"The market over the long term will re-tether you to value. It may take decades, but it happens every single time any government has ever gone through that untethering event." @RepNickBegich argues the dollar's disconnect from scarcity isn't permanent.

Bitcoin is a wild animal that cannot be tamed. It will bite the hand that feeds it. It only teaches, never learns.

Freedom can be measured in how many victimless crimes go unpunished.

One of Bitcoins most powerful features is the lack of borders. Use it.

The real moonshot is solving this.
The second you reach for the words “ban,” “stop,” or “eliminate” as your policy, you're on the wrong side of history.  Shape the technology toward the goal, don't try to outlaw the future.

The U.S. federal government spends $1 trillion every 51 days. How much more do they need solve poverty?

I don’t hate that we got our first trillionaire, I’m disappointed that poverty, hunger, cancer, etc. didn’t get eradicated before we got our first trillionaire

Taxation is the purest form of immoral and unethical.

NEW GRADS: If you're waiting for employers to give you a shot at a job, or even an interview... try BUILDING that dream product, company, or business you want.  No one can tell you otherwise, YOU have the POWER.

"There is no societal permission for an AI future that hollows out entire industries." The market decides. When you let "society" decide you get Venezuela.

Monopoly on violence says what?
Elon Musk has become a trillionaire. If we confiscated just 15% of his wealth we could: clean up all the oceans, eliminate poverty, and literally make the world into a utopia. Instead he chooses to indulge in his phallic obsession with rockets and wants to build data centers in space. You cant even move electricity from space to earth. Dumbest idea ever. All the best, Wolfgang

The government has too much money and billionaires aren't doing enough to prevent it.

Elon musk is proving to be the perfect distraction the federal government needs to gloss over the currency crisis.

If I absolutely HAD to pick an organization that was guaranteed to destroy my financial future. I would choose the federal government.

Distributed power is better than centralized power. The only time nuclear weapons have been used was when only one country had the power. Regardless, since knowledge is power, it becomes distributed over time organically.
Being a billionaire doesn't qualify you to make good decisions but it's definitely better to have a smaller number of people access to such powers than every person in the world

Governments are inherently destructive, they are the cause of birthrate decline in modern society.
