Everything that FDR did to protect the nation from the unholy rule of the robber barons is being undone by the new Robber Barons and the Democrats don’t have a strategic message or plan for that!!

BITCOIN IS YOUR BEST DEFENSE

Cory Klippsten’s claim that owning 1 Bitcoin puts you in the top 0.01% of the global population is close to accurate. Data shows about 955,546 Bitcoin addresses hold at least 1 Bitcoin, which is roughly 0.012% of 8 billion people. This is slightly higher than 0.01% (800,000 people), likely due to some individuals owning multiple addresses. For practical purposes, the claim holds, as the difference is minor. Owning 1 Bitcoin indeed places you among a rare group, similar to the exclusivity Cory describes.

On average, for every population of 10,000 people who hold BTC, only 1 is a WholeCoiner. One Bitcoin is future generational wealth.

“Wholecoiner” objectively
“Bitcoiner” is subjective
Only when we start talking in sats will people start to understand what an accomplishment 1 Bitcoin is. Stack sats or stay poor. Simple math.
1 BTC = financial sovereignty. Everything else is noise.

Wholecoiners are in the 99.99 percentile.
Like scoring a perfect SAT, solving a Rubik’s Cube in under 5 seconds, typing 180 WPM without errors, or deadlifting 900 pounds.
If you own 1 Bitcoin you are in the top 1% of the top 1% of Bitcoin holders on Earth.
Between ~700k and 1.1M ppl with a whole coin depending on your assumptions. 8 billion humans.
Every wholecoiner is 1 in 10,000
note: most people hold 0.00000000 Bitcoin. the denominator in the stat above is all 8 billion people on Earth.

“THERE IS NO ISSUER. BTC IS AN INTRINSIC STORE OF VALUE.”
TRUMP DIGITAL ASSET DIRECTOR EXPLAINS WHY US RESERVE IS #BITCOIN ONLY

!!!! Bitcoin is a protocol, like IP. !!!!!!
Good luck supplanting the Internet of Money.
Tokenization is at best incremental improvements to financial IT, and does not need any other shit coin to function.

Trump’s tariff shock has plunged the U.S. into chaos.
The numbers don’t lie:
 $9 trillion in wealth vanished
— The S&P 500’s 18.9% plunge since April 2 wiped out retirement savings for millions, dwarfing the early 2008 crash.
Middle-class families face a $58,000 hit
— Tariffs could gut lifetime earnings, forcing parents to choose between groceries and college funds.
— 47% chance of U.S. recession — JPMorgan warns Trump’s trade war has pushed the economy to the edge.
— 57 countries retaliate
— Global backlash threatens $330B in U.S. Treasury demand, putting the dollar’s dominance at risk.  Volatility index at pandemic levels — CBOE’s VIX spike signals investor panic. This isn’t a dip—it’s a derailment.

The moment that something aspirational becomes cheap or easy to have, it ceases to be aspirational. This whole status game is becoming antiquated though, the new forms of status are much more worthwhile and enriching:
– The ability to be offline
– Full control over your time
– Having a stable long-term relationship
– The ability to give your family quality experiences
– The mental clarity and physical well-being that comes from eating well, exercising, and spending time outside.
None of these can be faked or “bought for a fraction of the price.”
They have to be earned one way or another.
And that proof-of-work is precisely what gives them value.
When you really think about it, proof-of-work underwrites all value.

April 15 2018: Bitcoin holds 42% market cap dominance over 1,500 shitcoins.
April 15 2022: Bitcoin holds 41% market cap dominance over 15,000 shitcoins.
April 15 2025: Bitcoin holds 63% market cap dominance over 40,000,000 shitcoins.

According to @ARKInvest’s latest report, Bitcoin’s 2024 returns beat
Gold
Equities
Emerging Markets
Real Estate
and Bonds
. . . combined

The U.S. Dollar devalued by more than 363% Since 2000
– That’s 14.5% Devaluation Per Year.
This means if your savings don’t grow by 14.5% annually, you’re falling behind. #Bitcoin fixes this.
