Bitcoin vs. Crypto
@michael_saylor
“#Bitcoin is a moral imperative for everyone on Earth.” #Bitcoin is freedom. Nothing has created more wealth in the past decade than technologies banned in China. Sell your altcoins and buy #Bitcoin. Everyone is overestimating the potential of the alt coins and underestimating the potential of #Bitcoin
“A year ago I said you should sell your gold and buy bitcoin.
I don’t think I was wrong.
Today I would say sell your altcoins and buy #bitcoin.
Everybody is overestimating the potential of the altcoins and they’re underestimating the potential of bitcoin.” – @michael_saylor
One year after my first discussion with @RaoulGMI, we get back together to discuss lessons of the past 12 months, corporate adoption of #Bitcoin, digital property, digital energy, leverage, risk, and the coming impact of regulation on the crypto industry. Watch Michael Saylor give Raoul Pal a whole new Real Vision.
When bitcoin becomes invisible and you can’t imagine your life without it. @maxkeiser on the @ln_strike being integrated into Twitter tips news

-by a million other things that aren’t public
And it is up from $10K to $42k year over year. Defense wins ball games.

TikTokers Are Trading Stocks By Copying What Members Of Congress Do
A community of young investors on TikTok, including @ceowatchlist, @quicktrades and @irisapp, are using House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s stock trading disclosures as inspiration for where to invest themselves. One user called Pelosi the market’s “biggest whale,” while another called her the “queen of investing.”
The White Sands discovery only confirms what Indigenous people have said all along
Once again, the media has excluded Indigenous peoples from our own story.”Time immemorial” is a term of art borrowed from English law and means pre-1189, just saying. There’s a phrase that I think is true in most academic fields: “dismissed Indigenous oral history as nonscientific” Not just Indigenous but all oral knowledge. The only exceptions I’ve seen relate to the origins of European literature. I doubt that’s coincidence. The entire American Constitution and everything that derives from it is a “colonialist institution”.
Eventually, all money will be digital. That’s a fact. But we still have time to decide what *kind* of digital money we want. The legacy system would like us to rent *their* money, designed for easy surveillance, censorship, and seizure.
– No that is not a fact. There will always be people who will want and use physical money.
If the minimum wage had increased at the rate of productivity since 1960, it would be nearly *$24* right now. Instead, because politicians have failed to act, it’s a starvation wage of just $7.25
Why Bitcoin Matters for Freedom
UN Food Summit Taken Over by Corporations & Gates
Nils McCune and Camila Escalante say the meeting represents a hostile takeover of world governance by corporate forces and the billionaire elite.
I estimate about 40 hours of labor required to research and fill in the remaining 435 Congress members’ financial disclosures on https://bitcoinpoliticians.org – a full week of work for a sole contributor, but far less if a few dozen folks look up 10 disclosures each!
Steve Mnuchin took trips to Middle East countries in his last days as Trump’s Treasury Secretary, costing taxpayers $300k.
After he left office, Mnuchin started a $2.5 billion investment fund with some of the same countries.
Yeah, that’s questionable.
Merrick Garland What the hell are you waiting for?
– Robert Mueller started investigating Trump 1592 days ago, finding 10 instances of obstruction of justice
– Fmr FBI Director Mueller testified under oath 794 days ago that upon leaving office Trump could be indicted for 10 counts of obstruction
– Trump left office 248 days ago
Robert Reich Reminder: In only 4 of the past 28 years have Democrats had the presidency AND both houses of Congress. This is a rare opportunity and the window to act is already closing. Voting rights. Taxing the rich. Campaign finance reform. Climate action. It all needs to happen — now.
If you thought Jan 6 was violent, that was nothing compared to what they’re planning for Jan 2025. These state bills to suppress voting and give crooked state legislatures the power to set aside or throw into chaos vote tallies are intended to lay the groundwork for bloodshed.
The ACLU of Ohio, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Covington & Burling LLP have filed a lawsuit in Ohio Supreme Court challenging Ohio’s newly drawn maps for state House and Senate districts “that give extreme and unfair advantage to the Republican Party.”
Average US tax rate: 13.3%
Average tax rate for 400 richest US families: 8.2%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
China’s authoritarian crackdown on crypto, including #Bitcoin, is a big opportunity for the U.S. It’s also a reminder of our huge structural advantage over China. ~ Senator Pat Toomey
