What is Bitcoin?It’s the value of gold or silver but lighter so that you can carry it on your phone; the value of real estate but you can move it and take it with you; and the value of fine art that can’t be defaced or destroyed — all in one.
What is Bitcoin in 5 words or less?
1. #Bitcoin is digital financial sovereignty.
2. Separation of money and government.
3. Money that cannot be stolen.
4. #Bitcoin is your property.
5. Unconfiscatable, trustless, decentralized, digital scarcity
6. Deflationary savings account.
7. Generational wealth without counterparty risk.
8. Property perfected, hope on earth.
9. Be your own bank.
10. The solution to central banking.
11. Immutable, scarce, inelastic, unconfiscatable money.
12. Money for the Internet
The approval of the ETF will create a demand shock for Bitcoin, while the Halving event will act as a supply shock.
The term “crypto” will be uncoupled from #bitcoin the inflows will be eye popping. It’s all about educating markets about the difference.
Gary Gensler SEC Chair: “… the courts have ruled on this and we at the SEC are taking a new look at Spot #Bitcoin” ETF’s based upon these court rulings.
With 8-12 filings under consideration at the SEC, brace for a Crypto takeover on US Stock Exchanges!
SEC just met with ALL spot Bitcoin ETF issuers and told them to remove any reference to “in-kind” redemptions from their filings. “Cash creates” only. It’s a done deal. 🤝
Negotiating the finer details.
SENETORIAL HEARING ON #BITCOIN With Oliver Velez
Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
“Mr. Velez. What do you have to say about the fact that #Bitcoin is open to all, including criminals who can use it’s innovation for nefarious purposes?”
Mr. Oliver Velez:
“Ma’am, it has been documented that 80% of all U.S. dollars in circulation have trace elements of cocaine on them and you’re asking me about the nearly non-existent nefarious use of #Bitcoin?!?!!”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren:
“That will be all from you Mr. Velez.”
I’m the last person these bozos would want to question.
Ancient History: The Unlikely Defeat of SOPA/PIPA

Trump Kept Hitler Speeches by His Bed
A resurfaced Vanity Fair interview with Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana, revealed some surprising facts about the former president—including the fact that he kept a book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches in a cabinet by his bed.
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.

A century ago, the future Nazi leader began his career as a propagandist.
It would be his chief occupation for the rest of his life. Without propaganda, he could never have become a public figure, let alone risen to power.

What Charles Koch Paid to Elude 70 Years in Prison
by Greg PalastDecember 21, 2023
In 1996, I filmed an investigation that never saw the light of day. It was about the richest guys you’d never heard of, Charles and David Koch — and their theft of a mind-blowing $2 billion in oil from Osage tribal land. Now, I’m blowing open the files in a new film.
It’s said that behind every great fortune is a great crime. This is the crime, the genesis of the Kochs’ $120 billion empire — and the foundation of the fearsome Koch Network, that political Death Star, created solely to keep Charles Koch out of prison.
Killers of the Flower Moon tells the story of the murder of scores of Osage for their oil. It ends in the 1920s, but as Chief Standing Bear says, “It’s still going on”. He wants us to know the rest of the story, especially the Osage’s battle with Koch Oil. Back in 1996, not a single US news outlet could be bothered to tell the story of a couple crooks from Wichita nor their “inconsequential” victims. The real story of the Kochs has yet to be told. Until now. This film will shake you — and it should.
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THOSE TEXTS THEY DELETED?
7/17/2022 January 6 panel examines whether erased Secret Service texts can be revived
Sources say committee investigating whether watchdog can use forensic tools to reconstruct messages from 5 and 6 January
Roy Cohn, deceased Trump lawyer and known pedofile, would host blackmail parties where prominent people would be placed in compromising situations, recorded then blackmailed to control them. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump learned a thing or two from him.
Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump
“You’re in a motel or at a bar in DC and, whatever you’re into – women, men, whatever — comes up and they’re very attractive….And you’re buying them a drink. Next thing you know, you’re in the motel room with them naked…”
-Republican Rep. Tim Burchett claims conservative…
And now you begin to see how Trump got so many Republicans to sing a much different tune in the 3 years since the January 6th insurrection attempt. 🤨
The Russians call it Kompromat and they’re master at it… Putin passed this knowledge on to Trump and he has used it very effectively. 😠
BOOM!

Ed Burke found guilty of racketeering in federal corruption trial
Ed Burke ‘had his hand out for money.’ Powerful politician convicted of extortion, bribery in historic verdict
A jury of nine women and three men heard from 38 witnesses over 16 days of testimony as prosecutors made their case that Burke was “a bribe taker” and “an extortionist.”
That’s the image a federal jury embraced Thursday when it found Burke guilty of racketeering, bribery and attempted extortion after nearly 23 hours of deliberations at the end of a historic corruption trial for which Chicago has waited five years.
Woodrow Wilson said this immediately after signing a bill that would allow the @federalreserve to be in the United States. This bill was signed on December 23, 1913 when everyone was already gone for Christmas break. Tomorrow will mark 110 years to the day.

When Clarence Thomas flouted longstanding ethics laws by refusing to disclose billionaire gifts, he may also have avoided laws requiring Americans to pay taxes on supplemental income & incentive payments, according to tax experts.
