What if you had invested $100 in these assets 10 years ago?
Do you know how bad it was that 10 years ago when Bitcoin was at $300, that it was going to make the world a better place for all the people, it would help the world! it would separate money from state and might be worth thousands of dollars in the future, then proved right?

- Get a Fidelity account.
- Every time your government prints money they are directly stealing from you to fund themselves
Inflation = theft
https://usdebtclock.org/ - President Roosevelt signing Executive Order 6102 banning gold, on April 5, 1933. For all these past years, US citizens couldn’t defend their money from inflation. This is why we #Bitcoin!!
- If you aren’t buying bitcoin or MSTR you have to be from the generation that remembers when someone was getting Ice from the Ice truck and putting it in the Icebox.
If you aren’t buying bitcoin and you are from the Father Guido Sarducci generation remember this https://youtu.be/dNOCKPxQ9kI
Big Mac Inflation | Father Guido Sarducci Explains Inflation - Vanguard Clown Car says #Bitcoin has “no appropriate role” pensions funds because it is “risky and lacks intrinsic value”.
- MicroStrategy just got included in the NASDAQ!
$MSTR added to $QQQ!!! on December 23, 2024
CONGRATS @Saylor & $MSTR HODLERS!
“MicroStrategy will likely enter the Nasdaq 100 Index on Dec. 23, and we expect net buying of at least $2.1 billion in shares by ETFs to follow, equal to about 20% of daily volume,” Seyffart explained. “Joining the S&P 500 will be tougher because of a lack of profit, though an accounting-rule change surrounding Bitcoin valuations could make MicroStrategy eligible in 2025.”
Net buying of $2.1 billion would be an added boost to MSTR, which has already outperformed most major stocks and also bitcoin this year — up 450% year-to-date at the time of writing.

Buy something that:
1. Everyone in the world needs.
2. Nobody in the world can stop.
3. Almost nobody understands.
10 years ago it was Amazon/Apple

Or as Arthur C. Clarke would say:
“Every revolutionary idea seems to evoke three stages of reaction. They may be summed up by the phrases: It’s completely impossible. It’s possible, but it’s not worth doing. I said it was a good idea all along.”
BITCOIN IS MORE VALUABLE THAN DIGITAL MONEY.

Fear and Bitcoin.
Whenever Bitcoin has a bull run, naysayers try to cope with missing the boat by rationalizing why it will fail through “Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt” or what we Bitcoiners have nicknamed “FUD.”
5 years ago today, 12/11/24 you could buy 15 #Bitcoin for 1 cent ✨
It’s wild that you could have a crystal-clear video call with someone in New Delhi from New York.
But sending them $3? Basically impossible.
Until bitcoin came along.
SECURITY Don’t forget to store your wealth with 7 of 9 multi-sig. At least 5 keys cold. Use 9 geographic locations with significantly different time zones and a minimum of 3 obscure languages to navigate.
STRATEDGY
When it gets there. Don’t sell.
Follow the strategy of the wealthy.
Use it as collateral to borrow fiat.
Spend that fiat which gets cheaper every day.
Hold onto your assets forever, pass it to your kids with the same message.
Gold is an approximation of an uncheatable distributed ledger using atoms.
But gold has a broken scarcity model.
Gold tried to be Bitcoin but the tech allows money for the internet.
Bitcoin actually IS an uncheatable distributed ledger.

UGH OH
The SEC is giving Elon Musk a 48-hour ultimatum: agree to a monetary settlement or face charges for alleged securities fraud. At the center of this is Musk’s purchase of significant Twitter shares before revealing his plan to buy the platform outright—a move that smells a lot like insider trading.
This isn’t the only heat Musk is facing. The SEC has also reopened an investigation into Neuralink, his brain-chip venture, adding more fuel to the fire. Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, claims this is just another chapter in the SEC’s “years of harassment,” calling the agency’s actions a “misguided scheme.”
As of now, Musk hasn’t budged on the settlement demand, and the clock is ticking. Will the SEC finally hold him accountable, or is this just another empty threat? Let’s see. Well now we know why Musk’s sudden interest in “reforming the government” I guess if his lawyers can hold the SEC at bay until Jan 20, he’s home free.

They want to crash the economy
So they can declare a crisis and state of emergency
So they can suspend free speech — and imprison and execute people without charges or trials
This is the fascist playbook — know it so you can oppose it
The Trump agenda: No vaccines. No postal service.
Hey MAGA voters, there goes your mail service!
Hey rural MAGA voters, Trump wants to take away your mail service or
make it so expensive you can’t afford it! ‘Cause that’s what privatization of USPS would do. Less service. Higher rates. More profits for billionaires.

This fucking ghoul spewing his astounding bullshit & gibberish – lemme translate for you – break it down .
Peter Thiel says the ancien régime of liberalism is exhausted: “the 1990s are over, the 20th century is over. The 2020 election was not a return to normalcy, but it was in retrospect a last stand for the ancien régime with its very ancien president”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luTHVKFi3dc
Translation: Listen you pathetic fucking suckers- we win.
Oligarchy serfdom & feudalism is the natural order .
We will blow up the world to avoid paying tax – literally, figuratively We would rather make the world a burning , living hell than pay tax – I’m that obsessed with my greed .
Might makes right
Power is absolute –
So , me and my friends have it. You don’t ,
We deserve it – fuck you pay me. Go die .
I went to the ayn Rand school of pseudo intellectual bloviation .
I’m an angry petulant vicious little thug .
Just try and get at me in my fortified bespoke compounds and bunkers and my vast warren of underground tunnels .
I hate you as much as I hate myself –
I forgot to mention Thiel’s perverse use of the term “ancien régime”. An insulting way to describe pre-revolution France and the inequitable rule of clergy, nobility, and the wealthy. Serfs were tossed in the remaining 96% or Third estate. Before the revolution in France, a time known as the Ancien Regime,
society was divided into three distinct classes, known as the Three Estates.

United Healthcare kept $20 billion of their subscriber’s money in 2022 while denying their healthcare claims. That’s messed up. Health insurers raked in $371 BILLION in profits since passage of the ACA, while raising family premiums to $26K a year. More than 40% of the profit went to UnitedHealth, whose profits rose 400% as the company denies nearly 1 in 3 claims.

Cases of whooping cough in Michigan are at their highest level in at least 20 years, as vaccinations decline. The disease can be deadly to infants. Alarmed by the increase, doctors are pleading for families to vaccinate their children.

Suddenly, people are interested in polio, when word got out today that RFK, Jr.’s top advisor — who is screening people for jobs at HHS — has recently tried to get the polio vaccine banned
https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/113648660717057588
RJK, Jr.’s lawyer has filed to pull many vaccines, wants to give half
of children placebo instead of real polio vaccines “for double blind test”.
Insanity. Absolute insanity. And Trump says “he is open” to discussing
ending virtually all vaccines, including polio vaccine.
Fun fact: Jonas Salk gave away his patent for the polio vaccine. The man didn’t make a dime off it.
Maybe Dr. Oz owning $550,000 in UnitedHealth stock and seeking to run the agency that oversees UnitedHealth’s biggest cash cow (Medicare Advantage) should get more attention

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is the 10th richest person in America, with a net worth of $127 BILLION.
Thanks to estate tax loopholes, he’s set to pass much of that wealth down tax-free—dodging as much as $8 BILLION in taxes.
Close the loopholes. Tax the rich. Unrig the economy.

Yesterday, House Republicans wrote to Trump urging him to terminate the IRS’s new free tax filing program.
They’ve also been trying to strip the IRS of its funding.
The GOP wants to make it harder for you to do your taxes while making it easier for the rich to dodge theirs.
Elon Musk is reportedly buying a $100 million penthouse near Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago.
I remember when Elon Musk said he would “own no home” and sold off all of his belongings pretending to be a benevolent billionaire.
What an epic fraud.
