      The people who make and enforce the laws are violent criminals.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The people who make the money are thieves.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It is no wonder we have a world run by violent criminals and thieves. Opt out.

    <content type="html">
      I watched Finding Satoshi today and it was a really moving documentary.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The conclusion that Hal Finney and Len Sassaman likely collaborated under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto to create Bitcoin seems very plausible to me given the evidence presented.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Even more significant to me though was the takeaway about these two men as human beings.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;They were brilliant and competent, but they were also kind, thoughtful, humble, and principled. They were good teammates, friends, partners, and in Hal&amp;#39;s case, a good father.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;All of our lives, we are shown example after example in society that these kinds of men are not valuable. That, in fact, power, cunning, and ruthlessness are the only ways for individuals to make an impact in the world. Might makes right and the strong can do what they want, while the weak suffer what they must.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Bitcoin&amp;#39;s origin story is a repudiation of that worldview. It shatters that framework.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Look at how much positive impact Bitcoin has already had on the world. And imagine how much positive impact is yet to come.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If Hal and Len were the creators of Bitcoin, it demonstrates to the world that kind, humble, hardworking, collaborative, and loving individuals are powerful. In fact, they may demonstrate that a dedicated network of those types of individuals are the most powerful force in the world.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We Are All Satoshi. We can be peaceful, loving, and humble (enough) people, and we can also be a force of nature that even powerful tyrants bend to.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thank you Satoshi. We&amp;#39;ll carry the flame from here. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

      I believe what we see in society today is that everyone, and I mean everyone, is walking around with deep psychological and spiritual wounds from the sick fiat money death economy society we&amp;#39;re living in.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Living life through 9/11, the wars in the Middle East, the Global Financial Crisis, the COVID Plandemic, 10/7, Ukraine, the Israel Genocide... It is an assault on the human spirit.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We have been under attack for almost 25 years. Everyone feels the weight of these crimes against humanity, almost no one understands what&amp;#39;s happening, and even fewer people have some answers for how to heal and get out of this mess.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;May divine Providence have mercy on us all. We are hurting, and we need some help.

      Being a Bitcoiner is bittersweet.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As it&amp;#39;s fiat price continues to rise, it means that my personal savings continue to rise. My future keeps getting brighter. At the same time, it means that almost all of my loved ones savings continue to deteriorate.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Perhaps I haven&amp;#39;t tried hard enough, but I can&amp;#39;t seem to get anyone close to me to see the light about fiat money vs. BTC. There are certain walls that go up when the topic arises. Or the typical propaganda talking points have been effective enough to close their minds.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;What a strange experience, seeing your thesis play out over the years, exactly as you foresaw, and yet everyone you care about thinks you&amp;#39;re crazy.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Being right about Bitcoin early has its hidden costs, and one of them is being misunderstood and isolated.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#Bitcoin

      Self-sovereignty is an ideal worth striving for.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It means that individuals are worthy and valuable in and of themselves.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Each individual has a right to determine their life&amp;#39;s path and purpose and no other group or individual can infringe upon that right.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To me, #Bitcoin is a technology that enables self-sovereignty. It&amp;#39;s remarkable what&amp;#39;s possible when individuals, families, and businesses can self-custody a sound money that protects their wealth over time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This summer, our team &lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Person&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/nprofile1qqswr7dmnv2uhvlynsxgzsnf9uggsw5f3xx2qwlltylys8n3gw8t7hqpr9mhxue69uhkuenwd96xcmm0wqhxxmmd9ahx7um5wgq3gamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3w8qmnwdewvd5z7qg4waehxw309ahx7um5wghxganywshxgetk9u3nszwj&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Sovreign&lt;/span&gt; (&lt;span class=&#34;italic&#34;&gt;nprofile…szwj&lt;/span&gt;)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is laser focused on helping people get started on their Bitcoin and self-sovereignty journey.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We&amp;#39;ve developed an introductory offer that I am confident folks will find a lot of value in.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you believe in the ideal of self-sovereignty as well, now is the time to live it. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let&amp;#39;s build the world we want to live in.

      #Bitcoin will enforce a meritocracy whether the collectivists like it or not.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That&amp;#39;s because collectivism requires state theft and redistribution to work. When it&amp;#39;s impossible to steal people&amp;#39;s wealth, it&amp;#39;s impossible to build a collectivist society.

      If you want everything to keep getting more expensive for the rest of your life, use the Dollar, the Euro, the Pound, the Yen, or any other fiat currency as money.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If you want everything to keep getting less expensive for the rest of your life, use #Bitcoin as money.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Inflation is not inevitable, and does not have to make your life harder.

    <content type="html">
      *****&lt;br/&gt;Imagine a vibrant, sun-drenched beach party, with the sound of waves crashing and the smell of sunscreen and saltwater filling the air. A large group of Bitcoiners, dressed in t-shirts with Bitcoin logos and wearing festive leis, are gathered around a massive sandcastle shaped like the Bitcoin logo. They&amp;#39;re holding beers, sats-themed cocktails, and lighting sparklers that trace the path of a bitcoin transaction on a makeshift sand blockchain.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A few enthusiasts are giving impromptu speeches, shouting about hyperbitcoinization and the impending collapse of fiat currencies, while others are engaged in heated debates about the merits of different lighting networks. Children are running around, playing with bitcoin-shaped beach balls and building sandcastles adorned with tiny bitcoin flags.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In the center of it all, a large bonfire roars, with a spit-turning a whole pig, surrounded by tables laden with food: sats-shaped cookies, pizza with bitcoin pepperoni, and a massive cake shaped like a giant sats stack. Everyone is laughing, cheering, and raising their glasses in a toast to &amp;#34;The Summer of Sats.&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;As the sun begins to set, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink, the party shifts into high gear. A DJ sets up, playing a mix of techno and bitcoin-themed remixes, and the crowd goes wild, dancing and waving their sparklers in the air. The energy is electric, a testament to the shared belief in a future where Bitcoin reigns supreme.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is &amp;#34;The Summer of Sats&amp;#34;—a time of celebration, camaraderie, and unshakable belief in the power of Bitcoin.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;*****&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Shout out Venice AI 🫡&lt;br/&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&#34;border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid&#34;&gt;&lt;div class=&#34;-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2&#34;&gt;quoting &lt;br/&gt;&lt;span itemprop=&#34;mentions&#34; itemscope itemtype=&#34;https://schema.org/Article&#34;&gt;&lt;a itemprop=&#34;url&#34; href=&#34;/nevent1qqs9qcpcvycx588d6mvvgxpwxjra2w67snsky2k95d839uwc8w2guwspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsxve2srpalk3tz3897qrgd29ma94ctdxuvfjqtd3mr98sreanwprcrqsqqqqqpd9jy80&#34; class=&#34;bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1&#34;&gt;nevent1q…jy80&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; It&#39;s the Summer of Sats!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#Bitcoin &lt;/blockquote&gt;

      People around the world are waking up to the fact that their national government hates their guts and is trying to rob them blind before they kill them.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Governments around the world (save for El Salvador and maybe Argentina) are failing miserably. Thus, we see them flailing about like chickens with their heads cut off.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is a central government&amp;#39;s natural response when it is on a fiat standard. And we are in the late stages of complete and utter collapse of fiat currencies. They want their citizens to be afraid so they don&amp;#39;t act. So they don&amp;#39;t fight back.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I believe we are in for some serious fireworks in Q4 2024 and throughout all of 2025. As they say, &amp;#34;desperate times call for desperate measures.&amp;#34; The statists are really desperate right now.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#Bitcoin
