Day in the life of a Bitcoin podcaster:
– wake up at 10:30am, immediately check price and tweet “gm to everyone except fiat holders” and "buy the dip"
– cold plunge for 15 minutes to “lower time preference”
– eat four raw eggs and a ribeye because “seed oils are a psyop”
– record a 2-hour solo podcast rambling about “the Bitcoin cycle js dead" and “hyperbitcoinization”
– spend 3 hours on X arguing with a no-coiner and retweeting Michael Saylor
– grab an overpriced coffee, try to pay via Lightning, hold up the line for 4 minutes (end up using Visa)
– edit podcast, add dramatic intro music and 5 mid-roll ads for VPNs and hardware wallets
– go on a Hinge date, ask her “what is money?” within the first 5 minutes
– refuses to tip because “taxation is theft” and "$10 more sats"
– go home and host a Twitter Space titled “Is the Dollar Collapsing Tonight?” (it is not)
– tell his 12 dedicated listeners to “stay humble, stack sats”
– go to bed at 3am, dreaming of the citadel

So the fear index is lower than during the FTX collapse...
Since FTX:
- We *survived* FTX
- The US created a strategic BTC stockpile
- Sovereign wealth, pensions, universities, and companies bought bitcoin
- Favorable regs enabled institutional access

"You got lucky"
No, we watched bitcoin fall 80%; the bear drag on for months
During the darkest periods, we faced criticisms from colleagues, friends, and family
We forwent little luxuries, guilty pleasures and even comforts to stack more
We fought quiet internal battles, second-guessing our resolve
So no, we didn't get lucky. We worked our assess off

We have entered a new energy arms race where AI, Bitcoin mining, and geopolitics collide to fuel the greatest buildout of power infrastructure in history.
It's the Golden Age of energy production:
- The capital being funneled into datacenters will be a boon to energy abundance. More nuclear will be built (geopolitical pressures are reversing the pendulum swing). Drill baby drill for oil: regulations will become more favourable for fossil.
- Bitcoin miners walked so AI could run (by building out sites over the last 5 years).
- Infrastructure remains a challenge wrt bottlenecks in permitting, transmission, and construction will limit how fast it can actually be built.
AI is coming for our jobs and our energy:
- AI is power-hungry and well capitalized. It's outcompeting miners for energy sites, miners are diverting infrastructure to AI, & more mining power contracts will be broken.
- AI hyperscalers are the new energy barons. AI demand will drive more new energy capacity over the next 5 years than most traditional sectors did in the last 3 decades.
Bitcoin Mining is the pioneer species accelerating energy abundance:
- Miners will move to the edges (geographically and wrt energy sources).
- Full stack miners with integrated energy are better positioned in developed countries.
- Miners will build out and shore up infrastructure in developing countries, like they pioneered sites here for AI.

Seeing takes that Bitcoin has changed so OG whales are selling...
I'm here to remind you that Bitcoin is for everyone. Everyone INCLUDES enemies, governments, and Wall Street.
If you were here for uncensorable freedom money, that hasn't changed. What has changed is the geopolitics, gov monetary/fiscal activities, and restrictions on freedoms to transact privately.
CBDCs are coming. Money with expiry dates and ON/OFF switches. The noose is tightening on cash transactions, and governments have plans to eventually phase them out. Your every transaction, purchase, and counterparty will become that much easier to track.
Privacy is under attack. Surveillance is growing. Social credit scores exist. Everything is smart tech. Cameras are everywhere. Our devices are always listening. Our banks, tech giants, and governments have agreements to share all our data, and you need to sign their 20-page aggrements to use their services.
Governments are printing money. Inflation and unaffordability are rising. Everyone needs to protect their savings.
Governments are deeply indebted and spending recklessly. They will need to raise taxes, and some have proposed unrealized capital gains taxes. They'll start with wealth taxes, but the debt will grow. Bank and governments have set precedents on bail ins and hair cuts. They will do it again.
There are still pockets of the world that are left out of the global economy. They cannot get back accounts, or their banks don't transact across borders, or they're cut off from SWIFT. The pendulum is now swinging away from globalism.
Bitcoin is your protection against CBDCs, inflation and money printing, attacks on our freedoms to transact globally, attacks on privacy, and confiscation of our savings. It's not enterprise blockchains or the "next Bitcoin" (there is no next bitcoin) that will protect you.
Every rational actor wants wants Bitcoin when they put in the work to grok it, and this realization will permeate throughout our society, even to those you disagree with.
The pot temperature is getting hotter, so why would you jump in now? Because you dont like that bankers and corporations are now sitting with you on the pot edge? Don't cut off your nose to spite your face. Don't let critics shake your foundation.
Bitcoin is hope. The exit hatch. Buy Bitcoin. Hold Bitcoin. Protect yourself. Protect your family and your legacy across generations.

Trudeau selling gold for US Treasuries is coming back to haunt Canada with the announcement to sell our USTs (gold also outperformed 10-year US bonds since 2000)
What will we sell USTs for? Gold at higher prices? Other currencies like the EUR? IMF SBRs?
Or Bitcoin to hedge against trade wars, inflation, & CAD depreciation:

Bhutan is executing a model nation-state Bitcoin play:
- Built the largest intentional reserve of 13k BTC (not seized or stolen BTC)
- Accumulating a scarce commodity using cheap, excess hydro at a large scale (larger than El Salvador)
- Using SBR to benefit country, including funding public services like free healthcare and environmental initiatives, and to finance the salaries of public servants

The IMF has imposed conditions that El Salvador stop accumulating Bitcoin as part of its $1.4billion loan. They will be restricted from Bitcoin purchases and mining. This has several implications for "Bitcoin Country".
https://image.nostr.build/d9d8eacb4a4b062863ecf3c693f88e85fd6223bf31dc8c54ef9dbeb9e1c88846.jpg
𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗠𝗙 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗻𝘀
This request aligns with the IMF’s broader historical pattern of using loans as leverage to shape the economic policies of borrowing nations in a way that prioritizes Western financial interests.
The IMF (and World Bank) has historically imposed economic conditions that force developing nations to prioritize foreign debt repayment and economic policies favoring multinational corporations over domestic economic sovereignty. These conditions often limit a country’s ability to pursue independent economic strategies, such as nationalizing resources, setting up protective trade policies, and now, in the digital age, adopting Bitcoin as a reserve asset. See @nprofile…89xw and J. Perkins (Confessions of an Economic Hitman) bodies of work for more context on how the IMF operates and their economic aftermath.
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗠𝗙 𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?
Bitcoin represents an alternative to the global dollar-based financial system, which is dominated by the IMF, World Bank, and Western financial institutions. If El Salvador successfully accumulates Bitcoin and demonstrates its use as a sovereign reserve asset, it could set a precedent for other developing nations to reduce reliance on the IMF’s financial mechanisms.
The IMF traditionally structures loans to ensure that the borrowing country remains within the dollar-based global economy. Bitcoin adoption could reduce El Salvador’s reliance on the U.S. dollar, challenging the traditional financial architecture in which the IMF plays a central role.
If El Salvador complies, it may remain dependent on traditional financial institutions and the dollar based system for a longer timeframe. By limiting Bitcoin accumulation, the IMF forces El Salvador to stay within an economic system prone to inflation, capital controls, and external geopolitical shocks.
El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment, spearheaded by Bukele, challenges the traditional debt-based system and represents an alternative development model that the IMF may perceive as a threat.
Much is at stake: if El Salvador were to succeed in integrating Bitcoin successfully, it could encourage other countries to follow suit. The IMF’s condition is likely a preemptive measure to prevent this trend from gaining traction.
𝗘𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘃𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗱
El Salvador already has a strategic geopolitical advantage compared to other countries that have accepted IMF loans in that they have accumulated over 6,000 Bitcoin.
The US Federal and State governments, other Western countries, and sovereign wealth are increasingly contemplating adding Bitcoin to reserves. As one of the first movers, El Salvador is in a unique position to repay it's debt with potential Bitcoin price appreciation with rising global adoption, unlike other developing countries that continue to take on debt (and loan conditions) via IMF loan restructuring.
Further, El Salvador has implemented soft Bitcoin initiatives like education (see the ES Bitcoin Office's initiatives), which position its people and businesses towards individual adoption and accumulation (vs at a national level). These are more likely to survive government terms and changing policies, and also build businesses that can compete globally in a growing Bitcoin economy.
When El Salvador adopted the Bitcoin Law, it appeared that Bitcoin could be an alternative pathway for developing countries becoming more economically sovereign instead of taking on IMF and World Bank loans. The disappointment observed by Bitcoiners in seeing the conditions imposed by the IMF are understandable. But it may not be black or white -- more time is needed to assess the lasting success of El Salvador’s efforts to become a Bitcoin Country.
