Bitcoin Is For Everyone is out now in print, audiobook, and ebook -- I can’t believe I finally get to say that! This educational project has been years in the making. It comes from my family’s immigrant story, from watching the American Dream get priced out for so many hard-working people, and from my conviction that understanding money and Bitcoin can truly change ordinary lives. Before it goes out into the world in a bigger way, I want to acknowledge three people whose minds and hearts shaped this book in a huge way: @LynAldenContact’s thoughtful, disciplined, data-driven mind was absolutely indispensable. Lyn’s ability to turn complex ideas into clear writing grounded in rock-solid facts was a huge inspiration. Knowing she took the time to read and challenge this book is an honor I don’t take lightly. @JeffBooth has such a uniquely calm, compassionate way of explaining the massive paradigm shift we’re living through. Jeff helped me articulate the transition we’re in (from a debt-driven, deflation-fighting system to something more hopeful) in a way that feels grounded and human. And the formidable Michael @Saylor…The way he combines first-principles logic, long-term vision, and personal integrity has deeply influenced my journey in Bitcoin. His example gave me so much courage to write boldly and from the heart. To Lyn, Jeff, and Michael: thank you for reading early copies of Bitcoin Is For Everyone, for your feedback, and for the example you each set in this space. You helped make this book better! I’m so excited (and very nervous!) to finally share it with all of you. You can order Bitcoin Is For Everyone now. I truly hope it helps people feel more empowered in this financial system.

You’re trying to tax everyday Bitcoin investors with your new crypto tax. Why don’t you come on the biggest Bitcoin podcast and discuss with our community @GovPritzker ???

First they fumbled the Bears. Now Illinois is the first state in America to tax Bitcoin 0.2% on the value of transactions including transfers to personal wallets? Slipped into the budget at the last minute? This will head for a court fight. Illinois keeps drifting toward the tax-everything, government-knows-best mindset that socialism is built on. This is just the newest step. Do better.

2 of you tied! Did AI help 🥲 @german_hodler @Mhxbeyond - send me your Speed QR codes :) Absolutely incredible meal BTW.

There’s a big philosophical divide in Bitcoin right now. One camp believes Bitcoin’s greatest strength is minimizing reliance on banks, treasury companies, and intermediaries…prioritizing self-custody and individual sovereignty. The other argues Bitcoin’s next phase of growth requires global capital markets. That includes Bitcoin-backed lending and new forms of digital credit that bring trillions of dollars from traditional finance into the Bitcoin economy. Michael Saylor’s argument: that’s ultimately how Bitcoin goes from $60K to $1 million. He also argues these aren’t opposing visions…they’re complementary. Where do you land?

Everyone’s chasing AI stocks. @Saylor says that’s exactly why Bitcoin has been underperforming and why the setup gets interesting when the hot money rotates back. His take on the “AI summer” and when capital returns to Bitcoin. Don’t miss our full interview streaming now 👇🏼

Michael @Saylor believes Bitcoin can 500x. The more interesting question is how. At @BTCPrague, we discuss whether Bitcoin’s path forward is driven primarily by adoption and savings, or by capital flowing in through global credit markets. We also tackle mNAV, concerns around dilution, and Bitcoin per share.

I got @PeterSchiff to admit bitcoin is not going to zero on national television. Next he will reveal he owns a bunch of bitcoin too…

SpaceX just went public with 18,712 Bitcoin on the balance sheet. Politicians are mad the IPO made Elon Musk a trillionaire. (They’re not mad about ~$40 trillion in national debt?) Hundreds of billions are flowing into AI, pulling capital away from BTC. Meanwhile there is a growing debate between Bitcoin fundamentalists and Bitcoin capitalists. We cover it all in the latest News Block, streaming now! 👇🏼
