Pay your debts, Get a side hustle Stack hard assests Stack Gold, and #Bitcoin , https://image.nostr.build/503e0c7edc600ea0355123e2ef6ac2f42c69c3039ab2190756a176c1c184deb5.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist ⚠️REMINDER⚠️ $SOL is a centralized FinTech company masquerading as a cryptocurrency to circumvent security laws. You are gambling when you are in crypto, and tokens like $SOL. This is fine as pong as you understand that thia mindset is that of a gambler. But if you're a gambler, it’s guaranteed you’ll keep gambling until you lose, so know yourself. If you don’t know, you’re about to find out. Then you’ll come back to #Bitcoin with less money, and be paying higher prices. https://image.nostr.build/4c0275b8ebe35cdea2639b9939e99fd5f2a956d1b816ec5eb45f91f6e59f3abb.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist The Fed's Bank Term Funding Program (BTFP) introduced after the March 2023 banking crisis now offers lower borrowing rates than the Fed pays in interest on reserve balances. So, banks arbitrage this by borrowing from the facility (the Fed) at one interest rate, and then depositing that borrowed money with the Fed to earn a higher interest rate, and thus are earning that risk-free spread. They're arbitraging the Fed and the jokes on us. https://image.nostr.build/3538d25f6b6b0416e280e0fefdff877c1c849e52650bc272ee7f8d4d08ca0431.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Although a #Bitcoin ETF scares me, its a necessary double edged sword.. Let's "white board" this issue. Blackrock, Fidelity, Grayscale, ARK and Valkyrie all met with the SEC about their spot #Bitcoin ETFs a few day's back.. The momentum is tilting to inevitable, and the only question is what happens when $BTC enters price discovery mode. If this is a cash-in cash-out product (a pump and dump attempt manipulation, similar to gold) what happens to all the #BTC that #Grayscale hold? Does this force them to liquidate to fund their ETF? Also, does this mean that anyone holding other financial products also need to liquidate & take the capital gains hit if they want in? Hard to say, but with tens of trillions of investable assets being unlocked, at a minimum, just a 1% allocation would be hundreds of billions... But this ETF is not bitcoin, its paper prododuct bet and infused manipulation... but it adds mainstream legitimacy and will motivate people to maybe spend 5 minutes actually researching it. Well, as for selling one asset to buy another, that is just like any other ETF or security. Sell AAPL, buy IBIT, etc. As for GBTC, I am unsure what the mechanism will be and I expect that is a main point they are working on with the SEC. But would love for someone with more knowledge to weigh in on that..... My gut feeling is that its an elite attempt at manipulation to gain control... which won't work long term. What do you think? https://image.nostr.build/5cd02e86df2c369034344dffb4c1ab7fbbd5d4318ada93495ef15294108aba6f.jpg https://image.nostr.build/be1df7f4638f72ee4899ed072bc6b767cab535bc5caec0b0e55736406d07bf03.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist The truth is the exact opposite scenario npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist More proof that most markets aren't good indicators of economic performance. npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Where is your home planet, and what's it called? npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist https://image.nostr.build/694b52113461a5f33566b859b050076ac37df394822d543a9559c93a800357e6.gif npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Leaked kickbacks from Ukraine that are known.

Last week the Fed announced and negative M2 supply. We haven't seen a negative M2 supply since the 1930's. #Bitcoin inches closer to a "gamma squeeze" by the day. https://image.nostr.build/e73c4ffec1a4d482ccd8ba1dacd9b7df6b05a8a3fb99cd2aa2a06b681670eab2.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist First ➡️ El Salvador Next ➡️ Argentina https://image.nostr.build/fc962a5501e7a5e1344053bda5dc3022e1c575055bd5ef1849322b703bf4ca78.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Never Forget In 2020, these non-bitcoin, crypto people had icon, legend, and rockstar status...

These productivity gains should be flowing to us in the form of lower prices set by the free market. Instead, they're being redirect to our governments by weaponizing our fiat money system. This weapon is called debasement. https://image.nostr.build/61a0e8082949ab95c4680f7229017b46f98c2aade8499acfa3f4587b79177432.gif npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist REMINDER: Credit Cards are a scam the bank uses to sell your money back to you at a cost of 18 to 30%. Debt Cards are a scam the bank uses to charge you and/or merchants for spending your own money. Banks are not your friend, but #Bitcoin is. https://image.nostr.build/ea70b1d321a49abf1303ae52fc05050dc7385ea6606bfc49d4fae2e3d69b9606.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Exactly... we call out people for their bias from the echo chambers we've built for ourselves... human nature. npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Being genuine and consistent with your message is what matters most. npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist It's one thing when a dude says it, but when a woman calls out a guy for bending over, taking a knee or being a pussy, It stings 10x more. Im not a misogynist, just Gen X. npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist I’ve spent 100's of hours studying, researching, following, and analyzing “crypto”; keeping up with the fads, trends, scams, and buzzwords. To paraphrase Lyn Alden, there is not and has never been a problem I have, that crypto can solve for me or 99% of people. #Bitcoin , on the other hand, solves the hard globally-portable savings problem as I can travel anywhere with it without issue. This isn't the same with gold or cash as there are many problems transporting these across borders in large quantities. I don’t see better money than #Bitcoin for this purpose, and that’s a very, very big problem to solve. USD Stablecoins (I don't consider Stablecoins crypto) solve some developing market money problems in countries with collapsing and failing currencies, the number of which are growing dramatically. Stablecoins also act as a bridging tool while #Bitcoin is still volatile- I admit, this is a big problem right now. I do respect the collectable angle for crypto. I collected comics in the early 90s , some of which are worth thousands of dollars today. I guess you can buy an ape NFT and get a membership to that club where you show your status by showing off your "elite" avatar. But this is a niche that only carries value in these small, rather unique, communities and they don't solve any problems. DeFi is full of buzzwords and scams. Short for Decentralized Finace, this category of crypto claims to be an alternative to mainstream finace and banking. The reality is that DeFi is a COMPLETELY centralized and unregulated dark alley of crypto with annoymous teams placing themselves between you and your money. It's mainly about trading and leveraging worthless tokens. Crypto is mainly a circular ponzi where, in almost 15 years into that industry, there have been no more than a couple exciting and promising experiments in a sea of false narratives and broken promises. #Bitcoin and stablecoins are clearly very interesting and promising to me. linked-In, X and Nostr, for example, don't need a blockchain so there's no reason for 99% of people to migrate to the increasingly expensive and unsecure crypto alternatives. It could be argued that crypto acts as a casino and can be empowered from Bitcoin, Stablecoins, and the Lightning Network. The reality is that the overwhelming majority of “crypto” either don’t solve a problem, solve a mirco niche interest, or simply act as a giant black whole for scams and lies. https://image.nostr.build/03d279f78113287ec63d92f5c771800e741432be7b12a2abe41f8d73e633215c.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist I follow you because you're real. My life has been, at your best, the same. npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist It's very hard to speak in a calm, diplomatic and patient manner like Jeff.. very hard. But its something to aspire to. npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist It never occurred to me task my crossfit coach about protien because i just assumed i knew... Well i asked her how nuch i should be eating because i didn't feel that 40 grams a day was enough, and I was always craving junk food and getting sick every 8 weeks or so... She told me 1 gram per pound per day...minimum.... figgen minimum to make progress and for training to complete... For me, thats 230 grams day.. my god...

In honor of this very truthful news from our extremely trustworthy and reliable mainstream media, banking, academic, and government institutions, Here some more of their very truthful facts.... “Jeffrey Epstein killed himself.” “Two weeks to flatten the curve.” “Inflation is transitory.” “There is no border crisis.” “Putin caused inflation.” “Just one more booster.” “Climate change caused inflation.” “Ukraine needs more money.” “Greedy corporations caused inflation.” “Debt doesn’t matter.” “Bitcoin is funding terrorism.” “Joe Biden is fit for duty.” “The war on inflation is over.” “Anonymity is a threat to national security.” "Trump started inflation" “The US economy is doing amazingly well.” "Canadian realestate will always go up" "Misogynists caused inflation" "Justin Trudeau is honest and genuine" "The CPI is accurate" https://image.nostr.build/8f1630e88a33ca87604b078e7af7290eac4ab4c8ec16480faf85f574992f38a9.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist "Inflation is falling = prices are rising more slowly." It’s like a car driving at 60mph. You are moving forward sixty miles every hour. (Prices rising 3% every year) If you slam on the gas, your speed increases to 80mph (prices now rising 6% every year). But, unknowingly for you, the mechanic sabotaged your speedometer, meaning that you're REAL SPEED is 120mph ( prices ACTUALLY RISING at 13% per year). But then you slam on the brakes and your speed decreases... BUT.... you’re still moving forward. Yes, you maybe decelerating, but you haven't stopped and you're definitely not in reverse (Prices still rising, but at a slower pace than before - disinflation) Next you come to a stop and your speed is now 0mph - neither moving forward or backward. (The rate of inflation at 0%, prices not going up or down). If you put it in reverse, you are now moving backwards. (Prices falling - deflation). https://image.nostr.build/9f6c1ad8e8c7be504c5711bb481a2d62aa79e3ed6888249bdd05f975134e643c.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Change is only achieved through cohesion. https://image.nostr.build/6091a40b6e2c79f679d21fbe80dd31d9858e57ba5dd89de0cd11164a3d222097.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist The primary function of all governments is to stand between you and your; ➡️Wealth, ➡️Prosperity, ➡️Health, ➡️Freedom, The stream of proof is endless, here's more 👇. https://image.nostr.build/daf43f8495a43f141148cfd06e8166c6011cd4685f78ad5ebf421eb08f68ffb2.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist The only agenda for the state is the expansion of control, authority and wealth.

The adjustment from 2023 is an "inflation adjustment" The purpose of this is "that you will not have to pay additional taxes on more money earned unless your pay increase is greater than the inflation rate".

We want to be taken care of and don't care what the true cost of this is or what it means for future generations. 3) ➡️ We don't have a f!cking clue and don't know where money comes from.

If we can make other people's labor cheaper through corruption in fiat monetary policy, driving their wages down, and exporting our inflation/wage deflation to them. Then we can capture their gains. This is what we're doing. The problem is that it's never permanent as the people making these slave wages for our benifit have a right to wealth and abundance also. In an entirely new global monetary system built around a #Bitcoin standard, the credit/debt/inflationary/deflationary fiat manipulation model would cease to exist, and an entirely new structure would emerge. In this system, the decentralized money supply would never change. This would force all prices of all goods and services down to their base layer of production. The great news is that with a #Bitcoin standard, Everyone would get a Tesla, even the cobalt miners of West Africa. If you don't understand this theory, read The Price Of Tomorrow by Jeff Booth, and all will become clear to you. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/63fc95917a8cbc72ceea609d2d81e0b736e8a0720f74b929b836faa5d6990329.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist “Empires of lies create truth bombs that are beginning to explode” – Douglas Macgregor Most government revenue comes from inflation, A hidden, oppressive tax, imposed on the middle class and poor, who have no clue that somebody’s walking into their house, stealing their money, their wages, and their time, then transferring it to other people. Until they’re exposed to this, and politicians begin to advocate on truth, then everything else that’s built on top of this corrupted monetary base layer is nonsense. But sadly, people continue to believe in polarizing and distracting false narratives. Arguably 99% of people all over the world believe inflation is necessary for a productive economy, yet most never ask why? Why does it take 3 jobs to do provide what 1 job could 45 years ago? How does inflation make sense to working class people? Where is the proof that it does? What rate of theft, manipulation and extortion is required to back up your definition of a productive economy? Because that’s exactly what you’re saying if you believe in this system. Money inflation, manipulation and debasement create endless and expansive financial crises. These crises always lead to ideological, social and political polarization. This polarization always ends in a forced systemic restructuring via financial warfare, kinetic warfare, or both. When the majority of people begin to see this pattern of theft, it will likely be during a time when the life they’re accustomed to becomes impossible to maintain. At this point, they’re most likely going to be presented with a few choices, for a small time at least. 1) A form of government CBDC linked to the existing reserve currency, a new reserve currency or a basket of commodities. 2) A new gold/commodity basket-backed currency like BRICS. 3) #Bitcoin Make no mistake, Your life will continue getting harder if you choose not to see that the current global monetary monopoly has created theft, manipulation, and debasement in your money, and, This theft is intentional, permanent, and irreversible. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/efe5e52ef645b152f1d34360895084873a019705e09e20e734864228d3c654f7.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist “It’s Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.” – Mark Twain A fiat standard is a centralized ponzi scheme that's engineered to fail.

Here are some truth bombs for you: 💣 1/3rd of people in Soviet Russia were paid by the state to spy and inform on thier neighbors. They were happy to do so. 💣 Not only are there zero states, governments, institutions, advocacy groups or even religious organizations that are currently promoting peace and unity, most are literally in the business demonizing those who do. 💣 Most western states oppose the execution of criminals yet promote the suicide of their victims. 💣 Most western states fund drug use but not drug rehabilitation. 💣 As a result of western sanctions and theft, Russia is TOTALLY dominating in Ukraine, has formed a strategic alliance with China that never existed before, has built a commodity based sound money to replace US $, has 40 countries wanting to join it and has formed an economic alliance called BRICS designed to rival NATO. 💣 The global system is a psychopathic monopoly and those dedicated to preserving it need to adopt psychopathic qualities to justify their defense of it. If the last 3 years have not shown you that it is as normal for humans to seek the authority as truth, invest in and defend the lie and try to destroy those who oppose, then you need to immediately do 4 things. ➡️ Ask the right questions ➡️ Look in the right directions ➡️ Have the right conversations ➡️ Dig much deeper into history and human nature. When you do this, you will discover why Gold will never work as sound money and why #bitcoin can. You will also discover why #bitcoin represents truth and how is it an antidote to tyranny and suffering. If you dont advocate for the truth as the ultimate authority, then you are the problem. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/9a69356ba8327ddb1b7f696dd3e162b150a84ac4a034472a5748dff36405c983.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Even though we're heading into the worst economy since the great depression, you can at least sleep well knowing that your extorted tax dollars are being counterfeited by your government and spent on things thatthe TV tells you to believe in. https://cdn.nostr.build/i/013ba4e7e7782167cee4641abbb12afdcd4cd8264504b91b160c53dee794d80e.jpg npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist ⚠️REMINDER⚠️ The world we need won't be built by those who are loyal to the world we have.

This matters to you because these forces are back. This hasn’t happened in your life, but it’s happened many times in the past. It's a story about how manipulated money crashes economies, corrupts institutions, defiles the media, polarizes nations into left vs right, and collapses democracies. To start, I’ll share 3 stages of regression leading to war. I’ll finish with sharing my plan. STAGE 1: THE PLAYBOOK FOR WWII Step 1→Break you’re supply chain Step 2→Print massive amounts of money Step 3→Skyrocket inflation Step 4→Debase your currency Step 5→Raise interest rates fast Step 6→Raise the cost of everything but not salaries Step 7→Crash your markets Step 8→Create ideological polarization PRINTING CREATES EVIL 1000’s of years of history prove that every time money’s created from nothing (printed), it ends in crisis. It’s evil because this covert practice by governments falsely raises asset value. REAL Asset value doesn’t increase at all, its money’s value that decreases. This optical illusion of fake asset price increases tricks everyone into believing they’re better off event though, in most cases, they’re worse off. This trick has been played many times before and will be played again. This time it will be in the form of UBI and automatic transfer payments. BACK TO WWII, It began with “reparation payments” imposed on Germany by Britain, France and America. They decided to make Germany pay for all the damage it caused Europe in WWI Great Idea right? Wrong… This was mathematically impossible to achieve and ended in Germany’s financial collapse The Fallout from this chaos quickly spread, even to the far east. **This pattern should start sounding familiar to you** By the late 1930’s/early 1940’s, financial crises popped up all over the place causing populations of many countries to begin to fracture, infight, and POLARIZE INTO RIGHT VS LEFT. Soon, 4 countries that were democracies, decided not to be anymore. These 4 countries were →Spain →Italy →Japan →Germany In that cycle, those countries, led by Germany, radicalized to the right and became fascist. History has taught us that whenever democracies turn into dictatorships, bad things begin to happen. Especially to moderates and those on the loosing side of internal ideological possession war. The winners in populist nations aren’t friendly to anyone who isn’t them. STAGE 2: THE PLAYBOOK FOR TYRANNY Step 1→ Create a problem Step 2→ Market and sell this problem Step 3→ Invent a solution to the problem you just created Step 4→ Market and sell this solution Step 5→ Demonize defiance Step 6→Rinse/Repeat At that time, most nations hid the act of killing their currencies from their people by manufacturing ideological distractions everywhere.

But even if you haven't seen it yet, you'll begin to realize that #bitcoin is the solution to 1000s of years of centralized controlled monetary debasement and demolition. https://news.bitcoin.com/fed-reveals-722-banks-reported-unrealized-losses-over-50-of-capital-as-concerns-over-us-banking-crisis-grow/ npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist IF TAXES ARE NOT EXTORTION AND INFLATION IS NOT THEFT, WHY DO TAXES INCREASE FOREVER WHILE FIAT MONEY DEBASES FORVER? npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist Im moving out of Hamsterwheels City and into Bitcoin Metro.

If you're too big to fail, you get bailed out because it would have an impact on too many people. If you're a small player, you don't get bailed out because your failure doesn't impact the system. I think everyone should use the same rules to operate. If you take too much risk, nobody should be able to bail you out. A Bitcoin standard would ensure that you manage risk properly, whether you have the influence of a government or an individual. If you don't, YOU should face the losses from your decisions, not everyone else. npub1w2dnmu2r6eufjn985quankludhs9drsn86027qncc7ns444kga8qau5lz2 Erik The Decentralist WHEN FIAT COLLAPSES 99.9999% FROM ITS 1971 VALUE, WHAT REPLACES IT?
