Bitcoin is money that they can't control.
More importantly, Bitcoin is money that they can't use to control you.

Did you know our mining facility runs on energy that would otherwise go to waste?
The substation next to our site had more power coming in than the area was using. Our Bitcoin miners put that surplus to work.
Bitcoin miners are a flexible load. They can power down in seconds and restart without losing anything. That lets us run on surplus power when it’s available and curtail when the grid needs it back. Few other large energy users can do that.
The energy was being produced before we arrived and would still be produced if we left. We use the gap between what’s generated and what’s consumed, and the grid gets a customer that steps aside when demand climbs.

I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to remix @carlabitcoin’s iconic “MONEY, MONEY, MONEY” music video.
I did this with minimal effort while we were on a weekend getaway, in between wrangling our two kids.
Here is “MONEY, MONEY, MONEY (FESTIVAL REMIX)”

Stroke of a Pen
I told Opus 5.5 to read my Bitcoin & monetary-history wikis & make a music video with code only.
it used ElevenLabs for the track.
Then a swarm of agents storyboarded and coded a 3:23 portrait reel. ~75 shots cut on the beats.
Had to do 2 revisions - first the people looked like poorly animated stick figures & it rewrote the rigs.
Then I said use matrix code to make it more interesting.
Impressive!

$40,000,000,000,000.
The U.S. national debt has gotten so large that the number almost loses meaning.
So how big is the debt, really?

Minimum wage in 1963 in the US was $1.25
That was 5 silver quarters.
Today the melt value of those 5 silver quarters is $57.90.
Instead, US Federal minimum wage is $7.25
That's the whole ruse...that's the whole game.

The Anthropic/OpenAI/Google scheme to have government regulate them follows a pattern. Every major new industry has done this: pharmaceuticals, meat, banking, finance, agriculture, software, social media, crypto. It's a conventional cartelization scheme and the dominant economic form of the last 150 years.

In Atlas Shrugged, one by one the productive people realize that the parasitic system can survive for a very long time on the efforts of the people still trying to save it.
Eventually they stop arguing. Stop repairing it. And leave.
They don’t protest harder. They withdraw their labor and let the system reveal what it is without them.
Exiting a system that became beyond-repair is something every Bitcoiner has already done once.

Bitcoiner HAC (@heavilyarmedc) invites us to rethink Bitcoin hardware from scratch. What does a signing device actually do, and can you do it yourself? He makes the case for why DIY Bitcoin with generic hardware is better than specialized Bitcoin hardware.

I made a video compilation of @Tesla FSD (Supervised) avoiding accidents, pedestrians and animals. This technology is already saving countless lives.
Thanks for submitting your clips!

Great conversion and amazing beef S/O @FischerFarmsIN

Yesterday I began fully integrating the @OpenAI trust cyber program into my Bitcoin Red Team efforts.
This morning I woke up to see this.
I am now being blocked from doing additional analysis on a codebase which I've already responsibly disclosed to, and have received confirmation had legitimate findings.
To be clear, this is after having already KYC'd and completed the onboarding process months ago to use the cyber capabilities OpenAI has to offer.
I am now prevented from being able to continue the investigation in a further effort to make sure their code changes are sufficient, as well as understand if there are other issues that have yet to be discovered.
It absolutely guts me as a patriotic American to have to do this, but I will be going back to using Chinese open source models to conduct my research to protect Bitcoin infrastructure.
Black hats will not hit these issues. The white hats will. We've hit a local minima in policy. Intelligence is unrestricted for those who don't follow rules, and those who engadge in harm reduction are left on the sidelines.
What are we doing in this country? How is this keeping people safe?
Please do something @DavidSacks @sama @realDonaldTrump
