar that @BitcoinPierre described YEARS AGO. It’s happening. And it is WILD. It’s like a stealth robbery. He offers 10% DIVIDEND ON A MONEY THAT IS LOSING ABOUT THAT AMOUNT PER YEAR. People will force him to take their money. He is getting FREE money to buy Bitcoin. The hardest money to every exist. Read this again.

$STRC holding ~$100 even as traditional markets and bitcoin sell off. Incredible. Digital Credit is the future.

If we don't diagnose and treat the core of the problem, people are only going to continue moving closer to the polar ends of the political spectrum. Broken money is at the core of today's issues. Until that is widely acknowledged nothing will get fixed. tftc.io/bitcoin-third-path/

A 70% Bitcoin CAGR over the next 6-12 months would cause paper Bitcoin summer round 2. The time to amplify in preparation is now.

Don’t settle for survival, build for sovereignty.

The honeymoon phase shouldn’t end. If you choose each other every day, it just gets sweeter. More depth and more fun.

When the money is broken, people start reaching for fantasies. That’s why figures like Mandami get traction: -share everything -abolish wealth -the system is evil -just redistribute. It sounds comforting when you’re drowning. Socialism is not a solution. It’s a symptom of a generation that’s been economically cornered. You don’t fix a broken system by making everyone dependent on it. You fix it by leaving the system that is stealing from you. This is why Bitcoin matters.

Mandami won because people are struggling. When the economy breaks and people are priced out of their own city, they’ll vote for ANYTHING that looks like relief. The issue isn’t left vs right, it’s the money. The system. That’s why Bitcoin matters. NYC isn’t done. This city rebuilds itself again and again.

I won't be leaving New York City. We can't afford to surrender one of America's greatest cities to people who believe in punishing ambition, condemning success, rewarding criminal behavior, and villainizing the pursuit of financial independence. The road ahead will require courageous men and women who are willing to sacrifice their time, money, and energy to defend the American way of life. But it is also important that everyone hears the voice of the people. They are telling us clearly that rent is too high, groceries are too expensive, the system is not working for them, and change is needed. These people have identified real problems but voted for the wrong solutions. Thankfully, New York City is a very resilient place. It is a city that stands for ambition and opportunity. That is not going to change. Long live New York City ❤️

Just got a Bloomberg notification that says “Bitcoin drops to the lowest level since June.” Cool. Where was the notification when my rent doubled? When my groceries went up 40%? When my insurance climbed every year for no reason? When my college tuition tripled in a decade? Bitcoin isn’t crashing. The dollar is.

Hot take that should not be a hot take: Christian men and woman NEED EACH OTHER. Not just as husbands and wives, either. Paul ask us to treat elders like fathers and mothers, and peers like brothers and sisters, because he knew the world was against the church. My father has gone to Heaven, yet I still need earthy assistance, and calling upon spiritual fathers helps me. So many older women had advised me. Younger women have supported me. Younger men have encouraged me. I needed them ALL as a spiritual family because without their prayers and guidance, I would be lost. You cannot deride your mothers and sisters in Christ by telling them to bake a pie. You can’t humiliate brothers and fathers in Christ with feminism. We all need to be respectful, even in disagreement. If someone is making you feel comfortable by being mean, ask yourself why. Learn from the errors of Patriarchy Hannah; those who feed your flesh are NOT your friends. The world hates us because we love Christ. Ask yourself how you can love Jesus yet mock an entire gender.

The fact that the market can absorb this amount of sell pressure without nuking 30-50% is the signal here.

Bitcoin consolidating around $110K isn’t the story. If you believe in sound money, pullbacks are variance, not exits. Stop asking for a year-end price. Start asking where Bitcoin sits in the world’s portfolios five years from now.

Good morning. After a month of increasing usage, overnight borrowing (need for dollars) exploded on Friday to $50 billion, mostly in the afternoon session and not posted by the Fed but captured on Bloomberg. This need caused SOFR (borrowing rate) to explode to 35 bps above the Fed Funds rate. While some increased activity is expected at month end, these are serious red flags that the financial system is on the verge of locking up unless the Fed adds liquidity soon. Have a great week.

The way @ibrycecrawford speaks about his fiancée is the kind of love that restores faith. Gentle, proud, and full of respect. I pray one day I’m loved and spoken of with the same pride and tenderness. That’s the standard. That’s love. Men, take notes.

What is going on with this online rise in professing Christian men who are rude, abrasive, swear regularly, speak down on women, and constantly criticize seemingly everyone? Dear friends, this is a tragedy. And this is not the way of Christ. Father, help us follow your Word.
