How do you fight, you know, something which is so entrenched in the civilization, that the harder you push, the harder it pushes back.. And the answer is you have to, you have to introduce a new idea that will go viral. So for example, Bitcoin, you know, is a new idea. You could view it as freedom technology, a freedom virus, and you can also view it as a monetary virus to give sound money to the world. So if I want to give freedom and sovereignty and dignity and empowerment to 8 billion people, I don't loudly scream that their overlords ought to stop leaning on them. You know, I'm not going to topple every government and every corporate overlord and everything. So what I do is I introduce a new technology that spreads virally. And if I want to give property rights to 8 billion people, I introduce a new technology. And when you introduce a new technology, you, there's a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. I think when you say you're wrong, you're stupid, I'm smart. Do it my way. Change your way, Right. The harder you, the louder you say that, the harder someone pushes back against you. That's like parenting. You create inflammation. Yeah, right. And and there are examples in our political system where certain political parties, their position is: the other party is wrong. We're right, they're stupid, we're smart. Do it our way and give us credit and blame them, right? And so that that's an inflammatory approach. I think that you could spend $100 billion trying to to jam your idea on someone that doesn't want it. They will just crowdsource $100 billion of power to push back. And that's called fighting a war, right? You're just going to war. I think that the more elegant way.. is to introduce a new idea. You know Bitcoin. What is it good for? Oh, it'll be good for your family. What else? It'll be good for your company. What else? Ohh. It'll help your bank. What else? It'll help your state. What else? It'll help your city. It'll help your country. What else? You know you want to fight a war? To help you win the war. You know you disagree with the X. It'll help your political party. You want to win election? It'll help you win, right? What? What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is good for you. Right. Bitcoin is empowerment technology that will allow you to be the best version of yourself. Who's losing? Nobody's losing who's wrong? Nobody's wrong. Just everybody's just better with this is better living through technology.

As bitcoin passed $65k today, it is good revisit this Smart Humans episode from before. assets like BTC have asymmetric upside. if you lose it all, you only lose 1x. but if it goes up a lot you can make 3x, 10x, 50x, etc. don't get caught in the urge to trade. if you are thinking to invest focus on holding for the long term

Where is Jeo Boden? The Fall of #Trump Meme Coins 1-10) We anticipate that today's Trump vs. Harris debate will have minimal immediate impact on Bitcoin, with any effects likely to become more apparent in the coming weeks. In contrast, the forthcoming #CPI report, due 12 hours later, and next week's #FOMC meeting are expected to significantly influence Bitcoin's movement. 2-10) However, this doesn't mean #Bitcoin won't gain a positive boost from a potential Trump victory. 3-10) Read our full report: https://lnkd.in/gm-n9Vqq

Bitcoin continues to get the attention of high-profile investors: A few days ago we saw Larry Fink on CNBC talking about the utility he sees in #Bitcoin, after first being a huge skeptic. https://lnkd.in/eCPYhR6J Now we see this post from Mark Cuban: https://lnkd.in/ey-kahij The game theory is playing out. Take the time to learn what #Bitcoin is, what money should be, and position yourself carefully. It will be time well invested.
