This is the game, and it is irreversible.<br/><br/>Bitcoin Retail is being fleeced by an industry so cohesive and sophisticated it can issue vast paper Bitcoin, not get “FTX’d”, and then recover it - as an Industry - while driving the price ever lower, forcing the Retail to sell to them, ad infinitum. <br/><br/>Plebs are losing the War. We are so out-classed by paper exchanges and little to no Self-Custody ethos that I cannot see Bitcoin undermining Fiat ever. Supporting it, yes, becoming the bedrock for it, as intended. But BTC is flowing into the coffers of Power, we are powerless, the US Dollar Overlords have so outclassed us that they are and will continue driving the price sideways and down for the rest of our lives if need be…and I see no other game-theory sovereign power in the world that wants to go against the US.<br/><br/>I’m experiencing the “long, dark night of the soul”. I sense we have lost, that Bitcoin is becoming a State asset. I have little hope for our children.<br/><br/>I’ve heard that when the Confederate supporters were losing the American Civil War, they began hiding their gold/silver in jars to protect it from the invading Union armies. When you start hiding your Money in hopes your kids can have it someday, you’ve already lost. 2026-06-04T04:36:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsfgxlwqtdp3lv3kjls02jm79ekzjenkdjpe3qyge2l7424smt8zwqzyq380r02yfzv2gk20493w0uvfuw2anm0xjkrnjg7yy5vprc7trgl6jm8c0a Name an asset - any in History - where:<br/><br/>-Infrastructure build-out continually hits all-time highs<br/>-Adoption openly, verifiably increases<br/>-Network effect, feedback loops &amp; buildout grow exponentially<br/><br/>yet the value of that asset cannot rise.<br/><br/>Paper Bitcoin is FUCKING RAMPANT<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/bc2f3ea7b7a65362ed7269c794096121dc36c0fb09c558b6693441e0e6b57609.jpg"> 2026-06-03T04:45:55Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq8alp03lphjtfzsl90quruwtfpucpjl6f4wk98ty8xr2l7q0dggszyq380r02yfzv2gk20493w0uvfuw2anm0xjkrnjg7yy5vprc7trgl6nc2d4u If I could ask everyone who reads this to take a moment to stop, breathe deep a few times, and speak into the air around you,<br/><br/>“I wish the Best for Carla”<br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1hu3hdctm5nkzd8gslnyedfr5ddz3z547jqcl5j88g4fame2jd08qh6h8nh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>CARLA</span> (<span class="italic">npub1hu3…h8nh</span>)</a></span> <br/><br/>then go on with what you’re doing.<br/><br/>It won’t mean anything to you, but it will help her, even if you don’t know what I’m asking. 2026-05-30T04:20:56Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqt75dqvan9wez46p27j292fn8ehqwyn5pcz3vmepg390l37yxfyczyq380r02yfzv2gk20493w0uvfuw2anm0xjkrnjg7yy5vprc7trgl6jw6d9t Something is fundamentally wrong with Bitcoin.<br/><br/>Paper Bitcoin is clearly rampant.<br/>Lesser exchanges will fail before Coinbase, because they’re “off-shore” or unimportant or whatever.<br/><br/>The first hit is coming, though, and I feel it’s soon, but it’s coming.<br/><br/>Bitcoin needs to right it’s wrongs by revealing why Self-Custody was built into the protocol.<br/><br/>So Self-Custody now, or go down crying.<br/>Because imo the retards are very near the high-water mark, and about to drown.<br/><br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/d29b25092c49c320ae3acc0f55eb9b06104b3438e49cd90a4aa71f635a349e43.jpg"> 2026-05-27T05:09:10Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsp6aucfsvr0cdts0jw9xx0ydkzynptzyxw9n82eue0q5hrdsvmzyszyq380r02yfzv2gk20493w0uvfuw2anm0xjkrnjg7yy5vprc7trgl6mrypc5 I want to put this out while I’m thinking of it:<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1rxysxnjkhrmqd3ey73dp9n5y5yvyzcs64acc9g0k2epcpwwyya4spvhnp8" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>BTCsessions</span> (<span class="italic">npub1rxy…hnp8</span>)</a></span> is rolling out a channel promoting sovereign tech use, which is a direction I personally will support.<br/><br/>Also, I’ve been involved in a a project with a number of high-school age kids, and what strikes me was how almost all of them have gmail accounts.
