Your choice Quebec.
Follow the lemmings off the cliff or try something different?

Canada has been on a steep decline for over a decade and Mira and Mike produced @BrokenCountry_ to highlight just how far the country has fallen.
Don't think for one second that the US can't suffer a similar decline. We may already be on the way.

It's Daft Punk week in the Bent car ride to school this week. Discussing it on RHR now.

🔴 LIVE: Google wants to custody bitcoin for banks, the NYSE's owner is bringing Hyperliquid perps onshore and Brazil's capital is running for the exits. Plus Calacanis says sell bitcoin for AI. Rabbit Hole Recap w/ @MartyBent & @tpacchia nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1qGoNYlbl…

Having $1 million in Bitcoin is different from having $1 million in anything else.
$1M in real estate: property tax, insurance, maintenance, tenants.
$1M in stocks: earnings, c-suite, disruption, constant monitoring, etc.
$1M in Bitcoin: 12-24 words, valid forever
Wealth you must maintain is a job.
Wealth you can memorize is ultimate monetary freedom.

“That was almost a million dollar bill. And the crowd funded that with no problem.”
The number one question I get as a @crowdhealth member is what happens with a catastrophic bill. Here's @andyjschoonover with the answer. Open enrollment opens Sunday.

It is completely insane to subject yourself to paying for health insurance when @crowdhealth exists.
I pay $725 per month for a family of five. We’ve been members since 2021, have had two babies, multiple health events, and couldn’t be happier.
We’re paying less than $10,000 a year and never have a problem. Free yourself from the extortion of health insurance and become a member.

The beauty of the Crowd is that it creates a free market by filling the gap between two broken options:
Health insurance supposedly "protects" people from big bills (although it often doesn't), by transferring the risk to a third party, it removes any reason to care about price, which is a major reason costs keep climbing.
Going uninsured keeps people price conscious, but it leaves them exposed to catastrophic expenses.
CrowdHealth combines the two: community support for large, unexpected costs, with members who keep ownership of their own healthcare decisions and the tools to make those decisions well.
We believe putting ownership back with the individual is the only way to bring real consumerism, and real cost reduction, to healthcare.

.@pkedrosky: the Mag 7 drove almost 45% of S&P 500 growth over five years. Something like 55% of the index is now tech. More than half of Americans own stocks.
Your "diversified" index fund is a concentrated AI bet.
Bitcoin is the diversification. Today's Commoner.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Bitcoin miners don't consume energy,
they channel the energy into digital units and exhaust heat.

Lovely.
A hacker is actively attempting to breach the US Federal Election Commission's systems, forcing the agency to temporarily shut down all web-facing services one week before midterms, according to an email reviewed by Reuters.
The FEC confirmed its electronic filing system is currently offline and IT staff are working to restore service. The agency's website remains down.
While the FEC regulates campaign funding and enforces campaign finance law, it does not administer elections. Elections are run at the state level.

I think this has the opportunity to be a catalyst for the next adoption wave.
Bitcoin backed lenders should be competing to drive down rates below HELOC rates as quickly as possible.
Once that happens Bitcoin is going to become irresistible for a large swath of capital.
Good to hear Marty is seeing more competition in Bitcoin lending.
Now let's see whether borrowers get quoted better rates!

“So the duration is very short and it's T-bills.”
@JohnArnoldTen31 on Bessent invoking Lincoln's 1863 National Currency Act to frame the GENIUS Act: Civil War-era bank notes backed by Treasury bonds then, global stablecoins backed by short-dated T-bills now.

It's that time. TAKEDOWN TUESDAY!
We have some DOOZIES coming up! This is the first in a string of 6 digit bills where cash pay discounts and our negotiating ninjas have gotten them to a reasonable price.
Major heart surgery, ICU stay, meds, and implanted defibrillator.
Member paid $500
The Crowd picked up the remaining $59,500.
Escape the system. Join CrowdHealth.

“The automation itself is making you richer. So that escalator is going up and up.”
@profstonge on why "AI will take all the jobs" is a script as old as Socrates and water wheels, and why he still expects real transition pain for fresh grads.

Our mission is to “Legit love our members”
Compare our customer reviews to any health insurance company or Healthshare and we will win.
Why do we focus so much on customer satisfaction?
40-50% of our customers come from existing customers.
If we treat our members well they’ll tell their family and friends. The member gets $250 and their referral gets a discount.
The Crowd grows and your prices drop.
Total economic alignment between company and customer.
Also, if you’ve have ever met our people face to face, you know it goes beyond the economics. You can’t fake it. We have an incredible group of people who truly care about you and your families.
